Title: Should I trade in my DS games?
Post by: CurseoftheGods on March 15, 2008, 03:23:33 PM

I have 16 DS titles, and I was offered $200 for them. Being a dental student, I need all the money I can get, and I don't have that much time to play games as I used to anyway. I already have a flashcart with a 4 GB memory card (which I used for Japanese titles), and I can pretty much put my entire collection on it. There aren't many DS titles I am looking forward to, to be honest.

Should I just do it? I just fear missing those physical copies, and I am hoping I won't regret it in the future. Should I suck it up and get some much needed shelf space?

If you are fine with never playing them again, why not?

If you're strapped for cash, your education comes first. Though, if you can keep a few of your favorites and still get a good chunk of money for the rest, do.

I was gonna trade in my DS games, but then I figured I'd get royally raped in trade-in credit. I considered eBay, and then decided that waiting for money orders would be boring, cause I dont use PayPal on there.

I also considered CAG, but I didnt want to constantly bump my topic because nobody was interested.

So I just held onto them.

But I'm not strapped for money, or going to school, so my situation is different.

Sell most of them but keep a few just so that you can say "hey, I buy some games" when someone criticizes you for downloading games.
