Virtual Used Game Auction (South Portland Pickup Only)

March 6, 2021 @ 9:00 am - March 7, 2021 @ 5:00 pm
We are bringing back the Virtual Used Game Auction! We won’t be able to host the event as we have traditionally in the first half of the year. The sale will take place over a weekend, 9am on March 6th to 5pm on March 7th, on Facebook. To participate in the sale we will need your contact info, please fill out the form at the link below. At the end of the sale we will ignore any bids that we do not have contact info for.
All the games will be in an album on Facebook with their name, condition, and starting bid (the price set by the person who dropped it off). Starting at 9am on March 6th you can comment on the photo of an item with your bid, as long as it is equal to the starting bid (for the initial bid) or higher than all previous bids (for subsequent bids). Any new bids must be at least $1 higher than the previous bid. Any edited comments will be disregarded. Bidding will close at 5pm on Sunday, March 7th.
To help you keep track of activity on games you are interested in, we highly recommend that you ensure that notifications are turned on for each game’s photo. On desktop and mobile: when viewing a game’s photo, select the icon with three dots in the upper right corner of your browser window or phone screen, about halfway down this list, look for the option to “Turn on notifications for this post.” This will help you keep track of new bids on games as they occur. During the last sale, the most common problem encountered was that not everyone would see the highest bid on an item. Be sure that when you look at the comments, you change the setting from “Most Relevant” to “Newest” to ensure that you see the most recent bid.
Any bid you place might be the highest and final bid on that game which commits you to that purchase, please consider that as you place bids. Everyone who participates in the sale must fill out contact form at the link above.
We will do our best to answer your questions about the games, but we expect it will be very busy and we may not get to every question. We will only respond to questions that can be answered by information on the outside of the box. We will not be opening any of the games so there is a long enough quarantine period for the game contents.
Although we expect our doors to be open for in-store shopping, any customers in the store before or during the sale will not be able to view the games. This is to reduce the handling of the games and keep the sale fair for everyone. We will contact all bidders in the sale to review the items they won and process transactions in the week following the sale. Purchases will be available for pick-up in South Portland ONLY starting 3/19. We will not ship games bought in the Used Game Sale.
For those who submit games: The drop off window for games will be 2/1-2/24. Before dropping off your games, please fill out the form at the link below:
Gift cards and any unsold games will be available for pick-up starting 3/19, we will not ship unsold games. The full amount bid on all of your sold games will be credited to your gift card!
