Whether it’s computer or games console games or board games, you can often save quite a bit of money by buying second hand. It may be that your son or daughter has a games console and always seems to want new games. If they play on it a fair bit then you might find that they are completing the games within a few days or a week of buying them. Games for the newest PlayStation or Xbox are often priced around fifty to sixty pounds each so not cheap. If this is the case why not look at buying them second hand. Once a new game comes out is usually comes up to but second hand within a few weeks. To start with you may find that you don’t save a massive amount but if you buy games that have already been out for a year or so you can often more than half the price it retails at by choosing second hand.

Many people worry about buying second hand games if it is for a gift for a son or daughter or niece or nephew but often they do not mind as it may mean they can have something else instead if you are spending less on that one game.
