toiletunes Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I'm thinning my collection, and I want to get rid of a certain cheap repro that was given to me a few years ago. It was originally made by a certain dubious individual. I've seen copies of this game go for $70 or more at auction, even when the seller makes it clear that it is a repro with no collector value. I don't want to toss it in the trash, but I wouldn't feel right watching the bids go up- how do I get rid of this thing for a 'fair' price? and what would a 'fair' price be? Note: the original label was of such a poor quality that I made my own, making sure to keep the ugly head intact... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accousticguitar Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 You could sell it here or on eBay for the price you paid for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toiletunes Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 that would be free. I might just do that. If I do, it will appear in the 'spreading the love with free games' section of the AA marketplace- free plus the cost of shipping. Thank you, I will mull it over for a few days.

icemanxp300 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 People buy and sell repros all day of diff. games. If it was mine I'd toss it on ebay, list it as a repro and enjoy the profits, thats just me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godslabrat Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Yeah, as long as you're honest about the history of the cart, I think keeping whatever profits you could get would be fine. Let's face it, we all need a few extra bucks these days. The history of the cart maker, however, I think could be left out of the auction description.

Shawn Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I'll give you $5 to smash it with a hammer on video. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 You could always sell it as a BUY IT NOW for that FAIR PRICE you were talking about, that way would not have to see the bids go up to that 'uncomfortable level'. HOWEVER, if you give FULL DISCLOSURE that it's a REPRODUCTION, and the people know what they are bidding on, I see no problem. No one will willingly pay more for something than its personally worth to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toiletunes Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 Thank you for all of the input. I have decided to give the game away. The recipient has promised to give it away to someone else when the time comes. Feel free to continue the discussion. Hopefully, this thread will help other people make similar decisions someday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
