Just looking for some advice -

I have 64 ps2 games which will never again be played by me so am considering selling them on ebay... Theres a mixture of game types, most games are good (scoring above 7 in reviews) theres a couple of crap uns (dark angel and goldeneye blah blah)

Anyway, just wondering if it would be better to sell the games individually or whack them all together as a job lot. There are a few newish games in the pile (god of war, tekken 5, shadow of rome, snake eater ect)

Cheers.

Sell them all seperate from each other. Most people only want one game.

Try selling the good games individually and the crap ones as a bundle.

Also try to take a photo of it all out the case (including the book, disc etc.) Normally gets many more people interested than just getting a pic off the internet.

I'm no selling expert but your best bet would simply be to sell them seperately as different people are likely to pay more for the games they want rather than wanting a few games in the bundle; they'll either lose interest at the surplus or try and negotiate you down as they only want a select few games.

Use your own pictures and make sure you include the EXACT condition each game is in, otherwise you'll be in trouble. On top of that you would be best to add your own pictures and a brief note explaining why you're selling.

Obviously you're paying more in listing prices selling them separately but that compensates for the massive p&p of an all-in-one haul, which would put some off aswell.

It's your call.

Depends if you want rid quickly. Selling them individually will take up a lot more of your time than lumping them alltogether as a job lot.

Have you considered going to a games shop and trading them in for a new game? You'll probably get as much as e-bay and it's a lot less hassle?

That's a lot of links if you are indeed selling each game individually, it's probably better to do a link to your Stats (your name and feedback in the Community centre) as then we can find the items you're selling without you needing to link everything in.

Just a thought.
