Very nice! How much?

Post by Gamelver » Tue Mar 25, 2008 5:04 pm

Er, I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post this in....if the other mods disagree, you can move it, or tell me to :P.

Anyway, I'm selling my GCp...yup, it's time. Well, see, I need money, and I've already had plenty of GCp goodness. I can always make another one if I want, too :P (and, once it's finished, I'll have a 4-in-1 portable to play ;)). I was planning on putting it up for auction on eBay, but I was wondering how much I should have the prices set...I was thinking setting the auction started at around $200-$250 (maybe lower :??) and the buy it now price at around $500 (Higher? Lower? No buy it now? You tell me :P.).

Ideally, I'd like at least $400 for it....I'm just not sure how much people would pay for this, I would certainly like there to be intense competition for it so the price goes as high as possible. I basically have only one shot at this; I want as much money as I can get from my good ol' GCp ;).

So what do you think?
Without games my life would have no meaning.
Well, I guess it would, but it would be a lot less fun!!!!!!!

As a general rule, start the bidding out ridiculously low (assuming there is demand). Make the buy it now slightly more than what you yourself would pay. Just my $0.02.

lol @ thread title. :lol:

You can quadruple the price of it if you poorly Photoshop something demonic onto it and say it's haunted.

Don't forget to let the people over at the digitpress.com forums know about it - you'd probably get some interested folks there.
