No justice in this world.
When I got my 3DOs recently I also got a good handful of games and these included some doubles. I thought I'd sell the doubles on eBay, basically to make some money to buy more games.
I sold a copy of Road Rash, with complete box, inlays and instructions and it only sold for 99p at auction.
However, a copy of Doom(!!), CD only in a basic jewel box, no inlay and no instructions goes for £9.00!?!
Poor Road Rash!

I'll always weigh what I'm sending and then use the Royal Mail Price Checker and charge what they state. Can't stand those people who obviously try to make profit from their postage costs!
The most money I made recently was from a GameBoy Advance, the gold Legend Of Zelda edition machine. I'd bought it for £10 last year in Cash Converters and sold it there a couple of months ago on eBay, starting it at 99p and it sold for £90!! I've that to thank for getting my 3DOs

Ive never gone to sell any 3DO games, but i have recently had simular experiences with some NEO-GEO MVS carts i sold. i put a heap on one week, and they all went quite high, 6 weeks later i put on a few more, 4 of which were the same as some id recently sold cause i had alot of doubles and triples, and they sold for stuff all!! If id waited a week, i may have doubled my money!!

Thanks for the offer but I can't do that lolprabmire wrote:If you haven't already posted off road rash i'll give you £5 plus post for it and you can just cancel the transaction with the buyer
It can be down to timing, for example memorabilia to do with an old movie when a sequel or remake is coming out, but a lot is also down to luck as well, who happens to be looking for the item at the time just.CasetheCorvetteman wrote:Ive never gone to sell any 3DO games, but i have recently had simular experiences with some NEO-GEO MVS carts i sold. i put a heap on one week, and they all went quite high, 6 weeks later i put on a few more, 4 of which were the same as some id recently sold cause i had alot of doubles and triples, and they sold for stuff all!!

When the first Transformers movie was coming out I was looking to sell all my old 80s comics but ended up looking at them, reading some and then deciding I wanted to keep them and fill the gaps. When trying to buy issue 1 from 1984 I remember it went for around £170!! Only a few months later and I got it for £18. Timing and also different people bidding make all the difference I guess.
Same when I bought my C64 last year. I was bidding on one which was just the machine and leads etc and a joystick and it ended up going for £150+. My max bid was £50, so I gave up. The very next week I got mine with a whole load of games for £38!
