I'm Sean - great forum!
I've been browsing the forum this morning, and I have to say - really great place here =] I was actually referred to NA by a friend I met on ebay a ways back (Spoonman). Like everyone here it seems, I have always loved video games, and as soon as I started making my own money (um, 1990 lol), I've always bought them.
Anyhow, as things turned out, the arcade side of gaming became my passion =] But along the way, I always loved my old consoles, and amassed a ridiculous amount of stuff. Thing is - it's all been boxed for years, and although I would gladly sell it all - year after year, I take one look at the amount of stuff and say, "Aw hell, I'll do it later..." But now, since I got rid of my storage unit, it's all in my house, and it's just got to go lol
Which brings me here. I'm not a collector by any means. But whether its the fact that I loathe supporting ebay's fees, that I'm a packrat, or that I'm just plain too lazy to do it - the time has come to at least make some effort at cleaning up
As I said to Matt, (Spoonman), I kind of hesitated to join a forum just to sell. Not only is it kind of rude (imo), but as an active member in a few forums myself, I guess I just think it comes off as disrespectful at times... But whatever - that's why I'm making this post. To tell you guys that I think you have a wonderful community here, and that if you guys will have me, I would love the opportunity to sell all my old stuff directly to those who will love & appreciate it =]
Lastly, respect for the forum as a whole. If I offend anyone, showing up here to dump all my stuff - I'm sorry. I just wanted to be straight with you guys is all. As much as I can't stand ebay, I have been on it for years, and have perfect feedback for reference, & excellent forum rep as well. Once again, I wish you guys happy gaming, and if the stuff of my youth can add to your enjoyment, I'm glad to offer it!
So before I go posting in the sales section or anything, let me know what you guys think here, and if you tell me to f**k off, no problem dudes! lol

One of the reasons we Buy/Sell/Trade here is to help out other collectors in what they are seeking. Here, with ebay as a non-factor, both parties can usually walk away happy, one with a faster sale, and the other saving some money.
Coming here just to sell I feel will not offend anyone, and who knows, Im sure when you are bored you will browse and find interesting articles along the way to help understand pricing and rarity. Either way, you are welcome, and glad to have you

Thanks for the info man =] I will try and start to get some stuff posted tomorrow/this weekend for sure -
I do have a quick question though, regarding pricing - I've read through the faq/forum rules of course, and that certainly helped with finding ways to determine current values. However, I notice in a lot of posts, people will put "NA price - $xx". Are they getting this price from just the typical sale price on the forum? Or is there a gen. pricing list I'm unaware of? Thanks guys -

If you check out the ezine (current issue here: http://www.nintendoage.com/index.cfm?FuseAction=eZine.Download&issue=11-2009) There is a price guide for loose carts that is updated every issue. Those prices are what people are referring to when they say "NA price."
