There is a hollywood video by me with a huge game selection that gives fair price for most games.  If it's older, don't bother selling it, but if you are selling a game w/in 6 months of release they'll givey ou $15-$30 for it, depending on what they have in stock.

More importantly though, they'll turn around and sell it for... $25-$45, so the markup isn't so frustrating.  Also have a 90 day no questions return policy on used games, and if you have their membership card they give you like 10 free CD buffs a year.  Sounds stupid but it saved a few old games I thought were dead.

I have a friend that uses Hollywood Video and he swears by it. I am still an ebayer at heart, so that probably won't change unless something goes horribly wrong, but Gamestop is not the way to go when selling games- can be 'okay' if you are buying older games...

I've used ebay/amazon for older games and that was good.  I got a N64 and about 10 (good) games for under $100.

I'm an impulse buyer, so it's hard for me to shop online.  I'll typically decide I want a game and immediately drive out to buy it.

its not. but i do it because its easier and the fact that im traded in the games i dont want either for just 1  or maybe 2 i want is better to free up space on the shelf or what have you so thats why i do it.
