If you have a number of old games lying around, Amazon now gives the option to replace those old games for Amazon credit.

According to Chris Poad, the director of video games at Amazon.co.uk “Trading-in with Amazon.co.uk is quick and easy, providing customers with a great way to exchange their old games and save money on future purchases”

And the games that you can trade is not limited to the old ones, since Amazon gives the price to the items, the newer or thee higher the market value of the item that you will trade, the greater the amount for your gift check.

PS3’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will earn patrons of this program £9, Xbox 360’s FIFA 2011 will amount to £18.68 and Epic Monkey from the Wii is worth £20.63.

The games may sell for less compared to what you would be getting if you placed it for bidding on eBay. Why go this route? Because this is a more secure transaction, according to Amazon. They will be giving the price for the item and you will then get a pre-printed delivery label, that means that Amazon shoulders all of the cost; you also reduce that chance that the person you transacted with will report that they have received the item on their hands.

“It’s a hassle-free experience with Amazon paying for postage and putting a Gift Card straight into the customer’s account once the item is received”. Chris Poad adds.
