hmm was about 13 years since I sold any games that I own
If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing 
(mostly)
And shepherds we shall be,
For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints
They may be on the shelf but I keep my games. Ive got a freaking Saturn back there with Guardian Heroes, Baku Baku Animal, Nights and all, I keep my old games. Some of them just cannot be replaced.
I'm similar to superchunk. I always trade or resell my used games (via eBay, gametz.com, or goozex.com, NEVER to GameStop), unless one of two things is true:
1. There's a good chance I'll want to play through it again.
2. There's a good chance I'll play it with my wife or friends.
Once it's clear that the game will only sit on my shelf and collect dust, I sell or trade it. The end result is that I feel much less guilt about buying games than I used to.
I never sell back any games.
Well one exception I sold turok evolution to gamestop for a dollar, and was happy to have done that, because I have never felt as sick as I did after playing that game. No clue why either, felt seasick.
I have never sold back any game.

I usually keep them, and for quite a long time.
I had about 10-15 MegaDrive games but I sold all those when I sold the machine.
I had 24 (give or take 1) N64 games, but have only got 14 now I think (I sold the others to a second hand games shop)
I have also sold 4 of my GC games (3 of them with my GC before I bought a Wii)
I always keep them unless I hate them. I can't understand why someone would buy a game then sell it back for a fraction of the price. If you don't want to own it then rent instead. If you're going to sell a game at least put it on eBay or something so you get a decent price.
superchunk said:
really. I buy games used off Ebay, save about $10 per game. (Every 5th game is free basically) I resell that game later, anywhere from $5 - $10 less than I paid. In the end I have way more games than most people and spend a fraction of the money I would have by either buying and keeping or renting from blockbuster/hollywood.
Financially speaking I say your method is ridiculous. |
Trade them online, there are plenty of cheap and free trading sites:
www.gametz.com
www.tradegamesnow.com
www.goozex.com
Or sell them on ebay/amazon and pay their high fees, either way you come out far, far ahead of trading things into GS.
A while back I realize the only thing my collection was gathering was dusk. the majority of games lose most of their value within a year, so if you can force yourself to trade off games after you're finished with them you can frequently get something else (or cash) that you also want to play.
Basically for every game I buy new, ($50ish since most big 360 release are avaible at Costco for that price) I can resell them for around $40 within a couple months of release ($30ish profit on ebay after fees) or trade them for another recent release ( Like Mass Effect for Halo 3, or Uncharted for COD4) and in the end I've either got about half my money back or a new game, which I can also trade off when I'm done.
I hold onto them like they are my children. I have had too many regrets in the past getting rid of them.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
