Trade-In at EB-Games: Help Needed.
 

Here's the deal. I want to buy Destroy All Humans for PS2, a $50 game. Since I don't have the cash now, I want to trade in some of the PS2 games that I never play. How much do you think I can get from them? Here's what I want to trade-in.

PS2

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2
The Getaway
True Crimes: Streets of L.A.
DRIV3R
The Simpsons: Road Rage
Gran Turismo 3
Grand Theft Auto: Double Pack
Socum II: U.S. Navy Seals
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty

Thanks for your help.

I doubt that they would give you more than $2 for any of those games.

Why don't you, *gasp*, call or go in?
Keep in mind, you will get less then $20 for all of those

That sucks. Would GameRush or Gamestop give more? I was planning to go to them today but I wanted some more advice.

No. Try eBay or half.com if you want to maximize how much you get.

Destroy All Humans is on sale next week at Best Buy for $39.99 I believe. If you eBay'ed those games, you should get enough to buy it.

Half.com is the easiest way to sell stuff with that kind of value. I sell many games and DVDs on there.

Here's GameRush's trade quote:


Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 - $8.00
The Getaway - $1.50
True Crimes: Streets of L.A. - $3.00
DRIV3R - $5.00
The Simpsons: Road Rage - forgot to check
Gran Turismo 3 - $1.50
Grand Theft Auto: Double Pack - $12.25
Socum II: U.S. Navy Seals - $5.00
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty - $1.50

So that's $37.75 plus the Simpsons, should put you over $40 at GameRush.

Relax its not like he called your house or anything :lol:.

Gamerush and FYE (if you have one around) generally are regarded as having the best trade-in values.

Make sure FYE has the game, though. Their selection is wanting. I have like $28 in store credit but no games I wanted to get from them, I found like 0 RPGs.

You can get a general idea of the FYE tradein value at their website (same company) -

Prices should be pretty close. Click on "sell" up the the upper right.

I usually get better trade ins at Gamestop. If you have a the recent copy of GameInformer there is a coupon for 40% additional trade-in credit (50% if you have their value card) when you trade in more than 4 games.

I went in yesterday without the coupon and just asked the associate about it. She said that I could get the magazine and value card for free. I don't know why it was free so your mileage may vary on this one. I ended up getting $130 in credits after trading in some recent games.

D.

Thanks a lot DealMan for the quotes.

Can GameRush give cash instead of credit?

No only credit. But Gamerush is the best way to go.

Also, at gamerush, they're offering the trade 2, get 1 pre-order for $29.99. You may be able to get one of the BBV employees to hook you up with Destroy All Humans instead of a pre-order (and you'd still have some cash left over)

Since you trade-in 9 games at GR! You can Pre-order up to 4 games for $30 each (choose your titles wisely) or Pr-order 3 games and pickup Destroy all Human for $30.

Games for pre-order $39.99 - $49.99

Kingdom Hearts 2
Dragon Quest 8
Final Fantasy XII
Radianta Stories
Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monk
Shining Force Neo
Devil Kings
Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams
Prince of Persia 3

Okami
Genji: Dawn of the Samurai
Romancing Saga: Mistrel Song

Ebay them man....you will make so much more money. Most people charge 5 bucks to ship...so that will give you some profit on top of what you get from the auction.

Can you tell me what's on the cover of this GameInformer mag? Thanks!

It was the issue with GUN on the cover. That coupon expired 7/31, so it's a moot point.
