Any idea how much this stuff is worth?
Virtual Boy system (loose - no visor, no stand, no ac adapter)
VB controller
Vertical Force (R4)
Probably try to unload it on eBay or here. If anyone is interested, let me know. Thanks.

I've been out of the VB scene for a couple years but I doubt it's changed that much, so I'll try and held.
The VB unity with no visor, no stand and no AC adapter is, well, kind of worthless. Without a stand it's almost completely useless, an without a visor I can't fathom why someone would bother with it. I could see maybe $10 at most?
The controller is somewhat of a decent resell, there's a good amount of people out there who only have the unit, or broken controllers. Because the VB only used the official controller people really only have one option. So actually you can typically run a controller for $15, which isn't bad at all.
Vertical Force has always been pretty common, make sure it's the NTSC version, and if they are cart only you could probably run $5 for each. If they are complete then maybe $9-14 each.
Sadly the US releases within the Virtual Boy software/hardware really isn't worth much, most of the sought after stuff is all from Japan.

Mario Clash is worth a little more, but again would help with manual and box.
VB US releases to look for are:
- Nesters Funky Bowling
- Jack Bros.
- 3D Tetris
- Water World

I sold a bare headset and controller in about 3 minutes on NA for $30+shipping.

Mine was bought a few years ago at the store in great, working condition but a worn box for $30 with Mario Tennis. Purchased a complete, in the box NA release of Vertical Force at the same store a few months after for $5 - awesome shooter too. Wario Land and manual set me back $5 too if I recall correctly. The store I bought all of these from is a local classic game store with fair prices and would expect that to be a fair price still.
