Music Magpie but for PC Games???

Hi all,

Wondering if there is such a site that buys PC games? A bit like music magpie? Doubt anyone wants them on the MM and I need quick cash tbh

With most games tied to one account or another and only older games being DRM free there really isn't much of a market for trading PC games. CEX or eBay may be your best bet.

Physical copies of games?

Big Box games from the '90s can fetch ok money on Ebay - sold a few myself (search 'Big box' in sold games on the bay for an idea of prices). Amaray cased games are practically worthless, with a handful of exceptions (e.g. Monkey Island, Grim Fandango (prior to remaster release, might be worthless now))

Don't CEX take old PC games?

CEX do but you won't get much for them.

Theyre sitting in a drawer doing nothing, I'll take a look thanks.

And I don't touch eBay

Well it's free to make a thread on MM, can at least gauge the interest.

If you've got even one half decent big box game, you could sell it on the bay and throw the rest in the bin and still be better off than taking it all to CEX.

I've sold 30+ big box games (between £5 and £80) and never had a problem, even sending to europe.

But, yeah, the MM might be worth your time - there are a few retro collectors on the forum.
