although both Eide's and The Exchange both have a "trade for store credit" thing going on, i personally would rather use my store credit at Eide's than The Exchange because Eide's has a wider selection of things that i, personally, like.

if you're just looking for the be$t bang for your buck, i still believe Eide's is your best bet. they're all annoyingly pretentious...i get that. but they know their stuff and will give you a fair price. if you walk in with a bunch of disney VHS clamshells and expect top dollar, you'll get a hearty laugh all the way out the door. walking in with some rareties would make you a preferred customer for life.

also, and anyone from The Exchange * or * Eide's can correct me if i am wrong, i think The Exchange looks at "what did this item fetch on ebay lately?" and they'll price the item according to that. i do not believe Eide's does that. i hate when "experts" rely on ebay prices to determine value.

hope that helps!
