Poll: do you trade in games??

[Seydaman]

do you trade in games? personally i stopped years ago, i find that one time or another i will suddenly want to play a game i loved a long time ago. that and i feel that i lose more than i gain

 

[clarinetJWD]

Nope, I'm a PC gamer, and it's damn near impossible to find somewhere to trade in PC games. My only console is the Wii, but all my games for that are ones I'd want for years (Mario, Metroid, Zelda) or good party games, so I'm not looking to trade those either.

I trade in games on occasion (i.e. if it sucks and is for a console), but not often.

also, you don't have to vote to see results.

I usually trade in games if I feel that it's a game that I won't miss. Nowadays I don't do much trade-ins, though, thanks to Gamefly.

i know but its faster than reading comments, then again im lazy. and my hand hurts from test taking

I do all the time. If I don't like a game or I beat it I usually take it in. As long as it is worth it.

Yes, I trade in a fair few games. Mainly because I am a student and live off magic money that doesn't exsist.
Normally I'll buy a game, beat it as soon as I can and unless its one I really enjoyed so much I can't part with it I'll take it back the next day!

I think he was talking about the "View Results" link, not reading comments.

No because you never get a fair deal for them.

 

[Bowstring]

Nuu. I'm far too sentimental about these things. I can't let my games go.

I just recently started trading in games. I used to keep all of my games because in college I had the time to play and replay most of them, but recently I haven't had as much time to play games (60 hours of work a week + recently married) so I've had to be a lot more selective in my game choices. I usually sell back every game except for a select few that I really loved and am sure that to play again (Bioshock, etc.)

I sometimes trade in games but not often. I do regularly buy preowned games however, the price of some games is just too high. COD4 for example is still 35-40 quid new despite the fact its been out ages and now has a sequel. The way the videogame industry has been moaning about the second hand game market is despicable, it's plain greediness.

Despite my packrattedness, I have to completely agree here. It's unbelieveable that they see resale as such a big issue when it doesn't plague the other entertainment industries (music, movies). Despite all the moaning, the gaming industry is already bigger than them as well!

 

[fix-the-spade]

Nope, sell them on ebay.

Game stores give you a pittance on trade ins.

 

[Avida]

I have done in the past in breif moments of desperation but otherwise hell no, the price you get for them is daylight robbery every time.

 

[Cinder Block of Oppression]

Yep. Games that I never play anymore or older ones because it's a lot more hassle to have to sell it. Plus, Gametag gives me a big bonus because I'm a member there.

 

[cleverlymadeup]

i only trade in games if they suck

hardly ever do

 

[Altorin]

I traded in all my xbox games and my xbox to get my 360.

I knew there was backwards compatibility, but I didn't have a choice if I wanted the system, and it was a small window of opertunity where I would have enough extra cash to get it.. so I got it.

In retrospect, losing the games is something I regret, but I don't regret getting the system.. just wish I could have managed to keep KOTOR1/2, Fable, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1/2 and Jade Empire.

 

[Baonec]

I have done in the past but now i just prefer to hoarde on the odd chance i may wish to play it.

 

[Ace of Spades]

I sell a lot of games after I get bored with them.
