I've Discovered That Nobody Wants My Stuff

After the mail service so kindly lost my only PS2 memory card, I've been trying to go out of my way to get a new one before I move. The amount of time I have is shrinking drastically (have to leave on the 10th D:), and my ability to generate money doesn't seem to want to make itself present. I've tried trading Demon's Souls and selling Demon's Souls, but absolutely nobody wants that game, or everybody already owns it. It's hard for me to figure out. I've tried selling other games in the past, but then I realize that I'll want to play those games again later, and new copies still go for $30 (seriously, Super Mario 64 DS still goes for a lot). I've put up many an ad on Craigslist to no avail, and the likes of eBay are not an option. At this point, I placed up Elite Beat Agents at the price of $10. I'm hoping somebody takes the nibble, as people seem to really like older DS titles around where I am, even though that is a bit overpriced.

Can't seem to make a trade for the life of me either, as I have never built up an excess of games. Everything I've ever bought, I've bought for a reason. There are just games that I'm less willing to keep than others that I can see myself sacrificing for the greater good.

I'm sure I'll figure something out, but it seems like it's a lot more difficult than it should be.

Oh yeah, and if anybody is interested, I have a $15 iTunes gift card that I personally have no use for. I've had it for a few months now, still attached the the backing. It was given to me, of course. If anybody wants the code, I'm considering just giving it away at this point, as no gift card places that buy gift cards even take iTunes ones.

tl;dr - I can't win.

Edit: Before anybody else asks, the code is gone. I destroyed 90% of the appeal so quickly. :3

I would like it? (if you're willing to give it away).

I'm sorry life it getting you down. :( I know how you feel. I HATE my mail service; I think losing 200+ dollars worth of stuff is just inexcusable (when there are TRACKING NUMBERS!).

And I have been struggling with money lately too... I'm almost at a point where I MAY have to sell my MOTHER merch. D:
 
$5 shipped for Elite Beat Agents? XD

Edit, nevermind. Tis got to go toward my N54 collection.
 
if you cant sell anything on ebay, you must not be posting it right, or making it very unpleasing to the eye. i have sold over 500 items on ebay, with only 4 items not selling, i have sold ds games , ps2 games, consoles, pretty much anything , right down to the " Tandy Executive Decision maker"(old electronic desktop magic 8 ball) try lowering the starting price and raising the shipping price.
 
I haven't used eBay, as eBay isn't an option for me. I don't have the time to set up a sale and pray that somebody wants to pay the price I set forward, or bid on it and not screw me.
 
Well, what else ya got? You've gotta have something I want... maybe even non-video game related...?

It's times like this that I look around and see, I primarily have stuff video game related. I guess that's what happens when you don't have a job though. Of course, if I had a job, I wouldn't be in this pickle, now would I?

I mean, I've ended up with two copies of Super Mario World for the SNES (one in better shape than the other, though they both work fantastically), and a few SNES games I just don't play, though I'm pretty sure they are the types of games you can pick up for about $2 off of eBay. I generally don't stray over the the SNES stuff though, as I don't know what I may miss out of the collection that I kept from a friend a few years ago when we stopped hanging out. :3 Really though, I'm sure I have nothing you would be interested in.

The odds of someone screwing you on an auction for a videogame is pretty tiny and given you can list on ebay for 3 days (although i'd suggest at least 7) your chances of getting a decent trade faster elsewhere seems far smaller.

Stick Demons Souls on ebay and you'll have you money for a memory card.
 
The memory card situation is handled. Maybe once I move, I'll consider selling it off on eBay (among other things) to get some extra cash to get myself some more PS2 games, as even if I get FreeMCBoot at this point, I certainly can not take advantage of it.
 
Well, if I get the cash, I can just load them via USB on an external hard drive, but when I move, I will no longer have the ability to download and burn PS2 games at my leisure. I won't be able to burn the games at all (pretty sure my Aunt is lacking a DVD burner). As of now, I'm not going to go download and burn crazy, as I won't even know if I'm doing it right until I can test at least one.

Maybe that's what Demon's Souls can go towards. 8GB is fairly inexpensive, so that should be easy enough. I'll probably buy the memory, buy the game for the exploit, and just do it myself at some point.

Of course, this is all assuming I make enough cash from my sales. :3

    Speaking of meatballs, what's the deal with meatball sandwich? How can people eat those? It's ROUND. Trying to bite those in a sandwich is a challenge. It's easier to eat a burger stacked with toppings. :ninja:
