2/11    What's the best way to sell used video games.  Most fairly recent.
        I'm never going to play these again and they are worth quite a bit.
        GameStop is a ripoff.  Ebay is a pain in the ass.  Craigslist is
        totally hit and miss.  There has to be an easy way to unload these
        suckers.
        \_ You can have ease or a good price. Pick one.
           \_ I'm willing to sacrifice some price for ease.  I just was
              wondering if there is a good middle ground I'm missing.
              \_ List them here on soda. You might get lucky.
                 \_ A good idea.  Looking at the few replies below, there
                    may be a small but concentrated/local market here.
           \_ agreed.  There are sites like http://cheapassgamer.com where people
              trade games, but that's not really all that different from
              ebay or CL.  If I really didn't want to sell each game for
              less than a buck, I'd try CL first.  If you buy a lot of
              games, some say the pay-for club thing at gamestop/ebgames
              actually helps.  You can also try to wait for specials where
              they give you more trade-in value if you use it towards a
              preorder.  I originally meant to do CL, but eventually gave
              up on the idea that I'd follow through with it and went the
              ebgames route.
        \_ Some other games stores will buy them. There is a good one
           near me (LA area) called Enteract. There might be one in your
           area. Otherwise, realize that GameStop is paying you less
           because they are less of a PITA than the alternatives and just
           deal with them.
        \_ I recently used http://half.com. Sold my Assasin's Creed for PS3 for
           $35 there. I called GameStop before that and they said they
           would have only given me $18 for it.
        \_ I've sold most of my games using Amazon. It is fairly easy and
           you should be able to get a decent price, esp. for new games.
        \_ I'll pay $15 for Dead Rising. -jrleek
        \_ Speaking of, does anyone wanna buy Forza 2 for the Xbox360?  I'd
           be willing to trade as well. -jrleek
           \_ That's a pack in title right now, so there are tons of copies
              floating around.  Anyone want to buy Mass Effect?  -aspo
              \_ Crud.  They still seem to be asking $40 for it at GameStop.
                 Maybe I can trade it for a copy of Dead Rising there. -jrleek
                 \_ You're a MARRIED MORMON with a full time job, why
                    are you playing computer games?
                    \_ 'Cos they're fun? Oh, wait, you were kidding.
                    \_ I know this is a troll, but I don't even get it.  What
                       are you talking about? -jrleek
                       \_ TV + video games = evil liberal influences. Just
                          look at all the drugs and violence and crazy
                          celebrities like Britney Spears. I thought
                          Mormons are against evil liberal influences.
                       \_ Doesn't procreating and having awesome through
                          me thou will live in The Most Glorious of Glories
                          with me for all eternity Mormon sex take up all of
                          your time?  How do you have time for video games?
              \_ Sorry, I don't think my wife would like me buying a game that
                 features virtual orgasmic rape.

Discuss No matter your stance on the war in Iraq, I think we can all agree that our soldiers have a very rough time over there. Therefore, I am very happy to bring to your attention the CAG "Donate Games to the Troops in Iraq" Campaign. CAG neushane, who is a member of the US Navy and is currently deployed in Fallujah, is spearheading the effort to collect your used (or new) games, and distribute them amongst his fellow troops. Welcome to the new CAG servers Posted by CheapyD - We are now up on our new servers, however, only two of the three are currently operational. By Monday, we should be at full capacity and have our normal URL. There will probably be some intermittent downtime while we make adjustments to server configurations. Yup, the CAG Forums are down Posted by CheapyD - Hang in there, we are moving to some new fancy shmancy servers and will hopefully be fully operational soon. may I be so bold as to suggest a lengthy advertising campaign right here on CAG? It's still unkown why US retailers do not yet have this bundle up for pre-order.

An enduring masterpiece written by Carson McCullers at age 23, The Heart is a Lonely Hunter explores isolation, compassion, and racism. Four outcasts struggling with loneliness in a Georgia mill town during the 1930's turn to John Singer, a mute, for solace and guidance. D12 World is a playground on which Detroit's Dirty Dozen performs lyrical gymnastics to the backdrop of fresh infectious beats. Their sophomore release features the breakout single "My Band". Gamers play as one of eight survivors of a deadly biological weapon attack. The split-second decisions gamers make influence the scenarios faced later in the game. This hard-core gaming experience can be shared either cooperatively or competitively online.
