How much value do you think I could get for this on eBay and/or Gamestop? Wii w/ all the chords and controllers and Wii Sports Extra Wiimote and Nunchuck Classic Controller The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Red Steel Trauma Center: Second Opinion Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition Mario Strikers: Charged! Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock w/ controller Super Smash Bros. Brawl And a slew of mediocre GC games: Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and The Lost Ocean Soul Calibur II Def Jam Vendetta Custom Robo Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition Legend of Zelda: Windwaker Lord of the Rings: The Third Age Simpsons: Hit & Run Timesplitters II Phantasy Star Online I&II The Sum Of All Fears Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes Spider-Man Any guesses? |

From what I hear, gamestop pays crap. Check Ebay for prices if you want to know how much it'll sell there, and take your list to gamestop to ask them how much they'll pay for them. |

As for eBay, this is the closest bundle I could find that could match mine. It's quite a bit less than mine as you can see. So...yeah. I have no idea what I would price mine as. |

Set it somewhere a bit lower than what that thing is selling for, and then set a minimum accepted bid. I'm not sure what you call it, but it's where if the highest bid doesn't meet your minimum, then it doesn't sell. It basically prevents people from ripping off the seller, or allows you to get close to what you'd like out of it. It would suck to sell a 20-dollar book for five dollars instead of 15, y'know? So you could always do that. I doubt most of your games will sell well on E-bay. The Wii and some of the Wii games should be fine, as well as maybe the nicer GCN games like Zelda or Soul Caliber. You'll be a lucky soul if you successfully sell your Simpsons game on E-bay for more than a dollar. The good games and stuff, sell on E-bay. Heck, you could try putting everything up on E-bay, but the less-popular games probably won't sell. As for those, Gamestop is your best bet, I guess. Or try selling to people you know.

I was just going to bundle all the GC and Wii games together, since GC games work on the Wii. Probably throw in a memory card and controller. The headline "WII + 29 GAMES AND MORE!!" usually grabs massive bids from people. |

Gamestop usually gives about 1/3 the price they'd sell it for in store, half if it's a rare/popular game. Sell it on eBay, else most of these games they'll probably give you 5 bucks for. The Wii can easily be sold for twice its worth, people want one that bad. The Wii version of GHIII is hard to find in stores nowadays, it should be easy to find someone to sell it to. Baten Kaitos you can get a good 30$ or more for, it's pretty rare. Twin Snakes and Zelda you could probably get 15-20 bucks for, maybe more. The Wii games could fetch around the same price, they're easily found in stores. Soul Calibur, Simpsons and the rest of the GC games can usually be found for 5$ in bargain bins. |

Is too bad you don't have some of those good old RPG's that're rare as heck and sell like heck. ... I bought a game for about a hundred dollars on E-bay due to rarity. And most of those games that are uber rare and worth a lot tend to be RPG's. I'm not really sure why that is, but all the games that come to mind are RPG's - Suikoden, Lunar, Baten Kaitos as FM suggested, etc. I personally haven't played Baten Kaitos, but it makes sense with what FM is saying, so it would be a good game to sell on its own. Especially if you have the case and all the crap that came with it, like the little booklet thingie. Those help. The better games you could sell individually, or bundle. Pros and cons to both right thar, I'm sure they're rather obvious. The two GCN Zeldas bundled together would probably sell well on their own. Heck, the collector's edition would sell fine by itself. I'd say sell the good stuff that'll obviously sell by itself, and then bundle the other games. But it's up to you. Why're you getting rid of your Wii and games anyway? |

Probably because there aren't a lot of copies of those games, they don't sell well/are not known enough. They don't get the popularity they deserve because they end up on game racks next to games with a big SQUARE ENIX logo on them. Other types of games don't really have this problem, there's no real leader in shooters, action, etc. |

What I meant is that they're obviously popular and rare, but what I don't get is why all these games that are rare, popular, and worth a lot on E-bay all tend to be RPG's. I don't really get why you say this in relation to what you quoted, as I was saying that these RPG's are really popular - maybe not "OH MY GOD FF7," but they're still big. If you're an RPG fan and you haven't played some of these, you're not a full RPG-fan. That kind of thing. I don't really get where you're coming from unless you misunderstood what I was saying. I just wonder why it seems to be ONLY RPG's that do this, no other type of game (rarely). That's what I meant in the last part. |

Is Baten Kaitos really that rare? Cause it isn't gathering that much on eBay... The one that seems to fetch the highest price with my rapid research is Twin Snakes and Zelda Collector's Edition. And GF, they stopped hosting an online world for PSO a while ago. |

BK is rare, but it's not worth much. But it is rare. |
