Bring and Buy: We understand that some people have a lot of games and are ready to trade their old stuff into new, shiny games.
As a seller: you can check in any number of games. Please know ahead of time how much you want to price them. There is a deposit to pay of £2 per game which is put on a Waterstones Gift Card, held by staff until check out. At check out you will collect any unpurchased games along with your gift card containing the deposit value and the value of your sold items.
