a bit of buyer's remorse... need advice

so i let my friends and brother talk me into selling my xbox 360 + accessories so i could game with all of them on PS3. i made the change over to PS3 this past april, but have begin feeling a bit of buyer's remorse. i am starting to gather information about making the transition back to xbox 360, i guess you could call me a flip flopper... or just an idiot! i am not a fanboy of either system, but simply prefer the online community of 360 to that of PS3.

i called gamestop to see what they would give me for the following:

PS3 (120 gb)
1 wireless controller + recharge cord
red dead redemption
mlb 10 - the show
batman: arkham asylum
little big planet - goty edition

gamestop would give me only $290!! that is also with some promotion they're currently running for trading in systems.

guess my question is, if i put this "bundle" on craigslist, how much should i put for a price? i was thinking $425, but not sure if that would be the best price.

can i get some thoughts? advice?

thanks a lot!

your better off sticking with what you got , craiglist is hit or miss that may be up for a minute or someone will prob try to talk you down which i suspect some may be willing to pay 375 or 390.

425 is a good starting point and if you can get it, great. But I would consider going down to $400 to make the sale, no lower though.

The question is are you playing more single player or multiplayer games? Why wouldn't you want to be on a console where all your friends and family are gaming on? Just a few questions.

he said the main reason is he likes LIVE better then the PSN network, which to many is not a surprise.

Seems like you could buy all of that new for $425. Good luck though. You never know what can happen.

If I were you, I would put each item individually on both eBay and Craigslist. It will take more time, but you will be sure to sell quickly and get a high price.

Pretty close anyway. IMO $425 is a little high.

A fair price for the system itself would be $225-250, MLB around $35-40, Batman, $30-40, RDR, $45-50, and LBP, $15-20. You have to remember to base your asking prices off of what you stuff sells for used, not new. I would say it comes out to about $375-$390. Its all about what someone will pay. In my experience with Craigslist, people seem to shy away from bundles. Most people who are in the market for a system don't want everything you have.
