    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.

    But dont forget people can buy a pre owned one with a warrantee from Game Stores for £69

    Yeah, as above, i totally doubt you'd get £65 for it when they retail brand new for only £69 from a store with a refund policy if anything goes wrong. Start at 99p, then you miss listing fees.
  • Hi, i sold mine last week for 110.00 with 8 games, case, original box. I put it on buy it now and a dealer bought it. Good luck.

    The listing fees are only pence and you have the risk of actually selling it for 99p just for the sake of avoiding 25p listing fee! Start it at a price that you are willing to accept

    Fair enough, I think I'm of a different ebay mentality to yourself, I figure that oif I've decided I dont want an item anymore, I'd rather have it out of my way, and so long as I cover my costs, am happier to let it go for a small amount, rather than keep it.

    Clearly I'm a private seller not a business trying to make profit, so perhaps that's why.
