My birthday is coming up, and, as with birthdays since I was 11, I'm bound to get over $100. (No presents, just money) With money form relatives (No one buys me things anymore, they just give me money), it might go over $150.

I want a Wii very, VERY badly, as I am a Nintendo Fanboy.

I'm going to trade in every PS2 and Gamecube thing I can, with the exception of memory cards and, for the Gamecube, the two controllers I have.

If I wanted to trade at Blockbuster, how much would I get for trading in:

Gamecube Console
PS2 Console
2 PS2 Controllers (One of which is third-party)
X-Men Legends 2 for Gamecube
Sonic Riders for Gamecube
Devil May Cry 2 for PS2
Gundam vs. Zeta Gundam for PS2

Any guess would be helpful.

Well, then tell them to get off their lazy asses, if they want the sale!

Bingo. They tried pulling the "well we can't say because we don't know what condition your items are in". Even though they charge the bottom amount no matter if the game is brand new or broken in two.

Because that's where I go to trade in my games, and get new (Or used, if the price is better) games. They have better buy-back prices than EBGames or Gamestop, so that's good.

It's not just renting anymore.

You probably wouldn't get as much as you could if you sold on ebay. I personally would sell on ebay since I've seen the trade-in values of places like ebgames/gamestop and blockbuster and it's just not worth my while.

With the stuff you've got, if everything is in good condition, I'd say you'd get around $70-$120 credit. But that's just an estimate...
