Games for Sale

Timothy's picture

To mimic dhex's prior postings, I have some games for sale. Being that I hate, hate, hate paypal, these are up on Amazon Marketplace. The listings are here. Inventory:

GTA Vice City - PS2
Armored Core 2 - PS2
Castlevania: Lament of Innocence - PS2
Destroy All Humans - PS2
Front Mission 4 - PS2

Neverwinter Nights 2 Expansion Pack: Mask of the Betrayer - PC
C&C Renegade - PC
Arcanum : Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura - PC

Viewtiful Joe - Gamecube
Lord of the Rings: The Third Age - Gamecube

I'm still debating whether or not to sell Windwaker and Soul Calibur III.

EDITED - All sold games removed, because I can't get the strike tag to behave.

Re: Games for Sale

I probably shouldn't have spent the money, but I did, and now I'm glad. And there's nothing you can do about it, Timothy. So there.

Re: Games for Sale

I had some really weird shit happen with my account - strange deposits and reversals for large sums, a dispute initiated against me for a lot of money by some weird spammer or something. Basically, I don't trust their security and they can go to hell.

Re: Games for Sale

Question: do those of you who've done the cheap game sale thing think it's worth it? I'd think after shipping and all it would be more annoying than worth it to the seller. The wife wants me to dump some games since I don't really have a good way to store them.

Re: Games for Sale

i use paypal, so it's been fairly painless for me. plus it's a gift that keeps on giving (to someone else).

Well, with Amazon they credit you $3.99 per item for shipping. They also take a comission, but on smaller dollar amounts they basically balance out. I think the most I've spent on shipping was $4.80 for "expidited" which they credited me $6.99 for...so it's worked out pretty well for me. Gross I've pulled down $300, minus shipping supplies that's more like $265 or $270, but I'm still definitely in the black pretty far.

Now I'm interested. Do you do UPS, USPS, something else? It seems like it always costs me $5-$6 to ship anything other than a letter ...

Re: Games for Sale

I've been sending anything that isn't "Expedited" through regular USPS. A game sized bubble mailer (6x9) with packing slip tends to weigh ~5-6 oz. That's been working out to 1.50 or so in postage. Plus the cost of the mailer, which is like 60 cents. So I'm not making pure profit, but I'm definitely in the black. Expedited shipping I've been going with priority mail, which is cheap and comes with a tracking number. As of now I'm like $330 ahead because the last two games worth real money sold. I think I've sold 23 or 24 games and spent a total of $35 on shipping, plus another $10 or $15 for envelopes.

Somebody named Tim is getting an xbox 360.

I am glad for the non-coercive bit, for sure.

Re: Games for Sale

hey now i also threw in some houses on baltic avenue. it's an up and coming neighborhood.

diablo 2 is pretty sweet. i know it's basically the heroin of games (i.e. lots in with no real return) but damn i love heroin.

i should really finish mask of the betrayer one of these days.

Of course, Monopoly comes with a credit card / ATM contraption now, so the old colored paper is totally deprecated.

Re: Games for Sale

my final hurrah before either biting the bullet and hitting ebay or finding some other way to dump this stuff:

PC GAMES
area 51
blacksite: area 51
call of cthuhlu
condemned: criminal origins*
deus ex - invisible war(t)
gears of war
hellgate: london*
medal of honor: pacific assault
Neverwinter nights Platinum
painkiller (gold)
rainbow six: lockdown

someone has expressed interest in hellgate and condemned already, but that may change.
