The following items have been in my trade box for what feels like forever. I've toted them to NAVA, listed them here and on other forums, and even on craigslist where I have only ever got minimal interest. Please help set me straight if my prices are out of line and maybe explain why they are. None of my prices were going to win 'deal of the year' awards, but all were what I figured were fair based on what was being offered.
Loose Turbo Express portable that is in fantastic condition with perfect sound, and no dead pixels. Along with that I have the following complete titles:
Keith Courage, Sinistron, Final Lap Twin, Victory Run, Cyber Core.
And the then loose titles:
Vigilante, Veigues Tactical Gladiator.
In the past I've offered it up for $200 and then later for $175. Maybe my frame of reference is warped but I thought $175 was extremely fair for what I was offering. That was based on an assumption of $100 for the system itself and then $10/ea for the games. I know when I was collecting this stuff finding TG-16 (especially complete) for less than $10 was rare and Cyber Core and Sinistron are both good games worth more than that. Clearly the lack of interest I've had tells me that I'm still too high. I know packages tend to get less interest themselves but my rationalization for keeping it together is once I sell the express itself, then I'm stuck with TG-16 games, with nothing to play them on and it will take me even longer to get rid of those if at all.

Sega Genesis Prototype for Joe Montana Sport Talk FB II. - Granted it's a sports title but it contains 8 x 1Mb EPROMs and is about 8 inches tall which is not as common as some other protos. I though genesis protos were around $50 for common games and then up for better titles. I've threatened to pull the EPROMs and them use for other projects in past, and I'm really beginning to think that might be the best use for this.

Atari Lynx Boxed System, Boxed Battery Pack, Large Case, Boxed Sunvisor/screen guard Games: (all boxed unless noted)
Bill and Ted's, Chip's Challenge, Crystal Mines II, Dirty Larry, Gauntlet (loose), Hydra, Ishido, Jimmy Connors Tennis, Klax, Kung Food, Malibu Bikini Volleyball, Pinball Jam, Pit Fighter, Qix (loose), Rampart, Shadow of the Beast, Shanghai, Slime World (loose), Steel Talons, Super Skweek, Toki, Tournament Cyberball, and XYBOTS. I had this priced at $175 which again I though was fair considering the majority of the stuff is boxed and complete.
