I'll be going back to the States soon and I currently have a Korean Xbox. I was thinking of just selling it, but I've only had it for about 6months and don't think I could get that great of a return on it.

How much would you imagine it would cost to ship it to the States? It seems like it's easy enough to buy region free games theses days so it would not be a big deal to have in the states.

I know the Korean postal is relatively cheap compared to US postal.

Thanks for any tips.

Let me rephrase:

Has anyone on these forums shipped expensive electronics (computer, etc) from Korea to anywhere? How much was it?

Thanks for any input.

How big is an xbox? Not so big, I think. Squeeze it into your luggage when you fly.

Thanks for the tips guys! I think I'll just try and ship it back because I'll be carrying photo equipment as my main carry on and don't want to be bothered with the added weight.
