Of these 12 CD-I games, six are sealed, those being Connect Four, Dark Castle, Escape From CyberCity, Laser Lords, Mystic Midway, and Zombie Dinos. The others are complete and in near-perfect shape. I believe all of the items were new until fairly recently. Fortunately atleast a few remained that way. As for the price of the CD-I games, I'm not really sure what to ask. Feel free to send offers, though.

CD-I bundle is SOLD!

[aramis1976]

pm sent.

[KingofGames]

Anyone else interested? I haven't heard back from aramis.

[aramis1976]

I'm still interested!
The forum was done for a bit there, and I'd forgotten about these.
I'll paypal as soon as I've confirmation that they're still available.

[KingofGames]

Great! I just PM'ed you. They're all yours.

[Edmond Dantes]

So are these already sold? I was kind of interested in Worlds of Ultima: Martian Dreams.

[KingofGames]

Only the CD-I games are spoken for.

[portnoyd]

Honestly, take those PC games to eBay. I can imagine some of the mad loot you'll bring in with a sealed Fallout 1 and sealed System Shock 1.

[KingofGames]

Sorry, I should probably refine my description. The first image is the only one containing sealed games. All of the others are used but complete and range in condition from good to mint.

[portnoyd]

Still, you will almost certainly get more money on eBay than you will here, sealed or not. Don't short yourself - PC collectors are pretty rabid and you've given the members here ample time to make you an offer. You may want to talk to Kitsune Sniper as he finds complete PC games and sells them all the time.

[KingofGames]

Thanks for the advice. I actually just posted these items last night around midnight. I always like to check on various gaming websites before resorting to Ebay on big ticket items, as I save a good 9%-15% on fees alone. That gives me a lot of leeway with pricing. In any case, I will likely move them to Ebay this weekend if I can't sell anything.

[KingofGames]

Added link to an album with detailed pictures of some of the higher end items.

[Kitsune Sniper]

I'm going to echo portnoyd's suggestion. Take these to eBay. I sold a sealed copy of Ultima Underworld II for over $100 there last year.

You're sitting on a goldmine right there.

[KingofGames]

Awesome! I figured it was a good purchase, but I couldn't gauge the exact value. I imagine I want to fix list these items and avoid auctions, yeah? I'm a little concerned about exposure. I'm sure they are sought after, but I want to make sure those who are interested in them are aware they are for sale.

[Kitsune Sniper]

I actually prefer to sell games like these in auctions. These sell VERY WELL, especially if you ship to Europe.

It's a huge gamble, though.

[KingofGames]

Well, again, thanks for your insight. Once I make a good chunk of my investment back, I may resort to auctions. I sold off a complete copy of Zak McKracken last month. Sure enough, it went to a European. They certainly seem rabid about their classic PC games.

[The Joe Man]

Chiming in that most of my recent old PC Game sales are going overseas. Russia, Germany, even Portugal.

If it helps with your pricing, I sold my copy of UWII for $90, Ultima Collection for $75, and the CD-ROM version of System Shock for $65 (all mint/complete).

Good luck on your sale!

[KingofGames]

Holy hell, those prices are for complete copies? That's unbelievable...
As for shipping those items, what method did you use? That's the biggest issue I've run into lately. I am willing to ship lower-valued items through First Class mail, but something of this caliber needs to be protected. Express Mail seems to be the only service that offers quick delivery with confirmation, but it's so damn expensive.

[Kitsune Sniper]

Europeans have Euros. They can afford it. Usually. :P

[The Joe Man]

I always use USPS Priority. If someone buys around $100 or a good amount of stuff, I usually just cover the shipping. I can usually fit 3 big box games in the Medium USPS box, and that runs about $12 (w/tracking #) in the US. Box is layered with crumpled up newspaper, games gently lay on top, then pack any open spots with more crumpled newspaper. Tape the shit outta the box seams and that thing is secure and solid.

Overseas shipping runs a shitload more though ($30-$45).

[KingofGames]

Yeah, shipping in the US is fairly reasonable. Overseas shipping is a different beast entirely. Oh well, I'm not stressing it too much. I went ahead and fix listed them on Ebay, just to get some exposure. I already have an offer on System Shock that I will likely bite on unless someone uses the BIN between now and the offer ending.

[jeffg]

where is your auction link?

[KingofGames]

You can view my items here: http://shop.ebay.com/reaperbsg/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686

I know the prices seem outlandish, but based on what others have mentioned here about the prices of their items, I think I can pull in something close to the asking prices. Still, I am open to offers and certainly willing to offer a substantial discount if multiple items are purchased.

[Dark_Sol]

U should have listed it at 0.99 full run if you really want to sell this stuff fast and not let it sit forever waiting for a right nerd to send ridiculous offers.

[KingofGames]

Funny you should say that. I'm pleased to announce that System Shock is sold ($50 on Ebay). Also, Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics have just been sold ($470 on Ebay). Guess the right nerds were browsing Ebay tonight.

[Bojay1997]

That's actually quite shocking to me, well not the System Shock, but the Fallout group. That Fallout wasn't even a US original release version, but rather a European re-release and the Fallout 2 was in very rough shape. I have literally never seen a sealed first run Fallout and Fallout 2 go for more than $150 and $100 respectively in mint shape and that's actually a series I watched for almost the entirety of 2010 as I was looking to add both to my collection which I finally did two months ago. Congratulations.

[Kitsune Sniper]

Isn't it tax return time or something?

Nerds have a lot of money on their hands right now. :P

[KingofGames]

Are you referring to used copies? I sold a mint, complete first-run copy of Fallout for $140 plus shipping last month. I noticed this version was a European release and noted as much in the listing, but he didn't seem to mind.

[The Joe Man]

How much did you get for Tactics, if you don't mind me asking?

[KingofGames]

$100. I'm quite satisfied!

[Bojay1997]

Are you referring to used copies? I sold a mint, complete first-run copy of Fallout for $140 plus shipping last month. I noticed this version was a European release and noted as much in the listing, but he didn't seem to mind.

No, factory sealed which is what I collect. I'm not saying you couldn't have gotten $140 for Fallout as you apparently did, but it just goes to show that unsophisticated buyers will pay too much for not very hard to find stuff. All it takes is a little patience and the willingness to look around to get really pristine stuff for a great price.

[The Joe Man]

Damn dude, good job! Wish my stuff was selling that well.

[KingofGames]

Bojay, tell me about it. The last three copies of Fallout complete in the large box have gone for $35-$60. I also sold a complete copy of American McGee's Alice for the Mac last month. Got $100 for that guy. PC games have been electric for me. I just sold Ultima VII: Forge of Virtue for $150 plus shipping. I can't believe how well and how quickly these items have sold. I've already multiplied my initial cost.

[Dark_Sol]

You are lucky. Oh yes and price for Fallouts was fucking ridiculous. It was the "right" nerd indeed. haha
