Advice: selling items on ebay (PSP and games)

I have PSP 2000 model with seven games (megaman powered up, castlevania, luminouse 2, daxter, final fantasy tactics, prinny, wipeout pure) that I never play anymore. I've bought plenty of things on ebay, but never sold a damn thing on the service. I know Ebay takes a good chunk of your cash and people depend on paypal for transactions; anything else that i need to know? I have a 22 rating with a large star next to it (no negative feedback, always paid on time). Is this a decent enough rating/number to get started selling?

Would it be a better idea to try craigslist, or maybe a specific gaming forum with a "for sale" section (if so, which one)?

I was thinking of about $240 for the whole package (everything is in good to excellent condition, and most of the games have original boxes and manuals). Is this a realistic price? Would i get a better price/have a chance at selling everything separately?

I appreciate the help in advance.

    Although that's a great price for all that stuff, you might have better luck selling everything separately, you might even make more money that way!

    Definitely consider selling separately. Most likely you'll get more money that way, at least that's been my experience. The exception is with games that sell for very little. Bundling those games together often will get you at least as much as separate but most likely more.

    I have about 25 ratings on Ebay (100% positive) and starting selling things at about 10 ratings and it has gone well.

    This week I sold a game for $20 and Ebay is charging me $2.00 for the transaction, yeesh.. They won't charge you that much, like 240 x .10 = $24, but it will be a significant amount.

    Make sure to use real photos on your listings!

    I'd give CL a try before you try ebay. I've had a lot of success selling on CL, and it's free unlike the 3% plus listing fees plus 1-2% paypal fees if the buyer uses a credit card for using ebay.
