Greetings, I'm trying to slim down my collection by getting rid of some games I know I'm probably never gonna play. I definately don't want to trade them into a game store, so I figure I might ebay them. I'm just looking for advice from some experienced ebay users here.

Some of the games are still sealed, others have been opened, but all of them have the box & manuals and are in excellent condition.

Would I be better off selling the games as a lot, or trying to sell them individually? Any advice would be appreciated.

Here's what I have:

Xbox:
-Worms 3D
-Guilty Gear X2 #Reload
-Genma Onimusha (sealed)
-Dance Dance Revolution Untramix 2 (sealed)
-Outlaw Volleyball (sealed)
-Kung Fu Chaos

PS2:
-Batman Rise of Sin Tzu (sealed)
-Maximo Ghosts to Glory
-Maximo vs. Army of Zin
-Ridge Racer V
-Stretch Panic
-Virtual-On Marz
-WWE Smackdown vs Raw
-WWE Smackdown Here comes the pain

GBA/GBC:
-Mega Man Xtreme
-Mega Man Xtreme 2
-Sega Rally Championship
-River City Ransom
-Bionic Commando Elite Forces
-Sonic Advance
-Advance Guardian Heroes
-Mega Man Zero
-Mega Man Zero 2 (sealed)
-Final Fantasy Tactics Advance (sealed)
-Mega Man & Bass (sealed)
-Tony Hawks' Pro Skater 2

Just do some research and see what the games sell for in a completed item search. If you like what you see, sell them individually. If not, put everything together by system and sell it as a lot. Generally speaking, you make quite a bit more money selling items individually but obviously you spend more time doing so.

Do you like eBay? If you don't mind dealing with eBay and all the "fun" that goes along with it, then I would suggest listing them each individually. If you hate eBay, cannot stand PayPal, and dislike dealing with people, non-paying bidders and general complainers, then list them as a whole lot.

I think you will get more $ individually. People buy lots for resale purposes, so that right there has to indicate that the parts are worth more than the whole.

Thanks for the advice folks, it's much appreciated.

I don't generally like the hassle involved when selling on Ebay. I'm either going to sell them as 3 separate lots (one lot for each console), or I might group certain games together, such as Mega Man Zero 1 & 2.

Not sure yet.
