Is it even worth putting this stuff on eBay?

[Captain Wrong]

OK, I got a mixed batch of stuff I need to clear out of the house. I know the market is shit right now, but I was just wondering if someone who watches things closer than I could tell me in short if I'm going to be wasting my time trying to unload this stuff on eBay:

Boxed 2600 4 switch

Boxed 5200 4 port w/homemade power box and 3 controllers in typical shape
+ about 20 loose commons mostly with instructions

Boxed Sega CD 2 plus about a dozen commonish games

Virtual Boy with box and three games

NES toaster with about 30+ games (including Qix and Mega Man 6, those are the only rare-ish games there.)

I *think* that's it. Again, I'm not expecting a specific price (I know I didn't give much info.) Just am I going to get anything for this stuff or should I gift it to the teen around the corner?

[Cinder6]

It'll definitely sell. In fact, I'd be interested in the 2600, myself (unfortunately, don't have the money for it now).

the boxed virtual boy should do alright

[Gapporin]

I'd sell them all. Boxed consoles usually do pretty good, plus you have games with most of them, so that oughta raise up the price a little.

hold onto them for 3 months. Sell them around mid November.

I agree, do you know how many peoples' wives will end up buying thier husband that Atari that they used to have when they were kids. I still hear people at the flea markets talking like "oh I want an atari again, I want pitfall, pacman, kaboom, and all those other ones."

there is still a market for systems bundled with common games. The mass of the market know the common games, so those are the ones they'll want to buy.

On ebay, that I had cleaned up, polished motherboard connectors, with two games (Bandai Golf and Mario/DH)-which I also took apart and polished the contacts, one controller, RF adapter and power cable for $50. And the strange thing was- I started it out at .99 with no reserve and 10 shipping. On the other hand I sold another system with 2 common games, game genie, cables, and controller for 28.00- so go figure. The auctions ended with 20 minutes of each other. I advertised both as Non-Blinking units, and detailed the work I had done on them. Guess someone got caught up in the heat of bidding.

So what I'm saying... yeah it's worth it. Include games and they go for more. I only paid 3.00 for the nintendo at goodwill.

The virtual boy should do pretty well.
