What do you do when you have 2 copies of a cheap game?

Post by CantStrafeRight »

While going through my collection Ive found multiple games that I own 2 or 3 copies of for the same console, but they are games that go for only pennies on ebay.

What do you guys do with multiple copes of games like this?

A.) Build a fort.

B.) Save them for when your friends start off collecting for the system.

Uh depends really. Keep for cases, if it is a disc game. I keep Nes,snes,64 carts that are in good condition, (and use the back of the case to replace a bad back) If it looks nice, Ill put it in a box. If it looks bad Ill trash it.

Yeah, I have a few doubles that are worthless. I hold onto them for trades only, as it wouldn't be worth selling for such little profit.

well, if they are totally destroyed, like no label and all scratched up, don't feel bad taking them apart and recycling the plastic cartridge casing.
If they are in good or decent condition, then just give them to some game store you like. i did that once with 5 copies of sonic 2 for gamegear. They havn't sold a single one of them :D

I just generally find ways to get rid of them. Give them to friends, pad a trade, etc.

1. Bunch them together and sell 'em on Craigslist as a cheap bundle. Ex. "Look! 10 Games For $5"

2. Find the system for cheap, then bundle the games with it to increase the price slightly. Even if they're mostly crap games, it still helps to list the system as having a bunch of games to go with it. Ex. "Super Nintendo & 10 Games For $40!" You may not make much out of the deal. But you still got rid of your games and scored a few extra dollars in the process. And obviously, the better deal you can find on the SNES the better you will do on the sale.
