Price Check

[udisi]

well, I was asking for a price check, not a sale yet. Also I've received some very fair offers and some not so fair offers. $600 for the duo collection is not fair. $300 for air zonk, terraforming and godzilla is not fair. I also said, even to the fair offers that I'm not gonna do anything till after I get back from a trip.

I don't think $300 for the hu lot is fair. 37 boxed hu's / for $300 would be  $8 a piece. while maybe you can buy a world court tennis or something for $8, I have air zonk, soldier blade, etc, in that lot that I know are worth far more than that.

Those who made fair offers, know who you are and know the situation. Maybe I should have listed this in the discussion forum instead, though I'm sure I would have been bombard with offers then too. I'm looking for info atm, not a sale.

"$300 for air zonk, terraforming and godzilla is not fair"

These all could be nabbed for well under $300, even with Terraformings jump lately, and Godzillas jumping back and forth.

[udisi]

well air zonk CD by itself is $200 or better. been offer $250 alone for it here.

[nectarsis]

Air Zonk and Super Air Zonk are 2 very different games..and you stated it as the original

[udisi]

oh, agreed, air zonk Hu is far cheaper. I'm really not trying to argue prices... Hell that's what I came here for.

You need to sell them separate to maximize your return.

Ebay is a crap shoot. There are always $300 might and magics, there are always $180 Dungeon Explorer 2, $150 Godzillas, and $90 Air Zonks - so you know those aren't prices you can expect to sell at.  Like I learned in Grad School, Dynastic Hero is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.  That, and stay away from hookers with walkie-talkies.

Not to be a total 'terd in a punch bowl' d-bag, but three weeks ago a seller on ebay had roughly HALF of the SCD games you have listed, plus some gem Hucards, in a bundle that sold for $175 in a 7 day AUCTION.  No mis-spelled title, no crappy pics.  DE2, Exile:WP, Beyond Shadowgate, Order of Griffon, Vasteel, and about 20 other 'notables' for $175.  That auction has was noted in a thread here a few weeks back.

Break them apart here or eBay if you're looking to maximize your return.

Camelot, tis a silly place.

That was indeed a seven day auction, but it had a $175 BIN that lasted all of thirty minutes before someone snagged it.

I stand corrected, and remain jealous of the lucky winner.

The folks here love to help and will give you advice & thoughts, but you did say your likely going to throw it all on ebay, its like why bother saying anything else then.
Did not mean to come off bitter but the word "ebay" puts me in a foul mood!!

PS: it sounds like you have decided what is fair and what is not anyway.

[udisi]

I don't mean to sound like a dick either, I didn't name names on the offers.

who wouldn't buy a duo collection for $600?
Not looking for $300 for MM3 but not looking $100 either

I haven't sold anything on ebay in probably 2 years, I really don't like it either. In fact, once ever thing is settled, the duo collection will probably go to one user here who has made a good offer.  Just saying

Here's the thing as has been alluded to:  you're going to make the most money doing two things:
1.  Selling individually
2.  Selling on eBay with good pics and descriptions

But that being said, you will be packing and mailing 50-100 items.  You will be paying eBay fees.  You will likely have deadbeat bidders.  Those things together make a single, large sale attractive in this situation.  I'm sure you have good offers already and it'll make it easier for you in the long run to punt a bit of the $$ for the convenience.  Also, the variance in price on the items makes a lump sum purchase a bit more stable for you as the seller.  Probably.

Either way he's selling to me for $132.32 and a bag of donuts so you can all just move along.

I offered him $132.32 + bag of Cool Ranch Doritos. Crap.

Donuts.

If he pushed for krullers or bearclaws I would've pulled the offer though.

If you sell your collection on ebay you will get good money. BUT if you sell it here you know that people will appreciate it more that a fly by night collector.

The bummer deal with ebay is that the final value fees recently went up.  Numbers I saw put it around 15% on BIN auctions, 9% on regular auctions.  Paypal takes 3%, so you're looking at losing 18% or 12% respectively.  Thus something that auctions off on ebay for $300 could be sold here for $270 and you'd come out ahead.
