as some of you probably read in my fundraiser thread, i have decided to sell my xbox and games on ebay since EB and gamestop will only give me like 30 bucks max for all the shit. So what it is, a basic xbox (not 360) in perfect working condition.  I have 23 games with it which i will list off. 2 controllers, a strategy guide, and a monster s video cable which retails for like 30 bucks by itself. what i need you guys to do is help me out with the reserve price i should put on ebay. as you know i need 130 bucks by next 2 mondays from now. i dont want to list the reserve at 130 because if i dont get that out of it i will be mad because of wasting my time. what is a good reserve price? also, what is the fee to list something on ebay?



The games are as follows:
Sega GT 2002 & Jet Set Radio Future (2 pack shit that came with the console)
Star Wars Clone Wars & Tetris Worlds (another 2 pack)
Goldeneye Rogue Agent
MX vs ATV Unleashed
Major League Baseball 2k5
Links 2004
Tony Hawks Underground 2
NCAA Football 06
SSX On Tour
Driver 3
Greg Hastings Tournament Paintball
Need For Speed Most Wanted
Moto GP 3
Volvo Drive For Life
Mortal Kombat Deception
XIII
Doom 3
Narc
Fight Night 2004
Delta Force Black Hawk Down
Dead to Rights
Halo 2
FIFA Street

The strategy guide goes to Driver 3, and i checked the retail price on the Monster cable, it is 39.99.

I just searched for "xbox" on ebay and this one guy is selling like 8 games, 4 controllers, and cables for like 60+24 shipping and theres 21 hours left. You're bound to make at least $85. I'd say, start it at like 9.99, then have your friends bid up to like $50 or so and wait a few days. If it doesn't get to like $90/$100, just have one of your friends win it and you just have to pay ebay a few bucks i guess. That way theres no reserve and you still make what you want.

Try listing it on craigslist.  It is all  local.
