Hi im currently selling a used nintendo game cube on ebay (the bongo bundle)
this includes the game cube purple) all the leads, memory card the bongos for the donkey konga game,the controller, 2x games sonic and the donkey konga game All in excellent condition. As my son has hardly used it. I have a starting bid for 10.00 with no bids as yet but, Someone has sent me a message asking if i would consider a buy now option and she would come and pick it up from my house. What do you guys think?? I really dont have a clue on how much to sell it for. I dont know if i can do this as I still have 6 days left on to sell on ebay, Please help asap. Kind regards.

    Check ebay for previous sales?

    Hi i sold my son's gameboy advance for 52.00 a while back have you done a completed search???
  • Yes ive checked at a few other sales, but i dont have the original box. I dont know if that makes a diffrence + not many of them have the bongo,s with them. :confused:

    Not sure what a bongo is :rotfl: but box is not important as long as item in good working condition!! i sold without box!!
  • :rotfl: A bongo is like a drum thing, that is similar to a controller but you bang it or something ha ha. How much do you think i should ask? £40.00 or £30.00 do you think that sounds okay. :D

    High Street Stores such as GAME are selling pre owned gamecubes, sometimes with games for £30 - £40. These include a 3 month warranty.

    Bongos were a lovely novelty, great fun - the first 3 times you played it. Then the fad wore off. The bongos themselves are not worth a great deal now.

    If someone was to offer £30-£35 for all your lot - I would say that was an acceptable offer.

    I have jiust had a quick look at completed items(without Bongo lol :rotfl: )and they all seem to go for quite good prices i would TBH start at about 9.99 :eek: i know it sounds low but looking at other's they seem to start about this price!!! i started my son's gameboy at 4.99 and got 52.00 for it, depending how long you list for you can roughly judge by the amount of watcher's you have!! if they seem really low towards the end and you panic:eek: revise the price!!!
    :rotfl: I know what i mean!!!

    I sold my GC, only got £5 for it :( It was a US one with a convertor but it came with an action replay disc as well. well gutted!

    I sold the empty GC box for £8 tho separately when I found it in the garage!!

    I know Gamestation will offer you £10 cash for the console, or £25/30 vouchers for the shop.
  • I have quite a lot of watchers at the moment, but i still have six days left. Do you think i could ask them what they would like to offer me for the game cube rather than me ask them what i want?? I should i just go for it and ask for 30.00, I think thats okay dont you?? Or should i just wait untill my listing runs our. Sorry im terrible in making decisions :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: Im like this all the time.
