For instance, I've pulled out about 35 NES games from my collection to put on a sell list that I am contemplating for real, but I have no idea what the best way to go about it would be. Nothing super valuable or rare in them. Of course I wanna get maximum profit because I wanna dump it all back into my collecting towards expensive games. When you bundle all together, resellers want it cheap. When you sell separate, it takes forever. I'm thinking like between $175 and $200. No sports, no shovelware. That's just based on what I've seen has sold similar, and I figure that's about what I've got in all of those too.
Selling takes time and effort, especially if you "wanna get maximum profit" for your stuff. You'll have many competitors that might be sellng the same game you're selling cheaper, so if you're not willing to leave a bit of wiggle room, then you'll have to be patient. The current ecosystem that eBay is bolstering is fierce in terms of visibility since they're prioritizing sellers that sell cheaper, offer free returns, and tend to "move" invetory—I've seen sellers that do well for 2 months, then all of a sudden their sells grind to a crawl, almost to a standstill. Not trying to give insight on the intricacies of the website, just trying to drive the point that patience will be key if you wish to get the most out of the games you're considering selling. Perhaps selling locally could be an option, if possible.
Value can mean different prices for different people, for example what some people pay is not guaranteed to be a price that someone else would buy for. I thought this thread could get little interesting seeing how everyone is different and has different values
True; this is something that's very prevalent in the comicbook market, but even still, there are exceptions to the rule. I know you like sports games and I’m aware of the basis of this topic, but as a whole, sports games are like issue #75 of Superman and #500 of The Adventures of Superman in that they're excruciatingly common. I'm not saying that sports games can't be rare, as I've given examples of rare sports games before; but truth is sports games don't command much interest, at least not enough to the point one can be considered a hidden gem or a conversation piece—it's
nigh impossible to sell something based on one's sentimental value alone.
