General Information
There are still some games that I am still looking for myself. If you have one of those and want to sell it, please send me a photo along with a short description. Unless otherwise noted, all games should be original US versions. No other languages or re-releases. Contact me even if your game is not complete and/or has some damage.
Suppose you have one or more games I am interested in and we have agreed on a price, there are a few things to consider when packaging the game:
- Use a box which is noticeably larger than the game box. If the game just fits into the box, it is likely to be crushed as well when pressure is applied to the shipping box, especially when the game box is not compeltely full with inserts.
- Use some cushioning material so the game box doesn't fall around in the shipping box (crumbled newspaper is just fine for that).
- If the game box itself is not full and could be pushed in or the inserts could fall around inside of it, put some newspaper in it.
- Under no circumstances use tape to "reseal" the box! (I never quite understood why some people do that when shipping a game in a box or packaging paper.) In any case, it can hardly ever be removed without damaging the game box (and unnecessarily turning a mint conditioned game into a damaged one).
Allgemeine Hinweise
Selbstverständlich gibt es auch einige Spiele, die ich selbst noch suche. Wenn sie eines dieser Spiele haben und verkaufen möchten, schicken sie mir einfach ein Foto und eine kurze Beschreibung. Falls nicht anders angegeben, sollten alle Spiele originale US Versionen sein. Keine andere Sprache oder Re-Release. Melden sie sich, auch wenn ihr Spiel nicht komplett und/oder etwas beschädigt ist.
Angenommen sie haben ein oder mehrere Spiel, an denen ich interessiert bin, und wir haben uns auf einen Preis geeinigt, dann gibt es noch ein paar Dinge beim Verpacken zu beachten:
- Benutzen sie eine Versandbox, die merklich größer als die Spielepackung ist. Wenn das Spiel gerade so in die Versandbox paßt, wird es höchstwahrscheinlich ebenso wie die Spielepackung zerdrückt werden, wenn Druck darauf ausgeübt wird, besonders wenn die Packung nicht ganz voll.
- Benutzen sie Füllmaterial, so daß die Spielepackung nicht im Karton herumfallen kann (zuerknüllte Zeitungen sie dafür wunderbar geeignet).
- Falls die Spielepackung selbst nicht ganz voll ist und dhaer eingedrückt werden könnte bzw. der Inhalt darin herumfallen kann, stecken sie auch dort Zeitungspapier dazu.
- Auf keinen Fall sollten sie die Spielepackung durch Tesafilm oder Klebeband wieder "verschließen". (Warum manche Leute das tun, wenn sie Spiele in einem Karton oder in Packpapier versenden, ist mir sowieso schleierhaft.) Denn dieses kann so gut wie niemals wieder entfernt werden, ohne daß die Packung beschädigt wird (und so wie ein neuwertiges Spiel unnötigerweise in beschädigten Zustand versetzt).
