Selling game collection... where do I start?

Post by supermegaturbo »

My brother and I have decided to sell our old game collection. Rather than have it languish in our parents house like it has the past 5 or so years, we'd love to get the games into the hands of people who'll enjoy them as much as we have.

It's a very modest collection (~200 games) we've amassed over 20 years, but all in very good condition, some of it still mint in the box. I've scoured the internet looking for places to sell (eBay being the obvious choice), but something about just throwing it all up for auction bit by bit kind of puts me off. My question is, would Amazon or sites like this one be a better option? I'm not opposed to selling some of the less enticing titles in a lot, however. We're currently itemizing and detailing everything, and I'll definitely post the list up here whenever we're done (and the 14 day ban of new members on the marketplace is up :wink:).

So, any tips on where we should begin?

I have had the best luck with selling via forums like this one, but if you are looking for an alternative you can try Game Gavel if you put the word out that your items are there.

If you're selling over 200 items at once, I wouldn't research the prices in advance. Let people make offers, and research the value of whatever they're offering for before replying.

Also, pictures would be great. No need to take a picture of each game individually, go for 10 or more per image. It's always more appealing to buy stuff when you can see what it looks like.
