hey guys,
just thought i'd make a forum so those with questions about EB games can have them answered.

i've got my own question to start with. with the trade-in they have at EB, can you trade in things like EYE toys?

fahey says:

yes you can trade anything really but most of the time they give you barely any store credit for it. i went too trade 3 xbox 360 games and 1 xbox game and they said 70 bucks.....that is 460 dollars worth of games for 70 bucks. off topic but anyway yes you can trade eyetoys for store credit

JB don't have trade deals, do you see 2nd hand games in JB? Ever?

With EBGames, you could also pay $10 to get an Edge Card (lasts for a year) and that gives you 10% more value when you trade and 10% less when you buy pre-owned games... I'd say it's a good deal if you trade a lot

i went gametraders fountain gate.. and my friend went to sell a game and it was wwe smackdown vs raw 2006 and he would only get about 12 dollars 50 cents it was new and he just bought it platinum

does anyone know why he would only get that much?

23 Jan 2007 - 19:25 Melbourne, Victoria

impakt55 says:

lol..thats the way trading games in works..they buy it for cheap then sell it for more

23 Jan 2007 - 19:28 [White PSP] - 3.51 M33-7 - Melbourne, Victoria

Shadowblade says:

and Platinum games don't trade in for much... That's always the case with EB & GameTraders... Also games that may not be Platinum, but had a Platinum version released trade in for the same price as Platinum, which means it's always better to sell your copy on Ebay

well dont u think that of like ripping u off

u should at least get 20-30 dollars

23 Jan 2007 - 19:33 Melbourne, Victoria

Shadowblade says:

Yeah I agree, but that's why I keep my good games that don't trade for much... even if I don't play them that much nemore

LiLfiLo says:

yeah ill never trade in my good games that i dont play much but i have lumines but i dont really play that and i dont really like it. it gets relly hard. i bought it for 15 dollars so it would be a good trade unless they give me really low money, about 6 dollars

how old do you have to be to trade in?

23 Jan 2007 - 19:49 Melbourne, Victoria

impakt55 says:

i think 16 or something....but just go with an adult

ebguy says:

You need to be 18 to trade with any second hand dealer in Australia (thems the laws) and the reason trade prices are so low at EB is because people dont want to pay more when they buy them off EB so they offer smaller trade value so that they can sell for less. And you also get a free edge card when buying a pre-owned console too.

JediKnight says:

You work there or something mate?

- Yeh they offer me those edge cards everytime

23 Jan 2007 - 20:32 Melbourne

ebguy says:

Yeah, but I'm not here to advertise or get EB any attention, but I am willing to answer general questions. Mostly I'm just here because I find this to be one of the better PSP sites.
