I was just wondering:

I sold this game maybe a month ago fo $51 and now someone else is selling a copy, and it's going for about $2. Mine was sealed, and there were big differences in the listings: I had a gallery picture and a better title and description, but do these things really make the game sell for that much more?

Here's my old listing

the 360 launches this week, so I imagine that might have an impact - and yea, pictures and a detailed description/title always make an aution sell better, IMO.

but not $49 better ;) you might have caught a fluke

Sealed vs. non-sealed, picture vs. non-picture

If you find a way to re-seal it, maybe.

I find that actual pictures along with the gallery features (it's a measly 50 cents) make a huge difference.
Think about it... if you are doing a search for a collectable game and in the search results you see actual pictures right there on your screen as opposed to the stock photo or just the little "image" icon, which auction will you click on first?
