Selling old games

What's the best way to sell old games, ebay or a store like gamestop?

Re: Selling old games

Its more convenient to sell back to EB or Gamestop cause you don't have to deal with listing the item, shipping, etc., but you won't get as much money as you would on ebay.

Take pk500's words and go the Ebay route my man. Best point I can bring up is you'll at least get cold hard cash instead of in store credit. If that does'nt convince you, nothing will.

Re: Selling old games

One word: eBay

With UPC code listing and cookies to remember all of your information for shipping, it's a snap to list games on eBay. Simply type in the UPC code for the game, and the game title, game description, a picture of the box and your shipping information will already be included in the listing. Set your opening bid price and the duration of the auction, hit continue twice, and you're golden.

A f*cking chimp could do that, and it takes about three minutes. Half.com is good, too, but it charges higher post-sale commissions than eBay. It's just as easy, if not easier, to list items on eBay than half.com now.

You will get ripped off blind with trade-ins on nearly every game unless it's a very hot new release. Avoid in-store trades like genital warts. Plus, it's pretty damn hard to pay for purchases on eBay and elsewhere with EB credit.

There's nothing like chilly, lovely cash.

Take care,
PK

I don't have a digital camera to take pictures of my games. Will that make it harder to sell on Ebay

Yea, as long as you list in the description that it comes with the original box and instructions, you should do fine.

Not at all. If you use the UPC code to list your item, a photo of the box cover automatically appears in the listing for free. You never have to take a single snap of any camera.

No muss, no fuss.
