Managed to sell the following stuff:

Games:
-Super Mario All Stars + Super Mario World ($10.50)
-Super Mario RPG ($16.50)
-Kirby Super Star ($12.50)
-Earthbound ($86.88)

Player's guides:
-Super Mario Bros. 3 ($9.99)
-Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past ($20.60)

Other:
-two controllers ($.99)

Total amount made: $157.96

Even though nothing else sold out of the nineteen auctions I had in all going on, I think the stuff that didn't sell might be worth relisting to end on Saturday night. Most auctions had at least one watcher (and usually more than one). Someone did bid SMW2: Yoshi's Island, but retracted their bid because they entered the wrong amount. ($10.00 for something I listed for $9.99. Right...) Three of the games that did sell were all bought by the same person (Rock 30 Games), so that suggests I've got a potential collector for more of them. If I have each auction end five minutes apart from one another, that might give people a chance to focus on one at a time. And, Mom did say that the Buy It Now prices were rather high, and since no one bought anything for those prices, I might as well save myself a few bucks and eliminate them upon relisting everything.

Those Nintendo Power magazines that I bought, mainly for an e-Reader card that the seller falsely claimed was included? Yeah, I forgot to mention that I tried to sell those too, for $19.99. They got one watcher. In case they would sell, I packed them into a cereal box and used a styrofoam block that I found to keep them in place. Well, if those mags were delivered to me in a satellite dish box, then that rules out the need to find a standard brown cardboard box just to mail things out.

Someone commented that they liked the worn condition of the manuals that were co-packaged with five of the games I had up. With that said, I've got plenty of manuals for games which I don't have, and maybe I'll put those up as well. Not expecting to make much off of any of them, but it would be nice to give them a new home and have them out of here.

Mom tells me that 9:00 P.M. on Sundays are her strategic time to end auctions. However, I'm thinking that that time of night on a Saturday might be even better, because parents aren't getting their kids ready for bed, so they might have time to get in on the action. Mom said that in the middle of the day is when most people are working, and I already know that Friday nights are no good for reasons specified here. So, yeah.
