Have a look on here: www.ebay.co.uk
Some fetch better money, same with games....take a bit of time and do research as certain ones are now rare and collectable.
Don't do what many do and just give them away for next to nothing.

miss my old xbox 1. that startup animation, so futuristic 
Playing them on my LCD TV, using RGB Scart.
Highly recommend these guys for all your cabling needs.

Old consoles look rubbish on an LCD, they don't have scan lines for start.
You need some sort of scan line generator to make it look half decent.

I've got most of them, but that's quite impressive. Nice mate.

My wee unit!
Almost complete... I fancy a MegaCD, more MD games and more DC games

Cool looking PS2 you go there.
you need to tone down that Gamecube though.
Doesn't seem to be anything special, apart from silver! Its a bog standard scph 50004.
I like the gamecube! It's interesting! Jap originally called spiced orange
Found it at a car boot sale!

You can use XBConnect to play Project Gotham Racing 2 multiplayer, if it's still running.
Edit. Looks like their forum is hacked, though.

One of the last places you'd actually buy from, but iv'e never seen so many development, test, and de bugging consoles in one place.
Everything, snes, n64, Gameboy, playstation/2, gamecube(dolphin) dreamcast, 3do, amiga/cd32, xbox, cdi, Amstrad, and a weird, PSY-Q Playstation Development System
SUPER RARE Development system created by Psygnosis .
Either you want this stuff because you know what you're doing with it, or you want some of the rarest kit iv'e ever seen...
Incredible collection.

People want ridiculous prices for their retro consoles and games and for the condition they keep them in as well!!!
You will see less and less posts which is a damn shame, I can't remember the last time I bought a bargain?

I agree.
Sadly charity shops now base their prices off Ebay, which is really not what charity shops are all about!
I paid £25 for my Final Fight in good nick...
