One hell of a deal at Kmart

Hmm... good question. Keep it on unless they ask you to remove it.

Do you think they might find it strange for someone to come in and trade-in multiples brand new copies of the same game, and then some?

[Jay]

Well, you could spread out your trading over a few days. Lessen their suspiscion. They will probably find it odd that you have multiple copies of one game, but I doubt they can refuse a trade-in for that reason.

What would they be suspicious of? There's nothing illegal about selling them a game you bought.

Perhaps they might think that these games were "stolen." Even so, they can't prove that. Now that I think about it, they have never asked anyone where they got their stuff from to begin with, and if they do, well, I ran into a good deal, that's all.

They might even benefit from me a bit, they can sell the games back as brand new titles.

Shin, since you keep mentioning the prices that Gamestop SELLS them for with this kinda "MUHAHA I'm gonna make a killing" overtone... you do know not to expect anywhere near that, the money you get for a trade-in is usually less than half the price they sell it for. You'll make a little money from what you paid, but not a whole lot.

And last time I checked, Gamestop never sells used GB/GBA games with the box or instructions. You may as well just trade in the carts themselves, since that's all they'll keep. Use the boxes to build yourself a little fort or something.

I know about it, I trade-in old games every now and then. I'm not expecting a huge fortune out of it, but I know it will be a nice little profit. For example, a preowned Razor Freestyle Scooter sells for $17.99, when I trade it in, I should get around $5-7 for it.

I traded in a used Comix Zone awhile back and got $1 for it, the next day it was up for sale for $5. That's for an old Genesis game.

I just remembered about Electronics Boutique, who would give me more credit?

Try to call around a bit. EBs tend to have a better trade-in to resale price ratio.

I've seen GB/GBA games occasionally with the instruction manual. Just because you don't see pre-owned GB/GBA games w/ manuals doesn't mean they don't sell them. The real reason is that nobody has the manual by the time they want to trade in their used games...

ummm lady sia is no wheres NEAR 44.99 for a used one i dont knwo where you got that price from

anyway the price of lady sia just dropped today to like 9.99 youll probably get 2 maybe 3 bucks for it
