Ok, I did a trade with my friend for his copy of Final Fantasy Tactics. I traded him Ocarina of time and ice climbers for it. Was it a good trade?

Last week, I traded my Karcher 2400 gas-powered pressure washer (used 4-5 times, in very good condition) bought 6 years ago for a bronze DSi XL in hardly used condition (had original box with stuff still wrapped), R4i SDHC, 8GB SDHC card, 2GB SD card, and 5 DS games (Dragon Quest IV, Clash of Heroes and some other games).

The guy I traded with bought the DS a few weeks ago and found that he didn't play it much and felt he was too old (~40) for games. He put an ad on Craigslist asking for $260 and said that he wanted to buy a pressure washer. I sent him a feeler email stating that I had one in great condition and would he consider a trade.

Long story short, we both walked away satisfied. My wife gave me hell for getting another electronic gadget instead of getting cash. My kids love it and want to use the camera or play Flipnote Studio. I probably could have gotten $125-$150 for the pressure washer. I'm not exactly sure how much I paid for it originally. I think it was $249 or $299.

Are these the colors with the Micro-backlit screen or not? And if they are, are they good for this price?

Did your homework for you. Google: name wiki.

Look for model number AGS-101

I fail to see the difference in this thread, and the 'what's it worth' thread.

Threads merged.

i am going to be putting up most of my nes games - about 70 - a system, controller, hookups, etc. on ebay either tonight or tomorrow.

i used nintendo age's price guide they have in every monthly e-zine and calculated that all games add up to about 430 dollars. obviously, if i put this lot as a BIN at $430 nobody will most likely buy it.

what do you all think would be a fair BIN price that will get people interested without rapping me in ass?
if you took a shit, please put it back

Anywhere from 350-400 should be fine
