I sell alot (well actually my dad sells his old records all the time, but i do sell some stuff :)) It depends, if each game is only worth like $2, the sell them as a lot. See what happens! If they are woth more, then it would prolly be better to sell separatly.
You could also use BST :)
HTH
your best bet is to see how much everyone else is selling eac product for , add it up nad see if that s more than u would consider selling it as a awhole

I sold a LOT of stuff on ebay before coming to Aus - I found that for the majority of things I made more on ebay than I would in private sale, BUT it is worth having an eye on what other people are getting for similar items as some items just don't sell at all. Games shouldn't be a problem though :t_up:
Rather than selling them all as a single package you might like to divide them into bundles of 3 or 4 "similar" games, or variety packs or whatever, advertise a few individually also and see how much you get - don't put everything on in the same week! Also, its well worth spending a few minutes with front page or similar to make a decent looking add rather than a few scrawly lines of text (IMHO).

Ebay is great! i've made £914 the last 2 weeks by selling my neogeo console/gamecube games and some arcam seperates.:) the trouble is i'm skint again now as i blew it on a radeon 9800xt(+UT2k4/farcry to try it out) and a £419 sony tft.:bawling:
I found cd's/dvd's are the worst sellers unless you have rare ones. i've seen idiots on there selling new titles for 50p and less, probably crackheads.:laugh:

I found that a number of my music CD's and some of PS2 games actually sold on ebay for more than their shop value, which was nice (That was in the UK). You really have to pick your items carefully, some CD's will only sell for a quid ...
Also, I flogged off all my cricket gear and once again some of those items raised more than their shop value.
Ditto a couple of old hard drives which i had rescued from dead machines sold ridiculously well.
If you have something in mind, look it up on ebay and see what people are bidding for it!
