@all
I recently moved to the United States and no longer have any use for my European games (PAL). I have the following GameCube games for sale (all brand new!) - some never played or even opened:

- Final Fantasy (Crystal Chronicles)
- Luigi's Mansion
- Ghost Recon
- Madden 2004
- Prince of Persia
- EGGO Mania
- Viewtiful Joe
- Minority Report
- Wave Race : Blue Storm
- Worms Blast
- ZAPPER
- Freedom Fighters
- Rogue Leader
- Return of the King
- Dark Alliance
- Defender
- Eternal Darkness
- Hitman 2
- Frontline
- Harvest Moon
- Metroid Prime
- Legend of Zelda Collectors Edition
- Zelda : Wind Waker
- Super Monkey Ball 2

I sell these 5 at a time. So pick 5 and contact me on hans.olsen@sbcglobal.net to arrange shipment etc. Price $25 per game.

So people have to spend a minimum of $125 - Good luck! Lower the price if you're going to force people to buy 5.

- Final Fantasy (Crystal Chronicles) (Got)
- Luigi's Mansion (Got)
- Ghost Recon (Got)
- Madden 2004 (Don't want)
- Prince of Persia (Got)
- EGGO Mania (Never Heard of it)
- Viewtiful Joe (Got)
- Minority Report (They made a game of it?!)
- Wave Race : Blue Storm (Traded it in)
- Worms Blast (Don't want)
- ZAPPER (Never Heard of it)
- Freedom Fighters (Got the PC version)
- Rogue Leader (Maybe)
- Return of the King (Traded it in)
- Dark Alliance (Got)
- Defender (Don't want)
- Eternal Darkness (Got)
- Hitman 2 (Got)
- Frontline (Got)
- Harvest Moon (Got)
- Metroid Prime (Got)
- Legend of Zelda Collectors Edition (Got with Wind Waker)
- Zelda : Wind Waker (Got)
- Super Monkey Ball 2 (Got)

i should probably buy less games.. this said, you know you can actually use your GC games in your GC. Wind Waker for example only comes in NTSC format; which was a pain until i bought a new TV to run it.

You'll find that with alot of games, they'll run fine on your GC provided you change the power supply. The GC itself is designed to run on any power supply just change it for a US one.
Nintendo are well aware alot of thier market business comes from Import/Export from Japan so they made sure people could do it easily.

I'm waiting for Zoids Vs3 comes out

@Raven
Thanks a million for your tips. But I have no problem actually playing the games! I have a EURO/US Power Adapter and a PAL/NTSC Television so nothing prevents me from playing the games! I am into X-Box now, and all my other gear such as my Euro Cube + all the games above are just gathering dust. Sad, Really.

Games are now on sale on EBay and hopefully I am lucky and someone will pick them all up "in 1 go"

don't call it a Euro Cube that's just silly, call it a PAL GC because that's what it is.

I don't see how anyone can just be 'into' another console; I mean, there are great games for each console.

Beyond Good & Evil & Prince of Persia both are best played on the GC; Graphically it astounds and I can only recall a single slow down experienced on it. (which was in one of the most unlikely of games)

If your games are boring then get new ones I've got a pretty huge selection for the GC simply because I can generally get 2 GC games for each X-Box or PS2 release. I tend to wait until they go down in price before I get them.

Personally I'd suggest getting a copy of Super Smash Bros Melee, or Soul Calibre; some extra controllers and some mates

I doubt you could get even $100 for all of them. For $500, I usually see collections of about 75 games.

Bleh, I've just given up on trying to think up signatures.

^_^ You'll just have to aim lower next time You may get more money selling em one at a time... see how much the individual games are selling for and then multiply that by how many games you have.. compensating for crappy to good game ratio.. you'd have a good estimate..

Otherwise... the best bet may just be to start bidding at 1 dollar... and hope that it takes off That's a good solution if you could care less how much money you get back..

yeah, I could go for 300$ for all the games and the cube, controller and memory card. Anything below that and I might as well just take my cube apart with a screwdriver just for the fun of it

People also like to see a picture of the games to ensure them that you do indeed have the games, and that they are in a good condition.
