How much would you pay?

Ok, so I have been thinking about selling my Xbox 360 because I hardly ever use it. I've had it for less than a year and I've played probably a total of 10 times. So I have some used items and some unused/unopened items. i did research on current costs of everything and the total came up to about $550, which I thought was a lot. Here is a list of what I have:

Xbox 360 game consoloe (hardly used)
2 wireless controllers (1 unopened)
Headset
Xbox 360 wireless adapter (new sells for $99)
Xbox 360 play & charge kit (unopened)
Games: GTA 4 (unopened), Lost Via Domus (unopened), Halo 3, Tetris Evolution, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Marve Ultimate Alliance

How much would you pay for all of those things? Since I am so unsure about whether I def. want to sell it or not, I told the person that was interested that I would take $500 for it and that was kind of like a take it all or leave it all price. Any ideas? I could be way off! haha

Also, I have a few months left to xbox live and I wasn't sure if this could be given to someone else. Probably not but if you know, please feel free to share! :)

Thanks! :)

Also if you get a foreign console you'll likely have to buy foreign games for it due to the different region coding and DRM bull crap.; ▶ Reply to This

That would have an effect on how much it's worth as well. I'd say around $450 to $500 is a good price for all of it. It's never a good idea to sell a used product for the same price as a new one. Believe me I've tried. Even if it's hardly used at all the simple fact you had it first makes it used.

You could also sell everthing seperatley and get a little more out of it. It's more of a hassle, but sometimes it can pay off. Bundling things usually makes the value of the individual items lower. For example the controller. Regular price is about $45. Used by itself maybe $30. And used in the bundle probably closer to $20. Also, I'm pretty sure the LIVE subscription is a wash, and can't be carried over.

I broke that down way too much, but hope it helps.; ▶ Reply to This

The Wii is geared a lot more to very casual gaming. Pick up and play. Not a whole lot to delve into. What you see is what you get. Plus for what you would get out of selling the XBOX you could get the Wii, a few games, and accessories, cause the Wii is the cheapest out of the main consoles.

Just a thought; ▶ Reply to This

Hardware tends to plummet dramatically in price the moment it leaves the store shelf. Like say 50%. That's no exxageration, and the 360 is readily available new anywhere, and Microsoft just dropped the price on it again.

Used hardware, especially the 360 which is starting to get long in the tooth is always a biq ? Buying used is a scary thing especially electronics. I mean,, even new these things could break down, and you have to jump through a dozen hoops often to get your money back or get it fixed. It can be a nightmare. Would you be willing to warrantee any of it short term?? I thought not.

The one good thing I see here is that you have original packing on some of these things and this tends to resonate as a positive with many. I have sold on Ebay for many years now with lot's of success. I'd suggest going there and seeing what these items have recently sold for used and what was included or not that maybe helped them to sell. Good luck.; ▶ Reply to This
