How much should i list this item for?

**philshark2** · 08-30-2015, 10:37 PM

I have this nintendo Dsi that i want to sell for parts, it flashes on then immediately turns off, the screen is not connected to the top, I was thinking about $10-15 plus shipping but I would like some more advice.

**webuyselltradestuff** · 08-30-2015, 10:47 PM

ummm...no...a simple check on Ebay for these as "parts" systems shows .99-$10 MAX...and that would be for one with the top attached form what I saw. Noone really fixes these...you MIGHT get lucky for a couple of bucks but I would not hold my breath. Pretty much time to scrap most likely.

In the future, Ebay holds ALL the answer to just about anything you might want to resell...check the SOLDS in the last 30 days for your item to judge popularity and feasibility of selling and for what amount.

alright thanks, I guess this will go for scrap

Agreed on the last point- use SOLD listings, not completed ones.

I'd agree on scrapping it. I don't think there's much money in this one....

Check both. I have checked sold for item X and found a few listings where it sold for whatever amount and was hopeful, then I checked completed listings and found that 90% went unsold for the same price.

This is a great way to judge if you think its worth listing some items. I find it be patient and just wait for the one buyer who will want to buy it. Mike

**matador** · 08-31-2015, 11:48 AM

Agreed on that point. Don't go off what the highest listing price is, though. Just because one guy tried to sell an OptiPlex GX620 for $350 doesn't mean that they're worth that....

**mikeinreco** · 08-31-2015, 12:20 PM

I try to get an average selling price and list mine just below that....if I put the item up for sale I want it gone because it has no use to me

LOL! I have news for you, the pigs get slaughtered too.

If you didn't care
What happened to me
And I didn't care
For you

We would
Zig-zag our way
Through the boredom and pain
Occasionally glancing up through the rain
Wondering which of the buggers to blame

And watching
For pigs on the wing

**matador** · 08-31-2015, 08:11 PM

We're quoting Pink Floyd now?

At 250#, I'm taking the ham. Whether the pig is a gilt, barrow, or a boar....

Regrettably one of their mediocre albums...

My flatmate and I were listening to 'Animals' on my very good quality HIFI, in the dark.

We are listening to the bit where you hear the pigs grunting and the dogs barking and the ducks quacking....

And I think, 'I have never heard ducks on this album before'.
So I look over to my flatmate and hes looking at me like 'I have never heard ducks on this before....'

And I look up, and on the outside window sill, on the second floor of a inner city two story building, theres a duck sitting there watching us......

Not as regrettably as I listened to Umma Gumma when I bought it.

Umma Gumma is an excellent album. After the success of Dark Side, Pink Floyd pushed put some fast commercial stuff to maintain their popularity. It worked, and make no mistake, the music was excellent, but the real Pink Floyd stuff was their earlier work. Some amazing stuff there. My opinion, of course...

Not enough musicality for me. Too trippy. I do like Meddle and I love the self titled David Gilmore album. For me, I like the Gilmore sound more than the pre Gilmore. I do like Dark and Wish and Animals. I like the Wal, although not my fav. Momentary was the concert I saw in Tampa Oct 30 '87.... The Best concert by far I have ever seen. I guess we will have to agree that we like Pink Floyd. Now, will you argree that the Led Zep pre Bonham dying is the best Zep/ Yeah, I thought so.
