Hi guys i was looking to start selling video games and the like on ebid, i have used ebay and have my own shop set up on the internet but there is no harm in branching out further trying to reach ever corner of the market :)
So what i wanted to know is, is there any game sthat you guys were specifically interested in ?
Must confess that I don't buy that often, but if I do it's going to be PS3, and it had better be cheaper than I can buy it on Amazon or HMV.com otherwise they'll get my business instead. :p I normally wait for things to come on special offer, like half price.
Nothing in particular I'm looking for right now, I got three new games recently so they'll last me quite a while. :)
I'm always interested in Sinclair ZX81 or Spectrum Software, or is that too old for you? :)
You can also put a little of everything you have; just to get you started ... uploading and then revising is a pain in the *** but once you've done it all all you can do is relax and pray for a buyer.
I know a buyer looking for Bayonetta Xbox 360 - me. Xbox GamerChiXQuote:

What is everyone here looking out for and also, what would you be prepared to pay for them? Could inspire me in my future game hunts ;)
I have been looking for a good video game source since I am trying to get away from ebay! I have an Xbox360, PS3 and Wii (along with various older systems) and my husband and I are both gamers. I've searched for a few games I am interested in here and everything is at or even above retail price.
The price I'm willing to pay depends, of course, but I often try to get most of my games for $20-25 including shipping (or less...since I'm also willing to wait until they are far from new release). I much prefer them to be cheaper, though. LOL
On my current search list (some which I may be getting soon)
-Red Dead Redemption
-Red Dead Redemption Undead Nightmare
-Nier
-Super Mario Galaxy
-Super Mario Galaxy Wii
-Heavy Rain
-Kinectimals
-Dead Space 2
-Dead Rising 2
-Soul Calibur IV for PS3 (special edition with artbook)
-Metroid Other M
-Borderlands
-Little Big Planet 2
-Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions
-The Fight: Lights Out
-EA Active (and more workouts, and active 2)
-Zumba Fitness PS3
Is that a big enough list for you? Some of my most recent purchases:
-Bayonetta
-Trauma Team
-Bioshock 2
-Blur
...and I can't remember the rest.
Oh yes, that's one reason I thought I could do well here; that virtually everyone who sells modern games here is selling them for ridiculously high prices!
I forgot to mention I'm based in the UK though, so any games I get would most likely be in the PAL UK region which would rule out all Wii and most Xbox 360 games for you. I *might* be able to souce some PS3 games (like Nier. I actually had a copy of that a few days ago) for a reasonably low price but I have a feeling the cost of export would wipe out any savings you would make :/
I'm still researching the possibilities of shipping goods outside of the UK and Europe though, so I'll bear this list in mind :) Most of them are definately the kinds of titles I'm hoping to stock; especially collector's items like the Soul Calibur IV artbook edition.
Bummer about the UK thing. I guess I should have checked your location, LOL. But I'm glad I could help you with the list! I thought that the newest systems were all region free now...that's not true? (I don't know, I've never checked, I just thought I had heard or read that somewhere)Quote:

PlayStation 3 and pretty much all the portable games consoles (except 3DS *sigh* yes, the newest piece of gaming tech took a big step backwards there) are region free though, and I myself have happily been buying imported games from Japan and the US for these systems over the years.
