Selling Sega games - How do I go about it?

[Guntz]

I'm wanting to part with a bunch of games for SMS, Genesis and Sega CD. Roughly 10 games for each platform. I was thinking of just splitting everything into three lots (by platform) and slapping them on eBay. There isn't really anything rare, expensive or popular I'm selling, except for my CIB Jaguar XJ220. I know there's some people here who are still looking for one, but I was also thinking it might help get rid of my crappy FMV SCD games.

I don't really want to make up a list, but if it'll help determine the best plan of action, I'll do it.

Uhh, before anyone asks. I'm not selling a ton of sports games or outright bad games. These are games that have very little value or notability. Or at least, as far as I can see. I don't keep up with values or notoriety with these games. I just play them.

I think most of us here would like to see what you have, and give us first dibs, before you put it on ebay... But a list would be nice!

If you are going to sell them on eBay I'm not sure how I would go about splitting them up. Splitting them up by platform is any interesting idea. One giant lot is also appealing. Make sure mention any positives you have, fast shipping, etc. I like to give them a reason to buy them, "These would great in your vintage video game shop or in your collection, flip them on Amazon ". I know you would, but also mention any condition issues and in fact over emphasize them. People love that, it makes you look more honest.You can also look at what is being bid on to get an idea what works.

Sorry, I couldn't help myself. I know lots of people like Columns, but I can stand it. I have no problem mentioning that 'game' in the same breath as Loadstar.

Do you accept Paypal? I might be interested in your copy of Alex Kidd in Miracle World.

[Guntz]

Yes I take Paypal. Though I notice you're in Uruguay. Knowing Canada Post shipping would be murder.
