[SWCollect] Bi-directional game value

2001-08-31 Thread Dan Chisarick

Since people here have at least a better idea of what a game is worth,
does that sense of values work both ways?  For instance, C.E. has a used
copy of Witness.  The last 4 copies on eBay sold for $250.  Sure Witness
is a good game, but its not worth that much.  Someone makes an offer to C.E.
directly (on YOIS) for $30 (before you can list it on ebay).  I'm assuming
this is a fair price, but do you sell for $30 knowning the offer was fair,
or try to get $250 for it?

I never sells games...I only trade.  However witness is definitely worth
more than $30 on the open market.  If I were a shop, I would charge what I
think market value is (my opinion is about $100 - $150, but if they are
selling regularly on ebay for $250then that is a better judge of its
real market value).  However, if I were going to sell anything of any value,
eBay would be the place to do it.  Done properly, you'll generally get the
most for your money at auction as opposed to selling directly...assuming you
follow the basics and don't get completely unlucky.  There is more risk
associated with eBay, but there is much more reward as well.
