And is the GBA an SP?

Yeh, and that way I could buy something.

Won't postage be a tad expensive if you're selling the whole lot together?

Good luck with selling 'em.

I would also recommend putting a minimum reserve on your auction, otherwise you might get stuck unloading it all for $50 or something crazy like that.

Yeah, rofl, sorry. It just makes me angry when people say stuff like that. I mean, war , you feel like (I wonder if I\'ll die) and you feel ok about it. Then someone says "Dont Die" and your like (oh sh*t).

Remember EFX when you are in Iraq:
1. If anyone tries to kill you first, kill them back immediately.
2. You must live, you have an Xbox 360 to come home to if you buy it.
3. I might you see you there once I become a Navy SEAL in a few years.
4. PS3 already will blow Xbox 360 out of the water.
5. DON'T BUY THE XBOX 360 CORE SYSTEM. (Trust me, it is a rip-off.)
6. Watch your rear end, and use stealth, you won't die if they can't see you.

Good Luck!

ROFL.

My sister and her husband are serving in the Canadian army, and he's going to Israel for 6 months. It's sad, of course, but just be proud of what you're in air force for

Considering how much you've spent on your collection, I'd never sell it just to get a 360 - I honestly think you'd regret it within a week.

I never resell or part-exchange my games, I could'nt go and hand someone a game that I paid £30 for, then get £5 back in return, like...

You pay £33
You complete the game over the weekend so decide to trade it in.
They pay £5-10
So that someone else can pay £20 again for your pre-owned game, so in the end they make £50 or so on a £33 game.

I prefer to lend my 'completed's' to friends to save them from buying - like The Warriors, it's a great game if you consider 16 hours gameplay as value for money, so I'll lend it to a friend and save him £32. Now if everyone did that, like lent out the short-ass games then publishers would loose sales and have to put more content into their games. Now I could care less about The Warriors being short, because that was some great hours of gameplay and it's just a cool game that comes recommended - but if I had to save up all month for it then it better last me a freaken month.

Luckily for me though, I know the manager of our local GAME so I'll get a 30% discount .

Just had the thought of the century, what with me living in jolly old England I play a PAL PS2, I'm guessing all those games are NTSC. Fiddlesticks.
