Just for a heads up in that I flogged a few old games to Argos the other day to get F1, and was impressed by their valuations. I was getting £3-4 for old games (PGR4, GOW & BC) and I got £22 for RDR. Check their website for what they are accepting, the list isnt exhaustive but the main titles are on there. They give you vouchers against it, but some of their games are actually a decent price, and to be fair you can usually always buy someone a Xmas present from there biggrin

I never trade in in-store, the prices offered are dismal to say the least. I usually flog em on ebay in bundles every 3 or 4 months.

got £20 on trade for rdr today

but my god it was such a slow process!!

they only take in certain games - and even then they've gotta look through a paper list of which ones they can accept - ontop of that i had the most illiterate staff member - a granny who was as pc savvy as i am with knitting needles.

right so red dead redemption is this on the list? yes it says on your website too. and there it is (points to game code on the print out list upside down) ah yes. now let me see if there's a duplicate entry.

5 mins later ok now we have to check to make sure its all ok. (opens the disc and has no idea what she's meant to be looking for till someone else points it out to her) we have to make sure its all in order everything.

i'm just thinking god sake if argos want to be serious about this then they need to buck up their staff training on how to put them through.
