    Ok that's the name of the game and the rules are self explanatory. But just in case. Post an Item you have, you've bought recently or whatever and let the others decide it's fate:)

    Pictures are appreciated but not necessary.

    So I'll start with this gamecube with 3 games all minty clean and 3 DS games (I don't have a DS at the moment though). There are 4 there but I sold animal crossing.

    I bought the Lot for $30 AUD and sold the Animal Crossing already for a hefty $20:D

    So what do you think people?

    Sell the rest, trade it off, or keep it

    Well Mickey isn't a bad game. X8 has nostalgia factor for some, even me & people going for a full set would surely want (or probably already have) them

    I still could use a PAL game with 50/60hz selector for testing. Just I've been too cheap to pay postage on one. :witless:

    If people are aiming to own all Gamecube releases, of course they'd want them. ;)

    How can you feel nostalgia for something that happened less than 10 years ago?

    It's not about the quality of the games, it's about the fact that they're extremely common, not worth anything and nobody really wants them that much.

    Well I am catering to the I want a cheap gamecube/game console with games crowd. So less likely targeting a collector with what I'm selling:D

    Usually if I get sports games like that I throw them in when I sell a system, that's about all I could tell you.

    Sell all the GC stuff as a bundle, and the DS games separate.

    Yup, sell the DS stuff, keep the GC and do as you will with the games, then buy some decent GC titles, one of my favourite consoles some great games that aren't afraid to break from the norm.

    I have to disagree, no point in owning a GC nowadays. Just buy a Wii and softmod it, it does everything the GC does and more.

    The wii doesn't have the gameboy player as well. And as a gameboy collector that's a big turn away for me, so I'd keep the gamecube if you like playing gameboy games on your T.V

    Update: Sold Animal crossing for 20.
    Sold the GC (since I'm primarily sticking SNES and PS2 games because they're probably the cheapest console to shop for in sydney) for 55
    cost me all up $30.
    Profits went towards stuff like a copy of Adams family values I got off ebay for $20 posted, which is fair.

    Now don't be afraid to join in here people. But yeah I'll keep things going with this good question.

    Gonna trade my copy of Ninja Warriors T.N.G Pal for these games

    Alien 3
    Pac Attack
    Super Star Wars
    Jurassic Park
    Super R-type
    World series basketball?? (the really common one, which i still don't have)
    &
    Super Soccer (which I already have)


    KEEP OR TRADE?

    Shit I agonize over selling / keeping all the time. I have a small eBay shop of stuff that I've picked up on the cheap, and half the stuff I sell goes with a degree of reluctance. I'll chime in on this thread with pics soon, but recent examples include:

    Boxed NES Action Set - KEEP. Keep keep keep. (even though I could sell for ~£70ish)
    Zelda: A Link To The Past (SNES): - SELL :(. Love the game but I could use the coin.

    Could go on and on. Even when I decide to keep, the stuff usually stays lying around for a month or so until the novelty wears off and I sell.

    BTW: Regarding gamecube stuff, I picked up a job lot of Boxed Gamecube, Wavebird, 15 games including Pikmin, Pikmin 2, Metroid 1 & 2, etc etc. All for £40. First I decided I was just going to sell the non-exclusive games and keep the exclusives... then I sold the exclusives. Only got a few left now. These were all in PERFECT condition by the way, like they hadn't been used at all. In the end i'll be left with a boxed gamecube and wavebird for free, and a chunk of profit. Definitely keeping the gamecube because I'm about to mod my other gamecube with a XENO chip, and modded consoles just don't feel right in a boxed collection.
