So last weekend when my parents came down to visit they brought 8 large tubs of my stuff with them, the last of my stuff at their house. Among it all I found a TON of controllers, RF switches, AC adapters, etc. Just like many of you, when I see cheap NES controllers, etc, at a thrift, I buy it, thinking I'll use it eventually, or trade it, or whatever. Well, now I have approximately 8 or 9 NES controllers, 4 DC controllers, 5 RF switches for various systems, even a brand new connector for a VCS, the kind that connects to the two screws on the back of old tv sets! I also found a Wico VCS stick and a couple extra VCS sticks.

After throwing out the useless ac adaptors for various cell phones and crap, I was left with enough stuff left over to fill a good sized-storage box to the brim. This is stuff I am never going to use, and I'd like to get rid of it.

What do you think I should do? Try and sell it as a lot here on DP? Break it up by individual piece? Ebay it? I'm open to all suggestions!

Each strategy has its best/worst.

Selling piece by piece may yield a higher overall price in some cases. Also is a bunch of trips to the pot office.

Sell as a lot and get the haggling, sample arguements "what if I only take these?", "how much for just this?"

Selling on DP seems like a good option. They have a feed back page to see who is who.

Ebay, can be a hassle. Deadbeat bidders, frauds, paypal issues.

Good luck. However you sell the stuff. I'd lean towards posting images here and doing an interest check in buying/selling.
