I have some old videogames I'm wanting to sell and was wonderng if you had any reccomendations. Should I just take them to a local gamestore, or do you think I would be able to get more money elsewhere?

While on the topic, is it against the law to use store credit to buy some stuff, then sell it unopened elsewhere? :3

edit: go thread title spelling mistakes

How old are we talking about here, NES old or old as in last gen? Also, it should be legal to buy games and then sell them again as long as your not selling them to random people on the street or in a store you own. Just to avoid hassle I would stick to selling the games to friends, on e-bay and to pawnshops though.

Well, I'd scratch the "sell it at a local game store" idea.. The only one around me these days is Gamestop and they have lowered the amount they give for games tremendously in the past couple years.. 
I signed up for this website (free) called Playswitch a while back.. I haven't used it, but it's pretty interesting.. Basically you post your game, and a price you want, or a game you'd trade for (I think) and see where it goes from there... That's about as far as my grasp on it goes, so you may want to read the rules lol..

Once you the game you can sell it to whomever you please.

Also, LOL at this horrible thread title.


Double also, have you ever heard of Gamestop?

Find a local gameshop (not necessarily video games).
They can probably link you up with somebody who's into retro games.
At any rate, if you put up a collection on ebay I'm sure somebody would snatch it up.
Just label it as being antique stereo equipment and I'm sure my dad would buy it reflexively.

craigslist so you can get raped and sell your video game at the same time.

I could put you down as the referrer if you let me know what your PS username is.

I'm assuming paralyzedmime?

They paid me in cash for an unopened PC game.
Not to mention the full price of the game including tax despite the fact that I lacked any reciept to speak of.
All you have to do is barter a bit, if you buy from them then they'll give you deals.
