Don't want to ebay this wonderful lot.

[Fighter17]

BUMP!

[A.J. Franzman]

Good luck.

[jetset]

Holy cow! Are you serious?

[Red 5]

The sad part is that it is $40 cheaper on ebay !

 

(Unless you take into account the $65.00 shipping charges. Did you forget to mention you are

adding an official Atari Cement Block in the box?)

If you didn't know by know that USPS just raised their shipping fees up the ass.

 

I have to send something smaller (the Neo-Geo CD lot) and it cost me $50 with priority mail, DC number, and insurance.

 

There's always the Best Offer so I take anything into consideration.

I do know that the prices went up.

I live in CT and just shipped a 7800 with 20 games across the entire country for $16.00 Parcel Post.

 

To ship a 20 lb box (which is a HUGE over-estimate) from Connecticut to Beverly Hills 90210 would cost me

$65.00 for OVERNIGHT shipping.

 

Shipping for 20 lb box - coast to coast

Alright then some fuckface mess up at my post office (which is true actually).

 

I just came back from the post office and now the shipping is $35 for priority mail with DC number and insurance.

 

I didn't make the shipping quote from thin-air, I got it from the post office. Hate them sometimes.

Shipping costs aside, that lot would probably get $75 - $100 from a knowledgeable buyer. Maybe you'll get lucky and an ignorant noob will pay your price, who knows?

And for the record kiddies. I didn't "holy cow" about the shipping. (yeah I know...for once, blahblahblah)

I think you may have priced that too high, but the last time I said that the seller had some n00b come along and bin the item, which was an Atari with a few games also IIRC,

 

Good luck.

I think that is actually the fiirst time I ever saw (or noticed) a comparison between the S-Vid and composite. That's pretty smooth.

And the Modded Atari cost around $70.

 

Games are mostly $2-$3 a peice. Laser Gates is worth $10 alone.

 

Do you price the games by pennies?

In large lots of mostly commons, expect to get about $0.50 per game, give or take (yes, I know you have a couple of HTF titles in there -- list those separately if you want to maximize profits).

 

Consoles modded for composite and/or S-video usually sell for about $50 -- it doesn't really matter what you paid for it. If you got one of the "drop-in" mod boards, you'd be better off selling that separately too.

 

If you started this lot at $75, you'd be more likely to get some early bids. IMO, people who bid high are more likely to bid on an item if there are already bids. It's the "I don't know what it's worth, but if those people bid that much, it must be worth a little more" syndrome. Then once you have early bids, you'll typically see a gradual escalation to the market value. If you're lucky, you'll get a noob bidding war, and then you might see your desired $300 price tag.

Ya right. $2 to $3 each? Find me the buyer that will pay that and I'll be rich!!

 

do you price games by the pennies?

 

Stacks of dirt commons like those I sure do!

 

Your not gonna get $250, $200, $150 or even $100 for that stuff. Consider yourself lucky if you get more than $50 to $70 selling to someone who doesn't own an Atari and wants a starter set with a batch of commons.

Son of a bitch, you mean the ~1600 carts I have in the garage are worth ~$800?

 

 

 

 

 

Alright, enough fun and games, leave the dude and his price be. Some sucker will come along and buy it eventually, patience is a virtue. Everyone will be nothing but jealous then.

The $300 price tag is with shipping.

 

That's what I'm just looking for anyway.

 

Don't forget there's always the best offer button.

I can't believe some dumb fuck paid $180 USD for this lot
