Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the primary market for vintage games. Heritage Auctions or Goldin if the item is professionally graded (CIB). Facebook specialty groups like 'Simpsons Merch' or 'Game Boy Collectors' for direct sales.
Selling Tips
Use a clear plastic box protector for shipping and photos. Highlight 'Collector Grade' and 'No Crushing' in the title. Take high-resolution photos of all six sides plus the top and bottom flaps. Do not use stock photos. Price higher to allow for 'Best Offers' as high-condition boxes are difficult to find.
