Getting the Most for Your Used Video Games
Man, I wish I had known about this site when I put two used xbox 360 video games up on eBay a couple of weeks ago! It would have saved me a lot of hassle and I would have made the same amount of money or maybe more!
PlayerChain offers free sign up which enables you to browse around. Then, if you decide this is the site for you, you can purchase the membership that best suits you and you can start buying, selling or trading. They have a huge database which encompasses everything from the new Wii, XBox 360 and PS3 all the way back to SuperNintendo, PS1, and XBox. And they handle Nintendo DS games as well!
They offer current market value for your unwanted games, not just for the most popular. And if you have games at home that you are tired of, you can put them in your inventory. Others will come in looking for games they want to try. If you have one, then they will request it. You will send it to them (your only cost) and then when you let the websitek know you have sent the game, you receive credit (game bucks) on site. You then take your credit to request other games from other people. It is very cool! Play a new game, then send it on when you are done with it.
The part I think my 10 year old will like the best is the fact that he is always on the lookout for old pokemon games, but the local gaming stores don't often carry them. Since Player Chain doesn't physically have to store all of the products out there, more can be made available. And isn't the main reason you trade games in to your local gaming store so that you can get money to buy new games? So why not just trade? I can't wait to tell Jack about this site when he gets home from hiking!
