    Allo all.

    I've been a gamer my entire life, and have amassed a pretty epic collection of megadrive/gamegear/gameboy/psp/ps2/ps3/dreamcast/pc games.

    Now, i'm looking to shift all these and am wondering how to do it.

    Car boot sale? Ebay?

    What have you guys done, and what was your experience?

    Cheers for any and all tips.

    p.s: Please, no soliciting for sales, just looking for tips.

    Here is a tip for you,
    Dont sell them :)

    I sold a load of ps2 games to GAME in 2007. Always regretted it afterwards. Was getting a euro a game. What was the point in selling them. I'd rather have something collect dust that sell at a ridiculously low price.

    You could tell me what Mega Drive games you have? :)

    That'd be my tip....

    Other than that Ebay or adverts.ie

    50 cents to a euro per game if sold bulk.

    Or maybe more for any rare games.

    It depends how fast you need the cash? If you can, search for each one of them on ebay, and check if any go for a good sum of money. The ones that don't, see if you can flog them off on Irish sites, to ensure P&P is not more than the game itself.
