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

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.

TESTING

Now I’m a big believer in testing everything I sell online. 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.

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. Used Acceptable An item that is in working condition, but is not complete and has significant signs of wear, scratches, marks, etc. Complete in Box This means the game is complete and comes with everything that was included when the item was purchased brand new. This includes the original box, manual, inserts, game, case, etc. Complete This means the item includes the game, slip case, manual.

BUYING IN LOTS & BUNDLES

© PICK4PROFIT/ Michael Franco 2015 All Rights Reserved Another great way to buy video games is to purchase them in lots. Before you dabble into this, you really have to do your homework and find the price points of each item in the lot so you know the highest price you are willing to spend to ensure you can flip them for a profit. Buying lots on eBay is very competitive, but can also be a great way to get a ton of inventory quickly. I’m going to give you my strategy when I’m looking at lots to give you an idea of how I do it. So basically, I pull up the listing with the lot of NES items. I then grab a piece of paper and write down all of the items I see in the lot. Next, I will use the Hotdoc sheet to find the sell prices of each item to see what my maximum sell price would be and then I deduct the fee’s. This will leave me with my break even number. Now, I’m not doing this for free, so I make sure that when I’m bidding or buying a lot that I understand the break even point. This is very important to understand because if you don’t take the time to figure out all the costs, you are just spinning your wheels and you can either set yourself up for a loss or break even. This isn’t the point, we are here to make money! So, if you can add this little tip to your sourcing book, it will help you in the long haul.

AMAZON FBA STRATEGIES

1.) If you see no FBA sellers, this should be a green light for you to find that item and sell it for a higher amount than the merchant fulfilled sellers. I have flipped $4 merchant fulfilled games for $25 on Amazon FBA just because there were no FBA sellers. 2.) Purchasing from your FBA competition. I do this to ensure that I can avoid the race to the bottom and to allow myself to be the only seller FBA. If you play this to your advantage, you can do very well. Yes, it can be time consuming and cost some money, but you will have zero competition. 3.) Purchasing NES games NEW. This can be an awesome opportunity. There are hundreds of NES listings right now that have 1 or 2 FBA sellers selling games Brand New. If you take the time to invest in the asking price the FBA seller is selling the item for, you can easily purchase the new game and send it back into Amazon FBA for a higher price. 4.) Selling under the collectible category is another way you can steer yourself from the competition. Here, you are selling your items as collectible instead of used. 5.) The Long Tail method is where you purchase an item and you are willing to wait it out. Historically, NES video games sell for more money during Quarter 4 holiday rush. You will notice you can sell games for double or even triple the price of what it would be in May. So, if you play this card, you can sit on your games and send them in towards August and wait until everyone sells out. You will make some huge profits doing so, but you will have to wait it out. 6.) Multi Channel Fulfillment this is a game changer! With this option, you send all of your NES games into Amazon FBA and list them on other platforms such as eBay or even your own Ecommerce site. If the item sells on eBay, you create a fulfillment order in Amazon and they send it directly to your customer. As you dabble more and more into this niche, I would strongly encourage you to create your own ecommerce site for video games. If you build it right, you will realize that you don’t need these 3rd party

Final Thoughts Selling video games online has been one of my niches for over ten years and I have made a lot of money doing so. I created this program to share with you a system that truly works. I have thought long and hard about releasing this information to the public in fear that it would ruin my own business. Looking further into, I don’t think that will be the case. There are enough NES games out in the market today where we can all make a very good living just flipping video games. It all comes down to how bad do you want it? Are you going to dedicate yourself? Are you going to commit? The time is now to take advantage of this opportunity by putting in the work to make yourself successful. I have decided to release this because I know this system has worked for me and it will work for you! Now, go out and seize the day! Start sniping these items and flip them on Amazon FBA. I know this system works, and it is time for it to work for you!

Thanks for your Time, Michael Franco
