I am unsure how to value some of the used things I have that I'd like to sell due to a small need for some extra money. I'm not asking for buyers or donors in this thread (unless you happen to be interested in what I want to hock) but just help on how much I should be asking for these things.

My Wii: I like it but I never use it anymore. I also have seven or eight games I'd be willing to package with it, and two controllers both with nunchuks. I'm guessing this would be about $300-$350.

My PSP: 3 games. I never use this. It's the white one with Darth Vader on it. I'm thinking like $100-$150?

My macbook: I also like this but... I just prefer Windows and in the future I think I'll get a netbook. It's just over two years old, 2.2GHz, 2GB RAM, 160GB HD, 13" screen, black. I'm really lost on valuing this. $700? There are some scratches on the case from tables, etc, nothing extreme, but the screen is clear and everything works 100%.

Thanks all for any help

What's the condition of the PSP, and what are the three games? I'll buy it...

When I consider selling stuff, I check ebay for recent completed listings to see what the average selling price is, since that is what people are actually paying. If you're selling locally, you can bump that up another 20% or so if you think you can get it, while allowing someone to negotiate you down if you really need to move it. On ebay for example, Wii plus 8 games and some controllers have sold for $173-271, you can expect somewhere in the $200 range, depending on the popularity and age of your game selection. You might make slightly more by selling the console with controllers, then 8 games as a bundle. Locally (like craigslist), you might be able to start around $275 and go down.

There are some scuffs on the back, solely on the small metal disc that surrounds the PSP logo and small one above Darth Vader's head that's hard to see. The screen has sort of a streaky quality to it when turned to the right light, I'm not sure if this is just residue from wiping the screen (I used a lens cleaner & cloth recommended on another forum re cleaning electronics' screens). It's not noticeable during use, however. Otherwise it's clean and works 100%.

The games are Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters, Patapon and Star Wars: Battlefront Renegade Squadron. All the games work, but there is no case for Renegade Squadron. It was bundled with my PSP and came in this flimsy cardboard thing; I swap it with whatever game is currently in the PSP. I have the charger, as well, naturally. There is a 2GB Memory Stick. I also have this software called PSP Media Manager, I think it was a gift, but I don't remember using it. It says it 'comes with a 6 foot USB cable' although there isn't one here so... I must've done something with it. But if you want the software, I can send that along too. I'm sure you can find a compatible USB cable, you might own one for something else. I don't have original the PSP's box or manuals. I just don't have the space to keep of all that. I never bought any carry case or anything like that either.

Hylian and Klew: Thanks; those are some good ideas. Makes good sense to check ebay. I suppose if I'm going to sell online I'll need a paypal account or something similar...
