Sales/Marketing question for video game sales

So I'm having my website re-designed to be a little better than the 1999 site I put together in 5 minutes.



I have a question for you guys, though.  Let me explain the business model thus far:





I sell boxed/more expensive items on eBay.  I sell carts and more common stuff, as well as consoles at the flea.  At the flea, I hand out my business card and a flyer explaining how to clean cart-based games.



The big issue is this, and this is what I'd like to have everyone discuss:



I am still in the midst of selling a friend's collection for him on consignment.  I had to create a 2nd eBay store and a 2nd PayPal account to keep things straight.



My question is:  how do I effectively market the fact that I have "2 websites" on which I'm selling games?  Right now, on my cards, I have a direct link to my website (which has a direct link to the consignment account), as well as a direct link to my "personal" eBay store.  How should I reflect this on my website?



Call one the "online store" and the other be the "discount store?"  I'm really open to suggestions here.



I know obviouisly the best solution is to just get rid of the consignment stuff as fast as possible, but that's a tough road.

    Maybe put the expensive ones or boxes or what not in another category that link into ebay and have a notice up top for auctions and such? That's my best idea...

    You're already doing it correctly, another route to go is blogging with direct linkbacks to your website. Another route alot of people miss is Facebook business pages, this is a goldmine for referrals, free advertising, fans and the such. Blogging is an absolute fantastic idea for getting your name out there, it gives you hits on your website, linkbacks, raises your page rank on google etc etc. I have a few people you could talk to if you're looking for ideas, one of my friends deals with facebook interactive pages, he increases page hits by the 100's. his consultation is free and he is a freaking genius when it comes to marketing. if you'd like his name shoot me a PM if not no big deal either way.
