    I've sold mine on Ebay, I got good money for them, I got average of £10 each game through bids.

    You can trade them in at GAME and other Video game stores for cash (you may not get a good deal) or in exchange for other games like people upgrade or change consoles.

    Unless they are mega rare, they really don't go for much at all.

    You could put them on ebay as a job lot? Or take them to CEX?

    Don't go to GAME - since they went into administration and were taken over I understand they don't trade for cash anymore. Store credit isn't worth the paper it's written on in the current climate as it's a struggling business with over £85m debt.

  • We recently had a clearout, and sent a load of stuff to music magpie (still waiting on payment). But my OH is a bit of a gamer, and we were left with a load of PS1 games and some PS2/Xbox games that MM wouldn't take for whatever reason.

    I googled "who buys PS1 games UK" and it gave a few results. A place called Chillout Games had good reviews, so I took a chance on them.

    We had 50+ games, and were quoted £90.84. After they received our games and did the checking, we were sent an emailing detailing the amendments they wanted to make to our quote. Vast majority of the prices stayed the same, and some went down, but some went up (which I didn't expect and was pleasantly suprised!). In the end they offered us £96.54 (which was paid to my paypal account). I'd definitely use them again.
