Hi.

I plan on selling my Sony PS2 online at eBay, because I never use it, and I dont have any games for it anyway. We have a DVD player, so it's pretty much just useless. Instead of just throwing it out, I want to make some money with it.

I decided I will include my Memory Card(8MB), and my other wired controller, made by Gamestop.

After I looked at the prices of all these, I decided I should sell the bundle for $145. What do you think? Too much? Too little? I want to make a lot of money off this, but it does have to be reasonable enough that people will buy it.

I asked a friend of mine if he had any PS2 games he didnt want. He told me he had a few, and I asked him if I could add them to the bundle. He said it was fine by him, aslong as he gets the money I made with them. I'm okay with this. I just want it sold, for a good price.

So, any tips? Is there any thing I could do to make it seem like a greater deal? Is the price to high, or to low? What do you guy's think?

Thanks.

Its a bit high, no-one is really going to buy a PS2, I suggest you sell It for a lower price, such as $70-$100 or you will not sell it.

Or you could bid it..

Compare to this
http://cgi.ebay.com/PLAYSTATION-2-WITH-2-CONTROLS-8-MB-CARD-AND-4-GAMES_W0QQitemZ250388844468QQcmdZViewItemQQptZVideo_Games?hash=item250388844468&_trksid=p4295.c0.m299&_trkparms=240%3A1318
It has more stuff with it, and it's cheaper, and even it doesn't have any bids

you might have to consider lowering your price, unfortunately

Stick a $75 min bid thing on it and see if it sells?

Mmhm, you guys are right.


Thank you for your tips, I'll think about what you all said.
Anything else?
((I'm thinking of lowering it and bidding to $95 min.))

Say you had cancer until you played this PS2. Now you don't have an expiration date.

Lol $95 for a ps2?

I managed to get 40 for mine with 8 games, two controllers and a memory card 4 years ago, since then I've seen them being sold for a grand total of 12 quid in gamestation.

I sold mine by putting it on craigslist. For I think 130, with a bunch of burned games with swap magic. and a 8mb memory card.
