So I've decided to sell most of my collection. Question is, should I ask for what the market says they are worth? Or should I just give them away for a couple bucks a piece?

Discuss.

>> No.1034725

Sort and sell the high ticket ones and group the cheapos

Seek out collectors and give them deals. That way, you know your games will be appreciated and not end up in the hands of resellers or hipsters.

>> No.1034773

If you don't know, use eBay

Start each game at 99 cents. If they're worth more, they'll go up, don't worry

I'm not selling to resellers. I have this thing about people making money off of things I sell them. It's called fuck that.

You could try the BST thread, OP.
>>1010620 (Cross-thread)

You will have to worry about resellers, of course, but that goes without saying.

>>1034725
This, as well. Games that are rare or highly sought after can be sold individually, but cheaper games would be easier to offload in lots. You could also probably group games within a franchise, like Megaman 1-6 or Castlevania I-III, for example.

>> No.1034791

The best solution to your conundrum, OP is to trade them.

I suggest for either a car or a gun.

>kinda rare now since they're old

this isn't even close to the case. The only games that are considered rare are games that saw a limited print. games like Earthbound, chrono trigger, little samson, duck tales 2, chip and dale 2, etc AREN'T rare. they're just not entirely common, but regardless, people feel like marking them the fuck up

It depends on what you want to do. I sold my games for below market value because I wanted to get good buyers who would treat them well and actually wanted them. Of course, people can lie, but you have to be the judge for yourself. I just want the future to be brighter for video games.

If you want to sell them for market or even above market value, I won't judge you for it.

>> No.1034821

I'm selling a lot of my "rare" or "expensive" games mostly because I could really use the extra cash and I'm sitting on several hundreds worth of games right now.

Stick 'em up on the BST here and work out deals with fellow /vr/ troopers.

To be honest, though, games tend to go for less when they're in a lot, but they garner a lot of interest from buyers. For more popular items like that you might be best off ebaying them, because they can go a lot higher than what you'd get from randoms.

Again, there's always the risk of resellers looking to scam cheap games and flip them for profit.

I mostly trade for things because I want to build my own collection, but depending on what you've got I might be interested in buying some.

>> No.1034831

sell them for what they're are worth to you.

This attitude right here means your initial question was bullshit and people have already told you how to get the most money. Sell super rares individually, series as bundles and crap games in larger bundles grouped by genre. The only additional advice I can give is to consider including a console with each of the crap bundles.

I have my doubts you're even serious though.

Only ones I don't have a personal copy of myself. I've played the first Adventure Island game but I barely remember it, the rest I never played. Not even Gyromite, I just never got around to it.

Considering most of the people here are either

>Sell mario 3 for $25
or
>Sell Little Samson for $15

I wanted to get people's opinions. What if I were to tell you that I was a reseller ?

>>1034869
Adventure Island Series is fun as hell. You should definitely play them. Gyromite I'm selling mostly because it has the famicom converter in it. If it was a regular version I'd literally give it away for free if someone was looking for it.

I'm not looking for a bargain but I'm not hard pressed to buy anything either, as I mostly trade.

Plus I'm buying backissues on comics right now and that's eating up a lot of my hobby cash.

If you're willing to hold onto them for a week I'm not opposed to that, depending on the shipping.
