Selling bulk vintage games

sniperone · 2 Apr 2023 at 12:16

I have been given the job of selling a large collection of amstrad / spectrum games for a close friends family member that has sadly passed away after a long battle with cancer.

I have roughly 400 games pretty much in mint condition and was wondering if anyone knows of somewhere I could possibly sell these as a job lot without going down the ebay route .

Also have a boxed collecovision with about 20 games again all like new condition .

If you are dead set against eBay then that leaves
FBMarket / Groups
Gumtree
Forums that allow sales/trades.

Here is one such such FB group that I know of: https://www.facebook.com/groups/RetroMachines

Find a local retro shop and give them a call.

You're in Essex? I recall seeing this store pop up on my twitter feed, among retro gaming stuff I follow, and they do deal in Spectrum stuff :

Yeah I’m in Essex I’ll give them a shout . Going by eBay completed listing prices there is roughly £1200 worth of games not including the consoles so I don’t really want to go down the eBay route its just to much hassle . If I could get half the value I would be happy
