My endeavor to get a new MacBook...

[Ramesh]

So I'm trying to get some $$$ together to get a MB, MBA, or MBP (depending on much I can muster up). One thing I'm selling is my Wii - and I had a question about that. Is the demand still high? I got mine back in December, right before Christmas, but I haven't been playing it that much. I've gotten too deep in my 360, and I wouldn't mind parting ways with it.

Anyway - what would guys recommend a good asking price? I have the Wii (orginal box and accessories), 2 remotes, 2 nunchuks, Mario Galaxy, and Mario Party 8.... I think after tax, I spent around $440.

Any ideas?

the demand is still high, its still sold out at most major electronic stores.

They seem to be going for $350 - $400 in my area, depending on the number of controllers, games, etc.

thanks, guys.

Oh, they do tend to disappear pretty fast at those prices though. But, there seems to be a lot of them for sale in the Bay Area....high turnover. I was looking to upgrade from my PS2 but thought console prices would be even lower by now.

More importantly though, we need to get you on to a Mac ASAP! What else have you got to sell?

I have my iMac, but I would like a notebook, too. I find that I use the notebook more, and I am planning on going back to school this year, and 1 computer in the home is not going to cut it.

You wouldn't be interested, would you? You're running a PS2 still? How long have you had it?

Nah, I don't have much cash right now. I've only had my PS2 for a month or so. I guess I'll hold on to it until prices come down...or until my birthday

I'll give you my old '84 Mac. You'll be able to sell it for quite a bundle..

When I made up my mind to get the MacBook, I was thinking- what to sell; what to sell. I considered my PS3 (60GB), Wii (9 games) and PSP (games & movies). But being the big kid I can be, I kept them all.

This past Friday, I sold my iPhone and today another phone I stopped using about 8 months ago. Another $300 sale and I'll have made back the $1100 I spent on this MacBook.

I remember when I wanted to sell a few things before, and at the time, I couldnt find one person interested; I didnt have a desire to do eBay- then in less than a week, people are popping out of corners wanting to buy things. As long as they're buying, I'm selling- but not my games.

Well, I posted up on MMi's sell forum (http://modmyifone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=31731) hopefully someone bites. Also on craigslist. I HATE eBay....

John - '84 mac? lol - Which OS are you running on that?!
