DP's Official Digital Antique Roadshow Thread (through April 07)

[Sniderman]

Because of the recent influx of price-checks and value-requests, we felt that, many times, questioners weren't getting the answers they needed because their posts were buried or pushed off the forum before someone with the answers found their request. Well, with this new DP Antiques Roadshow thread, all of those "floating" value checks can be found in one convenient area.

Post here to request a price check on that new game you found; to check on the value of some bizarre nicknack; or to request help in assessing the value of your collection (or parts of it).

And if you have an inkling of game values, stop in and assist these folks with your knowledge! No more lost price checks! And the folks-in-the-know will know where to go!

(Of course, price checks posted outside of this thread will be moved, locked, and/or deleted, just to keep things tidy.)

Heh .. maybe I can retire .. not !

Parker Bros proto VIC20 QBERT.
regular Parker Bros black case no labels, small sticker over screw cover saying version 1.0. EEPROMs inside

[mills]

well I can tell you that this qbert cart is quite extravagant. It was made by a french desiger pre WWII era. I would place its value at about 14,000 at auction.



...sorry...had to do it.

Three things. First thing is
a gem mint white game gear official japanese bundle complete with case, tv tuner. Everything is in great shape and it was sold as a bundle

Second thing is
a pretty good condition (considering the age and the item) of a stand up original gameboy display demo unit with a NFR cart of the original tetris. This is the unit that was shaped like the gameboy with a monitor built inside the casing and the gameboy was locked in. (managed to get this from a local game store for an incredible deal few months ago

third thing is a bit odd, probably not worth much and I have no idea where it is from. It is 2 page paper "ad" advertising for earthbound for the SNES. It appears it may have been mailed out specifically to people signed up for some sort of list (perhaps through nintendo power). It also has a coupon for $10 off earthbound attached to the second page (coupon is untouched, still attacked). Paper is in great shape, unfolded and no tears. it appears it was not inside a magazine or anything ever, but as stated just a 2 page pamphlet mailed out.

thanks for any help

Hmmn,.. I was wondering that was this good deal,
Phantasy Star Online CiB Pal (I think it inclued that Sonic Adventure 2 demo -.-)
and Dreamkey 3.0 NiB Pal for 12 € (including shipping).

Love, Captain Qb.

I wouldlike someone to tell me how much a Top Loading NES with a Dogbone controller is worth.

[RadiantSvgun]

I have a few questions.
Lufia II cart only 49.99
Final Fantasy III cart only- 49.99
Mega Man 7 cart only -49.99
Gunstar heroes cart only- 59.99
Thats what the store is selling them for. Should I continue to look around? That seems high for loose carts.

In stores I've seen the average price to be around 59.99 to 79.99. And the 79.99 was with 2 dogbones and a game.

[Doonzmore]

Definately pass on the Gunstar Heroes. I picked up a complete copy for 20 at a local gamestore that uses the Digitpress rarity guide to base all there retro stuff on.

[raregamergirl]

Keep looking on all those carts. If you REALLY want Lufia 2, that is not the worst price ever, but by no means is it a good price. Perhaps, as they have these games overpriced, that they will give high trade in and try trading some items in towards them. Do not pay that much cash for any of those though, except, as stated, possibly Lufia 2 (worth less than $40 cart only, but is somewhat harder to find).

I wouldlike someone to tell me how much a Top Loading NES with a Dogbone controller is worth.

About $70-$80 without shipping.

I have a few questions.
Lufia II cart only 49.99
Final Fantasy III cart only- 49.99
Mega Man 7 cart only -49.99
Gunstar heroes cart only- 59.99

Pass on them all. Way overmarked. I also find it funny that they price a genny game higher than the snes games. I rarely ever see that.

Anyway, I'll try to check the thread for Nintendo related games/systems since thats what I know best.

[rbudrick]

I reccomend that for very rare items that people post pics to guage condition, especially for boxes, instructions, things like that. It's very difficult to guage certain rarities without pics.

Wondering if anybody knows about Pinball machines? I'm picking up a 1978 Elvis Presly Alive Pinball Machine for $150. It's in really good condition. Might need to fix it up a little but not much. I know very little about Pinball machines but I want one and this is the only one I can find locally. When I get tired of it I'd like to trade it for an arcade machine. Just wondering if it will be possible.

Lol !!
You forgot the
"Do you know how much you payed for it?" just before
that.

And I will add my
"Wow, I never knew it what it was worth. Oh my gosh"

after

I recently found a complete Japanesse version of the Chef widescreen game & watch. However it's not listed in the guide.

The US version is but I was wondering if there was any price difference between the different countries. The box has wear and some writing on it but everything else is mint.

What about:

Genesis:
Sonic Spinball (alt music prototype)


I've been thinking of selling it, because I'm so low on cash right now.
