Game Assassin is structured in a similar way to typical online stores in order to make navigation as simple as possible for you.

The Website Layout

Categories

We have 4 main Categories which you can see in the navigation bar near the top of the page. Clicking on Playstation 3, Nintendo Wii or Xbox 360 will take you to the dedicated areas of the website for each respective Console Platform.

If you click 'Playstation 3' for example, you will then see 2 further navigation panels appear in the left column of the page which you can use to browse for games in different ways. The first panel titled 'PS3 Categories' allows you to browse by different Game Genres such as 'Action & Adventure' and the second panel allows you to browse for Game Titles Alphabetically.

Low Prices & Big Profits

In order to help get you started, we select a small handful of Titles which are either priced really low or have a big profit margin waiting for you to take advantage of and sell on eBay.

After clicking on either Playstation 3, Nintendo Wii or Xbox 360 you will see 2 Boxes appear in the Centre of the Page. One is titled 'Low Prices' which displays a selection of the Lowest Priced Games from various Suppliers for that Console.  The second Box entitled 'Big Profits', displays a number of Games which currently have a big profit margin for you to sell on EBay. 

Quick Search

In the column on the right side of the page you will also see a Quick Search which you can use to search for Games by entering keywords. 

Product Details

The Summary

As it suggests, the Summary gives you a quick overview of the information given to you in more detail further down the page.
Including...

1. The Lowest price from any supplier for this Item

2. The Average price which the Item is currently selling for on EBay

3. Your Profit Potential if you were to buy from the lowest priced supplier and sell for the average price on EBay.

4. The lowest price which the Item is currently selling for on Amazon Market Place

5. Your Profit Potential if you were to buy from the lowest priced supplier and sell for the lowest price on Amazon.

Suppliers

The Suppliers Box is a list of all of the Suppliers who stock the Item in their Store and is ordered by Price with the cheapest first.
There are 4 Columns in this box:
Name - The Name of the Supplier
Unit Price - The Price they are selling the item for on their Website
Delivery - Delivery Cost (usually free)
In Stock - is the Item currently in stock on the Supplier's Website.
Buy Stock - Click 'Buy Stock' to go straight to the Supplier's Website.

EBay Profit Potential

This Graph shows an estimate of how much profit you can potentially buying from each supplier and selling on EBay.

The amount shown is worked out like this:
Game Assassin automatically finds up to 50 new items on EBay which match the Item you are viewing, it then works out the average price from these and then minuses the supplier price giving you your 'Profit Potential'.

- Note: the average price itself is displayed in the 'Summary' Box near the top of the page

If the Profit Potential is showing £0.00 this means that there is no Profit to be made buying from this Supplier and selling on EBay at the moment.

Prices of Games often change, so it is always wise to keep checking this Graph a couple or more times per week.

The price you sell your Items for is of course up to you and you may decide to increase your profit by selling at a higher price or try to compete at the lowest price for a quick sale. No matter how you choose to go about selling, this Graph should be a starting point for you to work from.

At the bottom left corner of the eBay Profit Potential Box you will see the words 'view completed listings'. This is a link to the completed on eBay which show you recent auctions which have ended, this is great because you can quickly see how much people are paying for the item and if the item is selling.
Upon clicking the link, you will first need to log into your eBay account before viewing these stats.  

Amazon Profit Potential

The Amazon Profit Potential Graph is used by people who want to sell on the Amazon.co.uk Marketplace. The price you can sell at on Amazon can often be a lot greater than eBay so it's a good idea to have the option of selling on both available to you.

It works in the same way as the eBay Graph except that profit potential is calculated from the lowest price available from a seller on the marketplace.
