    It's worth about €40 if you're a seller and are mental :D

    OP - check out Ebay ended auction (advanced search/sold), I was looking them up a few weeks back and think I saw some had sold for about €300.

    Cool.. I will ask for 350 or nearest offer.. I suppose it s a rare enough item.. It was bought years back, put in the attic, and forgotten about :)


    Thanks lads

    This is definitely one for Ebay. The collector market who would be interested in this is absolutely tiny, so you'd need to advertise it on a global scale.

    Cheers!!! will do

    Thanks!

    Might put up my amigas too... I have an upgraded 1200 with upgraded ram cpu and HD, a 600 and 500+ too

    CEX have them for 35 pound, so wouldn't expect too much. a boxed ps2 may fetch a lot in the near future though

    No offence but I cant see the OP getting anywhere near €300, there is a sold one here on ebay for €178 which I think would be more realistic, here's another new factory sealed for same.

    What about the shipping cost?
    There are plenty of items cheaper in one country, you have to factor in shipping cost to the final price.

    That's my point.
    The one linked above in the UK has shipping cost of €30, so if the OP opens up the sale to a larger audience as suggested and decides to list on ebay, shipping to say anywhere in Europe, he will get less money for it due to the high shipping costs of probably €30-€50 Europe-wide depending on courier, if he lists it locally there will be much less of a market, its a lose, lose situation.

    Those two links are from the US, where's the UK one?


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,146 ✭✭✭CathalDublin


    Sorry one of them was a UK one, I swear! mixed up the links between the phone browser, app and the pc, which all give me different results, will have to find it again. There is also a sealed in box one on ebay uk for €249 or best offer inc shipping.

    Can we keep this on topic lads, the gent is trying to sell an Xbox, he has set a price. If you want to discuss the merits of his reasoning regarding reaching the sum then form a new topic in the main forum.
