The worst game trade (or trade in) you ever made.

What's the worst game trade you ever made? Or worst trade in, worst value, worst swap, whatever.

I used to trade in all the time, stupid kid I was. So much stuff I'm annoyed about now. For starters, when I was much younger, 10 or 11 I think, I traded in pokemon ruby and a boxed copy of Zelda ALTTP on GBA for one of those ****ing terrible Yugioh GBA games.

I cant bring myself to ever part with a game. I have never thrown out a game. Just cant. I still have my original gambit and games, Sega gamegear and games, megadrive games, she's games, PC games. I've an entire room with shelves filled with games. Sad I know, but hey, it's a hobby.

Never traded in a game ever.

Kids have but I only let them trade in games I dont like so its not me.

When I was 15/16, my uncle's friend was a big guy at Sony, and gave me 2 bags with ~40 PS1 games.

I finished around 10 of them, played another 10, and after 2 good summers traded them into the now defunct game shop on Talbot Street (the small, cool one).

===
Another: I was amassing a PS2 collection, finding rare gems & buying them up for peanuts.
Recession hit & I lost my job. Had to sell them to make ends meet.

The worst was when I met up with a friend I hadn't seen in ages, a week later, who told me he was building his own PS2 collection. He would've paid me near double what I got in the shop

Nowt worse than selling games for rubbish reasons like needing cash.

Game Exchange?

Vanquish on the PS3
Ended up buying it again on x360
Great game that I initially never gave a chance

No, the one further up.
Beside Talbot Dance Centre, under the railway bridge.

It's long gone now.

not intentionally a trade.

When I was much much younger a friend borrowed my copy of Gunstar Heroes for a bit and while he was borrowing it he traded it with another friend for General Chaos.

Guess which one I got back and which one I never saw again.


original boxed copy of gunstar heroes one of the best games of the 16-bit era traded away without my permission.


Never forgave my friend for that.
