Game Gorilla is a project that cousins George and Aaron Courtney are hoping to bring to life with support from the Indiegogo community, making it easier than ever for gamers to trade games with one another.
Trying to resell your used video games will never really amount to its original retail value, but what Game Gorilla proposes is a simple bartering system that has users swap games that they both want. From there, each trade would cost a fixed amount of $5 and includes a prepaid envelope for the game that goes to Game Gorilla HQ first for testing. Once the game discs have been proven to be in good working condition, the trades are completed and both parties get games that they want to play for a fraction of the price.
