Good price for a DS on ebay?

What would you lot say is a good price to sell a DS lite silver in near perfect condition. Has official box, Mario kart, case and an M3DS cartridge that lets u download and put games on there for free. How much should i put it on there for buyitnow and how much for starting bid (a price that people would actually be willing to pay).

Also, how much will it cost to post via royal mail special delivery for all this?
thanks in advance:beer:

    hi i recently sold a white ds lite wiv 4games case and screen wipes, extra stylus went for £70 plus £8 delivery,sent it recorded total was £5.50 i put it all in one box.it might be worth you selling the m3ds cartridge seperate. look on ebay at what sort of prices the cartrides are going for and for silver ds lites and see if there are any auctions with both in the sale and then you can work out which way is more likely to make you more money.

    Starting price 99p - let the market decide.

    BIN price (if that's what you want to offer) - whatever you are prepared to accept for it

    The M3DS is against ebay rules if you can use it to illegally download games.
    This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine

    It might get your listing pulled and a warning if you do put it on, and possibly leave you open to a chargeback (buyer claims that there are fake items in the lot, and gets their money back and the item) Unlikely, but you never know these days.

    oh ok. thanks for that.
    Ill just sell the ds and mario kart. im thinking around £65 buy it now with £5 postage.
    So i would pay £7 final vale.. something around £1.20 for starting. and around £2.80 to paypal i think :confused: then posting would cost me £5..
    So i would make around £50.

    If items sell for over £39 then your only postage option must be special to protect yourself against loss in the post. Weigh the items together plus packaging and if they come to less than 500g then special will cost £5.40 if it goes over that but below 1kg then it will be £6.70
