Nice pickup! The slim 360 and the xbone alone are worth the $400 price tag. The games though, after seeing them I'm not surprised gamestop didn't offer more total...almost all of them can be had in store for a few bucks each. Either way, you can get a decent chunk of change back if you decide to sell a couple of the systems and the duplicate games.

The games are just icing for this. The Xbox One and 250gb were worth the price tag. Everything else is just a bonus - and while most of the 360 games are blah, I have very few of them (just the AAA titles, really) so I get about 45 $5-$10 games for free.
I honestly think the seller was more put off by the Xbox One and games included and STILL that low.
I am also just now realizing I did not include Batman Arkham Knight in the picture. This was also included.

He also included 60 Xbox 360 games and 4 Xbox One games. There were also a bunch of unused DLC and game cards (like the Assassins' Creed bundle games), so that increased the game total even further. I guess the guy was in his 50's and wanted to either give up gaming or move to PC - he kinda gave me both impressions. Either way he went to Gamestop and they told him they would give him about $400 for the lot. A little put off, he decided to sell it instead of letting GS scalp him. I told him it was worth more, but he didn't seem to care. Apparently I wasn't even the first to respond to this, but I am the first person who didn't try to talk him down on price, ergo it's now mine.

This has been my experience a few times as well. People on Craigslist like hearing 'I'll take it' once in a while, rather than 'wud u do 15 cuz 100 seems a little hi'
noemann:
got another DS game in the mail today:
regarding the other two games mentioned before:
the lady had her account suspended so it looks like i will not get the games afterall.
oh well. moving on. just need to get my money back...
noemann:
picked up a few more ds games yesterday but i'll be nervous until i get them in the mail.
i still cannot believe that lady had her account suspended.
anyway, i'll post a pic of all of my ds pickups for the month when the new ones arrive.
i'm building a pretty good library of ds games. prices are good now versus other systems.
