...Wish Gamestop had some...calculator thing, I'm wanting to take back some games too.
Do what Kaiser and I did. Look up the Used price of ur games on Gamestop's site, and cut that price in half. That's about what you would get back from trading them in.

I believe many are less than half

Based on Metroid Prime 3 (one of the games I traded in), the total Used price is $19.99, and I got $8.34 for it. It was surprisingly close to half. All of the other games I traded in were close as well. The trade in values could change from store to store though, so who knows?
If you have access to the internet, and your games are in good condition, do a completed listings search on ebay and see what your games would probably fetch you. This always seems like the best way to do it, because you're selling your game for the actual market price, not giving it to someone for less than the market price, so they can sell it for a bit more than the market price and profit. Depending on how much these games go for, the extra $10 may make up the difference and then some. However, if these games are still trading in for more than $10 though, you're probably better off selling on ebay.
I honestly don't understand how trade-in/used games continues to be profitable for stores, when it's a better deal to buy/sell online, and if you're buying, you can basically find any game you want.

It's also a matter of convenience. It's easier to go to a store and sell games rather than dealing with online auctions

For Canadians, there's this site that compares trade in values at EB Games (our version of Gamestop, I think), Future Shop, Best Buy, Blockbuster Video and Rogers Plus/Rogers Video locations. I've found it incredibly useful.

Thats why Id rather go into a store rather than selling my games on Ebay. Who wants to deal with the hassle, or like me has really no idea on how to do that. Unless you have time to dedicate to selling your stuff on Ebay its just easier to take a stack of games into a store like Gamestop and get the cash or store credit there.
