  1. It really just depends on how badly you want it. It's high right now because of christmas and it's almost tax refund season. So it will be going up even more as people get their checks. Summertime is the time to buy. You should be able to reasonably get a cart for $40 shipped or so in fair condition on an online forum. Don't buy it on amazon if you're trying to save money though. their prices hike the highest of all the marketplaces during the holidays and tax season.
  2. One thing to keep in mind is that you can mail things first class parcel and print your shipping with paypal. You kind of need a scale to do this, either that or you can get people on here or other places on the internet to help with estimating weights. A scale isn't a huge investment though and you can probably buy one for 10 dollars or less shipped on ebay that will do the job. This makes games cost about 2-3 dollars to ship, and if you only have one or two to mail you can probably just stick them in your mailbox or drop them off in a drop box. If you have bigger packages you can schedule a USPS pickup(for priority only) and they will get your packages for you(no waiting in line) Don't buy mailers at the post office, that's waaaayyy too much. Either buy them in a box on ebay or somewhere like sam's club(25c per mailer) if you have a card. Even buying them in a 10 pack at walmart is cheaper(about 50c per mailer) Don't forget free priority mail packaging. Regional rate boxes can be a good deal and don't require that you weigh them. You can order supplies on the USPS website. Plan ahead, it can take a while for stuff to get to you. Sometimes it makes sense to use UPS or Fedex. If it's more convenient for you to drop off at these places, prices are usually similar or less for bigger packages. You can also print UPS postage from paypal, not sure about fedex. Ebay and Amazon It's true that fees are high and that bites, but the other side of the coin is that you can usually get more for your items on ebay and amazon as well. This makes up for the differences because of fees. Example: No one on here or Nintendo Age is going to pay $65 for super smash bros(N64) but that is precisely the minimum price(any condition) on Amazon right now. Not to mention that popular items like that on Amazon tend to move pretty fast.... Downside is you have to wait 3 weeks to get your money. For less common items and smaller dollar items, I would definitely bring them here and make package deals for people. Less hassle overall and less total waste on shipping and mailing supplies/trips. Plus people on forums tend to be easier to deal with and you can screen out bad buyers. Take pictures of your stuff and post prices, but IMO if you have to pick, it's better to have prices and give pics on request than to have pics and give prices on request. Be ready to ship to Canada/International, lots of people will want you to ship to their country. IIRC, First Class International now has delivery confirmation to select destinations, and you can print the postage online(but I think you have to do it from the USPS website and not paypal, but you can still pay USPS with paypal... weird). Selling internationally will help move things a lot quicker, you just have no idea how much money these people are saving by buying in bulk on forums and such rather than picking up individual items on ebay. It's crazy. As far as pricing things, VGPC is a good tool, but it's a good idea to look at completed listings too. Lots of things can affect the price of an item. Another helpful tool is www.camelcamelcamel.com which will give you amazon pricing and ranking data.
  3. I'm not sure what sort of price you were thinking, but If you're not interested, all you need to say is that you'll pass. The information that I haven't tested a lot of this stuff was available to you before you posted.
  4. I am not sure yet, I will have to check it out, but it's about 12am here and I need to crash soon. I actually just picked that up today along with a parker bros 5200 cart with no label :-/ but I don't have a 5200 right now to check it out with. As for the keyboard controller and driving paddles, I have not tested them so I am not sure how well they work yet. Pricing will depend on their functional status. What's a good game to check out the keypad with? I'm thinking probably 5-10ea on the driving paddles and 4+ship on the keyboard controller + ship
  5. Most of these games are untested. I do not have a good working colecovision at the moment. I don't have a 5200 with me at the moment. I haven't been through most of the 2600 games, I can test them. Please ask about conditions. Some(well quite a few) of the controllers have rattling stuff in them. A lot of this stuff hasn't been tested yet. If I got down to writing notes on every single item, I would spend forever making notes and probably get distracted and not finish making the thread :-) it's happened before :-( I will add prices as I get to adding them. In the meantime, For offer. Generally basing things on VGPC, I will give deals. You do not need to justify your offer, just make it and I will accept, counter or decline. If I decline it doesn't mean I'm offended or anything, just means the offer isn't for me. I would prefer to ship multiple items at a time. As a general rule, I would prefer to keep shipping cost at $4/$1 or better. So a dollar in shipping for every 4 dollars sold. It's a time/available packing materials thing. As long as we're cool on this front, I will ship to Canada or anywhere. Trades: Right now I am only looking to sell. Prices do not include shipping. If you make me an offer, make me an unshipped offer. I try to keep shipping costs as low as possible for people buying from me. If you need a shipping quote, I'd be happy to get you one.

Hockey sold I Haven't decided which ones of these to sell yet, but I'm pretty sure I'm hanging onto mmx2 and kendo rage. Most of them(most of the higher value ones) do not have manuals. Some of the carts need to be cleaned up. No cartridges for aladdin(well, that and yoshi's cookie are there but I'm keeping them ), star wars, taz mania, yoshi's cookie. If you want to shoot me an offer on something, have at it. However, I'd be more interested in getting manuals for some of them. That's about the only thing I'd trade for right now. You'll notice that some of the games have price tags on them. That's because I took some games down to the flea market to sell. There is some flex on prices. For instance, I can do 15 for that sealed copy of silent hill downpour(a few of the other games are sealed too).
  6. For some games you can use nero discspeed to check for problems. However some games you won't be able to check like that(xbox and wii come to mind, as well as dreamcast)
  7. I think 38 is ballpark. It's cheaper than the lowest BIN on ebay right now, and that copy is only in "acceptable" condition. His looks like its in pretty good shape.
  8. Prices do not include shipping. I charge actual shipping cost. I print my postage online when possible. For now, shipping is only to the US. Prices are not set in stone. This is mostly true for people who want to buy several. I tried to make things a little organized but I'm not really sure I was all that successful. Thumbnails have their games listed alphabetically below them. Click on the pictures for larger images. I can't test 7800 or 5200 carts. If I can get to the pins, I'll clean them, but I don't have easy access to either of these systems right now. questions can be directed to PMs or my email at mcrophge at gmail.com.
