Selling Back Video Games

I was just wondering if anyone actually does this? I see advertisments at EB and GS all the time for selling back used games but I don't know anyone who does. So, do any of you guys sell back your old games?

Every now and then, I sell a big-ass bunch of old games in bulk. Usually when I'm trying to be a new game at full price (which I rarely do).

However, if you don't have many games to sell, then there isn't much of a point. A game almost never yields more than $5 at EB...

I took back a whole load of games yesterday and got around £60 for them. It was nothing compared to how many games I took back, but at least it allowed me to get 2 new games.

5 bucks! Is that really all you get? EB can be some cheap bastards though. Their used games are always priced too high.

Gamecrazy is the way to go.

Sometimes you'll get full refund!

I can't sell my possessions.
I just can't bring myself to do it.

I'm a hoarder. For some reason I like to hold onto my games. Even if they suck. I still keep them. Plus I don't have many anyways, so there's not really much use.
