For $45 I'm going to get it and resell it. No gems, but a couple of good games AND game I want to play myself. The question is this.. I have only ever tried to sell games on ebay, Digital Press and GameTZ. Are there any places that you guys have had moderate success without paying rediculous fees? My bill for the past week on ebay is $75. That's 10%! I can accept PayPal fees being high because of the security and convenience but if I'm only keeping 75-80% of what I sell for then that closes my window on being able to buy things.

Gamegavel, Amazon, and the handful of other websites that deal with game trading are my options. If someone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

For certain things, Amazon is the way to go. You tend to be able to sell stuff for a higher price than on Ebay and the fees are comparable but get taken out of the total immediately instead of billed at the end of the month or whatever (which is a hassle if you don't budget for it). I've also had way less problems with buyers on there, but that might just be down to luck. (No chance of non-paying bidders tho.)

GameGavel can be really good since there's no fees, but you have to really promote your listings like crazy and stuff has a tendency to sit if it's fairly cheap.

Ecrater is another option. The interface is confusing at first, but there's no fees and it's a great way to sell cheap stuff without having to pay fees and basically lose money. And people on there do buy cheap stuff like crazy, making it a good safe bet for selling stuff like that Dreamcast lot (split up, of course).
