2 years ago and before that, I used to always trade in stuff. But after I traded in a game, that I really wanted back and wasn't able to get back for another 2 years, I stopped and never did it again. Hell, after I buy stuff, I immediately take off the plastic to make sure I'm not even tempted to return it. If I buy it, I'm keeping it.
And in the long run it's just a better decision. You trade something in, and you obviously are losing a lot of value. Not only do you not get full value for what you paid for it, but what you are going to get with that money is not going to equal the value you had previously. You lose twice haha.
So now, I hang onto everything which has even included games I have absolutely detested (such as Prototype). It makes a nice collection though, but I am in need of some shelves haha.
