I buy my games to play, not to resell. Though some games have been in my backlog so long that they're almost worth too much to open now.
GTimgur
If you were just gonna resell it, why not rent.
CitizenPrime
Ebay works and prices are fair for old games
NateintheNorth
Shoulda played Nintendo. Resale is solid. Still basically 50% or more of retail on used Pokémon games
flufflogic
I'd like to apologise to whatever poor soul pays £90 for my busted 1050ti.
VodkaReindeer
Are old games as unpopular as old books?
Magus25
I still remember the one time I tried trading in a few games for credit. They offered me 5 bucks for 3 current gen games. Walked right out.
CatatonicCowMoo
I'll give ya 50p
malakim
$17 in store credit only.
dripstone
how much will you give me for my copy of Battle Toads?

Considering how many 75% discounts the game gives, spending 10$ a month means you'll have more than enough platinum.
Foxhack
Late comment but I'm going to have to dump my entire console game collection and about half my DVDs in the next six months. I hate it.
Foxhack
I need to move out of the country. I have too much stuff. And people here won't buy anything. I hate it.
Imadethisaccounttopost
Yep, I honestly don't know who or what to trust anymore. Gaming Hobby Stores, Game Stop or eBay, all have a way to fuck you over.
nekuth
Never sold a game on, even though I've not played them in years. Still got my Dawn of War Anthology box.....but then bought it digitally....
Schlagerfuzzi
..if you trade in a ps5
Drakhma
I assume CEX is like gamestop? I most KEEP what I buy, but i want to re sell anything i just put it on Ebay. much easier. and i get money.
Klaustrix
Imagine if gamestop also bought and re-sold phones, laptops, ipads, and computer hardware.
FrankPembleton
another reason to stop buying physical copies
FrankTheThunderbird
I took in three boxes of books to a used bookstore and they offered me $5 for them.
OverMyDadBody
It's worth more even as kindle
LordHosk
After paying a employee to sort, stock, then sell them, after 10 year when they've sell 10 of your books for $3 each they break even
BloodyStupidJohnson
Why do those shops always smell like Satan's armpit, and Greggs?
LordHosk
The people who bring their games in and shop their smell like Satan's Armpit and Greggs.
troyandabedpostoniiiiimgur
Most of them are next door to a Greggs
Baeloro
Stll more than gamestop offeres.
LordHosk
Gamer "I paid $5000 for these!" Store "We are probably going to sell 2-3 of these, for $10-15, the rest will sit on a self for 8 years"
LordHosk
Gamer: I can sell them on Ebay for $5 each! Store "go ahead and try man, good luck, you are going to spend 50 hours and sell 8-10 of them"
LordHosk
Gamer: THATS LIKE $50 bucks! Store: Yep, and 50 hours of your time, I have a store to run, I cant pay someone to ebay but you can good luck.
LordHosk
Gamer Cant you come up at all "you have 50 games from 2 generations ago, I can give you $1 cash or $2.50 store credit sorry, thats my offer"
squirreltactics
Fuck those Metroid Prime scalpers. I want a physical copy for when Nintendo inevitably shuts down the damn store.
squirreltactics
My old ass refuses to buy anything digital if I can help it. I still buys CDs...
ihacker2k
Uhmm CDs are still digital, but I get your point
squirreltactics
CDs are physical media, not digital. It may be digital sound, but that is a different subject that we are currently not discussing.
ihacker2k
Which is why I said I get your point ,that’s a lot of downvotes, I only buy vinyl?
squirreltactics
I buy both, I'd prefer it if vinyl came with DRM free mp3 download though. But I usually only reserve vinyl for favorite albums or if it is
idiotsonfire
Hahahaha, it'll have DRM on it that'll make it unplayable. There's less than a gig of data on most game physical media items.
squirreltactics
CDs don't have DRM. And if you're referring to Metroid Prime, what are you talking about it's a switch cartridge, of course it's DRM, I'm
idiotsonfire
Hey, I never said CD's have DRM, did I? No? Then why the hell did you bring it up? There's not a full game on those cartridges either.
squirreltactics
Not trying to play it on a PC.
Staddi
CDs don't have DRM? Sony had a scandal 2005 about that. HDCP is DRM for Blurays.
Foxhack
Audio CDs can have copy protection, even now. They stopped using DRM after that shit happened.
salunatics
I gave up on physical copies years ago. The resale cycle just wasn't worth it.
Jagerbeast
It was so much worse than digital resales
DaDudeAbides
Who currently does digital resales?
CitizenPrime
Nobody, it's a joke
LooseyGooseyBrett
I dont trust the digital. They cam take it away at any time
turbotricycle
Yeah. Exactly what is happening to the Wii U and 3DS in about a month.
7Rhymes
That's when I homebrew my console and get it back. Easier than the old days, don't even need a game to do it on PS4.
Ambrosyus
"You didn't buy it. You're renting it."
IKillButerflies
I own a Switch. Tried to play on a bus ride home from work and all my digital games wouldn't work. It had to have a net connection to verify
IKillButerflies
I actually owned them. Physical copies still have their place while DRM exists
BoogiepopPhantom
The Switch was likely not set as the game owners Primary console.
ENCHANTMEN
Yeah but like... It's supposed to be portable
BoogiepopPhantom
It is. Set it to Primary console, and no checks.
IKillButerflies
But that's very anti consumer. I have 2 Switches. One for me and one for my kids. I bought Wargroove digitally and BotW physical. If...
IKillButerflies
I want to play Wargroove on the bus, I'm SoL, purely because it's digital. But my physical copy of BotW can play on any Switch, even ones I
IKillButerflies
Don't own. That makes me justifiably angry. I own the copies. I own the consoles. Only the physical game cartridge is transferable
Roqinn
Resale? Keep them! Replay them decades from now!
DeathLemons
I recently moved my old 360 up to a get-a-way trailer on a like with almost no cell reception. Been playing all the hits.
DeathLemons
Session10
But decades from now there'll be emulators I can play them on and I won't have a compatible TV to connect the console to anyway.
verganas
You keep the tvs too!
HappyTimeHollis
eBay. A couple of months ago I sold some PS2 Mortal Kombat games and got more than I paid for them back in the day.
RickTheMarshallSelke
I would hope you got more than you paid back in the day. Inflation and all that.
HappyTimeHollis
Inflation gets wiped out by buying power though. $50 in 2005 bought more than $80 today.
