Anyone have experience selling them on eBay or somewhere similar? I also have some 360 games that are probably worth nothing at the moment.
Yea, test all of it and then list each system in a lot on eBay with the games or put on Amazon. If you have some games that are very valuable on their own, keep them separate from the lot. I guess I haven't done this with a game system yet, but I've done it with a bunch of other stuff.
If you're attached to a certain price (don't be) stick with Amazon (or Buy it Now on eBay I guess), but I prefer to just let it go and trust that the ebay market will give you something in the ballpark of a fair price for a 7 day auction. You get rid of your stuff, make a little bit of money, person gets something they want, everyone is happy.
I have no idea how to estimate the shipping beforehand so I'd just make it "free", though you may be losing value there. People probably will bid more on the base price knowing shipping is "free" but it's also possible they'll bid less than what you would have gotten if you charged shipping (but could be the opposite!)
The lowest price on Amazon listings for each console may give you an idea of what to expect.
Again, key imo is to let go of expectations and trust the bidding to give you something close to fair.
EDIT: My mom just sold some of my consoles/games through some online listing site so that's an option too; guy came to the house (obv be careful!). He showed a picture of his own collection and I noticed that on his top shelf was coincidentally my 1994 - Freddy Pharkas, Willy Beamish, Space Quest 1, Police Quest 4, etc.
