Make Money Selling Used PC and Video Games on eBay


At home gaming has become very widespread – Wii, Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo, and GameCube are all extremely popular. The majority of people who play video games buy new games frequently because they get tired of the ones they have. By selling used games on eBay yourself, you can make more money than you would if you sold them to a game store (like GameStop).

Start by always saving the box for your games. Games bring higher prices when sold in original boxes. It is also important to include instructions and any other papers that were included with the game. Buyers like to know they’re getting a complete product.

Next research how much your game is selling for on eBay. Also consider selling similar games in a lot – such as selling 6 games together that are for a GameCube. Games that are extremely popular (such as Halo) often sell better by themselves. Research completed listings on eBay to determine the best selling method for your particular game.

It’s also very important to sell only working games on eBay. If you buy used games (such as from a yard sale or thrift store), be sure to test them before listing them. A buyer who receives a broken game is likely to leave negative feedback – plus it’s just common courtesy to sell a working product. Buyers will appreciate your honesty.

Most of the time games will work again if you get them buffed out by a place that sells games. It cost between $1-$2. I always do this before I sell my games just to give it a nice fresh appearance. DVD's can be buffed out this way also.
