Best way to sell old PC games?

[CrazedZooChimp]

So I'm moving to a new apartment in a month or so, and I'm thinking that it's probably about time I sell off some of my old PC games that I have filling shelves (after my parents made me take them all out of their house). Does anyone have any experience selling or getting rid of old games, or any recommended sites for doing so easily? And to be clear, I'm talking really old hard copies, pretty much all with boxes and manuals, ranging from like early 90s to late 00s.

Of course, if anyone here might be interested in some I can take a full inventory and post it (honestly for most of them I'd be happy to send them just for the cost of shipping).

Yeah, worst case I'll put some up on ebay, but at least a chunk I don't think are worth enough for me to bother. I was hoping to find somewhere I could just sell or give away a whole bunch of them at once (after I decide which ones I'm definitely keeping).

You can just download everything these days, old and new games. So nobody is going to buy them. Toss them in the trash and call it a day.

Good question, I'm starting to actually inventory 'em all and will post the full list hopefully in a couple days. So far I've got 59. Man, I guess between myself and two brothers we collected a lot of games in the last 30 years...

Any 90s games in original boxes you're looking for Sniper?

Maybe, but some people like getting the whole set, and I'd feel bad just throwing them out. Plus, I don't know if you actually can download "Codename: Iceman" or "Willy Beamish" anywhere...

Sadly I don't, although now reading about it I kind of wish I did
