Busybird Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Okay, so DS2 wants a new Wii game (nothing new there...) except all the Christmas budget is used up (I'm organised this year!). I told him to sort through the drawer of games and leave out any he no longer played with. He handed over a collection of Game Boy, DS and one Wii game - about a dozen games in total. Any advice on where the best place to sell these is? (I don't ebay). Am I kidding myself that the older stuff might actually be worth anything? All but one of the games have original box, cartridge and instruction leaflet although I have binned the health and safety bumph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Your best bet might be to take them into a games shop. We have a couple near us that we (well, son) uses - Mr Chips and something like Connections. They will usually give a reasonable price for them (providing they are not scratched!) and you might be able to get the game he wants second hand as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 There are quite a few game shops around that do part exchange deals, but you won't get much. Ebay is by far the best option, we just sold a DS game for virtually what we paid for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebay is by far the best option, we just sold a DS game for virtually what we paid for it thats what I would say too, unless you want to part exchange for new games the price the shop will give you will be quite low, better than nothing though! Be cautious if you decide to car boot them, people will pinch the game and leave the case as I found out to the tune of three lost games at a car boot sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 You could try Amazon or there is a CEX in Swindon that will probably take them. You get more for them if you exchange for another game (?Wii game) rather than just get the straight cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raina Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I'm always buying & selling Games I normally sell them either on eBay or game Shops Most places won't buy the gameboy games/or you'll only get £1 or £2 for them? Hope i've helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furryelephant Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Do you have a free ads paper like "Loot"? You could pop an ad in there or on a local notice board in a shop or local magazine? As the others have said the alternative is Part-Ex in Game or suchlike.. but to honest, they'll give you hardly anything for them unless you chip them in as part-payment towards a new game. Sorry, can't really help any further Paula Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 That was the name I was trying to remember - CEX, not Connections Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busybird Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 Useful info there - thank you all. There is a small Games Exchange in our local town - I will try to pop in and see if they have anything DS2 would like. Last time he went in they had no Wii games I would imagine a city would have a better selection but OH isn't keen on carrying all the boxes into work on his bike and trawling round Bristol in his lunch hour We get no free papers delivered to our village and I know of no exchange schemes locally that I could advertise on for free.

PurpleTree Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Are you on your local netmums? http://www.netmums.com/home/home/ They have a Nearly New board, you might be able to sell them on there. I've bought Christmas pressies for the boys on here in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggy Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 google music magic, they seem to be OK if you have a whole collection to get rid of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
