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.

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.
