So I want to sell my video games that I have because I want a 360. I was wondering if someone knew how much I could get for all my stuff at EB, or GameStop.

This is all I want to Sell

PS2 System
Logitech PS2 Wireless Controller
PS2 Wired Controller
Logitech Headset
2 PS2 Memory Cards
Guitar Hero 2 w/wired guitar controller
25 Various PS2 Games
Also, the thing in the back of the PS2 to hook up online

X-Box System
2 X-Box wired controllers
5 Various X-Box Games

Any estimates will be helpful!

Thanks!

It depends on what kind of PS2. The thinner one will bring in more money. However, selling your stuff to gamestop I've found is just a waste of time. They won't give you very much money, and I think all your stuff you give them goes to in store credit. I'm not sure how EB is because I've never sold anything to them. I think your best shot to make top dollar is to try and sell it to kids at school for more than you would get at the game place, but less than they sell it for at the game place. So say they'd pay you 40 for the PS2 and sell it for 80, sell it for 65. Same goes for games.

You might be able to sell it on here too.

Do, NOT! I repeat, NOT! Go to Gamestop. They offered me 30 dollars for an Xbox, 2 controllers, and 14 games. Unless your willing to sell your Xbox and PS2 for like 10 bucks then DON'T go to Gamestop. That might just be the one near me but from my experiences I hate Gamestop...:hot:

Yes, I agree. I'm sure there is someone on EBay willing to buy your system. I think that would be your best choice.

Not really sure. I've never sold anything on there, I just know its a good place to sell stuff haha. I'm sure it can't be too complicated.

Oh just a heads up, I traded an xbox on here for my gloves, and the shipping on it is a little bit expensive. Idk if it was the box size, but mine cost 25 bucks in shipping.'

I've never sold anything on Ebay, but I'm sure theres something that would be a link that is something along the lines of start a new auction. There you would tag it into the catagories you want it in, set your price, your shipping price, preferred payments, and description of the item your putting up for grabs. Don't take me on my wrod for it though, i've never done it before.

And if your doing Ebay, you take payment through paypal which is sort of like an online credit card and when you want to take the money out of your account you just tell you want to transfer the money that you just got paid into your bank account and then it'll do an online transfer like online banking. If paypal isn't your deal, you can always take check or money order and you would just send an email to the winner of the auction telling them where to mail it. Paypal is by far the most effective/safest method of payment however.

I've sold about $1,000 worth of figurines (my dad models/paints/customizes these little figurines for a hobby and sells them) on ebay.
-It's simple to use, you just have to make an account and it will walk you through
-Under the search bar on www.ebay.com type in PS2 or something and see how much they go for, that way you can get a price range
-Put it up for sale!

One problem though, is that when customizing your "bidding" page, it does cost money. For example, if you want a border, or bold words etc. etc. it will cost you money. For me, it costs like $20 to put an item to be bid on.

It's pretty safe, you go through a paypal account type thing.

https://www.paypal.com/

off to the right click on "What is paypal"
view the demo

It's hard to explain in the right words...

Just some walkthrough stuff, look into and see if you like it. Ebay would be your best bet of getting some actual cash, or maybe selling it to your friends/people at school

Go to www.ebay.com type in PS2 console or PS2 games or whatever and click around, see prices and such. Since PS2 is out dated and there is a huge circulation of them (it was a fairly popular console in its time) they won't sell for much. I just clicked around alittle bit and saw that the base system and like a couple of games will sell for like $60.

Definitely sell it on eBay. I just sold a couple of PS3 Games (Madden 08 for $21 and NCAA Football 2008 for $31) when I was offered $25 for the two combined at Gamestop.
