This is a private deal with a local seller. I was offered the following items and I want to get a quote from other collector's on what you think these items are worth, or in better terminology, how much I should be willing to pay for them..

1) Bandai Fitness Pad (NES) - this is the harder-to-find power pad from Bandai and is not the one that Nintendo made. I was offered one with some small tears in one side and it does not include box or manual.

2) Caltron 6-in-1 - cart only in good condition, light wear

3) empty box for Myriad 6-in-1 - box only, shows wear, sort of crushed

So, this is all part of a bigger deal for 800 dollars that includes a lot of games and accessories I need, but I need to determine how much these 3 items are actually worth since they are carrying the weight of the deal.

Thanks for any and all help!

I would say those 3 items are worth rougly $300 at the very most!
The Caltron is worth the most at around $200-250, the FFF pad is worth around $25-30, and the Myriad box is worth around $20-50.
I would give higher values for the FFF pad and the Myriad box, but if they are in less than good condition, their price goes down drastically.

Does the Fitness Pad include the copy of Athletic World that originally came with it? That would tend to jack the price up on it some (it would have the name Bandai on it in the upper right (?) corner, I believe).

I didn't ask the seller this, I doubt it, so for the time let's assume it's the bandai pad alone, without the special cart.

The pad alone typically gets $60 - $80 on ebay and shows up about 2x a year.

As for the original version Athletic World ... that's not as hard to find as everyone here seems to think. I've even heard some quote it as hard to find as Stadium Events. It that's the case, I'm the luckiest collector ever b/c I have 3 copies of the Bandai FFF version in my basement right now.

The Caltron price seems about right, but the Myriad box seems underpriced. I would check with canadianzombie or qixmaster about the value of the box.
