local game shop or ebay for the rare ones. Or to friends.

Local shops would most likely rip you off. Best bet is ebay or the BST section at any message board.

I was thinking of selling some of my ps2 games, anyone know how much EB gives for them? Terrible I'm sure, but I'm curious to know how much..

depends on the title, you would have to call them and ask. They love those trade-ins (only way they make money).. so I'm pretty sure they won't mind you calling with a long list.

Most local game shops are a complete rip-off IMHO, some games they will offer $.50, which is insulting, considering the price of the case and disc(be it for a game or not)

Agreed. Best price would be to put them up on eBay. You can search completed auctions to see approx. the price your game will end at (depending on your feedback rating). If you don't like to ship, post them here for sale in the BST forums. Also, you will get a better price by posting each game individually (rather than as a bundle), eventhough it will be slightly more work especially for local deals. Good luck.

eBay or to his buddies, don't bother with B&M stores.

[Fantaz]

Don't bloody use ebay! They have enough money from us. Try using BST forums or newsgroups.

^ True, but it's the fastest/easiest way to get rid of your junk for most people.

[Feneant]

BST forums are a pita now, everyone wants the deal of the century and will be like 'I give you 5$ for 1 game if you give me 2 free and ship overnight fedex'

[sfu_lifer]

Are these complete with instructions?
Put 'em up on BST and lemme know when it's up.

If the price is right i'll take a few of 'em off his hands

As the owner of a game store, let me be brutally honest with you. I want all of your games and I want them cheap. Not dirt cheap, but cheap enough that I can make good money re-selling them. EB will rip you off completely, and the BST forum will lead to a lot of people who want a deal and wasted time. If you know how valuable these games are and expect to get a premium, be prepared to work for it. Focus on selling to your friends, then put the rest on eBay individually. It's a bit of work, but that is what you need to do if you want to get a premium for them. If you don't want the hassle and are willing to get less for them, PM me and I'll make an offer.
