Downsizing Video Game Collection - Advice on how to price and where to sell?
shateredsoul1979:
Hi Everyone,
I went a little overboard with retrogaming in the past few months, and realized I want to scale down. I've decided to keep the nes, snes, ps1, and genesis for nostalgia and current gen systems (wii, xbox 360 and ps3). Any advice on what to price these lots at? Maybe give an opinion on what you think I could get if I was patient, but what I should price them for if I want to sell sooner.
Here we have a bunch of USA and Japanese Dreamcast stuff. I'll just do lists

Dervacumen:
Don't know about the stuff you have, but I carried my Atari 800 stuff around for 20 years before I decided to part with it because the going price was never what I thought it should be. I hooked up with a guy at the atariage forums and let it go for what I would consider a seriously low ball offer, and only because I happened to be traveling to Reno and he met me there... But I got what the market would give me, and that's all I have to say about that. Collections are almost never worth what you think they might be. I've sold a ton of stuff at way below "market value" because I was ready to get rid of it. And you know what? I'm happy I don't have that crap to worry about any more.
Not trying to be a downer, just relaying my experience.

I know what you mean, there's something liberating about getting rid of stuff you don't use anymore. I'm just hoping to do that and have some cash left over.
Blanka:
You are really limiting your options.
What about a decent classified site, not location-bound crap like craigslist?
What about a webshop
What about a webshop that does not need much maintenance cause you are one of many: read Etsy. It may be chicks domain mainly, but it needs more guys stuff, and there is already a bunch of vintage game sellers and searchers there.
I would say: make fixed prices at a fun level: the buyer is happy that he can buy reasonable priced stuff, you happy as it goes fast, no big ebay fees, no ugly ebay listings.

Thanks for the recommendation! I Hadn't even thought about etsy, my wife's friend sells stuff on that website. I'll check that out, for now I setup a sales list on here and racketboy. I'll see if I can do etsy over the weekend, it seems like I'd have to do a page for each item right?
