Loose Game Gear games collection value?
Post Posted: Tue Dec 08, 2015 3:58 am
Hello all, I am in need of some current market wisdom, I am going to be parting with my game gear items and have a question of value as far as the games are concerned, I have roughly 175 game gear games, all different (no duplicates) and all with just the clamshell cases (not boxed / complete) and I was wondering, would $395.00 on ebay be resonable or high / low as a starting price for a collection of 175 different games, it comes out to $2.25 a game. Just thought I would pick all your brains for some insight as I have not bought, let alone priced anything related in a very long time and I know the market has changed alot. Thank you every one for your time.

It seems cheap to me, but then again it's loose carts so collectors will pass. If you want more money, list them all separately. A big cart only collection might not sell very easily.

+1, decent price but hard to find anyone willing to buy 175 games at once, hence loose games.
Try to sell the rares/most expensive ones separately and for the rest, go for
"thematic bulk lots" (platformers, disney, sports etc etc etc)

Smaller bulk lots of loose games sell for very little unfortunately.

I'd be really surprised if you can get $395 of the whole lot. I think it's an ok price but people just aren't buying that sort of things anymore.
