dont throw them out there is always a way to get rid of them. Just do like anti said and say with other auctions "+ bonus".

[thx1138]

Apart from making an ass of my self in the original post........

They've just been delivered. the time here is 01:15am I just had a bath, my mate turned up at 12:20am, we must have looked quite suspicious to the nosey neghbours, I can guarantee at least 2 houses were people were peeping!, as we raced to unload the truck of it's 80 taped up boxes under the cover of darkness, before we caused a traffic jam, or some impatient and rude taxi driver came along, you'd have to see it to believe it, narrow streets, all one way, so if one truck stops and just two cars come along, it's chaos, even at midnight!

Anyway, all unloaded and accounted for, about 6 games short, but he did tell my mate that, and he was pretty cool about me re-negotiating just about every term of his auction too!

So, we unloaded them onto the side of the street,  and then I worked like the clappers getting them into my house.  They are piled in the lounge and we can't sit in there., I shall move them up into the eBay room over the next day or so.

Good job Mrs.THX is cool about it.

Now comes the hard bit, selling them

You know i have never played that game and dont own it but i believe it is the best sports simulation game ever just because it tells me so.

[IceBladeX]

I didnt even see the box but believe it because you say that you saw it, so it must be true.

[Arrrhalomynn]

It's Den's favourite game, that should say something.

If the cartridge size were normal, so I could put other games in it, I'd buy a few boxes of you. I could use some spare boxes. In fact, I'd like 35 boxes if that were the case.

That is the best!  I'll buy a case off you!

[Sureshot]

Lol, this topic brought a smile to my face, congrats THX

[thx1138]

Can I keep this thread live, over the next few months, as I keep an account of how I am getting on, disposing of them all?

[Arrrhalomynn]

Sure. You can send me some boxes. How much would around 40 of them cost me?

[thx1138]

you mean empty boxes? I'll weigh an empty box, and try to figure it out from there., cheapest option to mail them.

--------------------

Well, the story so far. There were 78 sealed boxes, each box contatining 4 smaller cartons, of 6 NHL 96 mint/sealed games. There were two boxes, each with one carton missing. The total cost to me was £150.

So far, I have sold 4 sealed boxes (96 games) on eBay, and lost out.
My postage costs information was wrong, and it cost me £23 to send them, I onyl charged £11.21 Straight away I cancelled the other auction for the same, and explained to the seller.

The webmaster of a certaing British based board, has agreed to buy 4 boxes for £10.

I have sold one indivdual game on eBay for £0.99 plus postage.

Today, I took 2 boxes into my locacl auction house to "test the water", I do okay, I'll take some more in.

The best result so far, I re-used some boxes on my onw Electronic Arts games, and took loose NHL carts into Gamestation, where they gave me £1.50 instore credit per loose cart, I took in two, mixed in with other retro stuff, I shall continue trickling some that way.

Oh, and I placed an advert in retro-gamer, £2 each, including postage, it remains to be seen if they will actually print the advert.

[Arrrhalomynn]

Yeah, empty boxes. As long as they are in good condition. I want to put my mega tech games into them

[thx1138]

Have not forgotten, but I need to check my facts - it appears that my postage cost listings are out of date. I got stung with a big bill when I sent a parcel in the week.

[Tynstar]

If  I bought them I would use them for wallpaper!
