The Rare Transfer XI: Ah...I'll buy it at a high price.

Considering DLC when choosing to buy New or pre-owned is a real deal breaker Some times its just not worth the extra cash just for a extra weapon or some other guff, The online codes they put in new games make this a harder choice buying pre-owned and then to find out they want £7.99 for the online pass.
 

Chances are if a game is new out, some one has got it on a console deal and cash it in straight away so the code will be unused, like this copy of dead space on the left, on the filp side a lot of shop just throw the codes away, bit tight might as well leave them in the box just in case.

Just one pick up from the wild this week, Star wars Knights of the old republic for £2, Works on 360 and a great game.

 Checking out the CEX website a couple of nights ago and the rare games in the hull store was off the chart.

 

 
Some real heavy hitters, An opportunity that couldn't be missed so I called upon my 360 crap pile for some Trade.

I have sat on these games for a while, The seasonal price chances that happen in cex means the Cash and Trade on these games has being up and down all year and peaked the other day, Stuff like Child of eden and Kameo have gone down as low as £1.20 trade and 90p cash, now both back up to a healthy £3 trade £2 cash, The thinking behind this is the stock level is so low after xmas that they need to encourage people to trade in, Always keep and eye on CEX prices its is a clear indication of the Market, Its like the Thrifters stock exchange.

 £29.30 Trade, and they didn't knock anything of for scratched disc, Must have all being ok con, I grabbed all the rare stuff of the shelf before trading in wasn't going to take the chance some one would nab them before me so now I had to take my pick, I checked ebay the night before doing this so I had a good Idea on the value and had chosen accordingly.

  

Mana Khemia: Alchemist of Al-revis, Phantom Brave, and Odin Sphere!

The best of the bunch but not by much still left some Great and rare games on the shelf in cex, well maybe next time I am out and about I can find some stuff with good trade in them to drum up another Rare Transfer, The thing with stuff like this there's not a lot of people in Hull willing to pay a high price on last gen video games here's hoping the rest of them stay in there tell I return.

Right then, now I am going to pick up Odin sphere again and look at it in disbelieve, Just to think a few months back I was just about getting away with emulating this game on my laptop, Thinking of the silm chance I would ever get of owning it, Seems to always happen on Thrift Bytes mention something and you end up finding it.
