Guys, what's the best way to sell games on the spot for cash without messing with Craigslist?

Trying to Avoid Ebay and Paypal if possible.

Online cash and M.O. sales or offline mom and pop game store are my only ideas if you're avoiding all of that.

Joe nailed it, but I'll add that depending on your area and the shop itself, some pawn shops can be pretty good too.

OfferUp. Its sort of similar to craigslist but a lot better in some ways. Worse in other ways

Defiantly mom and pop shops long as they are reputable. Some places are clearly shitholes trying to rip you off.

There are also local facebook groups.
Brick and Mortar stores you are going to get 1/10 their value, but you will get something.

I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned but I was thinking you could wear a large trench coat and randomly open your jacket with various game titles on display inside. Wanna buy a (watch) game?

Haha, was thinking this too. Though instead you dress like G-Mantle and keep the games stashed on the inside of your cape. ;)

If you want hassle free and fast cash for your games then mom and pop shops usually don't offer much. I know most local shops around here only do about 33% cash and a bit more for trade credit. I never traded on offer up or any FB groups so I can't comment on that.

Yea, shops won't work for me since most of my stuff is pretty pricey and they probably won't have a clue what it is. For example, Imagine me showing up to a one of those small video game stores with a sigma supergun or a Aes Samsho V Special. Don't do FB or Instagram or any of that social media stuff.

I guess craigslist or ebay local pick up only would be the best option.

you gotta have a friend or family member that can post it up for you on a FB group. Avoiding paypal is pretty hard when not dealing face to face. Most ppl see it as a redflag when somebody wants to deal with moneyorders

Why the fuck are you not accepting Paypal? Of course the obvious answer is neo-geo.com/forums but you don't take Paypal so what you gonna do?

If you end up doing money order, go through the usps. I sold a game on here to a guy that could only do money order. After reading, its safest method money order wise

Why not just post some of the stuff here, and stipulate that you only take money orders.
