    Look everyone i'm sorry for my behavior during this past time, I'm not having a good week lately and i shouldn't take it out on you guys and took full reponsibillity for my actions and got mad over a little $13 bucks and now you guys hate me now so there's that, i'm done arguing and i understand you guys refused to help inside getting pissed. But that's okay people tend to mistakes that will be end soon. And before it gets worse, can a mod please lock this and trash? Thanks! I still like you guys and i don't want our friendship to break up over something redundant and stupid.

    DS games can be played on the 3DS, PSP games are stuck on a last gen console. I imagine that a lot of people wouldn't bother replacing their PSP if it dies, and even if they did it would have to be second hand. The market for PSP games is only going to get smaller, while the DS market is potentially still growing.

    The last time I ever traded games in (a few years ago now), I took a few PS2 games to CeX. I was happy with the overall amount, bearing in mind the PS3 had been out about a year and prices had dropped. Didn't have an ebay account at the time as I was too young.

    When I got out of the store and checked the receipt, I noticed that they hadn't given me anything at all for one of the games. So I went back into the shop and complained. Eventually, I got my game back.

    @afccarl1994 That's true, i've just looked it up and realise that the Nintendo DS is still continuing to grow in sales because of the backwards compatibility of the 3DS while the Vita doesn't have that. Now that i'm becoming to get why my PSP games aren't worth a dime anymore, and i fully blame Sony for this stupid stunt they pulled on their consumers! I kinda get it now and it makes perfect sense. Thanks for the talk man it was appreciable :) and i apologise for that post i made :(

    No, I wouldnt get mad if I had agreed to sell something for $13 when someone offered me that price.

    I assume you werent held at gun point or anything, right? Thats about the only way I can make your posts make any sense.

    Here's how your problem could have been solved:

    "We'll offer you $13 for all this."

    "Sorry, that's quite low, I'll sell it on my own, thanks anyways!"

    i took some ps4 games i didnt care for to trade in and when i was offered $10 each, i said no thanks, i am not giving them away to you for you to sell them for $25 each or sell them as new to some other customer. said screw that, that was my first and last experience of game trading.

    these stores make millions on buying games for dirt cheap from folks who need the money only to sell them for more than double what they buy them for.

    i didnt need the money so they didnt get a chance to screw me and make me feel all dirty. if deal isnt good, walk away. you are not committed to any deal until money changes hands.

    What a weird thread. Maybe he was embarassed at the shop. Who knows... him, maybe?

    ^^'

    You should try thinking (possibilities, etc) before going to these places. Things like that (that make you angry) will happen in your entire life. If you don't learn how to deal with these situations, of course.

    To be fair though, they're also not a charity company so it's expected that you're going to get below retail-value. They wouldn't make any money if you they gave you $20 for a game that they will resell for $25.

    The thread has run its course. If DS wants us to reopen it, let us know.
