I'm Filthy Rich! :D

Well I've been trying to make loads of money to get the 3DS at launch (too early, 3 months left I know) and I guess I'm really overexcited.
Starting from scratch, I made $350 in 3 days! :D (That's more than the 3DS's price! :D )
Here's how:
I go to my room, and do some organizing. I put my valuable junk on one side, and my useless junk on the other.
I get rid of my useless junk, and get my camera.
I started picturing all my valuable junk and posted ads of them online for people to buy.
I sold 4 things:
-My old laptop: It sucked, and had no graphics card in it. It was an ASUS Ee PC. 0.9 GB ram, an 8GB hard disk and it had Windows XP loaded on it. It does have Wi-Fi though. I sold it for $75 bucks 2 minutes literally after I put the ad.
-PSP bundled with 5 games: I hate PSP, it's crap. Mine was a 1000. I know it's mod-able but I need a pandora battery (latest firmware) which I didn't have nor did I think was worth getting/making. Sold for $100. It took like 2 days for someone to call me and come pick it up.
-PLEO from Ugobe life forms: PLEO is a really high-tech toy and all. I think most of you know it. If you don't, let me explain: Basically, it's a robotic dinosaur that can see you, recognize you, walk around, be your pet and all... It's really cool and all and like if you put it on a table it won't fall off (it sees the edge). One problem though, I feel like it's soo.... basic. If I kiss it for example, it closes it's eyes and makes a squeaky sound like he's shy or something. But I get that reaction from him when I do like 100 other things. He'll react exactly the same way if I petted him for example. I think that we're not advanced enough to make something that feels 100% real. So yeah I sold it for $150 and it took 2 days.
-Cheap broken Motorola: Well it's pretty clear. It's just some cheap phone my friend forgot at my house. She told me I can trash it cause she doesn't want it. (She got an iPhone) It was in terrible condition really. Scratches everywhere and constant lagging. Sold for a good $27. It took 3 days.

So yeah :)
I'll use my spare money to buy a 3DS game + Pokemon Black (hopefully with its guide too)
And like maybe after tomorrow I'll sell my DSi and maybe I can afford another 3DS game! :lol:

So tell me guys: Are you hyped over the 3DS? Will you get it? If yes, pre-ordered, at launch, or late? :)
Also, tell me which game (or two, depends) to get when I first get my 3DS

Good job.

I'm sorta hyped for it.
But I have other stuff I need to buy first.

Like a new iPod touch.
I also have to save my money to build my custom gaming PC.

But, I think you should keep you DSi in case that hack thing is actually real.
Since it may not even work on the 3DS.
 
That's funny I did the same thing for my 3DS fund. I went though my Entire house and gathered together all the crap I'd throe away, put it on ebay and got my 3DS money. I sold real garbage like old worn out T shirts and old books and I was still able to scrape together more trhan enough money.
 
id do what you did and i have stuff whic i cn make money with but my issue is i dont wanna somewhere in me will miss it.(im a packrat)

Yeah I nearly cried selling PLEO. But in the end I'm not gonna need him.. :/

@iFish: I have a DSi XL. So it's no problem ;)

Do it. You will never be happier. Trust me.
 
G
I remember the Pleo!
I wanted one but didn't have enough money to purchase it. I have $200 saved up for the 3DS. I'll have to sell a few more DS games to get $100.
 
I'm way too much of a pack rat to do what you did. I just bought a brand-new special edition DSi XL two days ago, yet I still don't want to sell my DS Phat. I also have a PS1 despite having a PS2, two Gamecubes despite having a Wii, and etc. I could probably scrape together a ton of money if I sold all the old stuff I have.
 
Mario Kart 3D :DS
Kid Icarusâ„¢: Uprising
nintendogsâ„¢ + cats (meh if only they did a koala bear, still you can stare at Cushelle toilet rolls intead

Trust, me PLEO sucks xD I mean yeah it's high-tech, but I know it can do better than what it does now.
Sell shovelware, don't sell good games. Even if you finished them, keep them. ;)
I'm selling some fake crap card called "7 in 1" . Which is basically a flashcart loaded with 7 games with a weird software and it has no MicroSD slot. It has wireless connection issues and works only on a DS lite 0_0 .
I'm also selling Brain age + Animal crossing.

Believe me, this is the first time I ever sell a console, ever. Other than the PSP which I terribly hate. :P
I feel so bad that it's a Nintendo console I'm selling.
Well if I were you I'd keep just one gamecube. I mean, the only reason I'm selling my DSi is because the DSi XL is a carbon copy that's larger. I still have my DS lite, my GBA, GBASP etc.

Thanks for the recommendation! :D You know Paper Mario looks nice too. I'll check that + the games you mentioned.

[quote name='Rockstar' post='3356232' date='Dec 29 2010, 06:57 AM']I already reserved mine on the 26th.Plan to get the Black one along with OoT[/quote]

I think the blue one's cooler :unsure:
Lol whatever it's yours anyway.
I like the idea that they're remaking OoT but the problem is I feel like they didn't actually remake it but sort of port it to the 3DS. The graphics would be terrible I guess. It's gonna be like the 4th or 5th game I buy.

Thanks all! :lol:
 
Hard for me to get rid of stuff too, though I still have more than enough to get 3DSs. :D (I only intend to buy one, however)
 
I got 100 euros so far, should have enough by the time it comes out.
This does remind me though, I still got my guitar's old skull-shaped volumes and tone buttons, with red stones for eyes.
The clerk at the store that I bought my guitar from said that I should be able to sell 'em for at least 20 euros. :D
