    Default Ripped off?

    I traded in my games at Gametraders

    Transformers PS2
    Tomb Raider anniversary PS2

    $8

    Xbox 360
    Saints row 2
    Mass effect
    Bioshock
    Bioshock 2
    Fear 2
    GTA IV
    Forza 3
    Transformers DOTM

    $42

    In total it was $50 for all 360 and PS2 games. Do you think I should have gotten more from them for all those games? I got more for PS1 games!

    What's really bad is they are now going to sell them at only $10 below retail as pre-owned and every sent of that will be profit for them.

    your better off selling it on ebay at least if you put in an expected amount of say $15 each and they sell you'd end up with more than just $50 for the lot.

    Eb suck for the trading option. A mate of mine bought Battlefield 3, finished it in two weeks and took it back and got, wait for it, $32!! WTF?! I bet they will sell it as a second hand copy for like $80-90 as well. I baulk at some of their secondhand prices.

    Sell your games on ebay. It's just better that way.

    EB Trade-ins are only worth it if you are putting it towards a preorder. they tend to give a lot more per game and even more if you are a member.

    hell the worst place to trade in is still Cash converters ;P

    I've seen new copies of most of those games for sale for $15 or less. So if you got $8 for them that sounds about right. Retailers don't really want copies of Forza 3 now that Forza 4 is out.
