xbox 360

[red98]

Need you help gamers....my son wants to sell his xbox 360 arcade,256 MB,3 controllers and 18 games, going to stick it on gumtree/freeads but we dont know what its worth........any gamers on here that can help us ?.......

Probably about £170-190. £200 tops.

One thing I will say though is tell him not to undervalue the games, backwards compatibility has just been released for the Xbox one (meaning it can now play xbox 360 games), so the games are still of use to people who have the latest console.

I sold my Xbox 360 about 2 years ago and had a similar amount of stuff and I never got much more.

Wow....cheers mick, didn't think it was worth that much.......do these things sell well second hand ?

It's tech Paul, tends to sell ok.

Here's one with only two controllers and 10 games (6 of which are FIFA) for £120

So even at £5 a pop, your 8 games is an extra £40 and another controller will add £5-10.

I would say ask the £190 but he prepared to take £170 for it, which is not unrealistic, especially if the games are decent.

I think I had mines advertised at £220 and I took £200 for mine, but I only had it up for sale for 4-5 days.

Lol....thats got tom interested.....hes trying to find out if his games are part of the "backwards compatibilty " doing his sums as I type, ....got him off his PS4 at last      cheers for you help mick

No putting a downer on it but your son's console has no internal memory, most of the new games GTA V etc require hard drive space so that may reduce the price somewhat.

I'd be surprised if it got over £100 to be honest. I have seen the elite version with 20+ decent games fetch little over £70

Oh, it is actually 256Mb. I just assumed red was having an older moment and that it was actually a 250Gb like mine. Didn't even know you got them with less than 1Gb.

[red98]

"Older moment"cheeky foccer..... .....its a few years old, been in the loft room a few years unused, ill stick it on freeads at £50 and see what happens.

How dare you assume that he is getting old.

I tend to think now that consoles are worth keeping in the attic.....they are the one thing that in my opinion people would come back to in future and still enjoy..........I have an old PS1 up in my attic and I wish I had kept my older consoles, (maybe not the sega Saturn), but sega mega drive, SNES, original xbox.......I actually just went a bought a copy super Nintendo for my 9 year old niece as I wanted her to experience some old school gaming.....and I used to have one...so that's a long term false economy I made ever getting rid of it in the first place.............im now angling for a PS4 & I reckon ill stick my xbox 360 up in the attic.

all that being said.....£100 is £100 and it's like selling old bikes to get a new bike...although with that the bikes take up allot of room and you cant just stick them up in the attic can you.

im saying £100 with all the games........they are an old model and it is xmas when everyone wants a new model, not old....they aren't old enough to become nostalgic.....and you can get the latest PS4 or Xbox one for £300 brand new.....plus I always go half price for good second hand so that would in my book put a used PS4 or xbox one at £200 which is more than half price, not that there are many but for arguments sake anyway.......so you wouldn't be wanting to pay that for a previous model console.

well theres a typical noggy answer

have you tried cash convertors? take it to them to get priced up on saturday. then stick it up for sale knowing that if you not sold it in a week for more then you can go back & get that the following Saturday!!

[red98]

good idea ROBBIE.....NOGGY,"bikes in the loft"...stop giving me ideas,iam more than capable of getting myself into trouble when it comes to storing old oily/rusty bike/car parts in the house.....mmmmm..loft room is empty at the moment     




might stick it on ebay,gumtree,freeads tonight see if we can sell it over the weekend,put top price on it,can always come down,cant go up
