What to offer
i
Start at the suggested offer, counter up, and walk away above the no-deal price. The suggested offer is rounded down to an easy number, so it can leave a little more than 30%.
Where to sell is ranked best first; tap one to check its price. Quickflips pays its quote with no fees and free shipping. eBay shows the typical sold price; offers use what's left after fees.
The % is your return on what you pay: profit divided by your price. Profit is what you'd get selling the way shown, less what you paid.
eBay figures are our estimate: the typical sold price less about 13.6% in eBay fees and $1.40 for the order fee and packing. eBay takes longer to sell, so its offers leave a bigger return.
Include shipping in what you pay, and check condition and region before you buy.
| Condition | Best way to sell | Suggested offer | Good deal | Fair | No deal |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Loose | $14+$6 profit · 43% | $15+$5 profit · 30% | $16+$4 profit · 20% | $17+$3 profit · 15% | |
| Missing manual | $11+$4 profit · 36% | $12+$3 profit · 20% | $13+$2 profit · 10% | $14+$1 profit · 5% | |
| Complete in box | $20+$15 profit · 75% | $26+$9 profit · 30% | $28+$7 profit · 20% | $30+$5 profit · 15% |
* eBay is the typical sold price. Offers and profit use what's left after eBay's fees and packing, about 13.6% plus $1.40.
At a garage sale or flea market? For a loose one, offer $14 and don't go past $17. That still leaves a fair return when you sell.
