eBay question

Cornell002

Hope this isn't marked as spam, it isn't meant to be, but I have about 60-70 Playstation 2, and Gamecube games I'm looking to sell on eBay, and I want to know the best way to do it. Should I do it in bulk, or separately? Is there a place where I can look up what each game is worth if I sell in bulk? I'd rather not let a rare one go for cheap. Thanks in advance

You can search for the game and then look at completed auctions, and it will give you the prices for any auctions in the last couple of weeks.

In regards to bulk vs seperate; You'll get more money seperate, but it's a lot more work than selling them bulk. Which do you value more, time or money?

Also, you don't need to look up the value of stuff, just set the starting bid to $1 plus shipping and handling, the people will bid them up to the value. Unless you were curious what they might be worth seperately.

Maaan, I wrote a whole long post that got deleted, but the gist of it is this.

Seperate is better, but since you have so many games, try bundling them to certain types (fighting/sports/adventure/puzzle) and pricing them that way.

Also, you can start the bidding at 1$, but people seem to really like the Buy it Now option, which is good because that means you can up the price a bit for the option of not having to bid. Therefore, I would seperate out games you know are common, and ones you aren't sure about, and to save time just price the ones you aren't sure. Common games go for about 10$, roughly.

Okay, I went through, I have 54 common PS2 games, and 2 rare ones (ICO and the original Monster Hunter), so I'm gonna sell the 54 in bulk. What is a good buy it now price? And what should I set shipping at? Keep in mind these are all basically mint condition, either owned just by me with the exception of one or two bought at Gamestop.

I will still try to answer you, despite that terrible bump.

Your buy it now price for the 54 games still depends on which 54 games you have. If they are all Disney movie games, or similar, it will be much lower than having the majority of them best sellers (even though they are common).

Really, you're not going to get an interested buyer for 54 random PS2 games, especially when I address your second question: shipping. 54 PS2 games will weigh around 17 pounds, before any packing material or boxing. That's going to cost a lot of money to ship, and no one is going to want to bother once they realize they're tripled their final bid with shipping.

You're better off selecting the most popular games and selling a small, handful of games. The rest you can pretty much chaulk up as a loss, see what a used game brick and mortar store will give you, or list them on Goozex for points.

Edit: Ok apparently US shipping is far cheaper than Canadian, so you're looking at $20 for ground UPS? That sounds wrong.

He can ship those "media rate". Really, really cheap. Probably around $10 or less.

EDIT: $8.62 apparently.

Yeah I later checked and realized it's not that expensive.

Just a little follow-up, the lot of 54 sold for 80 bucks in about 3 minutes



edit: nevermind, they retracted. What now?
