I want to trade in MW2, GRAW 2, and Far Cry 2.

I want to buy used copies of the Xbox 360 version of CoD 4, Gears of War, Gears of War 2, and NCAA Football '09.

Where can I get the most credit/money for my used games in proportion to the games I want to buy?

If i was you, i'd put in the time to list and sell on ebay, you'll end up with maybe 2 or 3 times what they'll offer in any store.

This. You could try selling it on Amazon as well.

Amazon had MW2 trade in as $24 and I was going to do that, but the next time I checked they had lowered it to $12. I looked at a website called goozex. Has anyone ever used that before?

This question is asked all the time, and the answer is always ebay or amazon if you are really looking to get the most for your games. If your in a pinch you could take it to a store but as aforementioned they will give you 2-3 times less what you could get for it online. If you see it listed around $24 one day and $12 the next thats not entirely uncommon game prices fluxuate like crazy sometimes pending on when new releases are coming up and things like that and if an older title has become a "classic" or not. Hope that helps.

HOW DARE YOU MENTION THAT MONEY-SUCKING STORE!

They hardly give you any money and then sell your games back for 50-75% more then they paid you for them.

roflcopters,.... roflmao,....

Seriously? No offense but uh, are you new or somethin?

Gamestop says "here ill give you a few quarters for that new triple A title you just purchased for about $60 bucks." Then they turn around and sell it for $54.99 of which non goes to the developers and the next customer to buy it used is only saving 5 or 6 bucks and taking the chance they might be getting a copy that looks like it went three five minute rounds with a rabid feline... So they are ripping you off, and the people who make the game all for their profit. Not my kinda business.

All of these guys are wrong. Ebay and Amazon both take a cut of your precious money, Gamestop is not even going to be considered an option.

It's ALL about craigslist baby! You'd get at least $35 cash for MW2 and at least $20 for the others. I don't know how far you live from a big city but that might make a difference in how it all shakes down. I tend to get SO SO SO much more from selling my games on craigslist than I do anywhere else. And I always just meet someone at a gas station or something and swap cash for game. Simple Simple. Just include a real picture of the game and the real disc, showing any flaws, be honest always and you're golden.

You can get a lot more by doing Craigslist and just get cash, but you also deal with some risks. I would try Craigslist maybe or you could do Ebay/Amazon or Gamestop. Gamestop has some power trades and other things that you can get the same amount for your games as those online sites. Also, Gamestop has used games at great prices. Use the website to order games and get coupon codes from Retailmenot.,com to get discounts off your games. Code SAVER for free shipping.

I would try either craiglist or ebay, craigslist might be a little faster. I just bought a brand new Halo Reach console on there for 200 minus the game. Craiglist for the freaking WIN!

The only places I've ever traded in games to have been Gamestop and Play N Trade. I don't know which one has the better trade-in rate. They seem to have about equal prices for used games, so I assume they're about equal for trade-in values.
