Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: broken arrow, ok Age: 27 | FS: nintendo wii - how much should i ask? i got to thinking this morning about selling our wii. i talked to my wife since she is the only one that plays the thing, and shes fine with selling it. my problem is trying to figure out how much to ask for it because of ebay. i see them going for $350+ on there, even some used ones!
how much should i sell it for? heres what i would be selling - Nintendo Wii w/ box and retail packaging
- wii sports
- wii play
- 4 wiimotes
- 3 nunchucks (one is still in package)
also worth knowing is that its about 9 months old, but has maybe 15hrs of play on it, so let me know what you guys think i should ask for it outright, how much i would/could expect from ebay, and if your interested feel free to PM me an offer
i wont really be able to cut deals because we are pretty broke right now and this money would be going towards bills and so i could maybe stop working so much overtime

| $350 is fair because of the # of Wiimotes and nunchuks. Ask that. | |

Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: broken arrow, ok Age: 27 | i went ahead and put it on craigslist just for giggles, heres how i figured it
console - 250
extra controllers (motes and chucks)- 180
total retail is 430, i figured add a little extra for rarity, set my number over the top to leave room for offering, i set the price at 550 obo
not sure what we paid for the warranty but i think i should be able to get 450 AT LEAST | |

| Well, my rough figures is that you're offering about $480 worth of equipment. $350 is fair without including shipping. You could try $400 including shipping. Did you get the free Wii jackets too? That may help as well.
On a side note, if money is that tight, I wouldn't stop working on the overtime. Keep working it as much as you can, and put the money away for those raining days or the unexpected. | |

| I know what you're talking about name. I use to work two jobs, and go to school part time. A slow week was 60 hours, plus whatever time I needed for school. Now, I'm just a bum with one crappy job. Good stuff on the potential sale. Good luck. | |

| Im pretty sure your WII is in Great condition, prolly Mint, and you have enough Motes and chucks, but the lack of games at the moment, make it priceless.
TO ME that is, but you will have a better chance on Craigs list and E-Bay, Thanks for throwing it up though. | |
