The below screenshots were taken from their website on March 17, 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/madden_18_gamestop_2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/madden_18_gamestop_2-300x126.jpg\" alt=\"Madden 18 on GameStop\" class=\"wp-image-2507 img-responsive\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/madden_18_gamestop_1-300x182.png\" alt=\"Madden 18 on GameStop\" class=\"wp-image-2505 img-responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Summary: GameStop will buy <a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/gaming\/buy\/madden-nfl-18-game\/playstation-4\">Madden 18 for PS4<\/a> from you for $14, then sell the exact same copy to another gamer for $49.99. They pocket the $35 difference, and we think that\u2019s a ripoff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Swappa, we know your games are worth something. And we know you get the most value buying and selling direct with other gamers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a sample of some of the listings for Madden 18 for PS4 right now (March 17, 2018) on Swappa:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/gaming\/buy\/madden-nfl-18-game\/playstation-4\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/madden_18_swappa_2-300x98.png\" alt=\"Madden 18 on Swappa\" class=\"wp-image-2510 img-responsive\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>That means you can buy the game for cheaper on Swappa ($40 vs $49) AND you can sell the game for more on Swappa ($40 vs $14).
