i used nintendo age's price guide they have in every monthly e-zine and calculated that all games add up to about 430 dollars. obviously, if i put this lot as a BIN at $430 nobody will most likely buy it.

what do you all think would be a fair BIN price that will get people interested without rapping me in ass?

Anywhere from 350-400 should be fine


With a big bundle like that< you'd be lucky to get half value. It might be a pain in your ass, but you'll probably net at least $100 more if you break everything up.

I'd suggest a hybrid strategy. Lump together a bunch of not so valuable games into several bundles and then part out the pricey ones in individual auctions. You'll probably get the best price/time payoff that way.

you're right. but i think i might first post it as a BIN with a price on the higher side, but not 430 high, and hope some kid who wants to jump on the retro game collecting band wagon gets excited about 70 games and pulls the trigger.

if that doesn't work, i will break it up most likely.
if you took a shit, please put it back

Being new to the Turbografx and not knowing much of anything about it, are any of these games rare, or even the CD attachment? I know that the Express itself can run around ~35 at a local gamestore, and 65 if it's boxed. Also, are any of these games good? I honestly have never even seen a single one of these games or systems, so I don't know how to gauge rarity based on everything else. I don't even know what one would consider a decent offer.

Need some advice
Mega man legends 2 for $35 in near mint condition (the case has a little crack on the front, but the artwork, manual and game are perfect, and I can replace the case).
I only have it at this price because of a second chance offer on ebay, and it's the only time I've seen it for this little.

I know the going rate for that game is $45, but I'm worried the price might go up soon, and this game keeps getting harder to come by in good condition at a decent price. Should I buy it?

Sounds like you've already answered your question, and just need one last nudge.

If you're satisfied with the condition, go for it. This is definitely a fluke, since you got it for approximately 20% below market price.

A somewhat near PnT is selling it for $19.99. I was thinking of getting it but they had two copies so I decieded to wait. They have Tron Bonne but they are selling that one for $52.99.

Red boxed super mario kart snes pal

Post by kierakurtis »

Hi. Does anybody have any ideas how much a red boxed super mario kart pal is worth?
Also what is the difference between the blue and red box versions (apart from the colour!!) in the uk?
Cheers.

You really didn't have to ask the same question twice, in two different forums. It's not as if some one would browse the Nintendo section and not the Hacks and Mods section.

Besides, it wasn't hard to find the answer in a google...

In Europe, what would you say is a fair price for a modded Xbox with 2 controllers and hook-ups? I guess it depends a bit on condition, size of hard drive and so on. Is 30 Euros the right ballpark though?

I checked finished deals on ebay.es and it seemed to be around that, but maybe someone in the forum has been "on the market" for buying or selling one and would know better.

Curious, is a mint (and boy do I mean mint) CIB Sega CD model 2 worth $125?

I don't think I'll buy it either way but I'm curious.
