Where's the best place to sell used games? I usually use Goozex but I'm interested in buying new games with credit I get from the trade in.

    If you don't mind the stress, eBay will give you the best bang for your buck.
    Half.com and Amazon Marketplace are great if you don't want auction-style. You generally get fair prices (Amazon tends to fetch a slightly higher price, but Amazon takes a higher cut out of your earnings). You might be waiting months for a less popular game to sell (although they do usually sell eventually if you price them fairly), but I've had in-demand games sell within a day of being posted.

    Our Gamestop has stopped sucking since a CEX opened next door and they offered a crap ton more than Gamestop ever did.

    I heard TRU and Best Buy are both in the used games market now, true?

    Wal-mart too, apparently. And I saw something about Amazon. Craziness. Regardless, you will get more money for your game by cutting out the middleman.

    I'd say at least look at your local ads for GameStop since as far as I've noticed they do game trade in specials often, though they are generally limited to stuff like "Get $X bonus on a Wii game when you trade in Wii games" or something like that.

    Depending on the game you're more likely to get more selling it online via eBay or Amazon or some such.

    Also, blockbuster does this too but I think you will get pretty little from them.

    Try posting on your local Kijiji and Craigslist. I have sold a lot of shit over that over the past couple months, including my Wii, all the games, accessories, my DS, my macbook pro... all for extremely great prices. My Wii sold for what one would cost new.. believe it or not.

    It's absolutely free.

    For larger ticket items, I recommend meeting the buyer somewhere, like a mall food court. Never meet them anywhere alone.

    I sell most of my games on craigslist, then ebay if I can't sell something. Usually that combination does the trick.

    http://www.chasethechuckwagon.com comes recommended by Nintendo Age, but I've not personally used them. They do have much, much lower fees than ebay. They mainly deal in older classic games, but there are a few newer ones on there as well.

    FYI: Gamestop's doing an extra $10 for every 3 games you trade in until the end of June and there's a Buy 2 Get 1 Free sale starting Thursday night/Friday morning.

    Walmart is, but Best Buy is not, unless I roll into work today and find some new kiosk, which has happened before.

    Ether way, I'm usually a Gamestop man, they don't give you shit for anything, but I'm impatient and they're down the street from me, and will give me SOMETHING for anything I have. Plus if they have a special you actually do okay. I actually just got 10 bucks for a used copy of Fear that I bought for 13.
