So I've decided to sell my copy of Power Blade 2 which I've seen anywhere from 350-500 bucks on eBay. I've sold a few games before on there but not many.

Any advice on maximizing the amount of money I get on a listing? I'm not trying to do this for a living or anything, just want to sell a couple things that I'll never play again for some extra cash.

Here's my listing.

I'd remove the option to make an offer or you're going to get people lowballing you and they'll never jump on the full price.

Take new pics on a solid background (like on a blue towel or something) while cropping out unnecessary bits, remove the barcode on the front without damaging the label if possible, and take the pics of the PCB if you've got the means to open the cart as well. You would be surprised how many high profile games I've sold where I was messaged to show the board to prove it isn't a repro. Maybe in the description just add something simple about the game working great and a bit more specifics about the condition. It might take a while to sell the game at a high market value, but it definitely will go if you're patient enough.

Thanks - the pics do kinda suck. I don't *think* I have a tool to open up my case, but I'll look up a guide online (recommendations are also welcome).

@edsel

Whatever man, I almost posed my dog next to the game in the pictures too (he's a cute dog)

@Percy, sorry I didnt respond til now, laid out by an ear infection. What strx says is solid. Definitely do PCB pic. You don't even have to bother with the barcode - let it be someone else's problem unless it comes off super easy.

Cool - I ordered a tool to take it apart. Once I get that, I'll take some pictures and re-list. Thanks everyone (except Edsel)!

Alright, my screwdriver kit came in and I took a pic and relisted it. Thanks guys!

Even without the PCB, I did receive a couple of lowball offers (highest was 350, which I almost took).

Niiice! Make sure to get a pic showing the Roms on the board and I think you'll sell it in no time

I'll give it 48 hours before it's sold.

Just curious, is there any advantage to putting this (or any other game) up for auction instead of buy it now? Unless I had something super uncommon, I feel like I could really good lowballed on an auction.
