I know this question has probably been asked about a hundred times before, but how much would I get if I traded in my white DS Lite at Gamestop? I've owned it for less than a year, and, aside from a few microscopic scratches on the touch screen, it's in perfect condition. I would also trade in my DS charger, and the extra sylus all DS' come with.

I work at gamestop and I'll tell you right now don't trade yourDS at gamestop. You can get so much more $ selling it on ebay or craigslist. Our trade in values suck.

I was told about 50 dollars, at least where I live. They did the special trade-in for the DSi, which bumped it up to 70. but I doubt that it's still going on.

Just check out GameStop.com. That's much more simple and the might have specials on trading in the DS. (EIPadilla is right though. I used to work at GameStop and I would check out what you could sell it for on Ebay or Amazon first).

Sell it to GameStop only if your other option is death.

Your first step should be to call the store. After you get your answer, you'll figure out that the 2nd step is to put the sucker on Ebay.

I think it is funny how people think $70.00 for a DS Lite is a rip-off. LOL. Look I traded in my DS Lite and took the $70 and put it toward my new DSi. The DS Lite only cost $130.00 brand new so I think by giving $70 for it is very fair. It is over HALF the full price.......and come April 5th when the DSi is released it will really start to fall off because who is gonna want to buy a DS Lite when they can have a DSi?

$70 is only with a bonus when traded towards a DSi. You're normally only going to get $50 for the lite. It's up to you though, selling it used for $100 easily online or giving it to me at gamestop for $50. If you like getting ripped off that's your own prerogative.

They obviously don't pay enough for loyalty.

Businesses only interested in profit margins are prone to this problem.

I know that Gamestop seriously rips you off. (Who doesn't?) But I don't know how to use Ebay, so Gamestop is my only option...:(

They don't pay me nearly enough to care the discount is crap.The only reason I'm sticking around is so I have health insurance until I leave for the military in a few months.
