Again, from one of my favorite websites. Overall it isn't too shocking that Ebay and Amazon Marketplace are the best way to sell your games, however if you don't have a collection of boxes you received for free you'll probably do just as good at ToysRus, but be stuck with a gift card. Gamestop still has the advantage of being the best known by the uninformed shopper, but this may cause gamestop to increase their payout for used games.
