Here at PlayNTrade Garner, trades are our lifeblood. We love video games!. You’ve got old games, and we want ‘em so we can find them good homes. Here’s the general breakdown of how we do it.
Of course this is by no means a binding quote and we reserve the right to deny any trades we’re not comfortable taking in. The employees in store will always outrank this trade policy but this is just the broad strokes idea of what you can expect to see if you bring in games to trade in with us.
We’re sure you have fond memories with these games, and we hate to say this, BUT they just aren’t worth much. Often times we’re more so playing for the case than anything else.
Mostly sports games, scratched Assassin’s Creeds, those amazing Burger King games, old Battlefields who’s servers are down, Wii Shovelware, etc.
Here you’re only really looking at $0.25 - $1.00 store credit MAX. We are extremely picky about these, if they’re scratched you’re probably not going to get anything for it.
Examples Include:
Burger King games
Most sports games
Wii Shovelware
Poor quality games
These are the average tittles, the bread and butter we most often deal with. We’re talking about the games that everyone knows and loves… but also everyone has, so they’re not that rare.
We’re talking games like the Halo’s or the Call of Duty’s. Games like these are just everywhere, but still will sell if the sale is right.
For these games, you’re gonna be looking at about 30% of market value for store credit and half of that for cash. These are games that we have TONS of, so we really can’t go up in value on them, unless they’re in absolutely mint condition.
Examples Include:
Most halo games
Call of Duty games
The legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Metal Gear Solid 2
Tekken
These are the gems everyone is looking for to complete their collections. These are games that are hot sellers and rare finds that everyone is looking for these days.
Here we’re talking about the Mario games, Super Smash Bros, those fancy PS1 JRPGs, relatively new releases, etc.
Depending on the title and the cost of the item, we have a little more wiggle room. We’re really looking at 40-50% of market value. Again, condition really matters here, so we have to be sure things are up to snuff.
Examples Include:
Wii Sports
Fatal Frame
Super Smash Bros Melee
Spiderman Web of Shadows
The Legend of Dragoon
Mariokart Wii
For games that are TRULY sought after, we are always willing to give you the BEST deal possible. We understand these are your treasures, we’re gamers too, so the last thing we’d want you guys to have is seller’s regret. So for the truly most sought after titles, we are willing to give 50-70% trade credit or cash of market value (Determined by the going rates after research).
Examples Include:
Legacy Pokemon Titles
CIB Games like Chrono Trigger
Rare Gamecube Games
Funtastic Orange N64
Please understand that because of the nature of the trade, we have to be extra careful of what we can take in. Condition, rarity, demand, etc, are all HUGE factors in deciding this. We also need to make sure the games we taking in are legitimate copies. So we’re going to be extra picky about what’s considered LEGENDARY.
Of course, as is the nature of us not being a huge corporation, a lot of discretion is afforded to our employees. Everything is subjective towards the staff evaluation of the merchandise you may bring in, but we are trying to get the best deals for everyone!
