Don't have time for this anymore. What is the best way to get rid of my system, games and accessories?

all those morons who bought wiis to sell on ebay have driven the price right down
― DG, Sunday, 24 February 2008 19:46 (eighteen years ago)
I would guess that your best bet would be to sell your system separately from the games and the accessories. The reasoning behind that is that the number of people who are STILL looking for just the Wii by itself, and who would prefer to pick out their games and accessories (which are a hell of a lot easier to find), is much larger than the number of people in the market for a system+games+accessories. According to Intro. to Microeconomics-informed logic, that means you would get a better price.
As far as where to sell them and the rest of the whole selling process, I have no idea. :)

sell it to me for $5

I'll buy it for $6.
― Leee, Monday, 25 February 2008 00:35 (eighteen years ago)

― J0rdan S., Monday, 25 February 2008 00:36 (eighteen years ago)
i know a lot of dudes who have wii's and never play them. methinks the novelty has worn off. @ my place N64 stays burning while the wii sulks in the corner

Anyhow - I don't imagine you'll have a hard time getting at least cost for your wii - you could try ebay / amazon / craigslist or equivalent - but what I'd do is just ask around - everybody wants one of these things, so I'm sure somebody you know or somebody at your job or wherever would take it off your hands easy. If you're extremely lazy and don't mind selling at a loss, I'm sure any used game store would be happy to pick up an extra wii to sell.
But I'd keep it - the money isn't a lot (unless you really need it) and maybe somewhere down the road you'll find you have more time or interest in the thing - or some game will come out that you really want to play. I know I wish I sure had more of the old consoles and computers that passed out of my life
― Jeff LeVine, Monday, 25 February 2008 06:50 (eighteen years ago)
It's not the uselessness so much as the embarrassment of waking up and realizing that the coolest game thing is still a dorky piece of trash.
― libcrypt, Monday, 25 February 2008 06:55 (eighteen years ago)
I'll pay you $11.
― HI DERE, Monday, 25 February 2008 16:31 (eighteen years ago)

― bell_labs, Monday, 25 February 2008 16:53 (eighteen years ago)

― bell_labs, Monday, 25 February 2008 16:54 (eighteen years ago)
i've realized you can play twilight princess on gamecube and they are cheap as hell on ebay. who needs a wii?
― bell_labs, Monday, 25 February 2008 17:07 (eighteen years ago)
gamecube was nintendo?? figures, i guess
― sunny successor, Monday, 25 February 2008 17:08 (eighteen years ago)
yeah it was. i got my ex a gamecube years ago but i played it more than he did. i want it back now!! i should have been bitchier during that breakup.
― bell_labs, Monday, 25 February 2008 17:11 (eighteen years ago)

― bell_labs, Monday, 25 February 2008 17:12 (eighteen years ago)

people who want to play Super Mario Galaxy, Smash Brothers Brawl, Zack & Wiki, No More Heroes, etc.?
plus Twilight Princess is kind of a let-down.
― Garrett Martin, Tuesday, 4 March 2008 20:20 (eighteen years ago)
twilight princess was dope! I bought fire emblem finally and haven't taken the time to pick up and play it. for some reason I am afraid if I fire up a new RPG or whatever I'll stay up playing until 5:30 am despite the fact that half the time I stay up until 4 or 5 am regardless.
― El Tomboto, Tuesday, 4 March 2008 21:27 (eighteen years ago)
I stopped playing Twilight Princess right when I got to the part where I have to shoot flying things out of the sky before they set a covered wagon on fire. that shit was just controller-hurlingly frustrating. gimme Phantom Hourglass over it any day of the week.
― jamescobo, Tuesday, 4 March 2008 22:42 (eighteen years ago)
I loved that part! the only parts I didn't enjoy were the first three fights with that troll. that son of a bitch.
― El Tomboto, Tuesday, 4 March 2008 22:43 (eighteen years ago)
gawd, i need to finish fire emblem. Distracted by new job... must focus on WHAT IS IMPORTANT and get back to the game.
― forksclovetofu, Tuesday, 4 March 2008 22:48 (eighteen years ago)
any tips for this noob
― El Tomboto, Tuesday, 4 March 2008 22:48 (eighteen years ago)
i hardly have to tell you, but be a bulldog and don't let any of your characters die. It pays off later in the game and you'll feel better about yourself as a person. Whole lotta restarting though...
― forksclovetofu, Wednesday, 5 March 2008 14:53 (eighteen years ago)
Ok, I think I'm going to sell the console with Wii Play and Wii Sport and my two controllers and get rid of the games at a gamestop. How should I think of a price?
― Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Thursday, 6 March 2008 17:13 (eighteen years ago)
Retail value - 20% - (.5% * no. months owned)
― HI DERE, Thursday, 6 March 2008 17:15 (eighteen years ago)
How does 275 sound with a bunch of Virtual Console games 2 classic controllers, 2 wiimotes, 2 nunchucks and a wireless sensor bar sound?
― Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Thursday, 6 March 2008 19:17 (eighteen years ago)
jamescobo otm about the covered wagon thing. The first time I hit that bit I very nearly stopped playing out of boredom. The second time (~9 months ago) I ACTUALLY stopped playing and I've not been back since.
That, and the fact that the entire game is uninspired and derivative and self-congratulatory and boring. Thank christ for Mario Galaxy then.
