Trade them in at CEX for vouchers and use them towards buying a game you do want?

Why throw something like that away which someone could use eg buying from cex or a charity shop.

I think Cex's sales will fall according to some online chat that mentions the postage change in September..


I was compiling an order of games for myself and grandchildren, but happened to check the basket and found the postage is £1.50 per item costing under £50, instead of the fixed price for up to10 items. Even someone buying one item over £50 still has to pay £1.50 for any cheaper items in the order.


Customers who regularly spend over £50 have decided to leave as their postage has gone up by 10x£1.50- £2.50=£12.50

I advertised two carrier bags of pre-Vista pc games, on Freegle , and they were snapped up by a man who does security work and plays on an old laptop when bored.

What about your local foodbank? They might be interested in them.

We usually throw in a few toys with the food donations we make at this time of year so that they can give their children something/a bit more for christmas.

Suppose that might not work so well if they're 18+ games though.

Trade them in at GAME or CEX (personally I'd recommend GAME).

As said a charity shop or CEX. Retro game collecting is a thing now. Games you think people won't want some collect just so they can get complete collections.

I'd vote CEX. Get trade credit and buy a game you want
