The guide doesn't have my answer.
Should I buy a Sega Pico with Mickets Blast into the Past for 6 bucks? There's no box, just the systemn and game. It seems to be in good condition.

You naughty boy, you sent me to look on eBay for you.
Well, I have an answer: Go look at eBay and ask yourself; "is it worth me to get this?" Be sure to subtract out S&H ;)

Who needs eBay? The S&H alone on any system should pretty much hit $6. The question here is do you want a Pico If not, then ebay becomes relavent if you would resell it. Otherwise, if you would ever buy it for any price, I'd say $6 shold do it.

Mayve im out of the loop but is $6 really and issue for people? I spend more than that on lunch. If there was something I wanted for $6 bucks I would buy it. If i didnt like it I would give it, sell it or throw it away. ITS SIX FREEKIN BUCKS!

Yeah, same here, I spend 5.90 on lunch every day....so 6.00 is really nothing. If you want it to add to your collection, pick it up, if you don't....leave it. IT's nothing you will actually play.
And on that note, I'd buy it.

Man.
$6.00 was a teensy bit over the price of a pack of smokes when I lived up in Massachusetts.
Hell, it's considerably cheaper than a pack of smokes in NYC.
Buy it, you dolt.

Don't buy I mean for six bucks you could buy a month supply of GUM!

Who needs eBay?
Everybody who would otherwise post one of these "OMG!!!1 THEY PAYED ME $2 TO TAKE THEIR NES WAS IT A GOOD DEAL."
I wouldn't pay $6 for a Pico unless...well, I'd have to take a look at it. Whenever I drop money at the moment, that's money which is being taken directly away from my next Prize. If I was raking in $20 an hour, it wouldn't be such a big deal.
That's what's so dumb about these low-margin value estimate threads: It's as if we'd have any better insight than that person as to what they need.
The real problem is that everybody thinks that there's a market for their crap waiting on eBay, and that if they get prices RIGHT NOW it'll help them plan for the future.

Well, you can spell and I'm sure you know your colors...so unless you just want something to add into your collection, don't buy it. I can guaruntee you won't be playing it.
Otherwise, as a collection piece, I'd pick it up for $6
I wouldn't waste my money. You could use that 6 bucks for something much better

One Boxed/new/mint..paid $5.00 for with carts..
The second one that he uses (a lot) I paid $1.00 for with 3 carts.

It takes a Genny 2 AC adapter and any standard AV wires.

I went back to the thrift store to grab it...
But then I noticed that that whole writing pad on the bottom was gone.
I didn't get it after all.

Well I'm glad you didn't get it, because I can defenitely go against saying that 6 dollars is worth it. I paid a little "no big deal" 6 bucks on my boxed fairchild channel f system II and everyday I see it I want to smash it with a sledghammer, pour lighter fluid all over, light that thing up, then piss on the ashes and then take a dump on them.

$6.00 is a great deal for any system with a game. Definately pick up that Pico.
I would have picked up $6 for a Fairchild F system. atleast it has games...
