In my wallet, I have $15 dollars. I'm unemployed because I'm 14, DER. On my shelf, I have a stack of games I don't play anymore. I'm not sure if all together they are worth $45, but it wouldn't hurt to try. Should I go for it? Any objections?

I'd say get rid of 'em, nothing is worth keeping, especially if you don't play it.

I'm assuming you're trading them into Gamestop here. The PS2 games will net you very little, unfortunately. The PS3 games will fetch more, but not as much given that they're all relatively old now and the trade in value of RB1 has plummeted since the exporting option came out. I'd say anywhere between 25-30 for all of them. However, if you were hoping to buy one specific game with it you can probably get a nice trade in bonus. Again, this is all assuming you're trading into Gamestop. 
 
 Oh, and if you are trading into Gamestop, be prepared to get a lot of replies that don't help your cause at all and are mainly made by people who are bitter their old games only got them $5 each.

Nothing in there seems particularly worth keeping.
 
But I dunno about Rock Band... If you have the instruments for it, why sell the game?

Gamestop are tossers when it comes to trade-ins so don't expect a whole lot.

Well, I haven't traded in a game to Gamestop for a while, now. Ever since someone in my area opened up shop (used games, ranging from Atari 2600 to X360/PS3), I've been trading in to their store. It's a nice little setup, and they give you half of what they will sell it for, which is a hell of a lot more than EB/GS will fetch you. 
 
On to your dilemma. You won't get a very high amount for those (probably not even $45, what you would like), so just get rid of the ones you will absolutely never play again, and keep the rest. No use making a decision you'll regret.

Hmm, I wouldn't sell that, unless you have something really important to buy with that money. That's just too many games for too many games imo

I see...Rock Band, Motorstorm, and Warhawk in that pile. Do you have Rock Band 2? If not, I'd keep that (unless you don't plan it that often), Warhawk and Motostorm are awesome!

As long as you feel comfortable with selling those games, then it's best to sell them. You might not get the money you're expecting for those games, but at least you'll get something.
 
I've sold games to get games myself actually. When I get money for the games that I sell, which may not be much sometimes, I make sure that I'll get a game that I absolutely know that I will like with that money.

I heard that Walmart is just starting to buy used games. Since they don't have many right now, maybe they'll be willing to may more for them. I'd try there.

Not necessarily, the game you plan on buying with the credit will ultimately determine if you get the bonus or not. Some offers are more specific than others. http://www.gamestop.com/gs/specialty/tradeins/

Same here. If you really love video games, learn from our mistakes and don't do it! You will regret it. Then again if you aren't crazy about video games, maybe you won't mind not having them anymore. It's your decision.

Go for it if you don't play those games anymore. Especially if you don't have a job. I'm 16 now and I'm employed. I remember being 14 and desperately wanting a job. I know how you feel.

Considering I don't down most of those games, and the ones on that list that I do own I would never trade in, screw it.

well of course i think you should sell these games specially if you don't play them anymore and give someone else the same enjoyment of these games that you had with them.

Dude yes!! I love that song!
Anyway, I like keepin my collection just in case I want to play them. It's Murphy's Law, when you have them most of the time you wont feel like playing them, when you don't then you'll have a real itch to play them.

 Unless you wanna find yourself 10 years from now searching eBay for all your old games, even the shitty ones, at 3:00 AM wearing only your underwear, don't do it.

Amazon usually gives you better trade-in values than Gamestop.   Check below to see if there is a difference.  Of course, they only offer credit, I think but if you are going to just buy more games anyway, it's a good deal.

I'd buy Rock Band for £10 if it is the UK version.
