    Chances are unless they're Sims titles or something similar you'll be very lucky to get much for them - PC games depreciate in value much quicker than console games due to the ease of piracy on the format.

    There is an internet forum where you can buy, sell or trade games which is established on trust. I use it for PS3 games. You may get a bit of luck on there.

    PM me and I'll point you thatta way.
  • You shouldn't have to pay to list games for less than £1 on ebay... Alternatively you could try listing them on Amazon, this would also give you an idea of how much they are worth second hand. But, as has been mentioned, unless it is a sims game or something a bit niche then it is unlikely to make much.

    I've just sold some Sims games on Ebay, made about £10 for them, so not bad considering i would of thrown them in the bin otherwise :P

    Ebay seemed to have changed their rules now, so private sellers can list so many items a month for free if it starts at 99p. So thats what I did last week, listed a few DVD's/games and have just made £55 on them! So result for me since I was thinking of just giving them to a charity shop or binning them!

    Ebay is good in that some people get carried away, I have just sold a DVD for £15, now no way did i pay that for it brand new and on Amazon you can get a new one for like £3.50 lol. I think people get addicted to bidding :O
