Any online stores worth selling too?

Feel free to move me to Buying/Selling if I'm in the wrong place :).

I recently moved from Southeast Michigan to New Orleans. I was selling Games/Magic cards at a flea market to make a living, and now it looks like I'll exclusively be doing Magic cards here in New Orleans. I've got 15 moving boxes full of random games stuff now, which doesn't include anything that glamorous. Probably 200+ loose GB/GBC/GBA games, a few hundred loose NES commons, a hundred or so loose SNES games, and so on. There might be 10-15 complete, sought after games in the whole lot, most of what I have left is basically the bulk kind of stuff that isn't the easiest thing in the world to sell.

So my question is, has anybody dealt with any reputable stores that offer at least SOMETHING for common games cartridges? Ideally, I could get $1-2 each on a lot of this stuff since thats what I probably have into it. Any help is appreciated!

I've sold to Atari2600.com, great site, although they deal with the old stuff. But you could take pictures and put the lots up on here or Atari Age and get interest. Common carts are in demand for the old Atari stuff, to do repro's with.

If you're looking to only get a couple bucks a game for commons, you might do well selling them here.

Just curious, why can't you also sell games in NOLA?

I went from having a booth at a flea market with tons of room, to have a small little corner of a board/card game store. Just don't have the same kind of crowd or space as I did before. There looks to be a huge market in NOLA though, but no stores to speak of anywhere. It's fascinating.

Honestly, you got two different issues here...

First, if the games are common, then there is a good shot that I or whomever else is a vendor of these games probably already has a bunch of them. In many cases, I have 30+ of a lot of common titles. Unless I'm getting stuff that expands my inventory, it isn't like I'm plowing through those 30 games and selling them quickly enough to pay much of anything for a bunch more of the same.

Secondly, shipping kills deals that are for a bunch of common stuff. If you're selling me 30 games at $1 that I can sell for $2 on average, if it takes $10 to ship those to me, I now have a maximum profit margin on those of $20. Take away the fees and whatnot that we pay when we sell things, and you're looking at a max profit of $15ish for these games, and if I have a bunch of them already, it might take me years of storing them to get to that point.

If you'd like to send me a game list, I would be happy to make you an offer, but it's very hard to offer enough to make it worth it to actually do. That's what you'll run into with a lot of stores online I think.

I would think the best way to deal with these would be to take one of each common you have for a certain system and bundle all those games with the console and put it up on ebay or craigslist for a new owner of the console.

Greetings,

We have a new marketplace for buying and selling games called UniSquare: http://www.unisquare.com/buy/22177/video-games/ . We don't charge any listing fees and you can list as many games as you want for as long as you want for free. The only fee we do charge is 2% commission, only if your items sell. It beats out eBay's $0.25 listing fees for every item, every 7-10 days (even if you don't sell anything), plus 9%-15% commission when you do sell. Regular sellers can also open up a free webstore with custom categories, color scheme, store search engine and create custom promo/coupon codes for your buyers.

Note, we are very new and only have a handful of games for sale. We are currently making a push to market in the used video game industry - get more games (or game consoles and accessories) for sale.

So if you are looking for a free place to set up your own game shop, please check out UniSquare. Remember, it doesn't cost anything to list your items and it's all free marketing and publicity. If you are a buyer, please bookmark us and check us out every now and then for new game listings.

Kind regards
UniSquare

I sent you a message OP would be interested in a large lot of commons.
