JVOSS | 1,762 Posted November 10, 2020 Author Share Posted November 10, 2020 wow just realized how the use of "this" in the title has changed the what the OP was really asking. restating the title to got back to the OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JVOSS | 1,762 Posted November 10, 2020 Author Share Posted November 10, 2020 (edited) @RH, your statement is a good way to understand the "value" as for cost. @fcgamer, is a way to look as for personal value.. 12 hours ago, OptOut said: Listing it for sale on HA would only be possible if the game was graded and it was accepted as part of a consignment, which would end up costing a lot in fees... as for best place to list @OptOut's is the better answer.

Splain | 2,560 Editorials Team · Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I've sold stuff on reddit before, but it's all casuals who will only buy for rock-bottom prices. Premium items do not sell there, but r/gameboy has a decently active Discord where there are some collectors, I guess you could raise it up the flagpole there. On NA/VGS is where you'll find people who better understand the value of rare games (and basic principles of buying/selling in general) and won't complain if you list it for a high price on a FS page. If you're trying to sell quickly, you might do a Dutch auction or something. Or, VGS has an auction page. If I were you I'd do ebay though. Yeah, the fees are super annoying, but that gives you the best chance of finding the person who's willing to pay the highest for it. And maybe that will help offset the fees.

Have you actually tried to search the source of this cart, in this case, Brazil?? Here's some Brazillian OLX listing: https://sc.olx.com.br/florianopolis-e-regiao/videogames/fita-gameboy-pokemon-edicao-especial-pikachu-809088026 It is listed for 100R$ which is around ~20USD. I would guess you can list it on feebay for 50USD and ship to worldwide and if it doesn't sell then keep lowering the price until you sell it. That's it So now we have something to work with. About $20, although to be fair that particular copy appears to be in substantially better shape than that of the OP. Like many "rare" video games, I think you get top dollar only if the game is highly coveted, as noted by RH, or if it's rare an sealed you might be able to attract enough interest. Interesting thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offence, but I don't see your game as "validated" either. Now, you could say you validated it yourself, but unless you have some unique qualifications that would universally grant you some authority, I fail to see how one is better than the other.

I have no interest in getting into some weird debate here - which is where things appear to be heading. So I'll reiterate what I said one last time --You're the seller, proving anything is your responsibility and you made quite a few claims. --If you want anyone, on here or on ebay to consider the item, again you need to prove the rarity and value. That's all. I think people here have been pretty accommodating and just asking logical questions. If you want to reply to my message like you did the others and basically say "you're wrong, go find out" I would say don't bother - you're not adding to the conversation. At any rate, I don't foresee myself discussing this anymore. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he can give some idea of how rare that Pokemon game is in its country of origin. As @VegaVegassaid, you can find it for reasonably cheap if you only want a loose copy. Also, it isn't hard to find. It goes from R$120-180 (US$22-33). If it were a CIB copy, then it would go for a lot more but I think it would be around US$100-120. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guitarzombie | 923 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 What is with all the vagueness? AFAIK we're a community who SHARE information because we're mostly friendly to each other and help in our own little quests. I'm no genius but i've given as much interesting info as I thought I found to the people here. If you're guarding information, then, I'd put you in the camp of someone that just wants to take advantage of that monetarily or elsewise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YOURTURN | 1,256 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Here is all I can say. 1) You are showing a loose/incomplete niche collectible. With the right buyer its value would be 1.5x to 2x what a North American variant would cost if it was in the very same condition. Maybe more if you found that one buyer who has spent a very long time hunting it down and is willing to pay a premium (~5x). Beyond that since it is super-niche, there is not a strong market out there. And I am somebody that tends to gravitate towards Japanese games.2) Pokemon does not hold the same levels as it once did in today's market. Which goes back to statement #1. So if you are willing to take what you can get your best bet is eBay, and following that up with an auction. Calculate how much much each game has sold for and divide that by 50% (25% if needed) as your starting bid.3) Also note that "OP" means "Opening Post" and not what you have your title be. The whole thing has me feel like you are asking people to read the title, not the post below the title. One of the biggest rules in making a sale is the same as running a business, and that requires clear communication with respect on your end. This is one of those things that has me put up my guard when looking for anything on eBay, etc. That is all I will say on that. Overall... I have said what I have said. So if you need to respond, please eat a Snickers before you do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
