What's the best way to sell old videogames?

[Michael Wade]

Ive got a shit ton of 90s to early 2000's PC games with the original giant square ass boxes. Stuff like warcraft, original hitman, GTA, Manhunt, 90's dinosaur education games and every star trek game known to man. Ive got shit so old you've never heard of, because it doesn't work on modern operating systems

What's the best place, store or way to offload em for cash? Amazon is an option but that's not going to be immediate.

 

[Varg Did Nothing Wrong]

No option is going to be "immediate" short of taking them down to Goodwill and selling the entire box for $10.

Throw them up on eBay.

Hold onto until they appreciate in value, though make legally questionable backups, since disk rot is an issue.

Join a retro video game Facebook group & ask those speds what they’re worth.
Then ask twice as much cause those shifty cunts will lowball you

Give them to me

Ebay, but retro gaming is big enough now that you should try to move them locally first (CL, FB) unless you live in the middle of nowhere.

I'd honestly hold on to anything really valuable though. I don't see the prices of this stuff ever coming down. Just stick them all in a closet and forget about them for 10 years.

 

[Juan But Not Forgotten]

Put a word "remaster" on them.

Id love to but I gotta offload space for the attic.

CL, FB. I might know what those are, but can you give me the full name?

What's your offering bid?

Craigslist/Facebook (Marketplace).

Selling them individually is typically going to net you the most cash. It can be a slow process, but honestly there's probably never been a better time as the retro market is "up".

eBay is the best option. You should also check Mercari, if there is no listing for the game on there, you can usually upsell it as you're the one setting the baseline.

Get them graded by WATA and then put them in one of their auctions.
