The Right Way to Trade Video Games

One of the more oddball things that I received after my divorce was a massive collection of Xbox games. My ex moved on to a new system. In the meantime, I had this huge box mostly filled with games I was not interested in playing. Yes, some of the games had been mine, but for the most part I was just watching the things collect dust.

I had taken a stack of the newer games up to one of the stores in the mall that gives credit for trades, but I was offended by what they offered me in credit. I’d rather give the games to some of the neighborhood kids than accept pennies on the dollar.

I have wished for awhile I could find a site that allowed me to do video game trades the same way the book trading sites I use do trades. Enter PlayerChain.com.

They allow game-for-a-game trade. You post games you want to send out into their inventory and when another player requests one of your games, you send it out and receive credit. Use your credit to request any game in their system. Once you receive the game, it’s yours to keep forever or to play and trade again later.

Membership is free and right now they are offering 20 free Game Bucks. Plus, the credit you receive for games you send out is the full market trade-in value of your game.
