Lets Get Started! HOW TO SELL NES NINTENDO VIDEO GAMES For over 10 years, one of my niches with reselling has been video games and I have made a lot of money doing so. I have decided to take some time and share with you my niche and show you how you can start making excellent money selling these NES video games on Amazon FBA for huge profits. I have put together the ultimate sniping hotdoc for you to use to find these video games without leaving your house. This tool has made me a lot of money and, if you take action with the information I have put into this project, you will see the amazing potential I see. Lets get started! THE BASICS If you don’t know, retro gaming is super hot right and I don’t see any signs of it slowing down! With that, this is a great opportunity to make money today and down the road. I’m going to assume that you all know about NES, but just in case, here’s a quick, basic back ground. The Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) was released in 1985 and was an almost instant hint. The gaming and graphics blew ATARI and other home gaming systems out of the water. The © PICK4PROFIT/ Michael Franco 2015 ­ All Rights Reserved NES revolutionized gaming into what it is today. Many of today’s gamers, including those who aren’t even old enough to remember the system first coming out, still consider the NES to be the first “true” home gaming system. The system, and the games, have an almost cult­like following with collectors willing to pay top dollar for rare and hard to find items and games. Currently the NES Systems being sold on Amazon FBA have a sales rank of under 2,000­­ which is excellent. As I type this message, Amazon currently has 79 sellers selling the console used of which 3 are FBA with the lowest price point of $80. This is what you need to look at. Now, the price points will be different throughout the year (especially Quarter 4), so you need to understand price changes daily, but you will never see it bottom out. The demand is so high for these units, which explains the low sales rank. I have sold units with just the system and no av, power cords, or controllers for great money. It depends on what you want to do. Just keep in mind that you must mention in the condition description what is included. Personally, I like to sell them with everything they need so when the buyer receives the item it is ready to go. Take some time right now and CLICK HERE to see the listing on Amazon. ​ ​ You see the price points, so it’s all about getting these units and games so you can make a profit by purchasing them at the lowest prices. Remember, you can settle for lower margins on most of the NES games because the ranks are so low that the item will sell pretty fast. ACCESSORIES As with any game system, the accessories are worth money as well. I have compiled a list of the ones I feel you will readily find in the field or snipe online for profit. NES Game Controllers (individually) CLICK HERE ­ Value $9.00 FBA Used ​ ​ NES AC Adapter Power Cord (individually) CLICK HERE ­ Value $20 FBA Used ​ ​ NES Infrared Remote Control CLICK HERE ­ Value $55 FBA Used ​ ​ NES Advantage CLICK HERE ­ Value $28 FBA Used ​ ​ NES Aladdin Deck Enhancer CLICK HERE ­ Value $35 FBA Used ​ ​ NES Battlestation 2 CLICK HERE ­ Value $275 FBA Used ​ ​ NES Fourscore CLICK HERE ­ Value $30 FBA Used ​ ​ NES Freedom Connection CLICK HERE ­ Value $15 FBA Used ​ ​ NES Game Genie CLICK HERE ­ Value $25 FBA Used ​ ​ NES Joycard Sansui CLICK HERE ­ Value $25 FBA Used ​ ​ NES Laserscope CLICK HERE ­ Value $70 FBA Used ​ ​ NES Max CLICK HERE ­ Value $25 FBA Used ​ ​ NES Power Glove CLICK HERE ­ Value $100 FBA Used ​ ​ NES Power Pad CLICK HERE ­ Value $25 FBA Used ​ ​ NES Quickshot Arcade CLICK HERE ­ Value $20 FBA Used ​ ​ NES Quickshot Aviator 2 CLICK HERE ­ Value $30 FBA Used ​ ​ NES R.O.B.

The #1 reason why is to avoid customer complaints as I don’t want to be known as a seller that sells people stuff that is not working. When it comes to video games, lots of collectors are purchasing these items so it is very important to test the products prior to listing them. I would recommend keeping an NES console system for yourself so you can test each game and accessory to ensure it works. I understand that is time consuming, but you don’t have to play the entire game ­ just the basics, turn the game on and off, play for about 20 seconds to a minute, test the controls on the accessories, etc. I have built this niche over the years and I wouldn’t be successful doing so if it wasn’t for having high standards. Trust me, if you start selling games without testing them, you will receive poor feedback so lets avoid this now by just doing the necessary steps to selling them online. REPAIRS There will come a time when you purchase items that need to be fixed, repaired, and cleaned in order to sell them in working condition. I can go on forever regarding the processes to all of this, but I think it would be better for you to simply search for this info on Youtube. There are a lot of great videos explaining how to fix consoles and games. If you plan on selling in this niche, I would recommend you start by watching these videos and purchasing the affordable tools online that you can use to fix these games. The tools are generally inexpensive and will be will worth the investment in the long run. HOTDOC What is a Hotdoc? This is something that I created that has helped me catalog items in a single working document. It allows me to find items online, where I can snipe an item that is undervalued, purchase it, and resell it for a profit. Included with this program, you will have access to this HOTDOC for every NES video game EVER made. It is in alphabetical order so ​ ​ you can easily find the games, but not only that, there are hot links that will show you how much the games are selling on Amazon FBA for, a general used price, and a link to find those exact games on eBay. Since I created this document for myself, I have saved so much time when it comes to sourcing video games for my niche that it is truly amazing. It is all about the price points when sourcing/sniping these game. I don’t have to run around searching for these games in the field! I can now do it from the luxury of my home with a quick couple clicks of the button. There is no doubt this has saved me the most valuable commodity we all have and that is time. If you use this information I have provided to you, there is really no excuse why you can’t make excellent money doing exactly what I’m doing. © PICK4PROFIT/ Michael Franco 2015 ­ All Rights Reserved SNIPING TOOLS Below you will find a list of services and programs that will help you snipe your items better. GIXEN ­ this is by far one of the best services to use online today ​ IFTTT ­ this is another great tool you can use to be alerted when items hit the online ​ marketplace, craigslist, etc. OTHER SOURCING LOCATIONS With the hotdoc technology, you can find endless products to sell online and you can also use this tool on the go. If you download this PDF document to your phone or store it in Google Drive, you can access it from anywhere. This is great because you never know when you are out and about if you will run into these games and systems. You will save time without typing in each game on websites, you can easily scroll through the list to find what the sell price is, or click a button to see what it is currently selling for on Amazon FBA. I have had great success using this tool at the following locations: Thrift Stores Garage Sales Flea Markets Pawn Shops Auctions HOW TO SELL There are lots of ways to sell video games online, but the #1 outlining fact is the condition. Condition will bring the money from Brand New in the package to Acceptable condition. Below I have outlined the condition requirements I use when selling video games. The biggest take away here is to make sure you describe your item in the condition notes so the buyers know exactly what they are getting. Pictures are a must if you want top dollar! Brand New ­ An item still sealed in plastic and has never been opened. ​ Used ­ Like New ­ An item that is untouched and in pristine condition. The package can be ​ opened, but the contents must be brand new. Used ­ Very Good ­ An item that is gently used and is complete. ​ Used ­ Good ­ An item that is in working condition, but is not complete and may have some ​ signs of wear.

  • Huffin' and Puffin': Can Exercise Games Make the Finish Line?
    Huffin’ And Puffin’: Can Exercise Games Make the Finish Line? Ruth Lin STS 145 Case Study March 18, 2002 Beads of sweat roll down your face. Your chest heaves up and down as you try to catch your breath. Muscles you never knew you had ache from the workout you just gave them. Sounds like a day at the gym? Not this time. You’ve actually been exercising while playing a video game. Some people think exercise video games is an oxymoron. Nintendo didn’t think so. The year was 1988. Parents were concerned that their children were playing sedentary video games all day, exercising only their thumbs and vocal cords. Based on their belief that exercise could indeed be combined with the fun of video games, Nintendo came out with the NES Power Pad, a Twister-like foot pad in which players used their feet to control the game instead of the standard hand control. The goal was to provide the first games in a new genre of video games – exercise games. Why not combine the fun of video games with the value of exercise? It sounded like a good idea, but the Power Pad didn’t catch on and was a commercial failure. Konami’s Dance Dance Revolution (DDR), a beat/dance game that became popular a decade later, can also be categorized as an exercise game – it has similar input controls as the Power Pad and even has a “diet mode”. Perhaps Nintendo did not succeed in defining the new exercise game genre, but with the success of Dance Dance Revolution, exercise games may not have been terminated forever.

  • Analysis of Innovation in the Video Game Industry
    Master’s Degree in Management Innovation and Marketing Final Thesis Analysis of Innovation in the Video Game Industry Supervisor Ch. Prof. Giovanni Favero Assistant Supervisor Ch. Prof. Maria Lusiani Graduand Elena Ponza Matriculation number 873935 Academic Year 2019 / 2020 I II Alla mia famiglia, che c’è stata quando più ne avevo bisogno e che mi ha sostenuta nei momenti in cui non credevo di farcela. A tutti i miei amici, vecchi e nuovi, per tutte le parole di conforto, le risate e la compagnia. A voi che siete parte di me e che, senza che vi chieda nulla, ci siete sempre. Siete i miei fiorellini. Senza di voi tutto questo non sarebbe stato possibile. Grazie, vi voglio bene. III IV Abstract During the last couple decades video game consoles and arcades have been subjected to the unexpected, swift development and spread of mobile gaming. What is it though that allowed physical platforms to yet maintain the market share they have over these new and widely accessible online resources? The aim of this thesis is to provide a deeper understanding of the concept of innovation in the quickly developing world of video games. The analysis is carried out with qualitative methods, one based on technological development in the context of business history and one on knowledge exchange and networking. Throughout this examination it has been possible to explore what kind of changes and innovations were at first applied by this industry and then extended to other fields. Some examples would be motion control technology, AR (Augmented Reality) or VR (Virtual Reality), which were originally developed for the video game industry and eventually were used in design, architecture or in the medical field.

  • Star Fox Adventures: Da Dinosaur Planet Al Prodotto Finale
    Star Fox Adventures: da Dinosaur Planet al prodotto finale Sbaglio o ultimamente qui su Dusty Rooms, fra Thunder Force e Ikaruga, abbiamo un po’ la testa fra le nuvole? Che scendere dalle nostre navicelle da combattimento sia la cosa più saggia da fare? Oggi vi racconteremo dello sviluppo di un gioco molto controverso, sviluppato nell’arco di molti anni e arrivato al pubblico con sembianze totalmente diverse da quelle originali e che compromise il solidissimo rapporto fra Nintendo e Rare, facendo diventare quest’ultima compagnia un’esclusiva di Microsoft. Visto il suo 16esimo anniversario dell’uscita (che ricorreva due giorni fa), oggi parleremo di Star Fox Adventures, un gioco dai giudizi contrastanti e che ricordò al mondo che è meglio che Fox McCloud rimanga all’interno del suo Arwing – o magari che scenda solo per prendere a cazzotti i suoi colleghiNintendo per il Super Smash Bros. corrente. Dunque, la risposta alla nostra precedente domanda è semplicemente: NO! Uno standard troppo alto Nel 1997 arriva Star Fox 64 (Lylat Wars in Europa), reboot del già ottimo Star Fox uscito nel 1993 su Super Nintendo, un gioco che riprendeva in parte molti assett diStar Fox 2, titolo essenzialmente pronto già allora ma che vide solo nel 2017 un rilascio ufficiale sulloSnes Classic Mini. Il gioco uscito in bundle colrumble pack, feature che diventò uno standard per la costruzione dei controller nell’industria videoludica, diventò incredibilmente popolare e, fino alla fine dei giorni del Nintendo 64, rimase uno dei titoli di bandiera della console;

  • Samantha Losben
    Losben 1 Samantha Losben Handling Complex Media April 19, 2011 Assignment #1 Preserving Nintendo’s Duck Hunt In the mid 1980s, home video game systems began to revitalize after the game market crash of 1983 as a result of over saturation of the market. One of the leading game systems to emerge afterwards was the Japanese company Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). Nintendo became a fan favorite with the introduction of popular games such as Super Mario Bros., Legend of Zelda, Paperboy, Donkey Kong, and many more. Several popular games were spin-offs of other games, for instance Donkey Kong led to a Super Mario Bros spin-off. Some games were sold as combinations, giving players an option to play different games on the same cartridge. One such popular “bonus game” was Duck Hunt, which was originally featured as a “B-Side” game on the original Super Mario Bros., which was often included with the original NES console. However, Duck Hunt was a unique game, which required additional hardware. Throughout the later part of the 20th century and early 21st century, gaming systems continued to advance. NES, along with its competitors such as Sony Playstation and Sega introduced several models and different generations. Nintendo introduced Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, and most recently Nintendo Wii. Several classic and popular games from the original NES were re-introduced or re-imagined on the newer consoles; however, some games remain only a memory to the gaming fan base. Duck Hunt was a unique game that is physically attached to the original NES. As a unique gaming experience that was never truly Losben 2 replicated, Duck Hunt is a historic game experience that needs to be preserved.
