How much can a Xbox be?

[SavageWaffle]

So im selling a Xbox, but thats not the point. Im thinking of selling the Xbox(with wires) for about $90. But im thinking of adding an extra controller and 8 games. How much can this be worth?
1x Xbox
-x All Wires
8x Games as follow:
Halo 2
007 Nightfire
Tom Clancys Splinter Cell
Amped Freestyle Snowboarding
Project Gotham Racing
Pac Man World 2
Spider Man
Counter Strike.
And an extra controller.
How much can this total be?

Currently, from all the posts, its $138.

+1 more game to that,
Grand Theft Auto 3(Exclusive to Xbox, bought from Blockbuster)
Will that increase the cost, even by just little? I mean every $ counts for me.

People who buy xboxes just mod them. In addition, Ebgames sells xboxes with sealed controllers, cables, etc, for 50 bucks. You may get 50.

 

[Tanas]

$90 with the games if you're lucky.

i brought a xbox crystal with 19 games for $70, i'm not sure how much that will be in dollars but no way will you get $90 for all that lot.

 

[jalaneme]

i mean £70, i can't edit my post for some reason.

@DrKupo nobody really buys xboxes any more for anything other than modding (and rightly so: my xbox is the best media player I have ever used) so I would seriously consider softmodding the machine and keeping it (you have splinter cell which is the game, the extra controller can be modded into a memory card of sorts (you make it a USB adapter and then it is a matter of finding a compatible USB stick (which should not be that hard)) and you are there.

As for $140 you have two things to think about:
rip of Britain
the weak US dollar.

Not moaning about the state of things but the UK is genuinely expensive compared to a great deal of places. This makes everything seem pricier and causes an overvaluing of items in cases such as this.

The US dollar: I will leave the reasoning for other threads but the US dollar dropped about 6 months ago (it is clawing back but slowly)
The xbox alone retails for $70 on amazon US for a second hand one and I am inclined to agree.

The games whilst mostly good are all fairly common which means no real jacking the price up there. You might get a shade more if they were sold by themselves but it would be about 50 times the effort for perhaps $7
You might be able to squeeze $110 but you would probably have to pay shipping unless it was reasonably close.

Actually, it wont be shipped, probably going to be "seen trade" meaning im going to see the guy IRL. And i saw that coming. So your saying i can get at least $110? But i should sell the games seperatly?(meaning i get a total of $110, but i sell the seperatly)
So lets say im selling the Xbox for $70(since on amazon, its that much..., can i manage to squeeze in an extra $10, making it $80?) and how much will a game cost for each?

 

[Mangofett]

Err, I would be thinking all that + xbox would be around 80$

 

[Nosirah]

yeah, regular xboxes aren't worth that much. Most people sell them to get rid of them.

 

[Agjsdfd]

The other day, I saw one in Blockbuster for 40 quids(around $80?).
Extras:
1 controller
1 Mad Catz controller
5 Games:
Spider Man
Ralley Challange
PES 5
Halo
Halo 2

Well the xbox itself is new, the other things arent.
You wont get much for an old box nowdays...

 

[SavageWaffle]

So i can only get about $80? What is this, ups and downs =O

you have to take note that the exchange rate and value of the dollar compared to the £ make it seem more expensive, but in the UK £70 for all that lot was a bargain imo, gta 3 aint exclusive to the xbox...if it's in good condition with instructions (no scratches on the disc) then maybe you can up the price a bit.
