I am not huurting for money, just looking to make the biggest return on my PS4.  I can afford to use my extra PS4 as trade in to aquire extra games at no cost.  I know that is not the case for everyone, but it is for me.  That does not stop me from being able to get exta games off of using trade in credit vs selling for money.  I did not have to use my bank account, so to me they are free as it was just sitting around doing nothing.  I know nothing is truly free, or I would have had a hard time getting where I am in life if I did not.

 

Let it also be noted I never buy games used as I believe that if I am to buy a game, the devs should get their cut of my money.  So shopping around on facebook is not in my personal list of options.

You wanted to make the biggest return on your ps4... so you traded it to gamestop who'll add 110 to the store credit they gave you for it and sell it?

I wasn't suggesting you go on facebook to buy Switch games used btw, was saying you could have went on one to sell your PS4 then use that money to buy the Switch versions of the games. That would have meant that another person gets your ps4 for around the same as what Gamestop will sell it for or slightly less. Then you would have had an extra 110 to give to Devs with new copies of Switch games instead of buying the discounted ps4 inventory from Gamestop, on top of gifting them 110 for the transaction.

Just looked on facebook.  Most 500gb PS4s with no games are going to around 150 to 175.  Some are asking for more but are including games (I would not).  I traded mine in for 165 store credit, so I would have been in arguably the same boat that I was already in.

 

So by going to gamestop, I got pretty much what I would have gotten on facebook, minus the hassle of waiting, meeting, or shipping.  Sorry, but it just does not seem like a much better option.
