    Default Interest Check: Complete US & JP Virtual Boy Collections + Promos *LOTS OF PICS*

    The Japanese game collection is up on Ebay:

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250359071076&sspagenam e=ADME:X:AAQ:US:11

    I usually hate 'interest check' posts like this, but I'm trying to gauge the best way to sell this. Would like to avoid Ebay if possible and stick selling on the forums if enough people are interested. Would like to sell everything in one single lot though instead of breaking everything up. Might split up the promotional items though but I haven't decided yet.

    This is more like a 96% complete Japanese & US VB collection. The only game I'm missing is Virtual Bowling (JPN). Also missing the box for SD Gundam Dimension War. Everything else is either complete or unopened. Here's what I've got:

    Virtual Boy mini countertop store display (like new)
    Blockbuster Video carrying case (like new)
    Red Alarm & Wario Land demo carts
    VB promo t-shirt
    Hudson Soft VB pin
    Japanese VB fanzine
    Japanese eye shade (NIB)
    Japanese ear buds x2 (NIB)
    Complete in box US VB system
    Complete US VB collection (about half still sealed including Waterworld)
    Complete JP VB collection (minus Virtual Bowling and the Gundam box)
    3/4 case of sealed US Virtual League Baseball carts
    Retail brochure featuring several unreleased VB games

    (more image links at the bottom...guess you can only use 10 photos max in a post)

    Haha, I was thinking the exact same thing when I was taking pics of it. The tag says 100% preshrunk cotton but it feels more like 100% cardboard because of all the layers of pain on it.

    If I ironed it, I could probably get the shirt to stand straight up on its own.

    I clicked on the link wondering, "Maybe he has a Virtual Bowling for sale?" Oh well.

    Nice collection, though!

    Thanks! Considering what I spend and what I've seen similar stuff sell for, I'm hoping for around 3k for everything. I figure the Japanese games to be worth half of that, so I think that's a fair estimate.

    It's a XL. It's a big XL though, so it looks more like an XXL.

    Does size really matter though? Anyone that would consider wearing this shirt out in public definitely has issues.

    Dude if that shirt was a L or M I would wear it in public. I mean Im just nerd enough to do that considering my entire arm is covered in mario tattoos.

    So how much just for the shirt?

    Haha, that's cool. You could probably get away with it then. I'm way too self conscious to even try it on in my own house.

    I've got a few messages from people interested in buying the entire lot (I cross posted this on AA), so I'd like to give them first dibs. If they fall thru though, I'll break everything up and put prices on it all.

    I'm going to bump this one last time to see if anyone is interested in the entire VB collection. If I don't have any takers by this Friday, I'm going to put the Japanese carts up on Ebay as one lot.

    Depending on what those sell for, I'll break the rest of the stuff up and put prices on it. I want to keep all the US games together though (not including the 2 demo carts).

    I must have that briefcase. If you decide to separate it let me know. Or if you are interested in trading I could take the VB inside it as well.
