Well I don't photograph them, and my listings are saved so that saves times (all 360 games etc, genres pre-selected etc), plus I do 3 day listings, and I use the envelopes they came in or recycle old ones.
if getting the right person for the right envelope/game is a serious concern though then yeah, go to Game fella
And wait in line for the postie? wtf?
Seems you've had a bad experinece with ebay or something. Always been immense with me. Make much more cash than I do trade-ins, and it;s a piece of pish.

Herm, I have used ebay before to sell games. I found that after taking fees into account the difference relative to what you get from trading in is minimal. That said, if people prefer ebay such as you, there's nothing wrong with that.

I traded in a bunch of games the other day at Game and bought a Wii for $50. Probably a bit of a ripoff considering how many games I had but I wasn't using them anyway.

| You've never been to my post office! It's immensely crap and there is ALWAYS at least a 10 minute wait. And the service grils are rubbish and struggle to compute more than one item.
eBay hasn't always been kind to me in the past so I'm just about to go to GAME.

Not minimal for me. The likes of CoD games, Gears of War, etc I end up significantly up on trade in.
From memory CoD3 went for £27, GoW £25 and FFXII for £24. Much more than any trade-in I was offered, even after you take away fees.
But horses for courses and all that.

| That's my theory. I was going to trade my PS2 in but the ex/possibly not ex uses it sometimes so figure couldn't really sell it.

Well it was more I couldn't work out why you had to go to the post office. Envelope, stamps, do it at home and post in a post box.

| If they are newer well known games then eBay all the way.

Really cba with ebay. I'm sure once I've used it a couple of times I'll sell everything through it, but it's the setting up that's the first stumbling block.

This is gonna sound like I'm just arguing with you for the sake of it, but I'm not
I actually find the less well known the better price I get. Just put things like "rare" in the title and make the description as interesting as possible and people will buy it. Sold so many rubbish RPG's for £20+ when I only bought them for £20 from Play. People are mugs.
