I want to sell my Xbox-360 Elite, and everything with it. It's perfectly good and I only played it like 10 times ever since I got it, even the sticker on it is perfectly on it. No scratches whatsoever, and 110 free space of hard drive Only things are the oily finger stains on it from chicken . But I could clean that off How much do you think I could sell it at Game-stop? I'm thinking at least 200$?, and I'll include two game with it. Lego-Batman and Pure (Racing game). -Thanks a lot.

Regardless, the price drops like a dead-weight. A beat-up scratched Xbox 360 will still go for the same price as one as new as yours. One last note: Don't sell to Gamestop. They're degenerate theiving swindlers who only care about profit and whose employees know nothing about gaming, or sales for that matter. In other words, you'll get ripped off.

I wouldn't advise selling your 360 to Gamestop, as you could get more for it on Craigslist. They gave me 80 dollars for my unfixable 360. Not sure how much they give for a working one. To the ignorant poster above. If you don't know, Gamestop is a COMPANY. They need money to stay alive. If they give people retail value, they wouldn't be able to stay alive. Look at pawn stores, they go about 50% below retail. Gamestop is amazing.

Case-in-point, my copy of Mass Effect 2 would have sold for 25$ at Gamestop, but luckily I sold it for 40$ at Futureshop. My copy of Bad Company 2 would have sold for 32$ at Gamestop but I sold it instead, again at Futureshop, and raked in 45$. Also sold a used Xbox 360 Arcade for 120$ on Ebay (Gamestop offered a hundred bucks for it).

try selling on craigslist, you should be able to get 250 out of it. Gamestop will rip you off. When you do the meet up, bring a burner with you.

There's this place like 10miles away from me that sells the HDDs 75% of the price it come with the game, like the 120HDD would be 250$, yea it's a rip off lol, but do you think I can sell it to them for that price? Really don't know about this retail, business stuff

While it can be shady, just have an adult with you at all times, or go to a very high-traffic area(human traffic) if you can't get your parents to go with you.

Seeing as they just announced a brand new Xbox 360 Slim version today. I wouldn't count on getting much for it.

Selling to a "company" you will get 90-120$ if you are lucky and the system is completely mint etc. 5$ for each game

Don't sell it to gamestop. You could get a much better deal on ebay. @wittgenstein EB games is much worse than gamestop.
