I've never had any issues with buying secondhand games. A lot of my library are used games. Being a classic gamer, I don't really have much of a choice but to get them used. But I have no problems with that whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 I've swapped a brand new PES 15 for a FIFA 14 disc, that was the first time I went for a second hand game. I didn't regret it back then, the FIFA got quality not now anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head_Hunter Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Not at all for me, I can't even swap my favourite game 'FIFA 22, for any other at the moment. I don't love used games, new games lasts longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 I've made a lot of trades on CL. Games I wanted, and had extra copies to trade with someone who wanted a game I had. There is one trade I regret, but live and learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were scammed or something in the one trade that you regretted getting into? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 No, I traded a game I shouldn't have. But I made the decision, and have to live with that. I traded a copy of Conker's Bad Fur Day for something that was nowhere near equal in value. I could have gotten the game off eBay for probably $10. I don't remember what I traded it for, but since I had 2 copies, I thought it was ok. Now I regret it. Heatman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 At least you had an extra copy of the game to fall back on, it would have been a heartbroken experience if it was just one copy you had and traded it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 I can't trade my CDs for lower amount, more than I expected. I do prefer exchange, if your own game meets my expectation, I can gently swap and everyone go their way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even like buying a used console reason why I always waited for the price to fall down to a price I can afford before purchasing it.

That's an option too, waiting for the price of the game to fall down a little bit and you purchase it. Digital version don't spoil nor lag, that's why I prefer it for swapping than swapping for a fairly used disc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first PlayStation 2 I bought was a used one. It's the big console. I didn't use this particular console up to 6 months. It was just giving me headache, I had to sell it then after which I saved more money to purchase a brand new slim PS2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head_Hunter Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 I hated the big PS2 console back then, the slim PS2 is by far better than the fat PS2. I bought the slim one, from there, I upgraded to PS3 and now PS4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 I have both the slim and original PS2. The slim being more compact had a lot of advantages over the original. The only disadvantage I can think of is having to pop the top to change discs. Whereas the big one you inserted the disc in the front so the system could take hold of it, instead of having to open it up and pop the disc on the spin mechanic.
