I've got an awesome game store in my old town that would give about 50% cash or 60-70% credit. Their prices are really fair as well and they've got tons of cool stuff on display. (Old NES/SNES/N64/Sony signs, life sized statues of Hulk, Spiderman, Power Armor from Fallout, and more). Sadly the store just doesn't get a lot of business... It is by far my favorite game store but they just don't get much in. Maybe just a bad area or people don't know they exist. I always stop by when I'm in town.
Sorry that was a little off topic lol. Most game stores around me give 30%-50% credit, which to me is definitely not worth it. There's a more authentic store a couple hours away (Thrillhouse) and they tend to have better rates. Maybe 50% credit? I've only been there once but I'd love to go back.
I love game stores. I go by my local ones at least once a week. Any time I go out of town I see what game stores I'll pass and stop by. I know they gotta make a profit to keep their doors open but these days it's really hard to justify selling stuff to stores when you can get so much more with little effort between eBay, forums, Facebook. LetGo, OfferUp, etc.
