Feeler for selling my Nintendo Wii

I don't feel like I'm being a dick.  I feel like if you're not goign to buy it then don't but saying "hey you can get that much" is just sort of pointless.  At best it does nothing, at worst it gets me less money, which I can't see how that would hurt you.

To ackblom12: i certanly don't expect 700.  If it seems that way, it's that my wording is off.  Again, 700+ is what I PERSONALLY spent for all that, not even close to what i think i WILL get for it.

I mean to directly quote form my post " I'll probably let it go for a lot less than 700"
I'm curious as to what kinda offers I'll be getting.  I wansn't meaning to be a dick to you, obsessions, but since you all you did is say "hay thats not worth that much" and not even bother with a guess at how much it's worth/how much youd spend on it, I feel like you were the one being unhelpful :)

Honest answer, honest assesment. $350 would be pushing it and to get that, you'd need to find an ideal customer who's looking for most of the games you dumped cash into the VC for anyway. I'd say $300 is the likely amount, as anything more than that and most sensible people would rather just buy one new. Otherwise, you'd be pretty much unconscionably fleecing someone and you don't even deserve good advice.

You asked for opinions and I gave one, one that equates to pretty sound advice. Whether you enjoyed what I had to say or not, it's something I'd recommend heeding. You're saying that if you really want SSBB later then you'll just buy another one. If that's the case, it's an outright idiotic idea to sell it in the first place. Look at the math:

You've spent over $700 already, but as it is, you've got a Wii with a lot of VC games going for it. You've at least gotten something out of your money.
If you sell it, you'll get, at most, half of that back, bringing you to $350 in the hole with absolutely nothing at all to show for it.
A Wii price drop is likely close to another year off at their current pace, so if you buy a new one for Brawl, that's another $250 to spend, minimum, putting you $600 in the hole and lacking all of those VC games you spent good money on.

Fiscally speaking, selling the thing at this juncture with how much money you've sunk into it is nothing but a money pit and the basic equivelant of taking about $1,000 and throwing it right down the shitter. If that sounds reasonable to you, I'd recommend you stay the fuck out of the stock market, for your own good.

Instead of throwing a way a piece of equipment you'll very likely end up either replacing later or regretting the sale of, save up for the bike. Otherwise, you're sacrificing long term value for short term and impatient gratification. This should be common sense.

I guess we'll see what the offers are vs waht you think they'll be.  I kinda haven't gotten any yet.

jmrz:
I agree with everything that Obsessions has said. The fact that you have not yet had any offers is indicative of a few things:
a) that the price you are looking at, whether it be $700 or not, is unrealistic.
b) the console is USED. People don't tend to like buying used consoles for a variety of reasons.

Honestly, I would suggest that you keep it. For you to sell it, along with all the VC games that you have spent all this money on, seems to be a huge waste of your time and funds. It would work out better for you, economically to keep it and wait for the games you want to be released. Selling it now isn't really going to help you.

That's just redundant. There's really no point in people saying they agree with me considering I'm always right.
