DH wants to sell old XBOX to a friend

[Zandy595]

How much would you ask for an XBOX console (NOT 360), 1 controller and 5 games?

He was saying $20, but I think it's worth more...

 

[disneymagicgirl]

see what they are going for on ebay or at a video game resale store

My husband just sold his to a game store for $30, it was console, 2 controllers, 4 games. And he had more games but they wouldn't buy them.

I hate to say it, but I think $20 is probably fair. The technology is obsolete, and the XBox 360 consoles can be found refurbished for about $130 or new for $200. I doubt you would get much more than shipping costs if you tried to sell it on eBay.

 

[lost*in*cyberspace]

He's lucky to get $20.

I think it's a fair price considering you are probably not offering any guarantees about how long it will last.

 

[princessmom29]

iti s definitely NOT worth more than $20. Technology moves fast, and the 360 has been out for a long time. The original xbox is pretty much obsolete.

 

[Sugardimples]

I would just give it to him.

 

[libinatorsmom]

To be honest I think you are lucky to sell it at all

 

[pilesoflaundry]

Gamestop won't take them or even the games anymore and there is no support for live anymore on an original xbox so you are lucky to get anything for it.

I gave mine away for free right after the 360 came out with at least 20 games...... to a friend.

 

[java]

How good is the friend? I think $20 is fair.

 

[happydisneyfamily]

If he'll give $20, that's a good deal. We bought one with 2 controllers and 15 games for $10. If it's a friend, probably let him have it for $10-$15.

 

[disneyofcourse]

About $20 sounds fair.

 

[shortbun]

I would just give it to him.

Yeah, I asked my son and he said, "who would BUY an old Xbox?" with a major attitude laced in. Then he said, "The guy should just give it to him; they're friends right?"

From looking at completed ebay listings,I'd say it's worth between $50 and $80. People buy old games--I paid $50 for an atari 2600 years ago, and one of these days, I want to buy an old Commadore just so I can play games like Gold Rush and Heart of Africa. (I even still like text games like the ones Infocom made.) I'd let it go at $20 though unless you'd really ebay it. To most people it wouldn't be worth much.

 

[Zandy595]

I don't think the guy's a good friend, more like a work acquaintance.

I looked at ebay and they were going for about $40, but I guess $20 and not having it sitting on the den floor anymore is a good deal

 

[PolyndianPrincessJes]

I sold an XBox with a controller, DVD receiver and remote, DDR (with 2 dance pads), Karaoke Revolution (with 2 mics) and Music Mixer for $100 at a consignment sale. I ended up getting $70 (sellers get 70%). I was afraid I'd never get rid of that thing!! Adding insult to injury, I bought in college with a guy, and he was gone before the XBox was. Sell it at whatever price you can.

We'd just give it away. But then, we usually give stuff away all the time. The last thing I charged a friend or acquaintance for was a car ($7500). Unless you really need the money, why bother with $20-50?
