Ebay, Cex.... other places selling my Wii

DaniGirl_2

So I've had my Wii for about a year and a half now and I never use it.

It just sits there, connected to the TV, gathering dust.

On the odd occasion I will put it on and have a go at tennis or something but considering how much I spent on it I'm wondering if I should just sell it.

I have a few games with it:

Animal Crossing with Wii Speak
EA Active Sports (bit of wishful thinking lol)
Wii Sports
Wii Play (got an extra controller with this)
Mario Party 8

Should I sell it as an entire bundle on ebay or should I sell the Wii with Wii Sports and then sell the other games separately?


Or should I go down the route of taking it into my local Cex shop?

Which will I get more money for. Ebay is more hassle with packing etc and costly postage etc, but then again I get the money for the postage. There is the risk I'll get a crap price for it but then I think Cex might undercut me quite a bit.

Opinions?

Yeah looking at the prices it's shocking. They buy a Wii for £50!?!?

Would you think selling as a bundle or seperately would work better?

As separately as possible (down to separate cables, controllers, the lot) is usually the best strategy for getting the most money but all the individual sales and packing is more hassle.

Go on ebay and check out the "Completed Listings" for each item you want to sell and that should give you a good idea of the market.

I've just realised how many little fiddly bits I do have. I reckon I might be able to get quite a lot out of this if i just spend a little time doing it.

Thanks again guys!

I actually work for my local free ads paper! So I could list anything I want for up to £250 myself haha. I've put stuff on ebay and put a reserve on quite a few. If any of them don't get met I'll give that a go. Good suggestion!

Their prices are a lot more competitive than the high street shops like game and cex..

I think you would get more than 100 lovely pounds selling to them for your bundle..

I'm looking to buy one now that I've "retired" and bundles similar to yours are selling for around £180-£200 + £14 P&P.

Just remember to set your buyer requirements very tight, and look at spending around £20 in fees between listing, final value and paypal fees.
