Of course, for the first time this year GameTrader.SG is partnering with STGCC and GGXP to bring a unique game trading experience to gamers. Unlike other shows where you simply selling your games at a low price to game shop, the GameTrader.SG’s event aims to help you sell your game directly to gamers at the show. While we do not buy back your game, you can simply drop off your game at our booth and potentially sell them at a much higher price. Buyers can view the catalogue of games available (more information here<\/a>) and purchase them from our booth. If we manage to help you sell your game, you will receive your money at the end of the day! It’s that simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are also organising multiple ‘Meet and Trade’ sessions. Come down with your console game and trade on spot with other gamers according to the schedule which is available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So remember to bring your PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox and Nintendo switch games to the show! Other game consoles are also welcomed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

As usual, we will be doing the media coverage for the event on the actual day and bring the event to you via our blog. Also do visit our booth at the GGXP show booth GA2! See you on the 8th and 9th of September!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
