The problem with selling PC games these days is that most PCs don’t have CD-ROMs anymore or the old games have specific system requirements to play them which mean you have to run them in a virtual machine to get them to play on modern PCs.

Great episode man! Perfect timing i just picked up PC games as well. Got about zero views on ebay and selling for about half the cost. Lol. Unfortunately most new PC don't even have CD slots😅 but where are those PC Game collectors at!!??

Man that crazy!. The artwork is so great on the boxes too, im sure the game play is amazing as well. Someone needs to get a cloud service up and running to upload these games to and charge stroage fees. Maybe it would bring back that market..

Shipping costs are a lot higher than I thought, when you go to sell stuff how much do you typically spend on shipping for a visit easily over 100 right?

@ haha sorry I’m new to selling you inspired me though! By visit I meant while you’re at the post office to send your items out. I ask because I have tons to sell but sending two small shirts less than a pound to one person was over 20, and I imagine you sell a lot at once

PC games are a very hit and missed item. The sports cards could of been junk, or they could of been where all your money was at. It's hard to say with out seeing them. You should of just sold them to a trading card seller and at less got some of your money back. Even if it was just $20. I would of bought them for $20 depending on how much you had just to go throw them and see what there was in value.
