Nice that I will have an epic thread!! LOL
Nothing sold cause I really want all or nothing. Ive had company this week/weekend, so really no time to get pics, figure out separate lots and so fourth.
Again, dont want the hassle of individual sales, but I guess I have to do what I have to do.
just hate dealing game by game - on every one. pics, descriptions, tire kickers, haggling...blech.
Just thinking if I have to do that then maybe I should just piece them out on the bay. At least I have a chance of getting the $ I need out of them.
Not sure how fast you need the money, but if it's really fast than most of this thread is irrelevant anyway. Speed is your enemy when trying to get top dollar.
If that's really what you dislike about the selling, then just give them all to a fellow Klovian friend and let them sell them for you on consignment. They get a little cut, you get rid of em all at once, and you get closer to your actual desired prices.

Well,
Decided to continue on with selling the games - had been back and fourth but inevitably I have to sell them.
Ill go ahead and piece them or in smaller lots. I still have to figure out prices on them, but may consider offers. the game list is on page 1. link to vids for a quick runthrough.

well steve,
Thanks for that pricelist - now I dont have to do it.
In any case - It will come down to what I want vs/ what I can get. If I feel im not getting what Im hoping for here - theres always ebay right?
oh - let me know where I can buy a nice condition - fully working Journey for $600 - Ill pick up an extra!

I too am on the downsize program. I have been selling a couple at a time since late July. Like everyone said, the whole lot at once will be tough and you'll lose quite a bit....specially selling at some of the "I need crack money" prices listed above. I suggest sell them a couple at a time and be patient. The right buyers will come along and you will get what you want out of them.
I too want to buy a few journeys for $600. Let me know if there are any left.

Yes, I'd be patient, especially with some of the harder to find games. Definitely update your VAPS profile with what you are selling and for what prices and give it some time.

Selling
I hate to see you have to sell them. Ebay will be your best bet. List 3-5 at a time to get the best return. You have a few titles that will fetch some major interest and good coin. It is hard to get good money for games on KLOV.

+1 I totally agree. Whenever I hear "won't sell separately" it means "don't want to sell at all". Next on the list is the "If I can't sell it for $x I'll just burn/throw/smash it" threat.

I agree with parabolic on the laughable price quotes.
Where can one get the Jrok in a Joust cab for $350?
It would have to be a beat up cab for that price.
I wouldn't let my minty one go for less than $700.
Really??? Yeah... crack kills
These would all bring a lot more even at auction on a bad day!
Having seen these (and played them) in person..
Try doubling the prices on most and I wouldn't sell Tron or Journey for less than $2k each!!!
Dont sell them Jeff... you will regret selling the rare ones!

So...
This is real now. I have sold My "grail" game first - Journey. I planned on keeping it until the end, but this worked all around for us both.
So - with that being said... I AM CONSIDERING OFFERS (realistic and fair) on all my games - individually or in "lots". at this moment have offers on my Track and Field, Gorf (nonworking but nice), Qbert, Sinistar, and TP84.
Still a bunch on the list - time to go!!
