I'm planning on selling my xbox to get store credit to help get the xbox slim. The problem with my xbox is that it keeps breaking and every time I always go get it fixed. I'm pretty much sick of doing this since I just got it fixed again yesterday, so I was debating on getting the slim. I want to go trade it in at gamestop/eb games, does anyone know how much store credit I can get if sell it back to them?
Don't. If the console has any problem at all, they'll take like half off. My 360's disc drive had a hard time opening, and they only took ten dollars for it. Perhaps you could sell it somewhere else, like ebay.
I wouldn't try selling it at Gamestop for the exact reason TGA mentioned. They have to test everything they trade in (that's why there's a TV at the counter) before they can finish the trade. If they can't get yours to work at all they won't even give you the credit, or you'll get a piddly amount for it. Your best best is to sell it on eBay, mention the issues, and get a buyer who wants it for the parts. There's plenty of people out there that would try to build their own system from scratch or could use the parts to repair another system. You'll probably get more for it there too than you would at a trade-in.
