That’s an awesome step in the right direction man! Congrats! Another site you can try to sell things on, where we’ve had mild success is Mercari. I think it’s a decent site to use and I think their fee may be lower but I’m not sure.
These are good first steps though man! How are you shipping them, with bubble mailers? Those are a good way to ship sensitive things like a game.
Yeah man, it's a nice step forward. I'm going to start bundling up games to make the shipping a bit more reasonable, and also to get rid of more games in one go. But, only for games that are of the same franchise.
The shipping price is fairly expensive. It's going registered, and proof of delivery. €9.50 around Ireland, €12.50 to the UK and Europe, €16 to America, and €18 to Australia. They're sent in padded envelopes.
I'm thinking of lowering the shipping cost by €2 - €3 though, to encourage some sales. I actually try to keep my prices lower than average to enourage sales, but maybe raising the price by a bit, and lowering the postage would encourage sales. I'm not sure, at the moment I'm just testing the waters.
Yeah I hear you on the shipping but that’s the way to go. We do that for our stuff so somebody can’t try to claim it was lost or something if it takes a while. We have tracking numbers for all our stuff.
Do what you need to within reason for shipping but don’t sell your shirt so to speak! Gotta make money somewhere.
