Right now you go to your friendly neighborhood discount store like a participating K Mart. They will give you a catalogue that gives the prices you can get for your video game. I understand you can either have cash or you can use the credit on selections from their rack of previously played games. So far, so good.

When the site opens up it will not only be buy/sell it will also have reviews of games, advice on playing them, chat sessions etc. As far as I can so far determine, buyers will have a choice (with pre cleared credit) of being mailed, couriered or delivered to a participating store of their choice - presumably at differing costs. Sellers (and I am not sure of this) could have the option of mailing or routing them through the local store.

These are my speculations and the site will not open until the summer but there was a recent release describing the profile of a possible site. Incidentally, GTR's logistics handling all these video games both into and out of their Toronto plant has won some favorable trade comment.
