I'm getting the PS4 for Christmas, and like most of my friends I'm planning on selling my XBOX 360. However, there is a slight hitch. My mam has found someone at work who will buy it, but because it's for the step-kids and they've had a bit of a 'hard life', she doesn't want to ask more than £100 for it. What.....the.....f***!!!!
It's got to be only about 3 years old, has loads of experienced gameplay, going with 17, yes, SEVENTEEN games. Now, how much would YOU pay for it?
I'd pay around £500.....
As others have noted, £500 (or even £350 as Tom suggests) for a console which is now outdated is a bit steep.
You can buy a brand new PS4 with game for between £300-350 and I reckon we'll see prices drop to below £300 within the next year or so.
As for games, without knowing what you have, they can be pretty worthless too. Last year, when FIFA 14 was released, I picked up a copy of FIFA 12 in GAME for just 50p! I also picked up another game (FABLE 2) for £2.00 as well as Alan Wake for £5.00: three games for less than a tenner. So if your games are old and are the subject of yearly releases (like FIFA), then they're not going to be worth much I'm afraid.
Looking on Ebay, people seem to be listing their XBOX 360's (with a comparable number of games) for between £140-£180. I'd imagine somewhere like CeX, GAME, or Grainger Games will offer you a lot less than that.
