I just bought a big box of stuff and included in it are 7 Game Gear carts. I have no intention of keeping them or buying a Game Gear. So do you think I would do better listing them for auction individually, or should I just sell them as a lot? Will it make any difference price wise?

As a general rule, you get a little more when selling each title individually, but then you also have the hassle of 7 listings and 7 different packages to get ready and ship out. I tend to break things up unless I get lazy.

What games did you get? Someone here may be interested in buying or trading for them.

Sometimes I think it's better to sell as a lot. Especially if they aren't worth much. By the time you figure in the time you'll take to list all of them, package and ship them, and the listing fees it might have been better to just throw them all on as one lot.

just my 2 cents

Thanks, these were all things that I'd considered, just wondering how other people felt about it.

Usually, individual auctions will net more money... unless what you're selling won't sell by itself. For GG games, go for the lot.

Especially if they are the rereleases (Jungle Book, Sonic 2, etc.) I'd sell them in the lot. If you notice you have anything "semi rare" I'd seperate those from the lot (IE if you have Mickey's Castle of Illusion). But if you had that game, shoot me a PM, I'd take it off your hands. :D
