Thread: What to do with old PC games?

  1. #1

    Default What to do with old PC games?

    Hi All

    Just a question to you all. I have a whole load of PC games which I have accumulated over the years and need to get rid of. Probably bordering a hundred. All original.

    What do I do with all of them. I would like to make some money off them, but selling each individual one would be useless. I rather prefer downloading my games off of steam since they are attached to my account and take up no space.

    Any suggestions on how to sell them or what I could get for them?

    I'm in the same boat. If it's Steam or Origin (EA) games, you can forget about selling them of course. Been there, tried that, unless someone has come up with a solution lately of selling old Steam games. I've posted all my old games, or at least those that I can sell, on Gumtree or on Kalahari. If you are REALLY desperate, try Cash Converters or Cash Crusaders or whatever, but they'll probably only offer you R5 a game...

    Read the terms and conditions of the games, you bought a license to play the game, you do not own the game or a copy thereof, in most cases it is illegal to resell old games, you many not even give them away free since it is one user account per activation.

    If possible compile a list and i will take a look at them and help take it off your chest. I won't quote stoopid prices .

    Give me first dibs before sharing it on here is all i ask.
