Now I know we have adverts.ie for selling and stuff! The thing is though I don't think alot of people that post here in this forum actually go onto adverts! I traded in alot of games the other day to xtravision(who don't do credit anymore) and got some more games.. I had these up on adverts for over a week and only sold one game.. While thats all well and good I was thinking though maybe we could setup something here for swapping(not selling/buying) games with eachother!?

We could make a sticky and people would post in there if they were finished with a game(s) and wanted to trade them for other game(s) Other people would make offers like 2 old games for a new title or new game for new game etc etc..

Obviously would have to have some rules like you can only trade if you have over 100 posts or if you know someone who has over a 100 posts and can vouch for you. A friend maybe!

If your in the same county you can meet up, if not you can post to each other at your own expenses.. about 2 - 3 euro a game!

Thats the basic idea!? I don't know I reckon it could work! I have resi 5 here now and im just about done with it and I could either trade it into extravision or trade it withsome for a game im looking for..

Think this is a fantastic idea. Thought of setting up something similar myself but refrained due to the existence of adverts.ie and was afraid i'd be sent there. In truth, i never just 'browse' adverts, i only go there if i'm looking for something particular.

Yeah I went in and asked could I trade these in for credit and he just said we dont do that anymore.. you have to like trade it in against something in the shop.

I'm very interested in getting my hands on any of the 'easy' achievement games I don't have, and would love to swap some I have for them now I've 1000'd them.

All you have to do is when they tell you the amount of trade up value you'll get ask them to stick it onto a gift card.

I think he may be referring to getting cash for the games.

Also I'm working on a site for swapping games at the moment. I'll keep ye updated!

Kenny_D · 21-03-2009, 11:38

Great idea daz. Games shops always screw ya for trade ins. This would be a much better way to trade games

keen · 21-03-2009, 20:46

Great idea.

Have three old games that I'd like to swap for anything at all.

Saints Row 1
PGR 3
PES 2008

Well ya can still get cash.

AFAIK you can trade your games in at Game if you have a game card. They'll put the credit onto your card, which I think is great, especially if you're waiting for a new game/console/accessory.

I've 70e on my game card. I intend on having enough to buy the next xbox gen when it's released!!

Hey guys,

Actually, on that I have EA sports Rugby 2007 (for the old Xbox unfortunately, dont think its backwards compatible), free to a good home.

Brimmy · 22-03-2009, 13:20
