Talked to him last night, told him I'd stick to $500 unless he gave me some more information. There was grumbling, but he agreed to look and give me a more detailed account of what he had. So, mid-day, I receive an email:
500$ is too low, look at everything and see for yourself. This must be sold before black friday! I'm looking at a Playstation 4 or Xbox one and a wii U (depending on the sales of course) and at least a lot of games so i need 600$ or so.
115 games, it would take too long to list them all!
Some info about games:
- no madden, baseball, FIFA, anything like that
- all games work, ive either played them or they are new
- only game ive 2 of is halo 4 (regular and collectors edition)
- 11 are stil shinkwrapped so they are brand new
- killer is dead special edition still new
- call of duty ghosts prestige is still new
- halo 3 with game, bonus disc, helmet, helmet cover cloth, original box, helmet is in perfect condition, box has some scuffs
- Halo 4 with metal case, gray dossier box, download codes, mini-guides, cardboard sleeve, everything like new except one of the codes which i used
- halo reach with statue (no damage, all parts), original box, all the tie in stuff that comes with it, diary, files, its really cool
- fallout New Vegas has poker chips, deck of cards, bonus disc, original box, and 2 copies of the comic book. all like new
- 3 Skylander statues and 2 bases. used to have about 30 but ive sold them a few weeks ago
- floor controller for dance game
- black Xbox 360 gamepad
- white Xbox 360 gamepad and chat keyboard attachment
- Xbox 360 chat mic, never used
and info about the other stuff:
- halo legends movie
- prototype strategy guide
- prototype 1 and 2 comic books (2 books)
- metal gear rising strategy guide
- gears of war judgement collectors edition strategy guide
- fallout new vegas strategy guide, still new, i never needed it lol
- assassins creed art book (the art of assassins creed)
- assassins creed 4 book (blackbeards journal), still new, never got around to reading
- 13 books all game tie ins. ghost recon, hawx, splinter cell, mass effect, endwar. i have others laying around somewhere, i will throw them in when i find them.
hit me up on lunch if you have any other questions. ill let you know about those other books too
And then, about an hour later, a second email:
i dug around for the books and i found some stuff I think you might be interested in:
- more books (12 more books, dragon age comics, resident evil books, dragon age book, resistance comic)
- littlebigplanet strategy guide, dont even have a ps3!
also xbox games:
- mechassasult 1 and 2
- steel batallion (with the controller foot pedals and control panel, and original instruction manual, its huge! works perfectly)
- 2 controller for the first xbox
and about the price, i think 700$ would be fair for everything. let me know on monday what you think
So in conclusion, I have more information than I did before. A total of 118 games, no sports or duplicate games, multiple special editions in new or near new condition, a veritable pile of game tie-in books and strategy guides, multiple controllers, some random other stuff, and a Steel Battalion controller. And a hard expectation of price - $700. The special editions and Steel Battalion stuff tip the balance, and this would more than double my Xbox 360 collection in one fell swoop.
It's not that I can't afford it (though it is quite a bit of money), and it's not that it's a bad deal. It's just that it almost doesn't feel good ENOUGH for $700. It's enough money that my regular 'this is a good deal' sensors aren't working properly. If you were me, would you go for it, try to bargain it down, or just leave it?
