WING-X Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I was wondering does anybody know a good place were I can sell my xbox 360 for a okay price? Was thinking selling it to gamestop ,but don't know any other place besides amazon too. Any info would be helpfull? Quote Link to comment
Bowser81889 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Besides eBay, the only other place I can think of is Facebook Marketplace. My sisters have sold some stuff of their own using it. Or if you have a smartphone, you could use the LetGo app. My aunt's had some success using it. Quote Link to comment

I never heard about facebook marketplace since I only use facebook once in awhile ,but that's about it. Would try letgo ,but don't have a phone "sigh". Thanks again for the info.

Doc Brown Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 (edited) If you try to sell the system through a local newspaper, be careful. I tried that once with a spare PS2 and a person tried to scam me with a cashier's check offer (via text message). Ended up not selling it. Edited January 13, 2018 by Doc Brown Quote Link to comment
Gold Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Local gamestores would be your best bet, outside of setting your own price on Craigslist or FB marketplace. Whatever the equivilant of a mom and pop game store in your area is. Quote Link to comment
ace Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I mean with how little an Xbox 360 is worth, it's probably best to just hang onto it. If you are dead set on selling it I would do it through craigslist. It's local, it's easy, and best of all it's free Quote Link to comment
WING-X Posted January 13, 2018 Author Share Posted January 13, 2018 Thanks for the tips Quote Link to comment
Laclipsey Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I wouldn't go through Gamestop, of all places. I don't know their actual policy, but I don't trust them to pay anywhere near what it's worth on trade-ins- especially on consoles- and besides I think they only give you store credit. If that's okay with you, go for it, but I have to echo Craigslist. Quote Link to comment

I agree that gamestop doen't give that much credit for console stuff and other stuff ,but the one close to my house the people are pretty much nice and they kind of know me already since I shope there somtimes. As for craiglist my younger brother told me it's okay ,but told he that people would bother me all the time if I put my email up for the item. Thanks for the tip .

That's why you use a throwaway email specifically made for craigslist Quote Link to comment
Irondog666 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I never get rid of consoles anymore. I still have my original N64 and Sega Genesis. Outside of room issues I couldn't see any real reason to get rid of a console. I have room issues (800 square foot apartment) and I have my NES, SNES, N64, Sega Genesis, Sega CD, Dreamcast, GameCube, Wii U, Switch, and PS4 hooked up to the same TV. I stopped selling consoles years ago once I realized that there would always be a yearning to return to some of the games on my consoles (call it nostalgia or whatever). If you really want to sell it I would only recommend eBay or Craiglist for a fair profit. Quote Link to comment

And don't worry, I don't have a smartphone capable of downloading apps like LetGo either. If you had a tablet, you probably could...or you could ask a close family member or friend to ask if they'd consider letting you use their phone for that kind of thing. But you're probably better off just finding a method you can personally access yourself, if you're still trying to sell it. Either way, no problem and hope it goes well for ya.

The Ultimate Mario Fan Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I'd use Craigslist. Avoid GameStop at all costs. If you sell as an online vendor then you'd practically break even on the fees and shipping costs. By the way, good choice on selling the 360. Quote Link to comment
