Game trade in prices

I'm considering buying a PSP 3000 from game, I've got some wii games which I was going to trade in, however I can't find anything on their website which gives me an idea of what I'm likely to get for the games I've got.

If anyone could give me a rough idea it would be greatly appreciated:
  • Mario Kart
  • Mario Party 8
  • Mario and sonic at the olympic games
  • Mario strikers charged football
  • Animal crossing
  • Wii play
  • Carnival Funfair Games
  • Warioware smooth moves
  • Super monkey ball banana blitz
  • Harvest moon magical melody
  • My sims
  • Trauma centre second opinion
  • My horse and me
  • Dewys adventure
  • Endless ocean
  • Excite truck
  • Super paper mario
Sorry long list :o

I realise I'd probably get more selling them on ebay, but i'm not sure how much more and if it wiuld be worth the messing around.

    Game trade-in's prices are poor. They have a huge markup on selling trade in's. For the newer games, you're much better off selling them on eBay IMO.

    They have a price list that they pay for trade in prices, but these are advisory as this will vary depending on the condition of the discs, boxes etc - and they will never tell you what those prices are until you speak to someone in the shop (and show them the goods so to speak).

    CEX list prices on their website so you could have a look there and it may give you some idea.
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die

    Game don't have written lists of trade in games, you have to take them all to the shop then they scan them and tell you that days value. They are crap they give you peanuts then resell at inflated prices!

    Do not trade them. Just keep them.

    just looking at them for the 17 games i would be shocked if you got more than £50 for the lot, probably closer to £30 in all reality
    Drop a brand challenge
    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)
