Trading In for a nice haul appreciation

[PGchris]

Dont you love getting rid of your doubles/games you dont play anymore and actually getting something out of it

This all started when I spotted a nice condition n64 at a thrift store for $10 bucks and decided I would flip it with all the crappy games I was getting ready to exchange at my local gaming store. I ended up trading

n64:
-console
-goldeneye
-pokemon snap
-waverace
-mario kart

snes:
-super mario world
-5 or 6 sports games

genesis:
-bubsy
-aladin
-revolution x
-sub terrainia(so happy to have this game out of my life)

dreamcast:
-crazy taxi
-nfl, nhl and nba 2k2

ps2:
-amplitude(probably the best game i sold)
-tony hawk underground 1 and 2
-devil may cry

all for

ps2:(all complete)
-Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner
-Resident Evil 4
-Kingdom Hearts
-Neo Contra
-FF7 Dirge of Cerberus
-Fire Pro Wrestling Returns
-Herdy Gerdy
-Grand Theft Auto 3(which I've never played)
-Gran Tourismo 3(which I've also never played...any of the series)
-and a couple old madden games just for good condition boxes

Xbox:
-Painkiller: Hell Wars
-Shenmue 2
-Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laurde(kind of feel like a skeez for buying this but I love adventure games and never played the series)
-Doom 3

awesome! where did you trade em? I've been looking for a place to trade some doubles.... but it seems not a lot of places trade old games.

seriously- great haul.

No one gives good money for retro stuff in RI. The only place to sell is craigslist and here "I don't use ebay". I have to say, you cleaned up man.

Thats a great idea actually. Wish I had the money / time to get on that train.

I go to a small chain called cd game exchange it was perfect timing too cause I got 20% off for a memorial day weekend sale

Was that the one at college park? Silver Spring has herdy gerdy for $10, which seems a little bit steep. The only problem with cd/game pricing is that games are usually priced $2.50 (red sticker), $5.00, and then $10 (then all the higher priced games), so there are a lot of games that I'd pay $5 for maybe $7.50 because I'd be using store credit, but $10 is too much if I know I get get it online with shipping for less.
