Help with selling my Wii

[casterofdreams]

Ok so I've come to a realization that the Wii I have must go. I don't use it and it pains me that I got it to begin with so I wasted my money on it. But the problem is that I devoted even more money into it when I started downloading games for it, both WiiWare and VC games. Can someone point me in the right direction on how I can make it work where the large amount of games I digitally bought can work in my favor?

And I already know about all those "downloading games are BAD FORM" story. I know all about it but it seemed fine for me at the time.

What are you asking really? How to transfer your downloaded games to another device? You can't, they're tied to that specific Wii.

Seeing as you've already bought the games, why not just download the roms and play them on an emulator on a PC or something? Legally suspect I know, but your only other choice to keep those games would be to rebuy the original carts/CDs + the original console for those games.

Or, if you want, you could factor the games into the sale. Because you tie points to the system and not, say, a credit card, you can list the games as a "bundle package" to recoup more of your losses.

Just factor your downloads into the asking price and you should find a buyer no problem

In theory I agree with this but, you might also realize that not everyone wants the same games and if priced too high, it could deter sales as well. OBO might work for you~

Yes, but what's the differences from people listing a console for sale with physical games that you might not want?

the problem with doing that is the Wii's market is very wide, and the only people that would care about VC games you downloaded, and perceived any added value is gamers, only a slice of the people looking to get into the Wii market.

Sorry for the late response. I guess I can make a list and factor in the cost. maybe 33% to 50% the cost of what I paid for it.

Difference being that you could sell those unwanted "physical" games after you bought a game+console lot. WW & VC aren't exactly very tangible.

All the VC games have monetary value... 1000 points=10 bucks... I've racked up 100 bucks in VC games, I asked a few people who I know like the games I've downloaded if they wanted to buy it (because I'd like to get that money back and just get a new wii w/out wasted money stored on the hard drive)... everyone seemed cool with the price, they just didn't have the cash. So I'm with anyone who says to just add it to the asking price and the buyer who's interested will probably appreciate the added value because he/she may have intentions of downloading those games anyway. A narrow market indeed, but a market for sure.
