Any Stores / Websites Buy Old / Used PC games?

[Klogg]

Any Stores / Chains of Stores that buy Old Used PC Games? Like how GameStop buys console games?
Either B&M Stores or even Internet Store would be fine As long as they give enough to make it worth Shipping.

Why not see if you get any bites at FS/Trade here?

I know Electronics Boutique does that, but I dunno if they're only East Coast. If there's one nearby, I hear they pay pretty good for 'em (I've never done so, I can't attest to this).

see if there's a Half Price Books in your area, they do that.

We used to have Electronics Boutique and Funcoland, but they were bought out by GameStop. GameStop buys and sells used/new games and systems.

edit: lemme know if you're selling PS1 or DC games

Are you sure?! I have asked previosuly at both EB and Funcolnad and I was told that neither store buys PC games for the simple reason that it is very easy to produce a pirated copy of PC game, unlike console cartridges and DVD based games.

I do see some Used PC games at EB somtimes.
Was hoping for a Big Used Store though that would be interested in games older then 6 months =p
Half price books someone said? Ill have to look into that.

EB doesn't actually buy them. They give you store credit for them. And they do take PC games, I just traded a bunch in a couple weeks ago.

But in my experience they pay almost squat no matter what title

True. The only thing I ever got money for was Final Fantasy Tactics, before it went on the greatest hits list... gave me like $25 or so for it... resold it for like $40.

Called up EB they said they only Take PC games that have been published within 12 months =/
