Price check on CRAIGSLIST Lot

in Price Check

Hey everyone, I wanted to see if you guys could give me feedback on a craigslist lot. I already kinda agreed but I can get out of it if I really needed to. It will be $150 FIRM. Like an idiot I got nervous when I saw Earthbound and threw out a price I probably could have got for less. image

It is a Super Nintendo with 2 controllers and 1 Super Advantage controller. There's about 12 games and the ones I can't remember now are not worth shit. No boxes or manuals of any kind.

These are the games I do remember

Earthbound

Mario RPG

Donkey Kong Country  3 (2 Copies)

Earthworm Jim

Mario Allstars

The rest are Maddens, and various other crap. Do you think it's worth it from a re-selling perpective or no? Thanks

    I personally wouldn't pay $150 for what you mentioned to resell but you could probably get your money back plus a little extra.

    I think you could make a bit of money off of that. I'm not an expert by any means but you could make over half of your money back for Earthbound alone.

    I wish I told her less. I panicked when I saw Earthbound and Mario RPG. Then later when I thought about it I was like shit. I have a crappy copy of Earthbound so I can at least upgrade and hopefully make a little money

    Sounds good. I'll PM you if I do decide to pick it up. I most likely will.

    okay

    If you sold Earthbound for 60, Mario RPG for 20, DKC 3 EJ and allstars all for 10, sports games at 1 and console for 20 you are sitting at 150 right there. Nothing would sit very long at those prices, so in the words of pats1717 do you want a fast nickel or slow dime.

    You probably should have tossed $100 at her instead, but you're still doing okay from a reselling perspective (you'll be able to clear $50+ profit).

    I would go for $100 too. There is no point of buying something to resell it if you aren't going to make some money off it. Look at it like this, risk $150 to make $20??

    EDIT - your time is worth money too - driving there and driving to the post office to send the stuff away.

    Any idea of condition? You might be able to talk them down on condition. Ive used it before as a barging chip to drive the price down because i ask about condition and they something and its not in the condition they say when we meet.



    Justin has a point too not worth it spending 150 to make 20. Try to see if they'll sell you just the games for half.

    Everything looks to be in really good condition. She sent me pictures but I can't find them right now. She said $200 and I quickly said I'll do $150 cause I was worrying about the other re-selling hawks in the area swooping in. If I tried to talk her down now I don't think she would do it unless I made up a huge bullshit lie. I might just be honest with her and say look I know I said 150 but I'm trying to trade and sell some of this stuff and it's probably not worth it for me for $150.

    I might be interested in the Super Advantage controller if you wanted to make a couple bucks on that.

    Ask if she has newer consoles she needs games for, I do that sometimes, It's amazing how many craigslisters will drop $20-$30 off the price of a lot of old games for a year old madden or tiger woods that can be had for $5 or less!! image
