Put some stuff up on eBay...mostly boxed 2600 games...

I've got probably another 100 boxed games I'm going to be auctioning, consisting of Atari, Imagic, and Activision, as well as about 7 systems with around 175 loose carts. I'll also have clothes, videos, some reef-keeping supplies & equipment, posters, and anything else I don't want to move at the end of the month when I get my house (hooray!).

 

Any patronage and advice is certainly welcomed.

 

Thanks,

Yeah, was just over at ebay and saw your items.I'm watching a few of them,just hope the reserve/buy it now prices don't keep people away...good luck

If I can give you one piece of advice, don't use reserve auctions on eBay, especially not for something as low as $10 in price. Also if you start it at $9.99 instead of $10 its cheaper. I've found that the exact same item will almost always sell less than normal if it has a reserve.

I think Chip is smoking something. I doubt anyone will buy the huge lots of games for a few hundred dollars. And some of the other single games are way overpriced. I remember picking up each Froggo game shrinkwrapped for like $6.00 each. $30.00. Bahah. Oh, well. It's your waste of money listing these things and who knows? You may get a loon to pay what you're asking.

That's fine if you doubt it, Phil, but I have to try it anyway. Getting a house is expensive, and getting new furniture for that house is expensive. Any iota of extra money I can get is what I need.

 

Plus, I don't price these auctions in the hopes that someone like yourself, or Albert, or Atari Pitbull, or *any* of the regulars around these boards will say, "Hey, look at all that stuff! I've gotta get me them games 'cause they're less than $15 each, BOXED!" No, I try and get the person that hasn't started a collection, doesn't know about the online community, and wants some nostalgia when they have money to burn.

 

On the Froggo game, I based it on the rarity guide here at Atari Age and nothing else. A rarity 4 game boxed and complete I can try and get $30 for. And hey, it's just the reserve price, anyway...if I got $20 for it and the auction ended, I can sell it for that much. You don't *have* to sell an item if it doesn't meet the reserve, but you *can* sell it if you want to.

 

I've already made $600 on my "reserve price loon-catching" auctions this week, all from Buy It Nows, so I must be smoking something of excellent quality...

 

 

Peace,
