Posted May 20, 2006 I dunno what to do people. I wanna save up for a Wii and DS Lite but I'm thinking of selling my GC as I'm really low on cash at the mo. If you think about it, the last 2 games that I would get for GC are super paper mario and Zelda. With Paper Mario I could play that on Wii as its backward compatible and then I could get the Wii version of Zelda.....so I don't think I'm really losing out on anything by selling my GC off. What's your thoughts on the situation?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 20, 2006 As the Cube has collector's value, I would keep it but if it comes between you and getting a Wii, sell it. Just remember that you might miss the monkey sounds on start up when you hold Z... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 20, 2006 Well I like to keep all my consoles, just to have them in my collection etc. and also if I was to sell my GC its like selling all my great memories when I bought the console etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 20, 2006 I can see your point baboo, but its not worth it, you will get like £20 or something thats it, i bought a perfect condition 2nd hand gamecube form my local store with a offical 256 memory card for £25. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 20, 2006 I'd never sell any of my consoles for the same reason as Stocka,got so many happy memories. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 20, 2006 Erm.... who exactly in their right mind would buy a Cube for little over £20 right now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 20, 2006 My friend just sold his Gamecube with 14 games for £90 (going towards a Wii). I however will never sell my consoles even if I never play with them again I still feel better that they are in my room rather than in someone elses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 20, 2006 I never sell consoles. Selling of consoles is eeevvviiil. I have a nice little collection. ^_^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 20, 2006 Not worth it, at least not until Wii is out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 21, 2006 Gamestation and Game will give you about 50p for a cube. Not really, but the money they will give you will be crap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 21, 2006 You could always use it as a paper-press. It would be one cool paper-press. Think about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just remember that you might miss the monkey sounds on start up when you hold Z... Holy crap! I've had the thing for a few years and had no idea about that. I wouldn't sell my 'cube for two reasons: 1. Get fuck all for it 2. They're just nice things to keep Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 21, 2006 Not worth selling, give it away (to a charity, friend, family or hospital) with games and controllers. Or keep it just to have a second Cube in another room for retro's sake. We have a GameCube set up in a car at the moment.. it's hilarious. You play on my mates .mp4 player, plug the system in on the ash tray. Such the crash waiting to happen. Smash Bros. whilst bombing around is funny though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 21, 2006 I wouldn't sell mine but I don't like selling my consoles. Like people have mentioned you wouldn't get much for it anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 21, 2006 I always regret it once I've sold a console. I was so tempted to sell my Dreamcast so I can definitely afford a DS but I know I'll only miss having Shenmue, so I've decided to keep it, even if it is collecting dust under my desk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 22, 2006 Fact is like many have said you wont get very much for it. Its not like the Wii is out this week or anything there is still plenty time to save up for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 22, 2006 I only sell if they are bust or i'm desperate for money. I sold my old cube because it broke, Gamestation never tested it and i got another cube for a small price of £20 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
