Selling/trading in games/dvds - any advice?

[BearSoFair]

Asking for teenage DS1 who is desperately trying to save for some new guitar gear, he's already putting aside some of his monthly allowance and does 4 hours a week minimum wage retail job so gets a little bit there but it's slow going. He's sorted a pile of old PS3 games and DVDs that he doesn't play/watch and is happy to sell, not something DH or I have any experience of so wondering what the best way is?

Ebay? I have an account and would be happy to list on there for him.
Or we have a CeX and Game locally, that would be more 'instant' results but not sure he'd really get much at all. Is one usually better than the other or is it a case of going to both and seeing who offers more? Or somewhere like Music Magpie online?

I would avoid Ebay as fees will eat part of the profit, plus it seems to be a fraudsters paradise (I buy but have heard horror stories from sellers. Schpock, local Facebook selling sites and gumtree are free so I’d try those first.

Places like Cex are a last resort - they have to make a profit selling it on, so he’ll get less than full value.

Try Musicmagpie & WeBuyBooks - you won't get as much but it's quicker, you can sell them all in one go (they don't buy everything) & you send them all off for free in one parcel. Worth comparing prices on both & going for the best offer even if it means two parcels. You can sometimes get 10% extra codes too.

Don't bother with Game. Just taken our Xbox 360 games in to trade towards an Xbox 1 game and they were worth nothing to them as they can't really sell them. We also had accessories, Kinect etc, and they wouldn't take them at all. I'd try gum tree or Facebook.

Thanks I was thinking Ebay might not be the best, interesting about Game not wanting the older stuff as well, presumably the same situation would occur with CeX. Will suggest he takes a look at Music Magpie and the like. I don't think he'd even considered Facebook so that's a good suggestion!

Music magpie will give you 50p a disc

If you go to cex online and input each title it'll tell you what they buy it for.

Game told us to go to CEX but we didn't bother as would probably get 20p a game!

If you go to cex online and input each title it'll tell you what they buy it for.
That's what music magpie & webuybooks do.
