How much should I expect to get by selling these old games?

    Killzone 2
    Resistance 2
    inFAMOUS
    Oblivion
    Mercenaries 2
    Burnout Paradise

    These are either old games I no longer play, or games I got from relatives that I don't like (Mercs 2).

    Not much. Maybe €60 - €75 for the lot.

    That seems alright, not much, but it seems worth it, I'll see what GAME and GameStop will offer for them ASAP.

    i think you would be lucky to get €40 for the lot tbh, its not really worth trading in games that old ye get ripped off big time


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,928 ✭✭✭VenomIreland


    I know I will get "ripped off", but they are pretty wortheless to me right now, I'll see what I get for each game.

    Stick em onto adverts,€10 a game would be worthwhile

    I would say if you sold them on adverts you may get
    10
    10
    10
    5
    5
    10

    50 euro max and you would be lucky to get that.

    Ill take Burnout and inFamous off you if you like, put em on adverts or pm me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,000 ✭✭✭✭noodler


    Yah most are platinums and can get got for 20€ or less online brand new.

    Selling them to people on adverts is defo the way to go.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,605 ✭✭✭Fizman


    HMV gave me €10.50 for KillZone 2 and €6 for Burnout when I traded both in against a game last Friday.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,928 ✭✭✭VenomIreland


    I would like to state I will not be selling them on Adverts, I don't feel all too comfortable with meeting up with a stranger to sell something, and I don't plan on posting them either, sorry.

    Adverts is bent anyway, full of freaks who never buy anything but completely **** up sales by offering 1/3rd of the asking price at the start of the sale.

    I got killzone 2 for €10 new btw. Go to gamestop, they're decent.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,359 ✭✭✭antocann


    was in gamestop today , most of them pre owned was 8-10 euro so dunno if youl get much for them ,


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,277 ✭✭✭✭Rb


    I did some trades with Game today and got just over €60 for a few games including battlefield bad company and modern warfare 1.

    No one cares.

    If you can find games you're interested at GAME, then I would go to HMV and get a quote on credit/cash (they tend to give some of the best credit, but they usually have some of the higher prices on games) and then go to GAME where they will give you €1 on top of that.

    I second that :D.

    To the OP, you've been given the rough prices, best thing to do now is, y'know, trade 'em in?

    Laugh-out-loud. GAmestop decent? Pfft. They're far from it. The most the op will get for his games there is maybe 6 quid and then they'll sell on for three or four times that. Killzone2's over 20quid there. I got the steelbook in Blockbuster in England for a fiver.

    Yeah avoid gamestop like the plague!! Xtravision done me well before, offered me over twice gamestops quote.

    Keep it civil.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,578 ✭✭✭WarZoneBrother


    Go to Gamestop and trade them in and get either some of the 2euro or 5euro games and then a few days later trade them in and I guarantee you will get more than you would by trading them in..

    I just sold Orange Box on Adverts.ie for a tener which is a few quid more than the shops would've givenn trade in.

    Not much. Maybe €60 - €75 for the lot.

    Not a hope you'd get that much - unless you sold them via Adverts or the Buy and Sell. If you plan on trading them in at a store, you'd get around €20 or €25 max.

    So you want to know how much you will get selling those games ? But you wont meet any strangers or post the games !!

    Unless your going to sell them to your friends then i cant see how you will get anything for them.
