Question about selling a Playstation One...

[Mickeys.friend]

I would like to sell a PS1 in excellent condition along with a controller, a memory card, and 14 Child Appropriate (rated "E") games. My son has had a PS2 for several years and just recently my daughter has become interested in it, too so she want's to sell her PS1 system to earn a few dollars for a "new" game or 2 to use on the PS2 system. I found out today that places like GameStop no longer buy them and give credit. So, now I am thinking Craigslist, or even eBay??? Has anyone ever sold one, and if so, what should I charge? I would like to see my daugher make enough money to buy at least one PS2 game ....Please give me your thoughts....Thanks!!!
The system is clean and in perfect working order with all wires included. 10 out of the 14 games are in their original cases with incerts. the other 4 games have replacement cases, no incerts. The games are:
102 Dalmatians
CRASH Bash
Dora Barnyard Buddies
Spongebob Supersponge
Lilo & Stitch
Spyro
Rat Attack
A Bug's Life
Frogger
Q-Bert
Donald Duck Goin' Crackers
Woody Woodpecker racing
Scooby-Doo Cyber Chase
Ms. Pac-Man

I just went to ebay and looked at the SOLD items for PS1 with games. It looks like your lot would be in the range of $20 and would need to include free shipping.

Craigs List may be your best bet. A quick scan of eBay shows people struggling to move a PS1, with games, at $20 to $30. And when you do the basic math(add in that shipping on a heavy bundle) a buyer is well on their way to a PS2 which can be had new for $100, maybe less pre-owned. In a day and age when most folks have moved on to the PS3 you may have a pretty limited scope of interested buyers. Good luck all the same !

Thanks Dawn! I don't know why I never thougt to check the "sold" listings on ebay...That's not a bad amount, about what I expected..so I could probably get that much for it on my local Craigslist and not deal with ebay fees...

Do you have an EB Games or Gamestop near you? If so, for that little amt of money, I would possibly see what they would give me first.
