Best place to sell retro games?

This isn't allowed on the MM is it? Wouldn't this be profiteering.

It would be be classed as profiteering I think. Sucks really. Imagine if ocuk followed the member market rules themselves, might be able to get a gpu for rrp then! :p

Did you recently buy them with the intention of flogging to make some money?

Or did you buy them moons ago and just got lucky with the prices?

I bought my DC and my games years ago when you could still buy DC games in stores. They've all been sat in a drawer for years now so most games in pristine condition :)
 
Pretty sure that I and others have sold some games on MM with higher than RRP prices.

no one's gonna list SOTN for 39.99 coz they found their original receipt in the box ;)

Its not as if you bought them at a carboot last week for a fiver a shot
 
Yo please consider selling on members market over CeX. Seems like a legitimate collector could benefit. Maybe message a mod about prices? If CeX prices, surely it isn't profiteering?
 
I asked, a couple of years ago, about 'vintage' items on the mm, and the prospect of selling them higher than purchase price, and the answer was basically 'no dice'.

I think it's a worthy discussion, though. It would be good for all if we could have an exception for, say, 20+ year old stuff.

Just to clarify, you purchased these a while back and not like I said above at bootfairs/charity shops with the sole intent of profiting by reselling, you've bought well and managed to nab some of the rarer/more desirable titles when available :)

You are free to list these on MM at the going rate (probs best to base this on a combo of CEX price and eBay recent sold) without the fear of the profiteering rule.

Please do bear in mind the Other MM Rules with your listings:

We wont be allowing anyone to buy at charity shops/bootsales with a quick flip in mind and then resell on here at the cost of other members.
The pictures you've put above are superb and really show the condition of the item, we'd always suggest the best pictures possible to prevent any comebacks.

Thats good to know, thanks for the clarification :)

All my DC games where bought around 20 years ago from high street game stores and as I said in a previous post, they have been sat in a drawer for the best part of 15 years now.
