How much would you give for this?

[Atari 5200]

A master system with box and inst. + 6 games.
games are shinobi, spy vs. spy, out run, double dragon, and some other common ones. How much at most would you give for it?

[wufners]

Assuming it comes with all the hookups and controllers, I'd give at most $30.

I'd feel more comfortable with $25.

I'd be happy with $20.

If I really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, wanted it--I might part with $35, but I'd be grumpy about it.

[Pantechnicon]

Wufners is right in the ballpark. I'd happily go up to to $35 only if the games are complete. No more than that, though.

Hey to the original poster I don't mean to intrude but I have a similar question and thought I put it here instead of creating a new one. My apologies in advance.

How much does a boxed Game Gear system (great shape) with AC adapter and these loose games, how much would you sell it for/does it go for?

-Power Rangers
-NBA Jam
-Streets of Rage
-Psychic World
-Arena
-Sonic 2 (boxed)
-Cluch Hitter
-Lucky Dime Caper (boxed)
-Shinobi

thanks in advance.

[Atari 5200]

well, damn. I thought 75.00 was a good deal. (sarcasm)

[Atari 5200]

Oh, sorry! I forgot to thank you. THANK YOU!!!!

So, I made a bad choice in buying mine for $40, loose with 2 controllers, a lightgun, 3D glasses and Outrun(loose)?

[Tan]

all depends on geographics, i usually see them around here for $15-20 cdn usually with a few games, CIB games go for 99 cents, SMS are quite common throughout canada though, lucky me 8-)

[Emuaust]

here in Australaia you would probably get $20AUD, being boxed
you may get up to $40AUD on EvilBay.com.au

[davepesc]

Here on the East coast USA, I haven't seen one in the wild in 15 years!

LOL

Local thrift has had Grand Prix, Outrun and Marksman/Trap Shooting on a shelf for $12 each for more than a year.

Not necessarily. The glasses run the value up a decent amount. Usually just the glasses can fetch around $20 or more.

[wufners]

Yeah, the glasses make that a worthwhile price. $35-$40 seems to be right in the right wheelhouse for that.

I spent $20 on a master system, hookups, controllers, and a couple of games (talked a flea market vendor down from $25.) Later I discovered he gave me genesis controllers, so after spending $4 at Goodwill for Master System controllers I ended up around the original $25. I'm happy enough with that, though $15 would have made me feel all warm and special inside.

Since then I've seen in the wild two loose systems for $3 and $8, controllers from $2-$5 and games from $1-$5. That's thriftstore/flea market prices from up here in Seattle. Make of it what you will.

$75 for sure seems too steep to me, but who am I to say? Someone else might really dig that price and be happy with it. I'm kind of cheap.

As for the Gamegear, I'm not sure. Loose Gears are around $10 at the thriftstores. A Gear with games, case, etc at the flea market can go from $20-$30. If the one you are talking about really is in great shape, has a nice box, and the AC adaptor i would peg it in the $30-$50 range.

But again, that's just a guess. My guesses are based on the prices I see while hunting and what my own cheap self would be willing to pay. Frankly, I don't care for the Gamegear enough to spend $30 or more for a boxed one, but I would acknwoledge that as fair. Not a come to DP and brag price, but fair.

If you can get all that for $25, then 8-)

[PDorr3]

To the OP, I would say around $30-35 would be right for the system and games, $40 max if your desperate.

For the console and (non complete) games. - $30

If the console is near mint and the games are all complete and in great shape. - $50

[EricRyan34]

ill give ya a buck for it

[Kamino]

If you like the game, keep it. If you don't, sell it. It's worth what someone will pay for it.

^ Wise words kthx

Exactly.

How many of us throwing around price estimates are really in the market? If we were, what's the assurance that we wouldn't lop $10 off our projected price? LOL

[Captain Wrong]

Nothing. I already got all that.

[Matt-El]

For 3d glasses, in the wild, $35 is acceptible, but on the collectors market,... http://www.digitpress.com/DP/cmf/game.cmf?gameid=18272
