Whats the policy for trading in games for cash? I'm thinking of doing this for extra christmas money. Thanks in advance.

If I recall correctly, they're not allowed to comment on the policies of their respective companies

I can tell you it's usually along the lines of maybe 1/3rd of what they can sell it for. You'd be much better off flogging them off on eBay.

yeah, I was actually thinking along those lines.

And if I remember correctly, the ones in Canada (at least Ontario) only give trade credit, no cash.

I worked at an EB and they'll give you sod-all unless its really new, where you might get 30-ish percent. Sell it yourself, get half what you paid.

20% off of the store credit value. If its an EA Sports game don't be looking for more than a dollar for em.

If they're in really good/brand new condition, you're better off ebaying them.
