    Default does gamecrazy still take in nes/snes/gen/psx?

    I have loads of sports games and commons, and have been considering just bringing them in, as no one else will take them/wants them. Anyone know? Thanks.

    My local GameCrazy no longer trades or sells NES/Genesis/SNES games...not sure about the PSX games though.

    Game Crazy doesn't take in anything before PS2, just like GameStop.
    RIP bargora, you will be greatly missed.That is how we do things on Giedion Prime.

    I hate how hard it is to move sports games. I gave some (roughly 30 boxed genesis titles) to goodwill 2 years ago and at least 80% of them are still sitting in the same glass case that they put them in. It really sucks having to look around them anytime you are trying to find new games they put in that case.

    I mainly just try to stay away from sports games whenever possible mainly for reasons like this. Just regular common games aren't too bad for the right price though. Sports games just seem to be too easily found and they don't quite stand the test of time. If they were Saturn or Sega CD sports games, they can usually be used if the cases are in good shape.

    Maybe, as a community, we can come up with some kind of project to donate all of our old 16-bit sports cartridges to.

    Just gather up 94% of all 16-bit sports games and DESTROY them. Then they would be vauable by dint of being many times more rare.

    Don't they use those things for homebrew projects?
    Currently catching up on PSN, WiiWare, Wii U E-Shop and Xbox Live Arcade exclusives I missed.

    Ha, yeah that would be nice. Maybe we could make low-income gov't-subsidised housing with them.

    Although, don't touch my Chrono Trigger. I earned that one... meaning I stole it from my GF's little brother. : P

    Hmm my local Game Crazy still takes PSX, Dreamcast, and N64 games. Just cut their Genesis, NES, and SNES items a few months ago. Although, the manager is cool and will give people wanting to get rid of their games names and numbers of reputable collectors.

    update: To my amazement, I created a craigslist ad the other day for said games. I sold them as a lot (8-10 sports games, mario world, mario 2 and sonics 2 and 3) for 30. I guess there is a market for them out there...that or this gentleman really wanted the sonics or marios.

    That's an idea-using excess carts for translated repros and the like.
