IIRC, I only paid $0.35 to ebay for selling MLB 2k5 (~22 dollars) less than a month ago, which isn't much.
There are no Gamerush stores in my area, but I find that EB Games gives more credit compared to Gamestop. They will also give you extra credit for every three games or DVDs you trade in to them.
Dreamcast got Rez too. Wish I'd picked up the PS2 version in Japan last year. It was selling for about $8 everywhere.

Game Rush - At the very least you can get any of those psp games for $29.99 with 2 trades. You can use that credit the games are worth as well and get it less then $29.99.
Plus right now you can trade 3 games and get in extra $5 per game. (you might be able to combine these depending on which one you go to...you can say "Can you try it in your computer just to make sure?").

If you have an FYE or Wherehouse store in your area, I'd recommend them. I recently got rid of a bunch of crap I had lying around and was able to pick up a few PSP games and a DVD box set.
The only drawbacks: the games have to be in excellent shape, and if they have plenty of that particular used game in stock, they won't take it. That, and their in-game selection isn't the greatest.
If you want to find out how much your games will get in credit over there, go here and plug some titles in:
http://www.wherehouse.com/games/
For example, I got $24.04 for SRS, $26.00 for Lupin, and $22.19 for Legends of Wrestling 3. All mediocre games to me, and none that I'll miss.
YMMV

Trade in two games get any new game or pre-order for 29.99 Then count the trade amount for the games....hence the best deal in town.

my gamerush lets me double dip on the trade 3 get $5 extra/trade 2 get $29.99
for instance i did the following trade last week:
Devil May Cry 3 = $35 + $5
Resident Evil GC = $8 + $5
Mario Kart GC = $10 + $5
for a total of: $68
PLUS i reserved Doom 3 collectors edition:
so, $68 - $29.99 (trade in 2 or more, get any game for $29.99) = $38
So for 3 games traded in I got Doom 3 collectors and $38 credit. how sweet it is ladies!

Actually, FYE and the Wherehouse are the same company (there's other stores under that umbrella as well, I think). The trade-in values are one and the same, but FYE's website doesn't have the useful trade-in value function.
In my case, the nearest FYE was 30+ miles away, while the closest Wherehouse was 10. I chose convenience versus game stock, as the Wherehouse's was rather--lacking. At least they had the PSP games I wanted.
BTW, it looks like there's a ton of FYE's in NJ.
Good luck.

Uh, thanks! I found all this out through the cheapassgamer forums, though. They were posting FYE prices like mad until someone pointed out The Wherehouse link.

AFAIK, yes they do. However, they're only taking in current-gen games, i.e., XBOX, GC, PS2, GBA, DS, and PSP. They also refer to what they do as "buy backs" and not trade-ins. Whatever. Works the same for me.
And no, I don't work there. Just passing on what I know. I was happy to be able to get rid of a ton of crap I had lying around--for even shinier crap that'll be lying around in a year or two.
