Toying with the idea of selling my 'cube, as it's merely gathering dust nowadays, and there aren't any future titles for the platform that overly interest me.

So, I might well stick an ad in the local paper, and was wondering what sort of value you lot would put on it. The details are as follows:

Indigo cube bought on launch day
4 official indigo controllers
2 official memory cars (the smaller 59-block ones)
Official RGB lead
14 pretty decent games as follows:
- Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3
- Xtreme-G 3
- Turok Evolution
- Luigi's Mansion
- Resident Evil
- Star Wars: Rogue Leader
- Super Monkey Ball
- Super Mario Sunshine
- Super Smash Bros. Melee
- Timesplitters 2
- Starfox Adventures
- Eternal Darkness
- Metroid Prime
- Zelda: Wind Waker (Limited Ed.)

All is absolutely prime condition, with all original undamaged boxes and leaflets/manuals.

Just out of interest, like. :-)

If you do sell, sell it on eBay, you'll get much more than you would in the local paper, but make sure you sign up to Paypal so credit card people can buy.

Here's what I reckon you could get;

Indigo cube bought on launch day with Official RGB lead and 1 Official Memory card £80-100
4 official indigo controllers - if boxed then £10+
1 official memory cars (the smaller 59-block ones) £5-8
14 pretty decent games as follows:
- Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 £10
- Xtreme-G 3 £5-10
- Turok Evolution £5
- Luigi's Mansion £10-15
- Resident Evil £10-15
- Star Wars: Rogue Leader £10
- Super Monkey Ball £15-20
- Super Mario Sunshine £12-15
- Super Smash Bros. Melee £10
- Timesplitters 2 £20 - £30
- Starfox Adventures £10-15
- Eternal Darkness £20-25
- Metroid Prime £30+
- Zelda: Wind Waker (Limited Ed.) £30-40

Unfortunately it's well known that people like Dixons and Argos have previously slashed prices, and Nintendo does bundles like the Zelda and Metroid ones so this does effect the prices somewhat.

I'd say if you are selling then the faster the better, but make sure there is really nothing else you want on the system - I sold mine back in March then bought one when Zelda came out, though this does mean I have a nice platinum one rather than my purple one... :)

Hmm...interesting. I was thinking around £200 marker, but I'd probably stick it nearer £250 now.

However, with the thought of MGS and that new Mario game, I might hang on for a bit longer. :-)

P.S. Thanks for (most of) the input!

I made that up to £260, too. That'd be a minimum, I'd say.

But don't sell! There's lots to look forward to; Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy CC, F-Zero GX, 1080 Avalance, New Zelda & Mario, etc.

I nipped through giving everything a reasonable price and landed £260.

That said, don't know if you'd get it.

You may do better splitting it to sell off some of the games seperately. Have a look at what you can expect to get on ebay?
