I say you drop them all on the counter at GameStop. I don't see why anyone would care that you bought them new - it just makes the games a lot more saleable than the cruddy scratched up stuff they're used to. You're crazy if you put each one up on eBay - you'll be worrying about transactions and payments and shipments for something like a $2 or $3 turnover.

After my evening class I went over to EB with a few select games just to see what they would give me. The total for those came out to $32. I know the guy there and told I'm going to run to GameStop and see what I would get from them. He said he would do the same in my position. It's nice to have them only a 2 minute drive apart.

I handed the same games over to the GameStop clerk and asked how much I would get for them. The total comes out to $26. "Hmmm...I'm going to run over to EB and see how much I would get over there," I said. He then replied, "Honestly, you're not going as much over there. Their corporation sucks balls blah blah I recommend you trade your games in here."

Back at EB I only got to trade-in about half my games, they wouldn't take the multiple copies. In return, I got a gift card for $71.

I have to stop by other EB's to get rid of the rest.

Cool. I just took advantage of this deal. Picked up Razor, Midnight Club (GBA), Star Wars, and that Sports Illustrated game for $16 total. I'm looking to get about $30 in trade-in.

Here's what you'll get. (Minus Star Wars)

Razor $10

Midnight $7
Sports kids $5

That's already a $6 profit. Nothing breath-taking, but every penny counts in gaming.

I added up my games together for a total of $137, a profit of $42.

Not too shabby. I think I'll hit up some more K-mart's around here.

So, no go for Star Wars? Dang. Ah well, $6 is $6. I might try taking them to some local joints to see what I can get. Thanks for the trade-in info.

Go ahead and trade-in Star Wars. I didn't have the game so I couldn't tell you its value.

I forgot that you didn't get SW. Sorry bout that. I'm looking to put something towards Animal Crossing, I've already got $15 in gift certificates at EB, so this, plus the gcs, should knock a nice chunk off the price.
