From there, Amazon gives you a prepaid shipping label that you can print out and use to send your games in. Once they’ve received your games and find them to be in good condition, you’re credited with an Amazon Gift Card in the trade-in amount. It's not yet clear if Amazon plans to sell these games on its website (there is no "used games" store), or is selling them back to retailers elsewhere.
While Amazon is late to this market – GameStop is already well-established both on the Web and in brick-and-mortar stores – they might be plenty disruptive. In addition to the fact that Amazon store credits can be used on anything that Amazon sells, Webware notes that the etailer appears to be offering higher trade-in values than all of its competitors. The timing of the launch is also spot-on, as people trade-in old, unneeded video games for extra cash.
