Ebay vs. Half.com vs. ????

[langdon_alger]

I've recently tried selling some old PC and PS2 games on ebay with no success. I'm new to the whole thing so I'm not really sure if my lack of rating has any bearing on lack of sales...or if it's just crappy games. So I read something on Kotaku that lead me to check out Half.com and it seems promising...but I'm not sure. I like the idea of just throwing everything up there at a set price and not having to keep track of auctions. But how on earth do you know what price to set?

I guess I was just looking for input on what people here use to get rid of old games, besides CAG trade lists (which I've had a tiny bit of luck with), and gamestop (which, in my opinion, is the devil).

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

edit:

here's my trade list, which is a sell list too. more of a just-get-rid-of-this list.

Where to sell depends on what games you are trying to sell. If you post some of the games you are trying to get rid of it will be easier to tell you where to sell.

Goozex. Use the points to get games with better resale value-->sell for more $$$

Half.com is great if you are selling something that won't be declining in value anytime soon. If it's something that has a price drop regularly, then it will be a pain to continually adjust the price to reflect current value.
I use it to sell some of my older pc games that have pretty much fixed prices they are so old.
