Deliberately Orphaning Items - sell by piece

[Ro7co]

Let me know what you guys think of this seller splitting up a game for sale. Now I think I've seen it all...

I have no problem with it. I'll looks like he's trying to maximize his profits. I'm sure he'll make more selling them that way then if he just sold them as a complete package.

I'll be honest. I thought about doing this. It still makes its way to a collector and someone is usually gratefull to bring their game closer to being complete. This guy is asking a little too much for some of it though.

[tholly]

he has a good idea...but thats just too much to buy it all seperately

I ran across some one doing that.

He sold Dreamcast games disc only in individual auctions, and a large lot of about 30 or so cases and instructions and a dozen or so spare discs.

It worked really well for me since I only paid $1.87, and got a much needed Sonic LE case and manual, as well as a complete copy of RE:CV. I had to piece it together from several remnants, but I still got it :D

I'm not sure if it works well from a profit standpoint, but it works great for collectors striving for completion.

It's a shame to see a game like Chrono split up, but on the other had it does help collectors in the long run! :-P

But in saying that! some of the prices are alittle high!.. O_O

:vamp:..XS

I sell things separately if I have extras and find that a lot of people only want certain pieces like only the box or instructions and are willing to pay a little extra, rather than buy another game with instructions if they already have the game with the box. It goes slow though.
