Lame Video Games. Everyone has them. That one game you bought when you were 13, outgrew, and never seemed to be able to get rid of. That game your mom bought you so you could play it with your little brother. Those girly games your ex bought you a few years ago that have been collecting dust ever since you broke up. The game that looked awesome in the ads, but ended up being incredibly boring.
 
 Of course, you could just throw them away. But why? There are so many other options!
 
 The first place to check is your local game store. This is a great choice if you intend to buy more video games, as the trade-ins tend to use in-store credit, which means you have to spend it there. The game will be worth more if you have the original packaging, especially the instruction manual.
 
 The next place to go is Amazon. Most people don’t know it, but you can ship your old games to Amazon  and get an Amazon gift card in return. While this still isn’t cash, you can use the gift card for just about anything, from cheese packages to textbooks for school to a great gift for your special loved one. Best of all, they pay the shipping both ways.
 
 If neither of these places will accept it, check around online and at pawn shops to find the best deal you can get for it.
 
 If all else fails, and you can’t find a place to send it, try going to SwapTree.com, where you can put it on your list of currently existing titles. When someone requests it, they arrange a two, three, or four way trade to get you something in exchange.
 
 Or just throw it in the microwave and watch the fireworks!
