Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4
Need for Speed Underground
Starskey and Hutch
Call of Duty Finest Hour
Crazy Taxi
NCAA College Football 2k3
Minority Report
Hitman 2

All the games are for gamecube...

think of it this way. do you really give a crap about this stuff

if you dont play any of these you should be thinking "get these the copulate out of my house" more often than not you'll be happier with the money thatn the stuff

I would say "Hey, it's either you take the $5 bucks now or they lay around the house and get thrown out down the road"

I would say don't put a reserve on it. Whenever I look at stuff on eBay, I avoid auctions with reserves because they are too much of a hassle. So, if anyone else does what I do, you'll have fewer eyes on your auction. Just put a low starting bid on it, and all will be well.

Anytime I see an auction has a reserve I don't even click on it to look at. If you want a certain price don't put a reserve just put the starting bid at the minimum price you want.

$20 seems good, but I think $10 would be better. You would get more interest. I doubt you will get any buyers though, as you have no feedback. As a general rule for ebay, you must buy to get some feedback, before you sell.
