What do you sell an original Xbox for?

A friend of mine recently expressed interest in taking my old Xbox off my hands, since I'm probably never going to use it again, despite my own strenuous objections to the contrary. (His most recent console is a GameCube.) So I figure I might as well find out what a fair deal is (then proceed to sell it at half that anyway, because I'm just like that). So here's what I've got:
- One Halo LE green Xbox. Here in Canada, though, it came with ESPN NHL Hockey (at least at Future Shop), which I sold to EB long ago.
- One matching green controller. I'd bought a spare at the time, but after using it once or twice, it seems to have vanished into the ether.
- One DVD remote with receiver. Hey, I used my Xbox as a DVD player one winter after season one of Doctor Who (great season or greatest season?) came out.
- All my saves, for whatever that's worth. They can delete them if they'd like, or take advantage of my mediocrity to get a head start.
- 007: Everything or Nothing, with its embryonic Achievements in the form of Bond Moments, and which I really should've spent more time with
- Burnout 3: Takedown, the best Burnout game (fuck Paradise)
- The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay, which I almost finished but got stuck on coming back from the caves.
- Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge, which I deeply regret not finishing and would very much like to see on Xbox Originals at some point.
- The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, Game of the Year Edition, which I think comes with some sort of built-in expansion. I dunno, I played an hour, forgot to save, died, and gave up.
- Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy
- Max Payne
- NHL 2K5 and 2K6: 2K5 caused me to sell 2K4, while 2K6...eh, didn't. Dunno why, but I could never get 2K6 to "feel" right.
- Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, which I gave up on early on because of the shitty combat.
- Project Gotham Racing 2
- Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy, another game I almost finished but somehow neglected.
- Second Sight, Psi-Ops's "special" cousin.
- Soul Calibur II
- Super Monkey Ball Deluxe, which was fun for about an hour before I realized I'd had my fill of SMB playing the first two games on this friend's 'Cube.
So the console, controller, remote, saves, and 15 games, most of them quality. My first thought was $100 for the lot of it.
