Best way to sell / trade in games?

925 Posts


Hi guys,
Did a little search on this but not alot came up and nothing recent.
I bought an xbox from ebay for my son for christmas and with it I got loads of games that are 15/18 rated. No good for my son so planning to sell them off and recoup some of the outlay.
I have 28 games in total to sell off. I put them all in Cex and Game and Cex total was £57 and game £40. But I see game have a matching offer, which looking at the comparisons for each game could get me an extra £20 as the Cex prices win in most cases.
I have put them all on gumtree also with a range of prices that undercuts Cex and Game's preowned selling price but which is more than the trade in prices. No takers.
Bit concerned about dropping them on ebay in case they sell for less than trade in value.
What can I do with these to get a good overall price out of them?
Thanks

That way you can put in the price you want.
Try shifting them on a local buy/sell Facebook page or suchlike, worst that can happen is that if they don't shift cut your losses & take them to CEX/Game.
There's also the sphock app for selling stuff.

Personally, i try those three plus GAME and CEX for each individual game, see whos bidding me the most for that game, then end up sending off several packages to ensure i get the most money returned.
I wouldnt bother with ebay personally - too many "lost in the post", or "this disk is scratched" or "it wont play on my console" issues.
