Depends if you want to bring them back into your house. I priced mine at $2.00 each. My son (who owned the games), said to just give them away. Customers do not know if they actually work, so they don't want to overpay. To your second question, no I would not. $35 tops!
Understand that I don't look at garage sales as a time to make money, rather I look at them as a time where people pay me a little bit of money to haul my crap away.

I would go or call a few "game stop" like stores that sell used games and see what they are going for. Then price them cheaper than the store ones as those come with a return policy if they don't work.

I'd sell to GameStop or glyde.com.

Target had a deal a while back that they would pay double the price they normally do for trade ins so I told my son and we took advantage of that.
He had 8 he wanted to trade in and they took 4. But at double the price, it was like he traded in 8.
I don't know how often Target does that, I found out about it by accident.

DS is heavily into video games, and I often look for them at yard sales. My cap is around $5 unless it is something that has released in the last couple of months (which I've never actually encountered lol). If you want to get more than that I would look at Gamestop or another used game buyer.

I would take the games to Gamestop or a place like that.
Well the Geotrax on Craigslist or eBay. You will get a lot more money that way.

I wouldn't pay more than $5 for games at a garage sale.
If I am going to spend more than $5 I would rather buy from GameStop, ebay, amazon marketplace, etc. because then I have a recourse if the game does not work or is damaged. I know I can return it and get my money back. There is no such protection at a garage sale. Therefore I'm not willing to pay those prices at a garage sale.
As for the geo trax, no. Absolutely not. $35 would be about my limit on those and they would have to look like they were in perfect condition for me to pay that.

I wouldn't sell them at a garage sale. I would do as others have suggested and take them to gamestop or check Best Buy and Target for their buyback specials. Your son would get far more going that direction. My son is really into gaming and this is what he does. The Target deal recently was an awesome special.

Gamestop is not likely to pay a lot for Madden or the NCAA games, though-- since they have dates on them, they are quickly obsolete. Once out of the calendar year, SO says they usually sell used at Gamestop for $6-8, which means they pay far, far less. They might not even take them at all.
