Do you ever trade in your games to EBgames/Gamestop after you buy them?

I've thought about that.... but i'm probably better off keeping my game or selling it on the net.

I don't. I'm a collector and the instore credit they give for your game isn't even close to the game's true value. You'd be much better served selling the game yourself on eBay.

I think it all depends on of you ever think your going to play the game anymore and if your poor, like me :-), and need the extra cash for your next game then you should trde it in.

Selling online gets you more. I also never sold a game to them, I keep all mine.

I sell my games there. I want to get rid of my NFS Underground 2 for NDS. That game is mediocre.

I have traded in games to a videogame store but in hindsight selling them straight up somewhere would have been wiser; now i just collect games, that in some way intrigue me, the second I stop having interest i just throw them in my brother's room and let him play them.

i always trade games back into a place similar to EB games close to my house. Usually lose money by buying and such but when i dont like a game enough to keep it , easy to sell it for something else.

I never have before, but if I did I would take them to Gamestop seeing as it's the only one close to me.

they're right you shouldn'tif you're still going to sell them sell them to your friends that never played the game or wanted to play the game so then what they give you doesn't rip you offor you should just keep your games in case you want to play them again or let someone borrow it(if they don't mess up Cds)people tell me that i shouldn't do it because i'm losing money and i should start a collection

not usually, they give you bad money for the games. and sometimes you're better off just keeping them. unless its a REALLY bad game
