The Internet was first developed as a means of mass communication, but it has become something much more than that: it has become the world's biggest marketplace. The Internet is often the first place shoppers turn to for what they are looking for. That is one of the most important reasons anyone looking to sell video games should strongly consider selling them online. You will have a much better chance of selling or trading your video games with customers within the entire United States than you will at your local game trader store or pawn shop.

There are some important points to consider when looking for a website to sell your games on - there are many places you can sell your used video games. They range from an auction type of setting (eBay) to an individual sale store front, or to an online retailer. The fastest way to get needed cash for your used games is to sell the games to an online or brick-and-mortar retailer. Typically, online stores can afford to pay for your games and systems since they don't incur the overhead that retail stores do.

Another popular method is a combination of the store front combined with active communication abilities so sellers can talk with their potential buyers. Some sites allow selling but not trading so if you are interested in exchanging video games rather than selling them this is an important aspect to check for.

When considering what to sell, the most popular used video game systems are the Xbox 360, Wii, Playstation 3, and Playstation 2. Older game versions such as the NES, Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, and Sega Master System sell well to those that love the thrill of collecting what they hope may become collector's items, and of course, to the those people that still operate those classic consoles, but most pawn shops and retail stores will not take the older systems, as they do not sell well to their (somewhat limited) customer base. Local pawn shops, or retail stores that allow resale will have limited sales of older units, but if you are selling older game styles you have a much better chance online where your potential customer base is millions of times larger than any possible customer base locally.

Should you choose to go the more difficult route of selling the games to consumers yourself, something to look for when deciding on a site to sell a video game on or to is how much traffic the site receives. There are several online sources where you can check a website's ranking for free. It is best to use a rank checker that gives the rank of a variety of sources, not a dedicated rank checker than only gives one sites rank for the site. Rank is given to a website between 1 and 10 and the higher the number the better. This indicates that a website has a large volume of traffic as well as incoming links. That is important to you because it indicates a large potential customer base. Many online video game sales sites will boast their rank or traffic right on their pages because it is a way to attract sellers.

Perhaps even more important than a website's traffic is how easy and comfortable it feels for you to use. Spend a little time looking around each sales site and learning the methods they use to sell video games as well as how you can communicate with buyers. Pick the website that you feel most comfortable with. You will also need to check each website's TOS (Terms of Service) to check for any problematic demands they might make, and to compare the prices they charge with the prices of other websites you are considering. Most TOS policies are standard but always check them because there may be a website that makes an attempt to sneak things by sellers who do not read the 'fine print'.

Selling online is easy and fun when you take the precautions you need to feel good about the site you are dealing with. If you are looking to get the best possible prices for your used video games and systems in the shortest amount of time, doing some research first will insure you get the best possible prices for your games and consoles.
