Topic: Selling off some DS games

* Don't know if this is posted in the right place, so mods feel free to move it if needed. *

Hey guys, I'm looking to sell a few of my DS games.  The titles in question are Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and Freshly Picked: Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland.  Both games are the UK versions so they are translated into English already.  I've got a copy of Final Fantasy III (American version) w/the Brady Hint Book.  I'm looking for $15 each w/$5 to cover shipping.  If anyone wants more than one the shipping can be combined.  Finally, I have a case only for Advance Wars: Days of Ruin with all of the paperwork and instructions perfectly intact.  It would be great for someone who only has the cartridge.  Someone can have that, paying only the cost of shipping.

I do have a single Wii game to get rid of as well.  The Japanese version of Tatsunoku vs Capcom.  I only played it a few times and didn't really care for it.  With the American version coming out in the not so distant future, I get that no one will be interested, but it doesn't hurt to ask.  Looking for about $30 plus shipping.

PM me if you're interested in anything or have questions.  If I get no bites, I'll go with Ebay I guess.  Just thought I'd throw them out here since you guys would appreciate the games more and I know they'd be in a good home.

Edit: Forgot the FF3 game.
Edit 2: Forgot the Tatsunoku vs Capcom game.   
Edit 3: Forgot the Conduit game.  (see 3rd post)

I'll take Tingle.

I'll take Tingle. 

Looks like rbtr beat you to it, but if he's willing to pass on it then it's all yours.

I also found one more game that I'm unloading.  The Conduit on the Wii.  Say $25 plus shipping for that as well.

Heh, Tingle is like 5€ new in bins around here, I guess he didn't sell many games...

Phooy.

Buy them and start exporting them to the US.  You'll make a bundle.

Sorry vudu, I'll let you get the next one...

[vudu]

Not a problem.  You really should post what you want in the thread so you don't get others' hopes up!

Well, Tingle is gone.  I still have Fire Emblem, FF3 w/hint book, the free AW:DR case, import Tatsunoko vs Capcom, and the Conduit up for grabs.

I would like to get fire emblem, but given international borders and banking, I have no idea how I would pay you with out eating more fees than a unpaid parking ticket. New Zealand btw. I also assume that is USD. If you have any ideas, I would be happy to take you up on the offer.

Some quick google searches have given me some estimates.

Game is $15 US dollars = $21 NZ dollars (found here)
Shipping is $13 = $18 NZ dollars (found here)

Looks like the total would be $28 US dollars ($39 NZ dollars) and 6-10 day shipping.  Whatcha' think?

That sounds good, but you miss understood the question a little. The question is HOW would I pay you. If I did an international bank transfer I eat a one off $25NZD fee which costs more than the game!. I can get that down a little more, but the question still remains. And don't suggest paypal since they are an unregulated mess I wouldn't touch with anything that didn't deserve to die.

HOW would I pay you without incurring such high fees that doesn't involve sending cash through the mail(Asinine)?

I could send you something that can only be found in NZ, but I figure you want cash. This is the land of milk and honey. (Also a lot of cow waste for said milk). I also could buy something online of near equivalent value.

Ah, good point.  Ummm, I don't know.  You could send me Virtual Console games, but I bet that won't work since I assume you're in the European market.  Let me think on it.

Paypal isn't that bad. I use it. All I did was link it to my bank card and they just take money out like Amazon or any other online store would. That way there is no worries about balances or what-not in the Paypal system. They do charge a US Dollar for money transfers not tied to eBay but I've never been charged for more than that.

Granted, the friend I gave money to that way was a US resident like myself so I have no idea if they have a different policy to deal with foreign money/conversions. But I have yet to have an issue with Paypal. I think I have used it to pay for foreign orders but they were all through eBay which does the currency conversion for you.
