congrats on the big wins. also today I learned that banjo pilot has really gone up in price. lol. 

Thanks man! And yeah I noticed that last week too when I couldn't find any CIB set out there. It's funny how some stuff you least expect can get rare when you buy it 10 years before.

Why have some of your items, like the Conkers Press Kit been relisted so many times?

Buyers didn't paid after the auction ended or shipping was too expensive for them (outside of North America etc)

Holy shit dkc! Congratulations. Hopefully that’s a legit buyer.

Yeah that's the thing with auctions, you never know if you 100% seal the deal!

Man, these are in great condition, but you must be able to generate tons of hype through Instagram or something, because the prices you are pulling are whackers bonkers! Congrats!  I thought the NES stuff went in "high-but-reasonable" ranges, but your SNES stuff was insane.  I hope you are willing to share if they guy who bid $7,000(!) for a CIB Super Mario World comes through (but completely understand if you don't want to share).  Good luck on the Gameboy stuff! (About 10 minutes in, it was already out of my price range )

I have no Instagram about games at all ahah! I did a little bit of promo on Facebook groups but that's it. From my past expreriences, everytime I list games in Mint condition and that there is a lot of them at one time it always generate hype. Some of my stuff was pretty hard to get too, I don't know next time I will be able to get these games in the condition I had.

 

And for now it looks like the Super Mario World guy will pay. The other bidder under him told me he would buy it if the highest bidder doesn't take it. It looks like I'm going to let this game go!

 

And thanks for the good words on the GameBoy stuff, have a great one!

Don’t forget to hold 30% of those sales for taxes! 

Yes that's the sad part!

Hey, I had a little chat on the topic with a USA fellow member here. Since August this year Ebay seems to send reports for taxes which I never received before. I was wondering if any fellow Canadian had more information on the subject? Do we have to declare our gain to the government or it's not mandatory for Canada?

 

Cheers!

Well depending on opinion you're compelled to pay tax, but don't have to currently report it up to 20k/yr and that ends at this year and drops to $600.  Once $600 is hit you'll get a 1099k generated for the IRS and your tax accounting and you'll end up owing like 15-20% of what you earned in TOTAL on ebay.  I say total because ebay are kind of scummy because they report all they take in, not what you actually get, so your shipping charges and their fees they report it as part of your number so you're taxed at a higher amount.  And this is in the US.

Oh excellent, thanks for the clear answer! Will check how it works for Canada but I guess it might be similar.

1 hour ago, Tanooki said:

Yeah I think you'll be pretty pleased considering, wouldn't be surprised if you get near the whole dying off tax levels with all that if you have had some sales through the year too.

I don't want to get hit with that so whenever I get around to doing something with my one sealed title, not sure how I'll approach it.  Local cash only would take a solid hit in value on trade too, I was too late to offer it up for the auction as I had considered that as well.

Hmm yeah I'm starting to question myself about these tax thing, are you located in the US or Canada? I was curious since Ebay seems to provide a report each month since August this year about it. So sales on Ebay are now taxable from what I understand? Or it was there for a long time and I just never knew?

1 minute ago, Tanooki said:

Well I think you'll be happy with what you get out of it, see the history on those for yourself, especially sealed up black/white (2 more than 1 if I remember right.)  If I were a collector of such things, I'd take a swing at Pokemon Stadium 1 as it's pretty nice, but it'll already i can tell have some room to grow.

Yes I'm curious of how it will end but I might not be too disappointed in the end

Thanks! This is from 8bitdo, bought them around 2017, it's discontinued now

@50cent Hehe you know it.  I am and am not joking when I said that.  Not that I'd ever say go look because VGPC is a bit inaccurate, but for a rough guesstimate, look at the values people paid (not the line so much) on each of those games as a CIB and shoot more on the high end of those paid out.  You're getting into some serious scratch there.  And on the sealed, those DS games get horrific for the buyer on stuff like black and white.  Those NES sealed games are no laughing matter either, nor are those press kit bits like Conker which gets into the thousands mid upper easily.

Me here with a sealed pokemon red is the start/end of the sealed old games I have left.

Hehe I hope you're right! It's always a question of timing and what people are up to at this time right now. I feel like I rush things a little, in an ideal world I would have waited until April to sell everything but the house I am looking for is going now for sale so I have to rush thing a bit. I just feel like people have their head somewhere else with Christmas and all but I gotta do the best I can with the time frame I have!

Some amazing stuff you got there, mate! Good luck with the sales! Having sold roughly ~60% of my collection recently, the money you suddenly have for monumental life events like that is great. Everything looks to be in amazing condition 

Yeah I came to a point in my life where I don't feel like possessing that much material like I used to. I mean, I always wanted the best quality I can but in the end of the day all this stuff always ended up in a drawer or a closet out of sun light. I don't really enjoyed it anyway. And if I want to play those games I can use emulators or Everdrive so the feeling of possessing these games doesn't talk to me anymore tbh! Feel like a house will be more enjoyable than stuff in my drawer ahah. Anyway thanks for the good words and yeah I took good care of my stuff and always was aiming for the mintiest I could!

Wow just wow, looking to buy a car?

I'm with gloves, priced out.  I was thinking of adding a pokemon game to top this stuff here to that charity thing later today but was too late on the trigger.

Ahahaha I would gladly replace the car by a house!

Yes there are selling like cakes, thanks for the luck!

I am in the process to buy a house so stuff have to go! Feel free if you have any question!

I'm a fellow Canadian and if you are too, you know how you can sometimes lose a deal because the seller doesn't want to ship "outside of the US".  I had a contact back in the days on NA that was kind enough to forward me packages for some $$. I heard some people doing that as well on Youtube but I was wondering if there was any legit companies doing that kind of service you guys might suggest?

 

(I subscribed to Planet Express lately but didn't used it yet. I was curious to hear if any of you had experiences with the service and if you had any other suggestions out there?)

Welcome! Sorry to hear you had to sell a big part of your collection, but if it's to fund your passion project, it's worth it. Look forward to seeing you around.

Yes, I'm at peace with it, it's funny how 6 years ago I would never have done it but owning material for owning material doesn't have that much of a value to me anymore. I'm shifting more toward passion projects and using video games as a way to fund it! See you around!

Hey! I wanted to introduce myself as I created my account some weeks ago but didn't got the time to do it properly.

 

I am French Canadian, long time member of NintendoAge (since 2012) and was pretty disappointed when the site shut down back in 2019. I was always hoping it would come back but it kind of faded out in my mind through the years. I hoped to see an alternative website but it never seemed to happen. As I am part of The-Elite.net community since 2009 as well, I regularly watch Karl Jobst videos and was shocked to recently learn all the story behind NintendoAge and the bigger picture. And here I am after some research on an alternative website to NA!

 

Of course I am a video game enthusiast and collector although I am less active than I was around 2012 - 2014, I still buy and sell here and there some items. I recently sold a huge part of my Mint personal collection that you might have seen sell for high $ on Ebay (Mostly NES, SNES, GB CIB) - I needed some extra money to fund an original animated series concept I created. I am really glad to see this community taking shape again and hope to create great connection now that it's back!

 

Cheers!
