Poll: Selling your old systems

[Goldbling]

Okay I wanted to know if anyone on the escapist has tried selling their systems, not to gamestop or anything like that, but to a real person that wants to haggle you and get money out of you.

What are some of your stories?

I'll go first, I'm selling my like new PS3 with 5 games for 475$ whereas you would pay 600 for the same at Gamestop.

 

[JRCB]

I have never sold any system, because I love them all too much.

EDIT: Also, there is only a "Yes" option in your poll. You should fix that.

EDIT 2: And it's fixed.

 

[TheLastCylon]

Erm, there is only one option for the poll. I like to keep my systems.

 

[Radeonx]

The only system I ever sold was my gamecube to my neighbors, because I was going to get a Wii. I got $50. Exciting, right?

 

[Snowalker]

... Why is there a poll if there is only one option?

EDIT: Ninja'd

Yea, I accidentally pressed Enter instead of Tab.

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

I keep all my systems.

 

[PureChaos]

i've only sold mine to shops.

 

[FinalHeart95]

I gave some of my old systems to family friends and stuff, but I still have my SNES.

 

[Kuchinawa212]

Nah they wouldn't be worth anything.
I mean how much is a green see through N64 going for these days 6 bucks?

 

[Blackadder51]

I could never sell one of my old systems.

Also they come in handy if your current one breaks....

*looks at spot were the Ps3 should be*

*sees Ps1*

*sigh*

 

[mikecoulter]

I hate selling things. Don't usually get your money back I also have an emotional attachment to my older systems.

 

[Rascarin]

I've never had a reason to get rid of any of mine, unless they were broken. I still occasionally play games on all my old systems. Wouldn't sell them unless I was desperately desperate for money.

Sold an old piece-of-crap phone for £50 once, though. Ka-ching!

 

[The Maddest March Hare]

Nah, I don't have many old things that are actually able to be sold because I use them to death. My original Xbox is totally dead. My PS2 might go up for sale because I rarely use it, and my N64 has Ocarina of Time on it, and is therefore exempt from all sales and worshipped as a god in my free time. It's also a living reminder that older things last longer, my Xbox died at age 4, this N64 is still working like a charm and is 12 years old.

My mom sold my N64, SNES, PS2 and Game Boy Color. It was a sad day.

I managed to rescue my NES, though, which she will never, ever lay her grubby arms on!

And she took all the money.

I'm planning to buy another SNES, however.

 

[Omikron009]

I considered selling my old xbox at one point when I got my 360, but I realized that perhaps thousands of hours worth of gameplay had been saved on that old machine, and I had so many memories with it I could never sell it.

 

[Agrael]

Well, by systems, I thought that low-end PCs also go in here. Well, I just sold my Pentium 4, 2,99GHZ, 1Gb RAM, GeForce 6600GTX for 1200 Krones! Which is basically 120 USD. Bargain, but worth it.

 

[iblis666]

my old systems are too dear too me i even play my virtual boy still Wario Land is the shit!

Yowch! Why did she do that?

But I've never sold a console, and I'm not planning to for the forseeable future.

 

[Pandalisk]

I keep all my systems, i have a a nintendo 64 and a ps1 that a refuse to sell for it reminds me of my first days of gaming, kept my gameboy to, loved those things.
