i sold my original nintendo ds [the old one, not lite] w/ animal crossing ds, mariokart, mario 64, feel the magic, the metroid prime demo, nintedogs, urbz, and superstreet fighter for gba and including all the accessories like a gamestop case, the stylus, and charger on ebay for about 133 dollars plus tax and shipping which totaled to about 144 dollars and some change. Now that i think about it, i think i've made a mistake. It's too late to do anything about it now, but was this a good deal for me? Would it make sense to use the money that i made to go and buy a nintendo ds lite and pokemon diamond?

Eh, for $203 you did pretty decent actually. Considering it was the older model DS. But you still gave up countless gems in there. Animal Crossing, Mario Kart, etc... I dunno, maybe you should've kept the games if you were going to upgrade to a lite? You'll miss em one day.

yeah i think i shouldve sold it more in the 230 range or 250. There is no point in doing anything about it now since it sold. When i gave it to my friend to sell i wasnt even thinking about how much it was really worth since i was so in a rush just to get the money. but now that i've calmed down about the money, i actually thought about the deal lol. I've never sold anything on ebay before, ill think more about it next time i decide to sell something. i'm not really that disappointed because all i really want is pokemon i could live with out animal crossing since i have it for gamecube, all the games i want are games that i was going to buy. i couldve probably kept mariokart and mario 64 though...

You sold it for a fair price, I think. Used games lose their value pretty quick, so Nintendogs, the two Mario games, and Animal Crossing, which were worth $15-20 apiece, and the other games were only worth a few bucks each. A used DS, depending on the condition, can be sold for $80 or so--$100 if you're very lucky. You didn't lose any money there.

- Original DS $60-70

- Animal Crossing DS $20

- Mario Kart DS $20

- Mario 64 DS $10

- Feel the Magic $8

- Metroid Demo $5

- Nintendogs $15

- Urbz $10

- Super Street Fighter GBA $20

- Charger $5

- Case $5

TOTAL $188.00

Those are the kinds of estimates I would put for what you sold. I am probably underpricing Animal Crossing or Mario Kart, and I'm not sure if GBA Street Fighter is hard to find, but IMO you did good. It is far from anything to lose sleep over.
