ok I've been starting to sell my stuff...but everywhere I go there's always one jerk who protest my prices are too high, and somehow this retard crushes my chances to unload my stuff(it's at other places not here).

so the big question is how do you price your stuff

and here's a sample of what I'm asking prices for some guy who's trying to build a genny collection

Bass Masters Classic cart $3
Crystal's Pony Tale Pltfm Club cart...don't ask me why I have this - free if you buy everything
Frank Thomas - Big Hurt Baseball complete $5
Jeopardy! complete $5
Kid Chameleon manual former rental $4
Mutant League Hockey boxed $10
Pit Fighter complete $5
Twin Cobra complete $5
Wayne Gretzky NHLPA cart $3

I mean it's not like I'm asking for gamestop/eb prices on this stuff

feedback would be appreciated as usual

there are always people like that.......your prices are your prices......its just because they want to get you to sell it to them for cheaper.....there are exceptions though.......someone selling a broken combat cart for 50 bucks(that would be an exception) and that type of stuff shouldnt even get criticism, maybe the person is new to games. but youruglyclone....i find NOTHING wrong with your prices.......i think if people have a problem about your prices....they should talk privatley with you or just keep it to themselves

I based my prices on a combination of eBay rates, demand, and my need for quick cash. The more I need money, the lower my prices go. Basically, if someone thinks my prices are too high, I either ignore them or tell them to go buy it somewhere else cheaper. Don't let it get to you...just ignore the dicks. As for your prices being high...they most certainly are NOT. Excellent prices from what I see.

Your prices are your prices dont let anyone tell you otherwise, they can always choose to buy it from someone else. There is always one person that tries to badmouth about prices those are usually people that dont ever evem buy anything but I also base my prices on Condition sure you can get a copy of a game on ebay from some person that knows nothing about games and how gamers like thier games or you can get it from someone that can actually tell you what kind of shape it is in.


Thanks

I usually go by eBay prices, and price my stuff a little bit lower. People will always complain about your prices so they can get a better deal...just ignore them.

On a side note...wasn't POG looking for that Pony Tales game?

like i said when we spoke/met- it's ALWAYS something. usually, the idiot who's complaining never has any interest in your items and just want to be disruptive, or may have lucked out and found the same stuff at a flea market or goodwill for a bit less. BUT, dopes like that don't realize that, not everyone lives in a state where games fall out of the sky and end up at walk-by yard sales or once in a lifetime bargain bin bottom feeds. just ignore the haters and post on- the right buyer will come through eventually... :D
