How much would Gamestop give me for a used Xbox,controllers and about 10 games?

Q. The games are mostly older games but i have some new ones like NBA 2K11, wwe svr 2011 and 10. If they wouldn't give much is there any other place to sell this at for a reasonable price?


Answer
Looks like I have to educate some more people who think conducting a business is "evil".

First lemme answer your question quick, I can't know what you'll get for all the games since I only can find out what you name off but:
Xbox System (system in working order, 1 controller - wireless, A/V cables, Power Adapter) - $35 (iirc)
Xbox 360 controller wireless MS brand - $12
NBA 2K11 - $12
WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2010 - $8
WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2011 - $15

Now if you have a power up pro card, you can add 10% extra to each of those plus the rest, and if done today I believe the 3/5/7 promotion is still going on trades (3 games gets 10% more, 5 get 20% more, and 7 gets 30% more credit) and that stacks with the pro card so you can see it as 20%, 30%, 40% additional trade in credit.

If you want cash it's going to be about a 25% decrease from the total value of the games and no promotions, and you should be 18 with a valid photo ID or with a parent or guardian. If you want to know the values for the others just edit and name them and I can tell you how much. And their are other places to trade/sell games.. Pawnshops, Bestbuy, some of your local gaming stores if they do allow trades...But I can GUARANTEE you that we have by far the best deals and outside of selling on ebay you won't get a better value than what we offer when combined with promotions, etc.

Now to the rest of these people. What do you really know about gamestop? Nothing, you're just "entitled" customers who feel you deserve to make exactly how much money you spent on the game however long ago. Guess what? doesn't work like that...ANYWHERE. Sure ebay can get you more, but that's because YOU are offering the games to others and it's up to them if they want to spend that amount or not. Guess what again? Most times, people know GS prices and usually won't give you anything over what they can pay at a store, so good luck getting what you THINK you deserve.

Lets look at it from this perspective. We're a business. We need to make a profit in order to run. How can a company make a profit if they are spending out more than they are selling the games at? You say you want the 50 or 60 you paid like 10 years ago on a game back just because that's how much you paid and the disc still looks pretty? Go back to school, take Econ and BuS classes and learn a thing or two. Now while I agree our base values are pretty low (corporate decides these prices FYI, they are set in stone in the computer so arguing with the employee of your local store is about as pointless as trying to run through a brick wall. WE CAN'T CHANGE THE VALUE, WE HAVE NO ACTUAL ABILITY TO DO SO)

Go ahead, shop at walmart, target, best buy, circuit city, whatever. That's up to you and if it makes you feel all cool because "you're sticking it to gamestop" kudos. However....Gamestop is still multinational. Gamestop still has over 6000 stores. Gamestop still brings in billions. Gamestop is still the #1 video game retail company in the world. And trust me, those of you who are "Anti Gamestop" really, and I do mean really, are the minority.

A question about building a computer?

Q. I am going to be putting together a computer, and I have a fairly good understanding of how to put it together and how parts need to be compatible. My question is: Is there any reason that the following parts wouldn't work together? Are there any additional parts I would need that I missed? (I already have a screen, keyboard, and mouse, as well as speakers.) Also, if you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them.

Answer
The Kingston memory is already overclocked to get to 1600 MHz as it is 1.65V instead of the 1.5V often used as ready for overclock. It's value is inflated in the listed price.
The CPU cooler would be the stock one, not ready for overclocking.
The A10-5800K is normally used to make use of the graphics. You are not.

It is OK for gaming, but there are better choices. Tom's site is best as relative ranking in tiers, and in comparing similar CPUs, the benchmark site shows non-gaming strength as an indicator.
You list no operating system (Windows)
This is a shopping and compatibility site now loaded with your part list:
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/EsDR
Reference cards HD 7870 vs GTX 660 ti
http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/548?vs=647

A core i3-3220 is usually a better gaming build than A10-5800K. It runs lower wattage and as a strong 2 core is better at gaming through 2011 games as measured at Toms hardware and equal in most newer games. It can later be upgraded to i5-3570K as probably the best to use if affordable.
Motherboard to case looks compatible. Memory to motherboard and CPU is compatible but is not the best which in this combination is 1866 speed, 1.5V, CAS9, with heat spreaders.
Power supply is 62A on 12V with 4 6-pin connects available.
Graphics card needs 2 6pin and are available. Card is 10.7" long and fits the case.

I did shuffle parts and you may choose to change some of yours.
