Any street stores left that buy used PC games?
I went to EBgames yesterday to sell some PC games (Warcraft III Collector's Edition, Age Of Mythology Collector's Edition, expansion packs for both) and the employee there said that since they merged with GameStop and their policy was to not buy PC games, so was theirs. He suggested eBay, but I don't know if I want to go through that hassle with the little I would get for 'em, I just wanted some quick, easy cash.
So... any other street store ideas? Or am I stuck with eBay? I guess PC gaming really has gone downhill.

Not sure if there are any locations near you, but Half Price Books buys PC games.
From their FAQ:
Q: Do your stores sell used software?
We only buy used video games and educational and children's software. We like to have the complete packaging, and as with everything else, some formats and titles sell better than others. Due to a number of software industry changes, including product activations and license agreements, we don't feel that we are able to satisfactorily guarantee used higher-end software products like office applications and operating systems, so we no longer buy them unless they're still sealed.
