Looking to sell games - alternative to ebay - tradeyourgames.co.uk

I thought it might be an idea to talk about selling games on ebay and amazon - its too competitive now and the amount you get for your games is pretty low.
Couple of weeks ago, I sold a couple of dsgames for my son on ebay - one didnt sell, one sold for a much higher price than I expected and the other two have gone for very low amounts (when taking the fees off and the individual postage) - it really wasnt worth it! I think with all the fakes on ebay from china for the ds mean that I was bound to not get much for the games.
Ive since then sold the unsold game, and 4 others to tradeyourgames.co.uk where I was able to find out the price upfront on their site that they would pay me, sent in the games and got the money paid by paypal. Didnt have to pay any fees and it was so much easier.. Thinking this is the way to go now rather than the hassle of ebay.
I would therefore reccomend tradeyourgames.co.uk and also checking out cex.co.uk and speedsell.com to compare which place gives the most cash - and forget about the hassle of ebay auctions!! Anybody else still use ebay to sell their games?
Anybody else know of other sites that do the same thing? Someone should create a price comparison of these sites - would be great for mse'ers!:T
