*buzz* Wrong, they split up years ago.

Best Buy bought MP & the other Musicland Group stores (Sam Goody, Suncoast) and stripmined their profitable ideas, flooded them with beaurocracy and unneccessary expenses, redirected the businesses away from what worked best for them (remember when Sam Goody specialized in music, rather than being another jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none hole in the wall?), stole their main supply warehouse, then sold them and left them in the gutter about a year later.

I used to try my hand at pawn shops, now I know what the "pawn" part clearly stands for.

You're better off using ebay.

When I did this, they had a list of the games they would take. Some were okay in price but others were ridiculously low.

This was back in may 1995 ( I had just bought a Saturn), so Ebay didn't exist and I didn't have internet access at the time. I had actually tried to sell my Sega CD and games at Die Hard Gamer club, but they weren't giving the cash either. I sold my Sega CD for $15 to them though.

Selling shit on ebay is a pain in the ass.
I'd rather walk into a store with shit I don't want, and walk out with cash/new games.

I've got a bestbuy that does trade ins, I love it. I traded in an old ass VCR for $20, and a game that EB/GS would have given me $10 for, for $30

They've been doing it since like January.

And it was cold when I did it, that's all I remember.

God what jerk would value a sega cd for $15? That was mad expensive at the time and I would have gone ballistic if I had to sell for that.

Cool. I'll have to check if mine will take spawn armageddon off my hands.
