What the dick. What am I supposed to be doing here?

Low effort bait thread. Kill yourself

Tell us what game you’re trying to sell.

>>11896340 (OP)
sorry op,
best I can offer you is $10 for your copy of wiisports

Look at sold prices on the marketplace where you are trying to sell, price it in that ballpark, wait.

What game are you selling?
Outside of Nintendo games there's surprisingly little extra value in sealed games, due to basically nobody doing fullsets for non-Nintendo especially sealed.
Thus the price for like a sealed PS2 game isn't in the context of someone completing their sealed collection, but rather for just that individual game where it's usually fuck all extra value.

Also sell a bunch of cheap shit and give good customer service so you have a transaction history and high rating, so you come off as trustworthy. I say cheap shit as with more money on the line you run the risk of assholes and or disputes.

But what I'm asking is why there's such a discrepancy in what games are supposedly "meant" to sell for, and what they ACTUALLY sell for. You would think the latter would dictate the former.

>>11896485
I would, but I need money right the fuck now, and as much as I can get. I'm only selling them because I was saving them for a rainy day.

Mega Man Zero 3. It's a GBA game. I assume that's what you meant by Nintendo game, unless you mean a game literally made by Nintendo.

Quick sales come from people finding what they think is a deal and jumping on it before someone else does. It is fear of missing out. Think about it from your perspective, if you see something you want for cheap, and have the money, you will probably buy it ASAP. For something close to average price people are left time to procrastinate, and those looking to sell may have to wait a long time. You can also try an auction site that lets you set a minimum price, but if you set it too low you can end up getting fuked.
You probably have a bunch of little things you don't want or need anymore that you can sell for cheap. It adds up, you just have to go through the pain of listing and shipping it. Old clothes and shit are also easy to sell as long as they are in good condition. Sometimes I check Craigslist free section, go get it then sell it.

>Mega Man Zero 3
With GBA games they're usually sold loose, with boxes being kinda rare due to portable games plus flimsy cardboard boxes. Looking on Pricecharting it's 30 for a loose cart, but 100 with the box so no casual buyer is buying it CIB.
So you end up with a tiered structure for collecting GBA games
>loose
This is where your actual demand is, the people playing these games, the people who aren't buying to resell, the people who just want to own like an entire Mega Man set or whatever.
>cib
This is where your collectors live due to the added price premium. These are gonna be displayed on a shelf, or as part of a larger Mega Man collection.
GBA games CIB is kind of a rare hobby due to the boxes being a bit of a pain in the ass to find plus the insane price premiums.
Just think about it, this game's three times as expensive for a boxed vs cart only, multiply that by the entire GBA collection of thousands of games and you can see why even boxed GBA collections are rare compared to loose carts.
>sealed
Even more niche. Basically nobody is buying sealed GBA outside of few specific collectors, or resellers who get these for cheap as either random finds of parts of larger lots only to then flip them for that 100 bucks extra that sealed copies are "going for".
Sell it for 25 bucks loose, I guarantee you'll sell it within a week. Put it for 80 buy-it-now as CIB and it'll be gone within hours. 250 bucks for sealed and you could be waiting for months, as you're not only looking for the perfect buyer but also competing with everyone willing to settle for less.
150, offers accepted, wait for someone to hit you with 130 or 120, counter with 140 and sell it within a month assuming your ebay account isn't some massive red flag with tons of negative reviews.

This board is for the discussion of classic, or "retro" games.
Your problems selling stolen goods isn't that, Jamal.
