So why I have chosen something that seems so remedial for my 4th best moneymaker? Well it’s simple really, selling video games is just that, simple. You don’t need to study or practice for it. Selling used games has made Gamestop more money their new games sales. In fact, they have made millions, literally, hand over fist for years off of the unsuspecting gamer like yourself. Don’t believe me? Read more here.

So if the big fish out there are doing it, why can’t you? Ok ok, so you’re not a million dollar corporation with a diverse stock offering, but hey you have games that you aren’t playing right? Simply dust them off and sell them.

If you’re at all familiar with ebay then you have one of the best outlets to dispose of your used games. Ebay has locked down the market on Online Auctions, and I believe that their market is a fair estimate of how much your game is actually worth in the real world. You could also try selling the games on Amazon. Amazon has been the thorn in ebay’s side for a while now and they just may overtake them for the reigning online sales king. Lastly, you could try selling the games direct to your buyers on Craigslist. There may be someone who is local to you that may be willing to purchase your game, or atleast, trade you for something else. Trading the game opens up a few more venues and websites for your pleasure. If you need an example here, try Goozex.

Upside: You already have games that you play constantly, why not get rid of them when you’re done and/or sick of them. There is also little to no learning curve here, simply have game, will sell.

Downside: You have to spend money to purchase the games and then you will probably sell the game for far less than what you purchased it for. The profits here are limited to your current supply of video games.

Don’t forget to come back tomorrow for the conclusion to the series. I promise it will be an article that you won’t want to miss.
