Game trading, standard pricing?

I bought a copy of wwe smackdown vs raw 2008 about a week ago in GAME for 25 euro, twas a god awful game and I decided to trade it in my local xtravision today. They offered me 18 euro. I took it because I wanted rid of the game.

If I had paid full price for that game I would have been well PO'd with that trade in price.

I have another couple of games lying around that I'm thinking of trading but I get a feeling it won't be worth my while.

So what I want to know is are there set prices for trading in games based on the games condition and which title it is you're trading?

As far as i know, it depends on how new a title is and how many copies they already have. Either way, most places (i'm looking at you Gamestop) absolutly rip people off. Giving €10-€15 quid and charging €5 off the retail price is an absolute disgrace. Xtra-Vision are alot better, but you should try Adverts.ie if your selling them.

Right, funny story.. As a bit of an experiment I went in to xtravision with five games this morning(Bully,Hitman Blood Money,James Bond Rogue Agent,Call of duty 2 and Conflict Desert Storm all for the PS2) to see how much I'd get.

For those five game they were willing to give me a grand total of...€29.

I laughed and walked out. I'd sooner smash them to bits than trade them in for that money.

stick em on ebay with no reserve and see how you get on.

Ebay or Adverts.ie are your best bets. The shops will completely rip you off with trade in prices.

When i was in canada there was a shop selling second hand Pc games.

[OFFTOPIC]I got HL2 and COD2 there for $20 CAD each. Buying HL second hand was a little bit of a mistake , i didn't know how it operated at the time but after an email or 2 to valve i got the Key reseted to my steam account.[/OFFTOPIC]

Pc games are obviously just far to easy to "backup" for trade ins!!
