How much for a Gamecube NPDP reader?

[mrmark0673]

Hi guys,

I was wondering what the going rate for a loose NPDP Gamecube reader. Anyone have a general idea? At the same time, what about a Gamecube NR reader? Thanks for the help!

NPDP.

I like to pronounce it "Nip Dip"

Everybody.

NPDP is the red cartridge reader right? I still need one of those for my collection...

Pics of my "Nip Dip" so that maybe you all can help me to better estimate it's value:









Maybe the Acclaim info adds to the price, not sure. So what do we think? I've seen them from $120-$570 and eveywhere in between, is $325ish reasonable? Let me know guys, and thanks again!

What does that thing exactly do if I might ask? Play cartridges?

Basically plays big hard drives disguised as carts, the link to assembler has more info. What about the cost though guys? What am I looking at for a fair price if I wanted to sell it off? Plenty of replies without a single dollar amount so far...

From what I've gathered about this, I have no idea what to price it at. If this was just an early Gamecube testing thing sent to developers, it's possible you could get more than $325, but I dunno how rare the carts that play on these things are, and whatnot.

I really don't have any idea of what would be a good price. I know they're rare, but they're also useless unless you can get your hands on a npdp cart with some stuff on it.

There's an auction on eBay right now that has 0 bids and about two days left with a starting bid of $200 USD. I'd wait and see if that gets any bids, and if it doesn't then that might be an indication of its value.

Personally I'd pay about $100 for one, just to have. That is, if I had money.
