ZackeryH Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 So I put a few auctions on Ebay. I'll also post a few other things over the next few weeks since I'm getting rid of a lot of stuff. eBay Seller: ZackeryH321 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZackeryH Posted June 27, 2010 Author Share Posted June 27, 2010 Added Phantasy Star Online for Gamecube and Amazing Spider-Man #300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZackeryH Posted July 2, 2010 Author Share Posted July 2, 2010 Ico is about to end and the price is at $61 right now. That's lower than many of the other recent auctions. Added some more stuff such as the Fatal Frame games and a sealed copy of Valkyrie Profile 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZackeryH Posted July 5, 2010 Author Share Posted July 5, 2010 I'm re listing Wall Ball with a bunch of other Atari games to sell as a lot. Hopefully this will sell better. I'm no longer using reserve prices or Buy It Now. The expenses of doing all of that just killed me. Especially since half of the stuff didn't sell when my prices were actually lower than the winning bids from other completed auctions.

Zwackery Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Ico is about to end and the price is at $61 right now. That's lower than many of the other recent auctions. Hmmm. A search of recently completed eBay auctions shows that another sealed Ico sold for a Best Offer of $90, while yours is the next most expensive, and then many were sold, more cheaply (these were opened, and often included Shadow of the Colussus). I'm re listing Wall Ball with a bunch of other Atari games to sell as a lot. Hopefully this will sell better. I'm no longer using reserve prices or Buy It Now. The expenses of doing all of that just killed me. Especially since half of the stuff didn't sell when my prices were actually lower than the winning bids from other completed auctions. Again, hmmm. What other auctions are you citing? Just asking since various searches on completed auctions show particular results. Yes, reserves tend to scare away bidders, and if one asks why that might be the case, the answer probably is related to the seller setting an unrealistically high reserve disproportionate to actual market value. There are many price guides available for Atari games, and while none are truly perfect, and can indeed become outdated rather quickly, the price guides along with some research might result in some more accurate sales figures. While all it takes is a couple of crazily determined bidders to jack up an auction's final price, the general trend on the prices for many loose Atari carts has gone down over the years. YMMV.

ZackeryH Posted July 5, 2010 Author Share Posted July 5, 2010 Pretty much I looked up Ico about 10 days ago to see what the prices were on games. They ranged from $70 to over $100 for sold sealed copies. I put a reserve on Ico for $50. I'm pretty satisfied with Ico and Tomba 2. They got decent amounts. Not exactly to the level of some of those others. I put reserves too high on the other games using a combination of guides and some successful bids from other sellers where they sold copies for higher than $20. Putting a reserve for half of the average value worked for Ico and Tomba 2. Putting it closer to successful bids for the other games wasn't the best idea and now I have to pay the expenses for those Reserves. I'm new to putting things on there so I'm still learning the best way to go about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpendTooMuchOnAtari Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 That was a pretty fair deal someone got for the 2600 lot, wish I would have seen it sooner. I have been looking for a Wall Ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I come across one I'll let you know. I've found two of them so far but I've already sold them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
