Where else can I sell my Nintendo DS?

Before I use ebay I wondered if there was anywhere else I could try. I've looked on both Amazon and Play and they won't allow me to sell it as I'm not one of their 'pro sellers'.

Can anyone recommend anywhere else please?

Many thanks


Kelsey

    Do you have a game shop that would give cash or a GAME shop that you could trade it in, but then in my opinion i dont think youd get as much as ebaying it,

    Thanks, looks as though ebay it is then
  • There are numerous alternatives to eBay.
    QXL, Bidville, Tazbar and eBid.net are just four.

    If you want to try out various places, just do a Google search for UK auction sites.
    Why Pay High Fees
    on eBay when there ARE alternative sites available?

    Have you sold other items on Amazon? When I had a rating of 7 I called and asked them why I couldnt sell an electrical item and they had a look at my account and said that they would allow me. Their phone no is 0800 2796620.

    I am actually looking to buy a DS lite (assuming yours is a lite).

    If you're interested, depending on condition and what it comes with, send me a PM with some details. I was only going to buy one off ebay anyway.
    It's BOUGHT (to Buy), not BROUGHT (to bring) AND you cannot be frauded, only DEfrauded.

    Please do not buy animals from a pet store. Visit your local sanctuary or centre and give a good home to an unloved or abandoned animal.

    I'm also looking at selling DS that I won in a competition, I have never sold anything on amazon so was just gonna stick with ebay, gonna have to see how much they're going for on there. I'm gonna take a photo of the serial number and all that, so buyer can't swap it etc, but is there anything else that needs to be done (apart from being sent special delivery)?

    Theres also another trade in place, like Game, called CEX, that takes all sorts, Games/consoles, phones, pc things et etc...you can either post them in to them if you're not near a store or visit in person and get either cash or credit for the store, just like GAME.

    The website is http://www.cex.co.uk/
    The prices aren't that bad for something's it seems (I was surprised that my really old knackered mobile, that has the dialling feature and that's it will get me about £1.49 in cash :D ). As a guide for Ebay, I got £122 for mine, as new (but used 3 times) with 5 games, one of which was the Dalmatians Doggy game that apparently is really hard to get (or thats what some friends told me) and some bits and pieces, if that helps at all :) Lots of chancers emailing me and offering me £40 for the lot though :rotfl:
    Do not feed the trolls please.
