Strategic selling of my BG3.0s??

englishviola · June 2010

Ok, so here's the thing. In light of all the ridiculous hype about the BG 4.0s that just came out, I was thinking about the 8 brand new BG 3.0s I have in DD's closet that I bought when I thought I would have 2 in BGs (DS grew out of them right after DD was born). I also have a bag of like 18 used BGs that a friend gave me that I will keep for DD.

So the question is, what do I do with the brand new, in package 3.0s I have? Sell them now? Wait until they are completely unavailable (and thus, coveted and then sell them? I don't want to hustle anyone, but I'd like to get close to what I paid for them. I bought them from cottonbabies but it was so long ago I don't have the receipt or I would send them back -- they're still in the original box they shipped in!

Are they discontinued colors?

Besides that feature I'm not sure why someone would pay new prices for them when they can get the "improved" version for the same price. Unless they are the good (bright) colors or the 4.0 turns out to suck. But maybe that's me...

I think the fact that they are NIP warrants selling them to close to what they are worth anyway.

but also, like PP said though I don't think you could recoup all your $$ due to the fact that the 4.0's can be purchased and are the same thing, essentially.

I would sell them sooner rather than later. If most people like the 4.0 better than the 3.0, the longer you wait the less you will be able to sell them for. You are going to need to price them below what you would be able to buy them new for (the buy 5 get 1 free price) and doing that I would bet you could sell them quickly. $136 would be the price you could get 8 new ones for, I'd try selling them for $120.

This is almost verbatim what I was going to suggest Yes

Cottonbabies has a 30 day return policy anyway. I would sell them for atleast $15/pc. That way you get most of your money back on them but you're not ripping someone off and they feel they are still getting a decent deal on them.

Excellent Suggestion. I'm debating if I should try CL, SS, or DS. I've had some NB stuff on CL and not getting any hits.

I just sold some on my local board for $15/each. They were brand new and still in the package. I just decided that I didn't need that many, and that I would rather have some other options.

I think $15 is still a good deal, because you don't have to pay shipping, and you aren't required to purchase x amount, KWIM?
