Gamestop/ebgames, ebay or somewhere else?

I'm interested in where everyone buys their used games, and do you find the prices you buy them for to be fair?

Those of you who buy games on ebay, what aspects of online buying do you find most annoying? Price? shipping time? Amount of time you have to wait for auctions to close? scams?

 

I definitely think the prices this generation are ridiculously inflated. Used games often sell for only 5 dollars less than new ones. That's ridiculous when in past generations used games were usually half or even under half the price of a sealed copy.

I get a lot from Ebay, some from gamestop (although i hate that they have stickers all over the cases) sometimes blockbuster and movie gallery sell their old rentals for decent prices and gamefly sometimes has some really good deals



Man, don't even start with rental prices... I might as well buy the damn game with the amount VG rental services charge.



you dont need to rent from gamefly, blockbuster or movie gallery to buy their games



To give you an idea from gamefly i got Half Life 2 for $8.99, Assassins Creed for $7.99 and Haze (yes it sucks but hey why not) for $4.99

Mostly gamecrazy, but sometimes ebay. Gamestop is too expensive for used, might as well buy new.  I will admit that gamestop does have a better selection though.



Craigslist, Ebay, Blockbuster, Rogers Video (they have sales on 2 previous played for $40).

I avoid Electronics Boutique.  Such a ripoff on used games although I do trade my used games in when they have a trade 3 for a new game promo.

I generally won't pay more than $30 for a used game since the video stores have such good deals on older games otherwise I prefer to buy new.





Gamestop (four local locations) -- especially if I am unsure whether I want to keep the game.

A couple of local shopes.

eBay.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

I purchase all my used games at Gamestop.



TO GOD BE THE GLORY

Ebay, GameStop or Play 'n Trade.

I only buy used if I can't find the game new.
