How many of you have gone into a game store with your console games to trade them in?
I know I have often, and every time I walk in the games store I walk out feeling like I?ve been ripped off. The trade price you get back from your games is a joke. They sell the games to you for say ?49 but if you where to trade them in the next day you would probably get around ?15
For this reason I have created a free video game swapping forum, you can add your unwanted games and see if anyone has a game you would like to swap. It is only in the UK as I hope to get enough people so you do not have to post your games, you could just find someone in your area and trade in person.
It?s been running for around 3 weeks now and things have been going great, 97 members and growing. The response I?ve had has been fantastic and some of the other members are also promoting it.
I know there is a lot of trust involved so I have setup a way where you can feel more at ease.
I`m the middle man and both swappers send there games to me and when both games have arrived I forward them. I have had one swap so far and arranging another at the moment.
Just wanted to know you guys thoughts.
Thanks
