This seems to be a good way to get games and you need to do it wisely. Bartering or trading your games for new ones or different titles can save you money. Instead of cash, you trade your game. Avoid places that give you low trade value for your video games. Sometimes you can go to craigslist and put an ad in to see if someone wants to trade the games you want for the game you wanted in return.

Video games has come a long way and keep getting more expensive. Sometimes it’s worth the wait to allow the game to go down in price. Some games keep their value for a long time and this is determined by the popularity of the game. Another thing I want to add and didn’t list was that you can preorder new games and pay little at a time. Go every paycheck and pay 5 dollars. This helps you get new games that come out a few weeks later. Do you want to save money on video games?
