Do the franchise game stores list trade in values?
I'm selling my PS2, so of course I've got some games to get rid of. I have several GBA, PS2 and PS1 games. I'm wondering if I'd do better to sell them on Ebay or just try to get credit at somewhere like Game Rush, Game Stop, etc.? Do these places list what credit they give for each game? Perhaps I'll post these games in the trade forum.

You pretty much always do better selling them yourself (or trading them in the forum here).
The possible exception might be when Gamecrazy has some good trade in deals where you get extra money toward preorders with each game you trade. i.e. more than the trade in value of the game.

GameRush (Blockbuster) is doing a deal where you can trade-in 3 or more videogames and get an extra $5 on top of what they were going to give you for each one. They are also doing a promotion where you trade-in 2 videogames and they will give you $20 towards the preorder of an upcoming game. This is a good deal to maximize on those $1 games.
Ebgames is doing a deal where you trade-in your console and 3 games (I think, possibly more) and receive $100 in store credit. You should have all packaging and documentation with your trade-in.
Good luck.

GameRush has been GREAT for me. They also have a deal coming up, trade 3 games, get and pre-owned for $5. Good for those stores with NEW pre-owned titles.
There are a few restrictions there...like old sports games

If you have a FYE nearby, you should give them a try. (at least for the PS2 games). FYE has pretty damn good trade in values. In fact they are sometimes ridiculous. (I once bought a copy of Room Zoom for $10 at EB and then traded it in to FYE for $26 about ten minutes later.)
With FYE credit and about $30 out of pocket I have purchased: a PS2, Halo 2, Burnout 3, MechAssault 2, a PSP, and Twisted Metal Head-on
The Cheapassgamer.com forum has a good thread listing their trade-in values.

I know that Gamestop and EB won't let you find out the trade values withut going into the store. They want you to make a special trip to the store and take their small amount of money because you already made a special trip.
