This week, I plan to put Silent Hill 1-4 w/ guides for each game on eBay. I was wondering if anyone could suggest some key words to help me grab as much attantion as I can get.
Suggestions Please. Thanks!

If the guide is included with the game listing, put w/ (or the word with if you have enough room) guide in the title. Put PS2 or PS1 in the title (depending on the system).
I would word Silent Hill 3 like this for example
Silent Hill 3 Playstation 2 w/ Guide PS2
of course, there's the always popular RARE to put in a title for a game that could go for a lot of money

If you select to put eBay's info on the item, like say SH2. Then it will probably say: "Silent Hill 2 (playstation 2)". YoshiFan1 is right, put PS2 near the end and put w/Guide after the word silent hill 2. Ex: "Silent Hill 2 w/Guide (Playstation 2) PS2" (if there's enough room). That's what I'd do. Sell each game separatly too.

You think seperately? will I make more money?
I was gonna make it like a "complete collection" and hope to bring in a nice load. You think not?

Oh, I didn't know you meant that you were going to sell all 4 games and guides together. In that case I would title it like this:
Silent Hill 1 2 3 4 w/ Guides Playstation 2 PS2
I would also spend the $0.50 a subtitle and say something like:
All 4 Silent Hill Games With Guides (and whatever else you want)

Well, do you guys think I should do it all together, or seperate?

If you sell them all together, I'd put "LOT" in the title too. Some collector might hit the jackpot. And fees do add up selling separatly. But If someone doesn't need all of these, they won't be willing to pay as much. Either way is good.

Yes, that is how I would name the title. Maybe even add the word "Game" if it can fit.
I wouldnt waste the money on the subtitle. It doesnt come up in the search field. If they're interested in the auction, they'll click to see your link. Save the 50 cents.

Check the completed auctions and see how much each go for. If there are other auctions that has all 4, see how much those went for and compare. Do the math and see which one brings in more money.
