I'd rather pay $60 for Ogre Battle on Ebay or Amazon than trade in 3 $60 games each for $20 credit to buy it at Game Stop.

I will never understand why people trade games into Game Stop. If I have something to sell I sell it myself on Ebay or Amazon. I walk away with more money and my customer pays less then Game Stop. Plus my old games are in much better shape that the crap Game Stop sells for $5 less than the new price.

It's easier to just walk into a store and sell your games so I think that's what makes people do that.

I think it's easier to take a picture, post an auction, and drop into the mail inside a flat rate envelope. It's easy and nets often nets twice what Game Stop would give you. And it's money not credit.

I honestly have nothing again Game Stop. I'm not one of those haters who has some person grudge against the company. I just think trading in games for a tiny fraction of their worth is a bad financial decision.

But then again, I very rarely sell my games. I keep a very large collection with items dating back to the 70s all the way to today. But when I do decide to get rid of a game I sell it for what it's worth instead of trading it in for a pittance.
