This thread is dead, don't bother reading any further or posting :p


EDIT: Coming back to this thread after *many* years, pretty random.
Wow I used to be so damn ignorant as to market supply and demand, as well as the true worth and value of games.
I ended up building up most of my collection from Amazon, as eBay became way too shady and scam-tastic.
With that said, I've probably dumped way more into my PC Gaming collection than I'll ever care to admit, but it was totally worth it :)

Considering how crappy many newly-released games have been (at least when looking at several years) and how expensive the hobby has become (you'll get $60 for a game over my dead body!) then I'm glad I built my collection at a reasonable time before the 'retro gaming nostalgia' boom that has driven up prices sharply on even what I have already.

If anyone does happen to read this message. I'm different, much more informed. I'm not such a frackin noob like in this thread. We all start somewhere...
Don't eat me :(
>_>

Please disregard my first PM. I thougt you were selling those games and sent you a offer for them.:p
 
Hi

Thanks for the bumps...just figured out what that was...but.
What's YBPM (or some such)?

Yes I know what WTB means..silly. I read the rules and posted "a price" as required. The rules aren't terribly specific now are they?

Lemme PM for the Dues Ex and Anachronox, that sounds like a great deal.

Thanks again and keep the PMs coming!
Oh, to the guy who sent me the wrong PM, if you did then disregard my reply.
 
YHPM means=
You Have Private Message
unless, like right now
your PM box is full
=)

and the prices you offered me are a little
"cough"
too low

I mean $2, shipped, for S-Shock 2?!?!? this game is rare, and hard to find

I realize you said you are a little new, but I gotta tell you most games, at least these newer ones are gonna cost you at least $5-$15 EACH + shipping

unless you are looking for burned copies, which doesn't fly well around here
 
I have every single one of those games... but they are MINE! muahaha! Free bump for you!

All are in 100% condition too in the box, I use the backups that are in my HUGE cd case. I have So many games its not funny, and I dont play any of them!

Also, put Fallout2 on that list... shame on you for not wanting the best game evAr!
 
Tribes1 and tribe2 will be available in the may 4th(june release) issue of Computer Gaming world I believe, Both full copies
 
uhm your PM box is full, Ill just paste the message here:

I have some of the games on your list:
Anachronox
Freedom Force
Unreal Tournament 2003

$20 shipped.

Hi all.

First, in response to the person claiming I wanted burned crap, NO NO and HELL NO. I'm getting these original CDs and don't need some burned crap that will get scratches easily and be worthless after a few plays. Also I hate the piracy and crap, but let us NOT turn this thread into an piracy/anti-piracy rant. Its wrong, its bad, and its not gonna happen here. Nuff said.

Second, I have gotten games off of ebay for dirt-cheap and even cheaper then what I've made in offers via PM. At the prices I've been quoted, it would be a LOT cheaper, even with all the seperate s&h to get it from people on ebay. My pricing situation thinking is that if I buy so many games from someone I should get a cheaper deal on them or some such. Due to the fact of most of the games I want being really old and such, only for nostalgia factor mostly...I believe out of that list only Dues Ex could possibly retain its premium value after so long, but only to certain people in a restricted portion of the population.

Now with that outta the way, in response to the "why not Fallout 2" person, I have Fallout one, Fallout two, AND Fallout Tactics, so take THAT and EAT IT! =D
Fallout games rock and I'll expect some reasonable price for parting with those two gems. I'm keeping Fallout Tactics, no compromise there. Just too much goodness!

Finally...I ask EVERYONE who's been flooding my PM message box to PLEASE reply to this thread instead. First it'll help bump my thread to more exposure and secondly I won't be having a flooded PM box which is limited to 5 or so messages I think with ONE person (you know who you are) sent me the same message twice. Not a big deal but I would have thought they'd made the limit higher, like 30 or something. I delete them after a day or so so its not like a big deal...even they could do auto-delete old msgs after awhile to keep costs down.

But anyways I digress...
Keep the posts coming! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE no more PMs except for the Sega CD. Just reply in the thread.

Thanks to everyone for the overwhelming responses. Just keep em coming via replies to the thread!

I have:

Homeworld 1
Unreal Tournament 2003
Return to Castle Wolfenstein

All in their retail boxes and including all paper/keys if needed.

I'll try to PM you, but it would seem that it full judging by the posts.
 
HeHeH
LoL
"Yea, what he said"

Man he offered me like $2-$3 shipped
for games that go for $10-$15
 
Temple of E.E., $20 shipped.
No box, but with manual.
PM me if interested.
 
I have the following games for sale:

GTA:VC
OFP: Cold War Crisis + Red Hammer
Splinter Cell
Hitman 2
Ghost Recon + Island Thunder + Desert Siege

I calculated shipping to be about $12.00 on USPS website.

I have all boxes, manuals, jewel cases etc. These games are in perfect condition. I even have the replacement CD for OFP. There was a bug where the old install CD would not play. I got the new play cd.

$75 shipped for all of the above. Some of these are new games that aren't easy to find cheap!

OK guys...lets try this one more time...
PLEASE just post a reply in this thread and I'll be reading it daily...even 2-3x a day if I can.
My PM box gets full REALLY easily so that's why I ask this.

NOTE: I'm used to doing business on ebay, and I'm somewhat still new to this, but I'd expect not to be asked for paying $25 or so for games released a year ago or longer. My max price, for certain fairly recent games on my list is $20...not $21...not $20.50 or such. Just $20 max. If you disagree with my methods or prices, just kindly move along. Thanks.

Second, lets douse the flames already. If you don't like my offers, just say "no thanks" and move on.

Third, I've updated my list and added a game. Will also update this thread and game list with what I'll be buying when I start getting some replies.

Finally, thanks to all the offers..I'm a bit overwhelmed right now so I'll be doing some replies as soon as I can. If you don't get a reply from me within 24 hours PLEASE e-mail me @ eBaySeller007 AT safe DASH mail DOT net.

I'm sure you can figure that out. =D

Laterz.
 
*edit*

On a side note, I'm seriously considering whether UT2K3 and 2K4 are worth my time and money. I'll be reading reviews and possibly editing my list again soon. Thanks.

Later.

Current games I'm playing:
MoH: Spearhead Demo
UT2K3 Demo
 
OK. The following are what I have. The older ones I have no manuals for them. Just the original case (with serial number) and CD.

To make it easier. All games are $10.

System Shock 2
Tribes 2
Max Payne 2 with manual
Unreal Tournament 2003 with manual and serial number
Home World 2 with original case and serial number.
 
Hey Wraith

do everyone a favor and put what price you are willing to pay next to each game in your thread

And if Ebay is so great , go buy the $2 games off of there
PIck me up a copy of UT2004 for $4 while you're there

I mean , c'mon, you can't even SHIP a game for $2

=-)
 
*edit*

Someone requested why I'm so crazy about prices.

System Shock 2 was NOT worth more then $10 shipped..at the MOST. It is ebay, but that's what I use to judge current game value.

*link removed via "the rules"*

Take that cake and EAT IT! =D

Oh, I updated my list.
I won't say who I bought from or how much, that is confidential.
More to come as I am replying to everyone who posted or PMed me.

I haven't gotten replies from a few ppl even though I PM-replied to them and it went through as in their PM box wasn't full.
If you are one of these people who PMed me please reply to my PM to you. Thanks.

Everyone I'm sending out replies so watch your PM box.
 
*edit*

More updates...
I've replied to all PMs and posts.
Check your PM inboxes everyone!
I won't be waiting too long for someone to reply...

Also, I've received several offers for UT2K3 and some other games on my list. For those that have made offers to me, I'm considering who to get it from. Thanks for your patience!

Again, to everyone who PMed me or posted an offer in this thread, please check your PM inbox. Thanks.

Later.

Here is the list of games I have:

Icewind Dale Collection
Freelancer
Soldier of Fortune 2

How's $35 shipped for all 3, just the cds right?
 
Hope I don't hurt your feeling but I am withdrawing my offer. Why would I be late for work waiting on the line in the post office just so that I can only get $27 for 4 games??? :)

"System Shock 2 - $7
Max Payne 2 - $6
UT2K3 - $5
HomeWorld 2 - $4"

You like to lowball???? Good luck. :)

I think the mod should lock this thread. :) I see a pattern with this guy.
 
i have all those games and i will sell you all of them for $2000.00
take it or leave it.
 
Listen up everyone, because I'm saying this one last time...
Nobody is forcing you to do anything, this is all about free will.

I have made offers, and all I've gotten, instead of some haggling, are harsh and rude comments. I said I was negotiable, which meant if you didn't like my offer, instead of flaming me it wouldnt' have been too hard to say "how about this instead"?

I'm never one to accept the "first offer", as in I see this place like a yard sale...if you don't haggle you'll be ripped off, and some of the prices on here that I've been offered are flat out RIDICULOUS! "$20 for Temple of Elemental Evil shipped". LOL! =D

Now for the last time, if you don't like my offer or think I'm too cheap, just say "no thanks" and move on.

You do realize by posting flames in my thread you are giving me free bumps, right?
I don't mind it much anymore...free publicity...

Later. I'll be sending out PMs, so just reply in the thread and keep the flaming out.

*edit*
I'm asking everyone that made an offer for me to reply to the PMs I sent them and send the reply to my e-mail address:
ebayseller AT safe HYPHEN mail DOT net.
=D

Seems the mods never got around to it, so...

ADMINS, PLEASE LOCK OR DELETE THIS THREAD, it is no longer needed.
I found someone via the HardForums who was able to get a PM in, and we exchanged e-mails and came to quite a nice agreement...

On a final note, some of my "lowballing" was a bit lower then usual compared to ebay, BUT seeing as the MAJORITY of the games I had wanted were a year or older, and mostly for nostalgia reasons, I didn't feel it was needed to have to pay ridiculous amounts for them.

Some examples:

UT2K4 (NOT the DVD version) - $50
Temple of Elemental Evil - $20, for a horribly buggy and non-supported game...only cause I like AD&D...
Dues Ex - $20 (LOL to this one...I mean its really good but not THAT much so...)
GTA: 3 and Vice City - $50 (More then the cost of the PS2 double-pack!)

So as you can see...its self-explanatory how ridiculous these offers were. I'll be using ebay mostly from now on for buying.

Anyways, I have all the games I'll ever need for a while, and then some.
Thanks to all who participated, even the lamers.
Good Day.
