Ok folks, in light of my current situation, I am going to be auctioning off two of my GameBoy's, two cases (one of them is a silver hard case), cables and chargers, a GameBoy Camera and GameBoy Printer (it's actually pretty cool), and maybe a game or two. I have the original GameBoy too, but my neighbour lent that to me, so I don't think I should auction it off. I've also got some original games too (Tetris, The Final Fantasy Legend, some others), but I'm not sure if I should auction those of either.

I'm at school right now, so I can't post pictures just yet. I can however, post some details.

-GameBoy Advance SP Platinum with original box and charger (and the manuals)
-Intec Pro Gamer's Case for GameBoy Advance SP(Click Here For Case Image (http://www.kalyx.com/store/images/ITCG1339.jpg) -minus the accessories you see)
-GameBoy SP to GameCube Cable (This Cable (http://www.nintendo.com/gcnlarge?gallery=accessory&currentNo=3))
-GameBoy Pocket Black
-GameBoy Pocket Carrying Case (Click Here For Case Image (http://i7.ebayimg.com/01/i/03/50/fa/d3_1_b.JPG)) (This can hold 8 regular GameBoy Games, has a pocket in the back for cables and accessories, and a side pocket for the GameBoy itself.)
-GameBoy Camera
-GameBoy Printer (I'm not sure if I have the manuals) (Batteries and Roll-Paper Included)
-Some other accessories if I can find them.

That's what I have folks. Like I said, I'm keeping the games, but I feel this is still a good lot for eBay. BigBroMario, I need your advice. Given the fact that the SP is barely used (has one small, barely noticable scratch on the side), with original box and everything, how much should I auction this off for on eBay? I'm guessing $50 USD at least...

Pictures when I get home!

Update: Here are some pictures! Images don't work in the auction forums for some reason, so just click on the linkies :P.

Haha, you know how ebay works, right? Unless you're running "buy it now" only, you don't set the price. People will bid up to what they think it's worth, and whoever puts the most money up wins. If you want, you can set a minimum price you'll accept (a reserve) and you won't be obligated to sell unless the price goes over. However, most users just avoid auctions that are marked with a reserve price, so you may be just risking your listing cost.
Be aware though, besides for the camera (and kirby's tilt 'n tumble if the buyer ever decides they want it) everything that can be played on the pocket can also be played on the SP (and better-looking, at that). In that case, I'd advise that you sell the pocket and accessories seperately from the SP and accessories.
Another quick tidbit of advice--although auctions that include games with systems generally run higher than those that only sell the system without any software, people are usually convinced that they're getting more for their money if you "throw in a game". The statement "throw in a game at no extra cost" on ebay is completely false, since they final auction price will be higher, and the cost of the game will be considered anyways. However, people often don't think of that, so it's a good selling tactic to include something, even though you said you don't want to part with any games. Just add some random game to the auction and chances are, it'll run quite a bit higher. Honestly, if you were out to buy, say, and xbox. Would you be more likely to bid on the auction that says "Microsoft Xbox System w/ all cords" or the one titled "Xbox System -- Game Included!". You'd at least take a look at the system with the game, even if it's priced higher than the bare system.

Good luck selling.

Good advice, Gabriel, I'll take what you said and use it :P. Maybe I'll throw in Tetris, George Foreman's KO Boxing, and MAYBE The Final Fantasy Legend. And as for the "you don't set the price", I know that, but sellers have the option of putting in the starting bid price too. I know how eBay works ;).

Sorry for the double post, but it's all up for auction now, at what I think is a reasonable price.

SPAM!

Seriously though, fair price to start at for sure considering the fact you got a boxed complete barely used SP unit, a well used but well treated GBP, all that extra crap, and those games of which mostly are all TripleA quality stuff.

If I were in need of an SP and desired a new GBP I'd have just assumed paid ya off before it was posted. :)

I am a retronut though and humorously stuff have been contemplating a minty condition original GB for rare fun and display purposes.

So...had I not posted it on eBay, you would have made an offer? If that's the case...nothing is stopping you from bidding you know ;).
