Hi Ya'll! :wve:

I've Decided Chrimbo's A'Coming, And I Would'nt Mind Some Spare Cash To Splurge Out On The Family & Friends Gifts, So I Dug Out My Un-Needed Gaming Related Attire, Which I Plan To Sell At My Local GameStation (Or Possibly Another Game Store I Know That Buys In Stuff) This Week. But, Amoungst The Stuff Is Something I Can Gaurentee I'll Be Cheated On. I Own An Original Copy Of Final Fantasy VII, From The Release Year Of 97', All Three Disks In Great Condition, With The Original Instruction Manual...I Think It's Worth A Few, Better Than The Slobby Deal GS Will Offer, So, Should I Offer This Up To Ebay, Or, Go Ahead And See What GS Offer? I'll List Everything I'm Selling Below, Please Point Out Tid-Bids You Think I Should Not Part With Easily, And Chuck Onto Ebay, Please :wve:

Yeah, Thats The One I Mean :)

S'ok, But Thanks For Offering. I Just Thought, Is Anything There Really Not Worth Shoving Into GS At A Risk Of being 'Short-Changed' Money-Wise? :wve:

Thanks Anyway :hug:

Personally, I think that eBay is a better choice.

You always get ripped of when selling games to game stores.

I second skipping the game store. Ebay will get you a better deal on almost anything.

If you do go with e-bay, you will probably make a lot more money if you sell everything separately. If you bundle it all together, then people may not want everything in the bundle so they wouldn't be willing to spend as much as if you sold each thing to someone who really wanted it. One of my friends sold a bundle of games on e-bay (including one that I gave him for Christmas that he said he wanted but he didn't even win it :hea:). Long story short, he ended up getting a price for the bundle that wasn't even what he paid for the top five games (the bundle included somewhere around 30 or 40 games).

You could see what the game store is willing to pay you for each game, and then start the bidding there on e-bay. If something doesn't sell on e-bay, then you could always sell it back to the game store. :)

Ebay would be a better choice.

AFAIK, you always get a little less money in cash, than in a check, only for use within the shop. :)

If you want to sell stuff DONT sell it to stores as soon as you buy a game if you trade it in its worth half of what you paid use Ebay or summit ;)
