Just purchased this at a yard sale for $12. I pretty sure I made money but I'm lookin on Ebay and the prices are wild, anywhere from $50 to 200.

While I'm pretty certain that this is nowhere near the $200 I would like to tell more or less how much I'm seeing out of it....

The system itself has it's dings here and there. The remote is included and has batteries inside but I'm not sure if there was a receiver to go on the CD-I (I've never seen one in the wild before around here.) It includes it's original A/V cables (2 wires each, 2 prongs each one for video and one for audio.)
I have an AC Adaptor but it didn't fit :|

The games are: Compton's Interactive Encyclopedia / Mother Goose Rhymes to Color has foldable poster inside) / Lords of the Rising Sun/ A Visit to Sesame Street Numbers / Richard Scarry's Busiest Neighborhood Disc Ever!

Any help would be appreciated!

Have you tried it out yet? The 220 model tends to have issues opening and closing the CD tray, if I remember correctly (although I'm not anywhere close to being a CD-i expert).

Does it have the digital video card? That will make a large impact on price.

Well I haven't tried it out yet because I bought it with the wrong A/C Adaptor.

Where can I tell about the digital video card?

There will be a slot (probably in the back) that the digital video card will insert into. It's easy to tell because it is a large board, and either it is there or it isn't.
