I have been a video game collector since the early 90s. And over the years i have collected a lot of games, consoles, action figures and merchandise. But just like everybody else, i don´t have unlimited space for everything in my ever growing collection. So one day when i went through my collection, i noticed that i had quite a few duplicates. So i thought for myself “Why don´t i just try to sell all my duplicates on Ebay?”.

Well, here´s the thing. Ebay is not all that hard to start using. But it´s a real pain in the behind to try to sell video game collectables on Ebay. And i´m going to tell you why. First off, it´s rather expensive to list and sell items on Ebay (they also charge you a procentage of your total sell), there´s a lot of competition, people play dirty (some people don´t pay when they have won an item).

It´s also a lot about luck and timing (to sell the right items and the right time). Trust me, i know. As i´ve been using Ebay since 2007. I should also point out that you have to be an established Ebay store (or name) in order to sell a lot of items. As Ebay is just as much about selling great items, as it´s about being a well-known ebay seller with a high rank (good customer feedback and so on).

And to be honest, Ebay is much better for buyers than it is for sellers. As the sellers usually end up with the short end of the stick (the buyer get´s a really low price on an item that´s rather expensive).

I´m not saying that the sellers should rip people off (like some game stores does. No names mentioned…). I´m talking about a fair deal for both buyers and sellers. And just the other day i was contacted by one of the founders of Squireel (which would be a website dedicated to and for Gamers and video game collectors), and Squireel might just solve all my problems.

But “hopefully” it will be well worth the wait. So if you´re a collector of video games, movies, comics and what not. Then you should checkout Squireel asap =)

The pain

Collectors nowadays are divided between Facebook groups, forums, blogs and a lot more unpleasant platforms which are multiplying the number of registrations. They don’t have a complete tool where everything is centralized in an ergonomic and easy-to-use way.

This is why we are creating Squireel.What is Squireel ?
