Been thinking about selling my Wii (thinking, but it probably won't happen). Not going to go into detail as to why.

 

But I just wanted to know the opinions of you folk who were unfortunate to never get their hands on a Wii. Like I said, I'm thinking about selling mine but I didn't know the fair price I should push for one, so I need your opinions! :)

I was talking to a store clerk at EB Games the other day. I told him that I was thinking about selling my Wii and he asked what I had along with the Wii system. I told him, I had Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess, WarioWare and Super Paper Mario. Also, I have a controller/nunchuck obviously along with a neat messenger bag. He said I had a good chance of getting $400 off of it because the games I had were popular titles.

I was thinking about putting it up on Ebay and selling it for 300 to 400, somewhere in there. I need at least $300 but that's only as a last resourt. I'm gunna try and push as high as I can. I guess what I'm trying to ask is, would you buy the Wii for $400? I didn't know, so I'm asking now (edit: This, $400 package obviously including the games and controller and case).

Any type of soccer game, sports, in general, bores me. If it's a sports game I'm going to go outside and play it myself. I only play shooters (third person/first person) or MMORPGs online, nothing else. Lets just keep this discussion on topic okay? Just wanted to know the opinions and views of the people who don't already have a Wii and are looking to buy one.

I don't need to. It's not my type of game.

That sounds pretty reasonable, considering you're throwing in some rather popular games on the high-end price spectrum. I would guess you'd get at least close to 400 for it. If I had any money, I'd prolly buy a package like that too.

But it IS used, so I thought 400, being the normal price for a new system would be great...but it IS used, y'know?

Although...ALTHOUGH, I've always taken extreme care of my possessions. Not a hint of a scratch nor slight finger print anywhere on my discs, they're all perfectly cared for, along with my Wii. No dents or cracked hinges and the controller still has a working strap.

So, I guess you could call it like-new.

Have you purchased any Virtual Console games for it? If so, you should list those. They could add to the value of your sell.

What do you mean by ripe? Do you mean rip off? Because if you mean rip off, I can assure you it's not. Gamestop is giving bundles that cost nearly $100 more than what I'd be asking for!

Go here:  http://www.gamestop.com/search.asp?Ntk=TitleKeyword&Ntx=mode%2Bmatchallpartial&Ntt=Nintendo+Wii+bundle&N=0&find.x=0&find.y=0&find=Search

See what I mean? And those are just two games, with a strategy guide that hardly anyone uses (it's more of a collector's item sorta thing). So you see, my deal would really be a good one. 3 good, popular titles for nearly 100 dollars cheaper.

Rofl...no. PCs always lag, no matter how good it is. Always. Because there's always something running in the background.

 

Plus, PLUS: To get anywhere near the non-lagginess of the Xbox 360 and graphical capabilities, you have to spend well over $2,000 to get it. **** that.

Also, the PC isn't getting Halo 3, or Gears of War. So there we go.

You could probably even push for the price you paid for it all, because those tiny wii's are hot right now.  I can't believe I got my hands on one, thank god, and all by luck too, but ya I'd say keep it, cause my wii collection is small, but wario ware has replay value.  My gamecube collection almost doubled too now that I don't have to share my gamecube with my brother.

It's a possibility, but highly unlikely. The PC is too expensive.
