Mostly sold on Ebay in the late 90s when they were one of the few games in town. Ebay sucks now compared to alternatives. Since their commission is based on sales price and not shipping fees, I set a very high shipping fee, and note the high shipping fee in bold letters at the beginning of the product description, and that avoids most of the commission. No getting around Paypal fees unless you accept check only.

There is no such thing as free shipping (or free anything). As my wife likes to say, "it's free after you pay".

I prefer to post things on Craigslist since it's free. No commission, no shipping, no Paypal fees. Just cash. Plus the experience is personal and you get to hear how people are going to use the thing they just bought. I even had a guy write a poem inspired by an ad I posted. He wasn't interested in the item, but emailed the poem.

Since I itemize my tax deductions, I'm finding that most things are just easier to donate and write off than to individually sell.
