Amazon Gets Into The Used Game Market

To trade a game in to Amazon, all you have to do is visit the trade-in section of the site, select the games you want to trade in (at least $10 worth), print a free shipping label and send it out. You’ll get a gift card in return — plus an extra 10% if you do it before March 19. Unfortunately, the trade-in values seem roughly commensurate with GameStop’s, which means they’re pretty low. But sometimes eBay is such a hassle!

Gamefly also recently rolled out a used game feature as well as Toys R Us.  I’m going to have to consider each one now to trade games to, Amazon is looking nice with the Gift Card.

    even though I don’t buy amazon or used game for that matter, I think this is a good idea.
