Selling on Amazon

Well now. I am pleasantly surprised! Yesterday, I set up my store front on Amazon.com in my quest to unload my duplicate rare video games I managed to acquire over the years. I wake up this morning, and lo-and-behold, I already sold my extra copy of Lunar 1 for the PS1. Granted, Amazon has high seller fees, but so does eBay. Unfortunately, I can't rely on eBay anymore to make back money because of their new seller policies. It was fun placing auctions on that site, but the risk to sellers from unscrupulous bidders is simply too high to risk being ripped-off.

Who knows. Could this be the beginning of a lucrative venture for me? I would like to think so. Maybe. Of course, if I committed to this store full-time, I could possibly make more money, but that would mean I would have to scour re-sell shops, pawn shops, and real video game boutiques to find the rarities that would sell and fetch high prices online. I really don't have the means to do so but I could always dream.

I think I'll list my black-label edition of Final Fantasy VII. Surely, there is some rabid collector out there who wants this game.
