I might be interested depending on price. ;)

When I've sold with a best offer option and received low-ball offers, I just decline. It makes it appear as if the buyer either doesn't consider my time or leaves me feeling that there's no way they'll come up to a reasonable amount, so I just straight decline with no counter-offer.

I got to figure that stuff out and test/ clean the Famicom games, I might get some of that done this weekend.
Prices will be lower than the common eBay prices. Some lower than others, depending on the item.
@Wiggy,
What do you consider Lowball?
Some offers I did lately (And Won) were:
$33 from $45
$13 from $19

I never go that low, lowest I went was on a lot a Virtual Boy games a few days ago, $115 down form $150 because I was on the fence about it, and it got accepted.
I have a box of games I need to sell (e-Reader, Famicom, Virtual Boy) , I'm probably going to first do it here, depending what's left maybe just trade it in to my local retro games store.
Should I bother with eBay?

I would always try here first. ;)
I've had such good luck here and I feel better knowing a fellow member bought my stuff. I tend to sell at below eBay rates, but I also avoid the hassles and fees.
