Sell my DS's PS2 games

Claudie

My DS wants to sell some of his old PS2 games to put the money towards buying the new Lego Star Wars game. I know Blockbuster and Game both offer some kind of trade in policy - is one substantially better than the other or are they both roughly the same?

He also has a load of GBA games but he hasn't kept any of the boxes or instructions for those so I may sell them on EBay but he wants to sell the others a bit quicker than that as he is desperate for the Lego game.

Any advice welcome - I am a games luddite!

Thanks

Hello Claudie

I'll move your thread over to the 'Ebay & other auctions, Car Boot and Jumble Sales' board, where it should get more views and responses.

Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere(please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies.

The more recent they are, the better. I would have a look at the Used prices on Amazon. There's a thread on Amazon further down the page.

All you do is put the code in, pick your price, then wait for someone to buy it.

generally game give completely awful prices! Games that are 1 year old only get £1-£5 even if they are still shrink wrapped and sought after. Ebay makes alot more money for the games!

The GBA games will sell for next to nothing unless you have the boxes........... eBay is probably still the best option.....Game will give you very little for them...have you tried Blockbusters???????????

Thanks everyone. I was looking to sell them in person as opposed to Ebay as he wanted the cash immediately to buy another game. In the end we went to Blockbuster and he sold roughly half a dozen Thomas and Captain Scarlet movies, half a dozen of his PS2 games plus 4 or 5 of his Dad's PS2 games and he got a £46 credit at Blockbusters. I am sure that is better than we would have done at a car boot, maybe even better than EBay - he was really pleased.

The GBA games I will sell on EBay later when I get a bit more time, hopefully they will earn him a few more pennies. The lady at BB did say they have chandged their policy and no longer taken gba now.

Thanks again
