I think eBay is getting less and less interesting when it comes to buy retro games.

The supply seems to dry out a bit, but I think the main problem are the sellers themselves.

Example: The category "Atari" in PC and video games at ebay.at or ebay.de: At the moment 3542 entries are found, but from those are only 131(!!!) "real" auctions, that is less than 4 %!!! The rest are Buy It Now, 99 % of them massively overpriced.

Seems the golden days of ebay in the late 90s and early 00s are long gone.

And I wonder if the situation will change again, when all those BIN sellers notice that they don't sell anything for those BIN prices …

I was lucky enough to find a few US auctions with adequate shipping costs, around $12 to $18 for four to five boxed games. That's ok in my opinion.

Especially with the low priced US$ it is very interesting at the moment to buy from the US (also UK) … IF you find auctions with acceptable shipping costs … and if the seller ships outside the US, but that's an other story …

Game Gavel is one of my hopes too. But as this platform doesn't have so many buyers as ebay, there are also almost no $1 auctions

That sounds good! Are you sure I don't have them yet? (I hope so)

I'll pay you a Döner at the next meeting for the three games
