      Although I never use it, if you have access to a PC (which as you're posting I assume you have) there is allways Ebay and other online shops you could try.

      :?: Did u register them? I am guessing that you did.I don't know that I (or anyone) would want them as the registration option has already been used.One of the best things is getting sim points when you register.But for someone that cannot afford the price, this would be great!! :)

      the ONLY game that came with FREE sim points was "the sims 3" the base game.

      Game shops won't buy PC games off you because of the registration thing. Also if you've registered them then not many people will actually be interested. Although saying that I wonder how much you'd sell town life for?

      Have you registered the games?

      Only because people would like to register them, free sim points or not, though I'm sure there are plenty of people who would still buy it for a cheap price even without the registration code. Sims 3 base game and World Adventures actually came with free sim points. Unfortunately, you're not able to sell these kinds of games to a game shop or walmart or any retail store, no store will buy PC games because it is extremely easy to copy them, all places will tell you no. You should definitely try craigslist or ebay but don't forget to list that the games have been registered.

      Hope this helps you out :)

      The only game you get simpoints with is the base game.

      Are you guys saying they won't buy it because it's been registered on their computer so it won't work if you register it on yours?

      The only think you can't register it with is EA and this site.

      So you can play the game, you just don't get the stuff that is on the website you get when you register your game.

      The only games you get free simpoints for registering are the Sims 3 base game and World Adventures.

      Once you've registered the games no one else can. They won't be able to use any of the services or receive assistance.

      So good luck selling them.

      Anything is possible if the price is right, and your key is creating enough awareness of your sale. The suggestions for selling on EBAY is a good one for this purpose.

      Warning : off-topic rant ahead !!!

      I don't see why you cant just re-register a previously registered game with an additional 'PR' om the end of the reg. key, to show that it's been previously registered. If someone tries to register a game thats been previously registered, they won't be able to....but the 'PR' would let the game be registered with no free sim point benefits. It's that simple.

      People keep banging on about wasting global resources, but the current system ensures that one disk can be used only once.

      Rant over..

      Ebay and Craigslist is your only bet. Don't expect top dollar for the games if the serials have been registered.

      You can't register a used game. I would not buy a used game on e-bay as I can buy a new game on e-bay and register it myself. I have had a lot of problems with someone registering a game with EA that had my code and I did not sell it to them. You would be better off selling them at a yard sale or flea market or donating them to Saver's at least that way people know the item is used and that they can use it but not register it. I sometimes do not register all my games for months after I buy them, but, you can have a bad name on e-bay if someone reports that they can't use the game for some reason.
