How to sell video games?

[uchihadesendent]

Hi all, I'm looking to get into selling video games and I'm not sure if I did the right things.

What's the best way to sell video games? Auction, BIN, Best offer?

I have some listings if anyone would like to give some advice I'm all ears and I've had my games listed for about 4 days and no activity yet.

Thanks in advance.

You can sell video games any way you would like. A lot of buyers seem to like BIN listings because they get the item immediately and don't have to wait the week for an auction to end. I saw that you have some BIN with BO video games on right now and the listings look completely fine to me.

You have only had the Wii Party game on for about 3 days now...

Items don't (normally) sell immediately. It takes time. Patience.

Hope this helps.

Patience is important.  Based on the last survey I have seen, the average fixed price listing on eBay sells in 14 weeks.

That is an average.  Some sell faster, some take longer.

Most important to check what your competitors are doing so you can price your items competitively.

For example, on eBay.ca:

on eBay.com  http://www.ebay.com/sch/Video-Games-/139973/i.html?_from=R40&_sop=15&_nkw=Super+Mario+Bros+Wii+2009

Good Luck.

Thanks patience is one of the things I need to improve on and I've managed to sell the wii games so I'll put up the nes games I have.

Thanks I priced it a couple dollar lower then what it sells for but I suppose since there's so many sellers to choose from making mine sell would be harder. I never counted how long it takes to sell stuff but it's a interesting thing to note thanks.

Three details--

Titles are your best selling tool. You have up to 80 keystrokes to sell your item.

Don't waste them on exclamation marks. No one Searches on exclamation marks.

Try 'new' 'sealed' 'used once' 'free shipping' as appropriate.

And shipping.

Your game would cost me $28USD. Is that in line with your competition?

Are you aware that Free Shipping means putting the cost of shipping into the asking price of the item?

Which is cheaper?

A $5 item with $10 shipping?

A $10 item with $5 shipping?

A $15 item with Free Shipping?

Bonus-- if you offer 'free' shipping domestically, you pay no FVF on international shipping.

Games do seem to be a high fraud category, but you may be able to ship your games at LetterPost/LightPacket rates. These must be under 2cm thick and 500 grams. Neither has any Tracking, which you may decide is important to you.
