Forums - Gaming Discussion - Any thoughts on best way to sell old games?

Ok, so I need people advice, particular those of you that have sold games in the USA or that work for stores like Game Craze. My parents are moving to a new house and I went over my old stuff. I had this ideal that I could save my games and play them later. Well, I found a crap load of shit that I just want to get rid off. So, has anyone of you sold old gaming stuff? What's the best way to sell it? Craigslist? Ebay? Pawn shop? Also, do you think I should sell any of these separately?  Here's the list of all the stuff I found:

Ebay and Craigslist are the best ways. You always want to sell it yourself so you set the price instead of pawning it or selling it to Gamestop for next to nothing.

A lot of games in the list are good. If I didn't own them all except for those I have no interest in I'd ask to buy a few of them from you. You could always make some personal sales with people here if they're interested.



eBay if you want to make a nice profit, and are patient.



Let me ask this then, if you were to sell it all together thru Craigslist, how much would you ask for?



I would definitely sell them on ebay. Take the time to list the games properly with a buy it now price and be patient. You have a bunch of quality games in there and you will definitely make some decent money. You should have enough there to at least pick up a PS4 and still have some money left over. It may take a month or two sell them all...but it will be worth it.

I have a really big Yugioh/Pokemon card store on ebay and sell some games as well and no doubt ebay is the way to go. Just make sure to ship the games with tracking if you are a new seller so when they arrive you can get your money. Almost all of the games you have listed will sell within 24 hours as long as you make it about 50 cents to 1 dollar cheaper then anyone else.

Depends on how much its worth to you, pricing when your not a reseller is all about what you as the owner would like for it. I see a few of those that i would take off your hands if you would be willing to sell on here :D

 

Ebay is your best place though but i could understand CL if you didn't wanna ship it.

About $580 on the mid to low side, I priced these by assuming that everything came with case and manual (besides what you said wasn't)and was in pretty good condition. Some tips if you list these on Ebay.

 

*Free shipping will gather more views and sales (free is 3 to 5 days mostly, unless you use the fast and free which is 2 to 3)

*Clear and close pictures are appreciated, especially of flaws.

*A clear,neat and informative description is helpful for buyers and make sure to list any flaws here as well (missing manual, cracked case, disc scratched, ect...)

*Buynow and Best offer options gathers more views.

*Click the option to block potential troublesome buyers as well as state payment is due within 24 to 48 hours in your description.

Check below!

Also i'm still interested in a few of these of your selling online :D



Don't sell it to Gamestop whatever you do. Your better off finding a person in real life or a buy off one of the site like ebay or craig's list.
