Got an offer from a retro game store

Thanks for the input guys, 25% is a large portion to be giving out. And I guess im not really saving myself time by putting them there due to having to check and replace them.
Ebay still bugs me for the fact of not having real cash in hand, so I guess im stuck with local ads.
And with ebay its not like I ever sell a ton either just double and games I dont want in my collection. So my sales would be minimal so people might be worried about buying from me.

I am confused on why you don't like eBay? The money goes straight to your secure pay-pal account and you can aether use it on eBay for purchases which to me feels kind of like a gift card since I never see the money its kind of like free cash i have. or you can transfer it from pay-pal straight to your bank account. I love it and think it is super convenient!!!!!!

Well, you have to have so many positive transactions , at least in video games, before you get access to your money asap, at first it gets stuck in limbo until the buyer leaves feedback.
Ebay fees do suck, depending on how you sell it and selling price. Then you add shipping costs etc. Also, your always crazy afraid of that one PITA buyer who will find one miniscule thing wrong with the item and want money back.
Bank xfers can take a few days as well. Also, unless you constantly do 1 time payments to clear your ebay account it can be lame when they take it out and you forgot about it lol.
I like ebay, and I use it myself, just can be a bit lame with all the things you have to keep track of

Not in my experience.

I dont buy on ebay... for me one of the biggest joys of retro games in getting my hands dirty and going to thrift stores and garage sales. So, Ebay kinda ruins the hunt for me.
Iv never really looked into Ebay selling, so what would I be looking at for sales?
Say I sell a Link to the past for $25 bucks and $5 shipping.
How much of that would I get?
