Because of the used games market, places like GameStop will sell the current generation of video games (ps3, xbox 360, nintendo wii) for a couple of dollars.
Now, GameStop only carries the current and next generation of video games. Older generations have a market online. Since the market (supply) is much more limited, the price can be driven up to an extent.
If you have a little free time and want to check how much your stuff is worth, you can look up the prices for used games on Amazon or Ebay.
After a little research, I found the fair market value of my collection of stuff.
These prices are current as of 5/2/2014.

| samurai champloo box set | $45 |

| metalocalypse season 2 | $8 |
| crash team racing | $8 |
| Kingdom Hearts | $7.50 |

Total fair market value $651.
Of course, $651 is the gross amount. Extra charges will be incurred for shipping this stuff to your customers.
It is also uncertain when you will get a buyer for all your stuff.
If you are in a hurry to get rid of your stuff or just really don't want it, you can lower the price in hopes for a faster sell.
Conversely, if you really like your stuff and are okay with holding it for a long time, you can hold out for a higher sell price.
