    Default NES ROB Robot

    There is an incomplete ROB at a local auction house. I used to have one of these but got rid of it, for a great price. I know they generally go for a good price on ebay complete. But this one is missing the Gyros everything else is there.

    what do you think it's worth?? It is at a silent auction, and currently I am the high bidder at $5.00 ..lol I doubt it will go for that little, but I'm wondering how high is to high for an incomplete ROB.



    thanks,

    I wouldn't pay more than $15-$20 for it.

    I usually sell complete, working ROBs for about $70-90 on eBay, but I've seen them go for as low as $45-50 on occasion. A single gyro goes for about $5, so subtract $10 for those two missing ones, and another $10 or so for it not being complete.

    So, I'd say that if you get it for $30 or less you're getting a much better deal than you'd ever be able to find on eBay, and if you pay $50 for it, that's a fair price.

    All this is assuming that it's known to be in good working condition, though. It's not uncommon for them to have issues, especially if they had young owners.

    Exactly. I wouldn't pay more than $10 for it if I wasn't able to test it.
