    Question Advice on selling my Wii?

    Well, I'm not sure this fits in with "general gaming" but yeah. I'm selling my Wii, and I need some good advice on pricing. I'd also like advice as to if I should price The games listed, much below, the same as Nintendo has stuck it to me.

    I'm also selling the SD Card with it, and that alone contains 22 games. The SD card has to go with it, because as you may know you can't play the games that are on it on another Wii system. I'm planning on selling the Retail games I have as well, but that will be separate, and I wouldn't need helpe with that..

    Here are the games on the SD card:
    Super Mario bros. = 5
    Super Mario bros. 2 = 5
    Super Mario bros. 3 = 5
    Punch Out = 5
    Super Metroid = 8
    Super Mario World = 8
    The Legend of Zelda: a Link to the Past = 8
    Paper mario = 10
    Yoshi's Story = 10
    The Legend of Zelda: MM = 10
    The Legend of Zelda: OoT = 10
    Shining Force = 8
    Pitfall = 8
    Bit Trip Core = 6
    Bit Trip Void = 6
    Castlevania Rebirth = 10
    Contra Rebirth = 10
    Excitebike World Rally = 10
    Fluidity = 12
    Megaman 10+all extras = 18
    Nyx Quest = 10
    Neves+ = 6

    All together = $188

    Given the fact that the Wii is used, it would obviously be of decreased value(if any to some). The Wii works fine, it just has a few scratches on the side, but that's what I got for trusting a friends 6 year old brother haha.
    I feel a bit ...Mixed about this, but I'm hoping someone could help.

    This is the first and last time I'll ask for selling advice.

    This thread is ok as long as you don't pretend to sell your console here. The Pawn Shop is the only place where selling stuff is allowed and a certain postcount is required to access it.

    honestly the wii itself used i see at around $60-75 and no one usually gives a crap about virtual console games, so id value them ALL together at like $10-20

    Some people would buy a Wii for those games alone, but with the price drop, the most you could probably ask for it would be $125.

    Yeah, I was gonna just laugh at the OP but quoting this works just the same. You would not get that much ($188) money for it.

    Yeah, I kind of figured no one would buy it for that much. I just thought to ask. Its good to see maturity is still intact these days. Thanks

    How old is the Wii? Some people may want an older one to be able to use disc-based backups (mostly for GCN nowadays). You should list the first 4 digits of the serial number.

    I wouldn't try to sell it on here. I might check out a pawnshop.

    That would be a newer one then (and a NA one as well).

    Yeah, one sad thing about it is that I got it a week before the price drop. Oh well.

    Shop around if you do, some pawn shops are much better than others.

    Will do. There's one 4 blocks from my house, and there's another a bit further than that.

    Ebay would be my first go-to. If someones willing to pay and you're willing to sell, its a win-win.

    Good point. I have a feeling that common sense went with what you said. That is pretty much what I first thought of when I started to think about selling it. "eeeebbaaaaayyyy"
