Alright, a new cube goes for about $50 with cords, controllers, and maybe a game or two. Without accessories, probably $25-30, now, factor in the fact that your cube is broken and covered in stickers, which means the case wouldn't really be helpful for someone with a working cube in a bad case, you're looking at maximum resale value of whatever the metal inside it is worth.

I think Valium was overly generous; My local gamestop is selling gamecubes with all cables, a memory card, a controller, and a game demo disc for $30, in perfect working condition, and a 30 day warranty.

Considering shipping is going to cost at LEAST $10, that means that nobody would pay more than $20 for the actualy game cube.

Add in the fact that it does not work in any way, you have no clue what is wrong with it, and that it is covered in stickers, with no cables or controllers... Sorry, but you would be very lucky if someone will pay you the $10 to cover the shipping, with the gamecube free.

That plug n play is worth maybe $10, and the ni-cad battery is most likely dead, not to mention the fact that nobody even uses ancient ni-cad batteries anymore.

In short, no way are you getting an NES, SNES, or atari for your old junk.

That leafeon poster is cool, though; Not sure how much I would pay for it. How much?

Junk, AKA: garbage.

Exactly. We are just being realistic; 7800 games are $1-5 on ebay, and a broken 7800 joystick is as good as worthless.

The net value of ALL the stuff you have posted: Maybe, MAYBE $30 including shipping

Snes= $40 if you are lucky
NES= $30
Atari= Not sure, but more than $25

You would have to find someone who would want ALL of your stuff, and wants to get rid of a perfectly good system for it. in other words... Not gonna happen.

We don't mean to be hard, but this is how the real world works. We have told you the stuff is worth almost nothing, but you keep holding on to some hope/belief that someone would want it.

1: its 2600, nota 7800 joy

2: well, you guys are giving me a hard time.

and vskid Junk, AKA: garbage

i was refering to the term because i had a lot of stuff.

palmertech · Post by **palmertech** » Fri Sep 26, 2008 6:55 pm

1. You don't have much stuff

2. 2600 joysticks are worth even less

3. No, we are not giving you a hard time.

I have seen this happen a lot on other forums; At first, they keep arguing, finally, they have nothing left, and resort to personal insults/acting victimized.

Seriously, we are just trying to help. Post a "WTB: SNES, NES, ATARI" thread, make an offer with cash/and or stuff, and see what you get.

yoshilime · Post by **yoshilime** » Fri Sep 26, 2008 11:44 pm

sigh, i guess i have to bump...

palmertech · Post by **palmertech** » Fri Sep 26, 2008 11:54 pm

Just so you know, bumping should only done every 24 hours. The goal is to keep it on the first page, not to make sure it is the top post.

Seriously, how much for the leafeon poster?

yoshilime · Post by **yoshilime** » Sat Sep 27, 2008 9:33 am
