Several months back after I added the “Make As Offer” icon to http://www.videogamepriceguides.com/ I had a wild idea of making ridiculously low offers on a bunch of games to see what kind of return or response I would get.
To do this experiment I’ve decided on the following rules:
- The Nintendo game must have an average price of $5.00 or more
- Shipping for the game must not be more than 3.99
- There must be 25 copies or more available
- The seller must have a rating of 98.5% or better
- No offer will be for more than $1 unless the price with shipping is less than $4.99
- The game must be located in the 48 states
Anyways, I don’t have the worlds largest budget so I’m going to limit this experiment to five games only. The ones I’ve picked are as follows:
Game #1: Battletoads… averages about $10. Shipping is free, so I’m offering $4.99
Game #2: Thunder & Lightning… averages about $11. Shipping is $2.92 so I’m offering $2.07
Game #3: Duck Tales… averages about $11. Shipping is $1.90 so I’m offering $3.09
Game #4: Clu Clu Land… averages about $12. Shipping is $3.00 so I’m offering $1.99
Game #5: Maniac Mansion… averages about $12. Shipping is free, so I’m offering $4.99
Best offers can run on for 48 hours. I’ll post an update after all five offers expire…
