Is the exact reason why you do not list low numbered consoles as an auction

Serial number was 78,600 only 10,000 higher than the one I sold for $250 and this one had the box robot etc sold for $256 plus shipping ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=29&threadid=187766 2019-07-08T19:52:24 -05.00 josie 25 http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=29&threadid=187766 2019-07-08T18:17:30 -05.00 josie 25 http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=29&threadid=187766 2019-07-08T12:46:09 -05.00 josie 25 Originally posted by: josie

Thanks for the great suggestions, Boosted52405. I checked with Bodnar's Auctions--local but large--and they charge 28%--ouch! I'll check with Heritage (thanks for the suggestion). It is also a great suggestion to auction on this site with reserve. It's just very hard to put a reserve price on something you don't know the value of?! My 2 cents I'm assuming you have no sentimental value since you just found this and essentially got it free as a throw in for buying a house. I'd say unless you're going to lose sleep over it if it sells under X dollars just start it low without a reserve and let the market decide what it's worth.

Personally, I suggest to Auction on here with perhaps a Reserve to not get short changed. There are some huge collectors on the site. They you'd only be dealing with Paypal's ~3% fee.

eBay is fine and all, but even myself as a 1000+ feedback eBay seller have been turned away by the fees, ebay policies, and obnoxiously large amount of scamming and non-paying bidders. I haven't sold on there in quite a while. If you get a legit sale though, probably the most $$$ there. Be careful not to offer the Global Shipping Program (I think it checks by default?), I don't think I'd sell this out of the country myself.

I wonder if Heritage Auctions would be worth considering for something of this obscurity? ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=29&threadid=187766 2019-07-01T21:48:22 -05.00 josie 25 http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=29&threadid=187766 2019-07-01T21:18:42 -05.00 josie 25 Originally posted by: josie

You Nintendo collectors are a nice bunch--I appreciate all the comments. I am getting offers and am feeling really happy that the seller left everything! It was an estate and the only child (fifty-something) did not want anything and left me tons of toys, games, GI Joes and even $500 worth of vintage gift cards that still work LOL. I believe the father worked in NYC and the kid got whatever he wanted. Now it's time to figure out what to do with it all. Thanks for all the input--you are all wonderful! I think I'm leaning towards Ebay since the toy auctioneer wants 28%! Now I just have to find the time to actually sell it! You can always choose to sell whatever is video game related stuff on Nintendo Age and just get charged the Paypal fees. If you choose to strictly go the eBay route, you can post a thread in the Auction Site Spotlight so we can see what you have available for sale video game wise as well whatever else may be on your eBay account for sale. There are people here that collect all sorts of Games and Toys, so it doesn't hurt to drop your eBay username in that subforum. Good luck!
