[Anonymous No.4386714]

I'm considering selling up my PSX and SNES stuff, I've got the guy at the local retro store valuing my collection now. But I'm still on the fence, convince me one way or the other. I can list off my stuff if it's helpful.

Donate it to a museum instead.

>>4386714
This >>4386719 or sell as a lot on Craigslist. You will make much more than what a brick 'n' mortar store will give you.

If you're completely set on it, sell the SNES shit via eBay. Keep the PS1 stuff since there is no flashcarts and Mednafen still isn't 100%

The guy at the retro store will "value" it at 10, maybe at best 20 percent of what it's actually worth.

Your stuff is worth at least 2000$ on ebay

[Anonymous No.4386802]

>>4386791
That stuff is easily worth 4 digits.

[Anonymous No.4386806]

>>4386796
It's PAL shit son.

>>4386791
>>4386792
You have what, 57 games? And he's offering you 320 pooonds.

Do the fucking math. That's 5.60 a game. There's some desirable shit in there that game store owners love to have like the Final Fantasies, the Resident Evils, Silent Hill.

Only a few SNES games are junk. Most of them are easy sells.

You'll get taken for a ride at 320. Put in some more effort and you could get 500+ easily. I don't know PAL prices.

tldr if he's offering you £320, he's offering you at most 45% of what your collection is really worth, and as scummy as 25%

Just sell it off on ebay or amazon. (If you want to thank me I'd accept that Parodius cart ;^) )

its a 3rd person shooter, its pretty cool but the controls are archahic and take some getting used to

[Anonymous No.4386913]

>>4386912
Yeah seems it was only released in Europe, Oceania and Japan so go figure I never heard of it

[Anonymous No.4386946]

Hm, reminds me of Hard Edge for some reason

keep the consoles
keep the SNES games with special chips (search on wikipedia lists of snes cartridges with special hardware); so that you can get a flashcart to play all the other regular cartridges.

be sure to check individually each game on ebay, you might have some dumb but weirdly rare and expensive game.

and in the end of it, like others said, if you just want to get rid of the it all anyway, DONT SELL TO A STORE, since they'll have by logic to pay you half of less of what its worth to resell it at profit, minus fixed operation costs.
you can just sell at -20% regular price at ebay cragisls etc in a hurry and be done with it, any internet reseller will jump at your stuff just to resell it individually and make some small profit wasting their days ebay, you get a good price for your shit, and get to go on happy believing they are making good use of their time and everyone is happy.

sell it to a store and get pissed the next day when you see your shit at 2,5x markup on showcase

>It's PAL shit son
SNES PAL shit often sells for more than the US versions. You'll easily make more on Ebay.

[Anonymous No.4387951]

>>4386905
Of course he offer less than 50% of the "real" value, he wants to make a good profit out of it
That's what I hate stores for that shit, keep it seller to buyer, fuck the middle men.
