I dont know if this counts as I happen to make the best decision but at one point in time I was at a game store and I had a choice of three Saturn games: Panzer Dragoon Saga, Saturn Bomberman and Shining Force III.  If i remember right each one was going for $45 (imagine walking into a store and seeing that scenario now).  This was a loooooooooooooong time ago and at the moment I wasnt collecting I just wanted a game for the Saturn I bought used.  I chose Panzer Dragoon Saga.  After alot of time passed and Saturn games became extremely scarce I had a hell of time trying to track down those other two games.  I eventually found Saturn Bomberman (loose) but never Shining Force.  Other than that there are sooooo many times I remember Magic Knight Rayearth and Burning Soldiers just sitting on a shelf at a gamestore in the mall.  I just never pulled the trigger on them.

Thanks for the help.  I was about to post to Imgur but then I figured out how to get the proper link from picasa.  It works now but the image is insanely huge.  Things seemed easier when I used to frequent forums before.  Then again it might just be my horrible memory messing with me.

Sorry for the newb type question but whats the easiest way to add photos to a post?  Is there a way to link from Google+ or is there a way to directly upload a photo.  Wow I didn't realize its been so long I've posted to a forum.  Thanks in advance!

This is the first time I've ever done a sale like this so please bear with me as I learn the ropes.  The following are US Sega Master System games that I'm offering for sale.  All games have boxes but no manuals.  Prices listed are based off of prices from Videogames Price Charting, adjusted for the missing manuals.  Shipping in the US is included in the price as well.  If you need it shipped out of the US please PM me so I can figure how much shipping will be and adjust the price accordingly.  I have not been able to test the games as my Master System is currently in storage somewhere but there is no reason in my mind that these games would not work properly.  I take pretty good care of my collection.  All games were bought new by me.  I'm willing to negotiate on prices but please negotiate respectfully.  I do realize you guys would love to find a great bargain and believe me as I added to my collection I was in the same boat but I really need the money to alleviate some major stress in my life (aka bills bills and more bills). 

California Games $13
Dick Tracy $23
Double Dragon $13 *edit:  this includes instructions*
Kenseinden $13
Paperboy $23
Phantasy Star $45
Psycho Fox $33
Spellcaster $17
Spiderman $23
Strider $25
Zillion $13

There are two more that I'm trying to figure out prices for.  They are Columns and Reggie Jackson Baseball (blue label).  I'm going to take pictures of all games and add them to this post as well.  Please feel free to PM me with any questions.  Hopefully someone out there can help me find good homes for my games.  Thanks!

*edit* Here are pictures.  If you would like a specific view please let me know and I'll be happy to oblige.

Thank you very much everyone!  I'm in the process of adding my games to my online collection.  Going through everything is bringing back some good memories.  I'll probably go the individual item sale route once I get everything together and do some price research.

General / I'm thinking about selling my collection. Info needed and greatly appreciated

« on: July 01, 2014, 12:29:41 am »

Hello everybody.  Since this is my first post on this forum I'll give a little background on myself.  I'm 36 and have been gaming for the majority of my life starting with Basic games on a Tomy Tutor all the way to now with the PS4.  Throughout the years I've been fortunate enough to put together a rather decent collection of games.  Admittedly it was never my intention for my neverending need to buy and play a new game to become a collection and because of that I've foolishly traded or sold key titles but what I still have isn't too shabby.  My collection includes games from the Master System, Saturn, Dreamcast, Gameboy, Gameboy Advance, DS, Neogeo Pocket, N64, Gamecube, Gameboy, Gameboy Advance, DS, PS1, PS2, PSP, Vita, PS3, PS4, Xbox and Xbox360.  Somewhere I know I also have loose NES and Genesis.  The majority of my games are NTSC-U with a couple NTSC-J here and there.  With exception of a couple of games, all my games have been opened and played with but have been taken great care for. 

I'm now at a point in life where I just don't have the room for my collection and could honestly really use the money.  So with a heavy heart, I was hoping the forum could help me start off on the right track to sell my collection.  I've been trying to figure out the best way to go about this to maximize the value.  Is it better to sell individual titles as opposed to a video game lot?  Is there much of a market for graded titles making it worth the hassle and price?   Are there other sites I can/should list on other than Ebay? Any info and help given is greatly appreciated.  I would love for my games and consoles go to another collector.  Just so I know they would be given a good home.
