games sell but who's buying?
noemann:
Anyone here interested in buying some PAL games?
I want to make it perfectly clear: I just want scans of boxes and manuals. I'm even willing to pay people just for scans. I can't even get people to scan for money. Amazing! Well, I am buying games for scans but I don't want the damn games. I have decided that if I cannot sell them, then I will destroy them. I will make a new channel on youtube called one-less-game. For example, tonight I'm going to tear apart my Super Hockey. I only wanted scans of the damn game. I cannot resell it because NOONE on the planet seems to want it. I will make my first video of one-less-super-hockey by tearing it apart for good scans and photos, then destroying it. Bottom line: I have to pay to get it, I will not give it away for free. If I cannot find a buyer, then I put it away. Lights out.
I have tried ebay but they have a rule that you must sell something before you can post multiple entries. I don't want to wait ten years to unload a useless game IMO. I don't want to pay 40euro for something and have to sell it for 1euro or even 20euro. I'd like to get what I had to pay or at least close to it but I cannot find buyers with restrictive rules on sites like ebay. I'm moving on.
I am currently stuck with Populous 2, Kawasaki Superbikes, Cool Spot and Populous. I do not want the damn games. I just wanted scans since no one is scanning for us. If anyone here wants to buy or trade, please let me know before I start destroying the games. I've paid 65euro for the lot. Anyone have an offer? I'm looking for cash or trade for CIB to scan.
PS too late for Super Hockey. I'm pissed about that one and I've made up my mind. Destruction is soon. I'll show pics of the chaos :-D
sebboh:
where are you from (to know the shipping cost)?
noemann:
I'm in Germany. Berlin to be specific.
I was thinking about shipping costs and I remember that someone shipped a gba to me and flattened the box and inlay to fit it in an envelope for cheaper shipping costs. I could flatten the boxes too if it helps.
I'll posts pics.
I forgot to mention that Populous 2, Cool Spot and Kawasaki are all excellent condition with no stickers. All games have been tested and work perfectly. Populous has a box and manual but they are not acceptable. The manual is taped and the box is damaged. The cart is excellent condition and works well (I've tested it too.)

Pretty much your thinking making threats against destroying your video games is going to make people buy them for the amount your asking? Good luck but I think you are out of line. I don't see it making your games sell.
sLpFhaWK:
I don' t think he is out of line, hes just asking if people would be interested in buying games he bought specifically to get scans for this community. If you're interested in buying them for the cost around what he paid then send him a message, if not then he doesn't care because he'll destroy the games and possibly generate some revenue from youtube on the hits/views.
Thats how I looked at it. He's not threatening anyone with destroying his own property it's not your money hes throwing away its his.
