Thinking about selling my PS3....need help(please...no faneboys!)

Now before some of you say I'm a fakeboy just looking to cause problems here in system wars, your wrong! Here's the deal, I purchased the PS3 Metal Gear Solid action pack from Costco that came with two DualShock 3 controllers, the 80 gig PS3, the BlueTooth remote and of course Metal Gear Solid 4. I have yet to open the box and after a lot of soul searching have decided to unload it. I came to the conclusion that because I already own an xbox360 and 11 games I just couldn't justify spending 600 bucks on the PS3. To be honest, I mainly wanted the PS3 as a good BlueRay player but at this point I don't feel that I'm ready to get one. I've recently decided to try and mix up my interests a bit and get into other hobbies other than gaming....you know, live a balanced life. Don't get me wrong, I will always be a gamer at heart but I think having 2 systems is carrying things a little too far and that it would do me good to expand my horizons. I'm not saying it's the best system but because I'm already so invested in it and because I'm trying to balance my time on other hobbies, I think the xbox360 will do me just fine this generation. I can't understand where people get the money and have time to get all the systems and actually use them enough to justify there purchase.

So, I need some advice. Should I return the system back to Costco and get a full refund or should I try and sell the pack on Ebay and make a little extra money? I could be wrong but this particular pack seems to be in high demand and there is low supply. After tax and shipping, I paid 625 bucks for it. Should I sell it on Ebay and if so how much should I sell it for? Thanks for the help guys.

P.S... One more thing....the reason why I posted this on systems wars was because of the sheer volume of people that are on it. I thought that I would get a larger response posting it on this board.

For those of you who still don't believe...

Or craigslist.

wrong forum

go to ebay and look what everyone is asking for the same kind of bundle you have. you might get some extra cash out of it.

or go back to the store and get a refund. doesnt really matter

E-bay, always E-bay.

Or craigslist.

Ok...but do you think I will be able to make more than what I paid for it? If not I might as well just return it to costco for a full refund. How much should I ask for it if I were to sell it on Ebay/.

Return it to Costco if you can get a full refund.

IMO if you don't want to keep it you should return it to Cosco for a full refund, but shouldn't take my advice. I don't want to mess up your decision cause you may or may not make some profit from ebay.

I haven't used Ebay since 2006, but I heard since then they changed a lot like how they charge you more depending on how much you start the bid along with how much you end up making. You have to look that up on your own.

From my experience is you will most likely have to deal with scammers on ebay when it comes to materials that tend to be over $200 and big packages. I tried to make a quick buck by trying to sell my 60gb ps3 when it first came out. I had a hard time selling it. I think it had to do with my rep not being high even though I had (100 positive feedbacks). However I ended up dealing with scammers(beware of people who ask if you would sell it overseas like South Africa). Luckily I was able to tell they were scammers and ended up reporting them. If you decide to use EBay I suggest to never give out your email.

hope that helps.. Blazzer105

Dude, thanks a lot for your advice. I am going to sell it or take it back. Just trying to decide which to do. Thanks bro.

Returning it for a full return is the best choice.
