Substantial Retro collection for sale soon

Just finalising the list. Will then be starting the not unpleasant task of making sure it all works :-)

It would be ideal to sell the lot in one go which is probably about as likely as winning the lottery .....

I might have a go with the lot on ebay. It's worth a punt for the £8-10 to list.

Anyone have any other ideas at selling the lot in one go ?

I'm sure I can sell the stuff individually on ebay or other places but it's just such a pain ......

Suggestions gratefully welcomed :-)

Maybe a bit more info wouldn't go amiss, what briefly are you selling, games/consoles/computers/peripherals/All of them, how many, from what region, is it/they boxed etc.

Re: Substantial Retro collection for sale soon

Selling individually should reap more money but there's a lot more hassle & the likely hood of certain things not selling.

Why not list it here, it doesn't cost anything, so nothing to lose?

Deffinitley split the list.

You'll earn far more from selling seperatley.

Like mentioned above a quick rundown would be good...give us some idea of what we could cherry pick when you do decide to sell lol

Re: Substantial Retro collection for sale soon

Considering they're mainly either mint or sealed i'd definitely split them, i'm sure a few members here might even be interested at the right price, but due to site rules you'd need to go to the classified section as advertising with prices isn't allowed in this section, discussion however is fine and on that note why do you have 3 sealed gamecubes?.

:-) It maybe a while before I start to sell. The 'Testing' :hehe: may take some time.

I'm just watching a Vectrex on ebay located in Sheffield which is currently at £165 ! I bet mines in better condition. I feel like shouting here have this one instead !! :-)

Gamecubes .... Well one was a present from the Missus and fairly expensive at the time. As for the other two.... I actually purchased 3 at the time and sold one for more than the cost of all 3

Sealed Cubes are certaintly gaining in value.
