I have some models I don't want to use anymore so I was wondering if any of you have traded in models to Game Empire (Pasadena/San Diego). If so, do you think it's worth what they offer? (Money wise)

Personally I have avoided GE's trade in program because you only get store credit for your items instead of cash. It is more hassle but you'd be better off selling on eBay or Craigslist if you need cash.

You will get low-balled in what they offer you because they want to turn around and sell the items, so unless you just want to move a lot of old items quickly without any hassle I'd suggest looking for alternate venues to sell your minis.

The swap shop here and bartertown are better ways to move models if you want to get a decent return.

You won't get much for whatever you trade in, and they don't get much for selling it generally. A lot of the stuff they get is people just dumping it and not wanting to deal with it anymore.

What sort of stuff are you looking to get rid of? If they are decently built and painted you could possibly talk to Cliff about working out a better deal, but if its just sprues or unfinished models or some such, you're probably better off trying to sell it yourself if you're looking for good value.
