Selling 40+ Nintendo DS games. What is the best way?

I've decided that since most of my DS collection just sits on my shelf, I might as well get rid of it for cash. I barely played any of the games but like a good CAG, I got most of them for a good price so I'm not committing financial suicide by selling them for pennies to the dollar. Most games that command a good price I'm selling standalone or trading in through Amazon (New Super Mario Bros, Mario Kart DS, Electroplankton) but it is the real crap that I'm not sure how to break up.

I don't mean crap as in Target clearance games, but games that were at one time good but barely command a buck when trading in (Brain Age, Star Fox Command, Meteos, Contact, Magical Starsign, and more). I was pretty shocked at some of the DS lots on eBay. A lot of 10 game lots (with real crap) sell for $50 which at $5 a game is a lot better than $1 per game if sold individually. I guess mom and pops just try to get one gigantic lot for their kids to make it easier on them.

After taking away the rare games, I have about 30 that can all go in one lot. Should I do a lot of 10, 15, or 30? I feel with logic, it makes sense to break them up in smaller bundles. But I feel like I can land that one mom or pop who sees a 30 game bundle with tons of Nintendo hits and think they can get their gift shopping done in one swoop.

Sell any around $20 individually and the rest as a lot. If you want do it a theme lot (ie RPG)

PM me the list and I would want to maybe purchase some or we could trade.

I want a cheap Brain Age.

Are any of the club nintendo codes used?

It also saves them on shipping costs, when a game only costs $2-3 but shipping costs you $3 you do better to just buy up big lots of randoms. Personally I'd divide them into 4-5 lots of similar games, just make sure to disperse the utter junk between the lots.

You might want to try $5 each on craigslist, any DS lots at that price never seem to hang around in my area.

Yeah they are.

You mean 25 games at $5 each for a total of $125 will go easily on CL or it won't?

They would fly out the door in my area--the soccer-mom presence is not to be underestimated. Even if you get lowballed at $3 apiece you wouldn't have to deal with the shipping and hassle of ebay.

yep, $5 each would be gone in a heartbeat.
Curious, have you checked the base value at Best Buy? with the 50% bump you might be pleasantly surprised, I had quite a few that were $6-$9 to gross me $9-$13.50 each in BBuy credit.

IF you go craigslist I would charge $7-$10 each and have the lot price at $5 each, but that's me

I'd also be interested if you're wanting to sell/trade on here.

If you're willing to go through the trouble of shipping them on eBay you'll probably be able to unload many over CAG and save yourself on eBay fees.

check the bestbuy,amazon,gamestop trade in value, and go from there.
