Title: Need advice on selling loads of game stuff
Post by: m1savage on February 06, 2008, 12:25:09 PM
It's come time for me to sell off most of my old/extra videogame stuff. PC FX and PC Engine stuff would be a no brainer as I'm sure I can post it here and someone will eventually take it off my hands. My question is, stuff like Jaguar, Genesis, 3DO, etc., would it be better to try and unload them on forums such as this, put it all on a website, or Ebay everything? Sell it all individually, or in big lumps? The problem is other than pc engine stuff, I really have little idea what other systems are even worth these days. Any advice from any of you guys who have done this recently would be appreciated.

Oh yeah, all the old magazines are still marked to go to esteban like they have been for the last two years.  :mrgreen:

I'd be interested in items that are complete and good condition as long as I don't already own them, haha.

Why have you chosen to get rid of your old stuff?

Why have you chosen to not type up a complete list and present it here to us yet :( .

Also,I kinda need a 3DO again...

I'd better clarify that I am keeping my pc engine collection other than some EXTRA stuff so it's not like I'm getting out  of gaming all together.  I'll probably keep some dreamcast stuff too. Other then that though, most of the rest of it will be leaving soon.

As for why, I'm not doing it thinking I'm going to get rich off of it or anything. The last time I did this was about 7 years ago when I cleared out all systems and stuff up through about the NES/Master System era. I find I haven't really missed too much of that stuff since then. Just time to do it again I guess.  :)

As for a list, that may take some time but if anyone is looking for anything in particular feel free to PM me.

Hahhahahhahahaa. Has it only been two years? I thought it was more along the lines of 3-4 years :)

I can't believe I'm actually in NJ now. I'm glad I didn't have to lug them across the country :)

If I have cash when you do this, I might be interested in some 3DO stuff.

Well I'm always interested in any NES shmups you might have. Any joysticks? Got anything MSX related perhaps?

You're not the only one who needs to get rid of old gaming stuff, Savage.  I have an Atari 2600, a NES, and a SNES that I need to hock off.  Unfortunately, nobody seems that interested in them anymore. :(

Nothing wrong with having some love for the SNES...I know I'd really love to be able to play Actraiser and Super Mario World again on the real thing. :D

Cool.  Now if I can find someone who wants a NES, I'll be in business. :D

I think the only SNES stuff I have left is a system, a few games and a super game boy thing. Never really got into the SNES for some reason.

I've got a shitload of games for the Atari 2600 and NES but only a measly four for SNES.  You guys are on your own in terms of cartridge hunting. :-({|=

if you could offer a nice NES or Genesis bundle I would possibly take it.   I'm bored and feeling nostalgic for my youth.   

edit: actually I need to call my mom and see where all that stuff disappeared to

You should have no problem getting rid of the Jag stuff on AtariAge.

I would possibly be interested in just about anything. PM me a full list when you get the chance, and I will look over it. Why not do a sales thread, that way everyone can look over it all?

Talking about me quoth? If so, what prices are you willing to pay for the systems based on what conditions?
