Advice: Get My Ass To PAX

[violent]

As many of you know, I've been looking for a job for a few months now to no avail. Market here is shit and I don't want to bore you with the details. What I do need is some advice. The easiest way for me to make some decent scratch to guarantee my place out there is selling my stuff that I don't use. The big ticket item right now is my Wii collection. I need to find out what is the best way to pull in the maximum amount of cash for it. eBay and Craigslist are all options but I wanted to communicate with you guys first seeing as I've seen us pull more together than apart. My collection is as follows:

Hardware

Wii System
1 Wiimote
1 Nunchuk
LAN Adapter
Classic Controller
Component Cables


Software

Wii Sports
Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Wario Ware: Smooth Moves
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Zack & Wiki
Resident Evil 4
Super Paper Mario


WiiWare and Downloads

Lost Winds
Final Fantasy: My Life As A King
ActRaiser
Bomberman '93
Bonk's Adventure
Breath of Fire 2
Columns
Comix Zone
Contra 3: Alien Wars
Ecco The Dolphin
F-Zero
Golden Axe
Gunstar Heroes
LandStalker
Mario Kart 64
Phantasy Star 2
Shining Force
Sim City
Sin and Punishment
Sonic the Hedgehog
Super Castlevania 4
Super Mario 64
Super Mario Bros.
Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels
Super Mario World
Super Metroid
Legend of Zelda
Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time


So there you have it. What can I pull?

Well, no wonder you don't use your Wii enough. Only one wiimote?

I have friends who also own a Wii so it's a matter of bringing yours when you come over. I don't remember the last time that happened to be honest. PAX, damnit.

Eh, I can't go to PAX this year, so let's talk why you should keep the Wii instead.

1) We haven't played SMK or SSBB online yet. Admittedly, this is mostly because I suck. Nonetheless.

2) What happens if you sell the Wii, get a job, and can't go to PAX anyways? Rebuilding that VC/WW library would suck.

3) NSMBWii and Metroid are going to be shithot. Don't delude yourself into thinking you won't end up with another Wii.

4) You're just upset about the heart monitor. I get why you hate it, but you don't HAVE to buy it. From what I see, you're remarkably restrained in your accessory purchases. I've got the crossbow POS, a Nyko gun (which is GREAT, btw) Three wiimotes, two nunchucks, one Nyko wireless nunchuck adapter (also rad), a classic controller and two Wavebirds. You've got the willpower.

The amount of fun at PAX is infinitely greater than the amount of fun a Wii will get him.

He's coming to PAX if I have to fly down to Florida and drag his ass there myself.

I'll certainly be there, it's merely a matter of getting the pieces together.

Are you looking to sell as a package deal or can I inquire to the prices of individual (obviously disk based) games?

I have to go with a package unfortunately. Otherwise, I'm gonna be left with the remaining scraps of a device I probably won't own anymore and getting only a fraction of what I probably need for this trip.

That's what I figured. Sadly I already have a Wii. I was just eyeballing some of your games that I've been meaning to pick up and haven't had a chance to. Oh well!

Yeah, sorry about that.

[Kelegacy]

I'll give you 50 bucks.

[civil]

I say $51, Bob.

[Kelegacy]

Oh, so it's going to be this way huh? Okay, $49.

Not to ruin your thread violent...if I had the money I'd buy another Wii for games like Boom Blox, etc. I think eBay is going to be your best bet for most bang for your buck. I mean, eBayers buy 360 transfer cables that are free from MS and Wii Sports copies for 40 bucks or so.

That's also why I hate modern eBay.

[MagGnome]

If I had the scratch I'd take all of that off of your hands for a good price, but alas money is very tight right now.

Good luck!

[Ghostbear]

Let me know Violent, I could be convinced to take it off your hands.
