Board 8 > So where do people sell older games and stuff nowadays?

(+) Yeah! (+)

You know, since apparently you can't just do it here now. I need money in a desperate way and have no idea the best method to do it. I hate to do it individually with an auction on eBay but I will if it's the best option.

Well personally I use a few methods depending on what it is:

- Different forums that have a Trades/Sales section. Best way to find serious buyers if the forums are dedicated to a specific console &/or Genre of games.
I've found this the best method for trading buying and selling rare and valuable items.

- Local adds like Craigslist for common things but expect to get a million people wasting your time

- Discords dedicated to a specific system that offer sales section

I havent ever sold to a Retro store in my area as they offer bottom tier prices but if you desperately need cash it's an option. Ebay sucks as it protects the buyer way more than the seller who gets absolutely no protection. Even with PayPal it's hard these days as a seller.

What are you selling btw >_>

I use ebay

Just use buy it now and require instant payment instead of auctions.

Does Ebay still hold your money for like 3 weeks though even with proof of shipment if you're not a frequent seller?

Yeah I sell all my unwanted games on ebay with buy it now. It usually provides a trend price too so if you want it to sell quickly just price a bit below that.

Theoretically what are you selling and how much are you asking for? Just "curious" to see how much you "list them for on ebay"--certainly not an offer to buy them here via PM.

Not sure. I sell maybe one thing a month and I always have instant access to it.

I think that only happens when your account is new and you need to build feedback up

I offloaded nearly my entire collection at a local store (and as a former "hardcore gamer", I had a lot of rare shit). I brought in over $1500, although that wasn't all at once.
