    I'd say the most you would get in a shop would be 10 euro for the 2 Try Adverts.ie

    You'll get very little for either game i'd say. Most shops have a million copies of both of these titles. You'd be better off selling them on Adverts or eBay.

    try gamestop they are doing a deal that you can trade in a game

    and get a selected new one for E2/5

    There used to be a game swapping thread here... it was handier than using adverts.ie. I've an arm length of games I've finished at this stage and would just like to swap for others I haven't played, because I'll get nothing on trade-ins.

    Catch is that the games have to be above a certain value. They have to be too fairly newish games you trade in, because they are newish, they'll sell both for €35 or €40.

    Its make way more sense to swap games you've finished with others, rather than trading them in for next to nothing.

    I got offered 40 cent in Gamestop for PES2008 a few weeks after PES2009 was out. I seen PES2008 second hand for 13.99 on the way out. How much percentage profit is that?!?

    I've had similar situations with the Smackdown vs Raw games too.

    Trading in games = bad.
    Swapping games with others = good.

    I just traded Blue Dragon in for the €2/5 trade-in. This was after I was told they would give me €1 store credit on the game. It can be worth it.
