Smyths Trade in

Mitch Connor

Anyone know what Smyths are like for trading in consoles/games.

Looking to get shot of the PS3, a load of (mostly older) games and probably some 360 games too - with the next gen titles a few weeks away.

Is there much point in lugging the stuff in to Smyths? Would I need all the manuals for the games? Would I need the original box for the console?

I worked in Smyths a few years ago. Not sure if it's still the same but they do not take consoles as trade-ins.

They will not take came without the original box and manual.

Expect to get very little in return for your games. Probably on average 4-8 euro for a game, all depends on the game.

Gamestop use to take consoles as trade-ins.

Was there for release of gta five and got good value on trade ins. Much better than gamestop imo. Didn't check on consoles

Gamestop are severely limiting PS3 trade in these days. Nothing below a slim.

Traded in GTA V, GTA IV and Red dead redemption (GOTY) at CEX on Monday, got €40, €11 and €11 for them. All xbox versions. Might be your best bet for any recent games you may have

Go to cex on liffey street. No one else compares for trade in prices.
