    Yeah...quite a few goodies there....

    A few questions though

    How come you opted to sell them together rather than apart? You would probably make a lot more that way.

    What is the reserve price?

    And $12 shipping?! It would cost only around $3 via media mail or $5 via parcel post. I don't mind the overcharges in shipping as I realize there are hidden costs, but when they get to be two or three times the actual amount....

    Yeah I hate those shipping charges. Theres this one person on ebay that sells hundreds of NES games. But they want $4.50 PER GAME for shipment, and they will NOT combine shipping. I mean come on. I bought 31 games together, and the actual shipping label from the postal service was 10.61. If I buy just 2 games from that person, im paying almost as much as it costs for 31 games/nes advantage, 2 controllers and a light gun costs.

    Well, I've never sent more than 2 games at a time, and that cost me $3.20.


    Its 6 games. $9.80.

    So I made it $12, to buy a mailing box, and tape, and I think tracking is $1..?

    Its not too bad, I thought.

    No one will buy it from me. I have this cloud that floats above me.

    Thanks for looking though.

    Okay I can understand that. Here's a few hints from a fellow seller though, media mail costs much less than parcel post. True, its slower, but most bidders don't have a problem with it if you tell them up front.

    Tracking costs $.45 for parcel post, and $.55 for media mail.

    I agree, boxes are friggin expensive. So are peanuts and bubble wrap. Reuse is the key here, and if you sell in large quantites, will easily save you over $100 a year. It might take a while, but if you scout out some dumpsters, you will fine the optimal ones for boxes and packing materials.

    And again, sell seperatly. You've got several great titles in this lot, but most bidders only will want 1 of those games, and won't pay the extra money to get 4 others that they don't care about.
