Title: FREE SHIPPING on orders of over $50 has launched at Off the Charts
Post by: otcvideogames on June 06, 2014, 11:08:36 AM
Hey guys,

I have been sort of a background dweller on the forum, but a long-time listener of the podcast. I've posted about my site on here a few times. We are a site built for collectors that shows actual pictures of every game and describes the condition specifically in a dropdown menu in each game listing.

Anyhow, we just launched free shipping for orders over $50 on our site. We have been told, and I strongly believe, that our pricing is really fair and collector friendly! Stop by and check it out!

Thanks!

judging from your n64 games alone, you have very fair prices. one suggestion i'd like to make, especially since you seem to be targetting collectors, is that you should have some way to indicate if a game comes with box or manual in the thumbnail lists of games. i can't tell if none of these have that and so you just didn't say anything, or if some might have a box or manual and checking the pictures would be my only way to find out.

otherwise the site looks great! bookmarked for later.

Good prices on the Atari and NES games.  Just made a decent sized order of fillers and a few wanted titles.  Free shipping is a plus for purchases like these.  It is sure to draw collectors in.  The site was easy to navigate and having pictures of the actual items is excellent.

It looks like you have a nice site coming together, with very fair pricing. I'm sure if you keep it up you will do well. Thanks for listening to the show!

I like the site and the prices are really good. I agree with techwizard though. Having the level of completion right on the search page would save us collectors a lot of time.

Yes, we have this in the works. It will actually be separate categories, so you will either be searching in games, manuals, or boxes. I'm still working out the kinks. Sadly, the site doesn't yet generate enough traffic to justify getting all of our boxes up there, so we've been pairing many of them up with cartridges for the eBay account and/or selling them through the forums (mostly NA) and to local collectors.

Saw a couple of titles I might be interested in for the near future. Also noticed Zelda for the CD-I. If I owned a CD-I and could experience its infamy for myself, I would snag it. ha ha

Just put in a nice NES & SNES order! Surprised how many more common games I still need for NES.

Just took a quick look...

First thing I immediately wanted: The ability to sort/filter by price. I was initially interested in filling in some commons, but wanted to know what expensive titles you had as well in case something immediately grabbed me.

Another thing: How do you indicate if you have more than 1 in stock? Multiple listings, or will it just show the one?

Also: I hate to be the person to ask, but are your trade-ins competitive, meaning > 25% of value for cash and > 50% of value for credit? I know it's subjective based on the traded item and condition, but I would actually think of sending things over for a couple items you're offering.

Not at this time. I'm looking into options for better shipping rates to Canada in the future!

I usually do 50% cash and 65% credit using the prices I sell things at. If it is a lot of stuff, I send pre-paid labels through UPS and FedEx so no cash ever has to leave your (or any seller's) hands.

Interesting to note. I literally have 2 banker boxes full of Atari 2600 carts sitting in the trunk of my car that I'd consider sending over, as well as quite a bit of duplicates and items that I'm not interested in keeping. I may consider snapping some pictures and sending them over. Thanks!

Thanks for the order! Enjoy! And thanks to everyone else who has ordered! So happy with all of the support and feedback. I'm working on getting the manuals organized and boxes posted as was suggested. I am also trying to get a sort by price option added!
