Trying to find out what my PS1 lot is really worth

Can anyone tell me what they think this 183 games + system and controllers set would actually be worth? I'm not getting any offers, not even low-ball ones like I should. If I don't want to scare people off I need to price this correctly.

To be honest there just isnt a lot of value there. Its mostly sports games, and being loose devalues them even more. I couldnt even put a price on it, but I would say a very rough one would be $75. I just dont know if there would even be an interested buyer.

You probably won't get much for it as a lot, most of those games aren't desirable and even if they were included for free along with the better games, people would be reluctant to buy as those games would increase the shipping cost. You'd probably get more if you sold everything locally, and separately.

I'll just give an estimate to what I would think things are worth.

System with hookups and memory cards; $10-$20
Super GB Booster; $5-$10

ReBoot; $3-$5
Philosoma; $5
A-Train; $5-$10
Maximum Force; $5
Treasures of the Deep; $3-$5
Countdown Vampires; $3-$5

Add $1 for each other non-sports game, I believe I counted around 40-42 other non-sports games just based on their titles. The sports games are worthless(the cases would probably be worth more separately). So that would be about $80 for everything together.

It would be better to bundle the system with the non-sports games locally(maybe for $100), and post the rest of the games locally for $2 each and offer deals if more than 10 games are bought together. Eventually lower the price to $1 each to get rid of the rest.

The problem is twofold, while you have a few decent games, almost all of them are loose, and that's a big turn off for a lot of folks. second its sports games again aren't nothing but number fodder for most collections, your not gonna get but maybe 75-100 for the lot if your lucky.

To give you an idea, I've sold disc only sports games for fifty cents apiece in the past.

Close to nothing. The big Genre that are generally not worth much are sports games, shooters, racing games, & games based on tvs & movies.

Your entire lot seems to be made up almost entirely out of those games. As said before, not having boxes devalues them even more.

It's worth maybe $30.00 to $50 just based on the amount of games, but neither the game's them self or the playstation are desirable items so it's anyone's guess.

Off topic, but you look like that kid Charlie Buckett off the old Willy Wonka movie.

Carry on.

I looked through the list as well, and all i see is 'sports, sports, sports, 1 obscure game not worth much, sports, sports, sports, common game, sports'.

Sorry that everyone is bursting your bubble, but your PS1 collection ain't worth $200, or even $100.

For collectors (like me), i'm looking for stuff that is complete with original case, manuals, etc. If it doesn't have that, forget it - its not worth half its value.

For sports games, they are absolutely worthless.

On a good day, you might get $30-$40 bucks.

If you decide to not sell it as a lot or don't recieve any reasonable offers, there's a few titles in there I'd love to take off your hands.

I hate jewel cases so it doesn't bother me.

A-Train
Air Combat
Circuit Breakers
Formula 1 '97
TOCA Championship Racing
TOCA 2 Touring Car Challenge
Rally Cross 2

The only game in the whole lot that I see that's worth more than a buck or two is Vigilante 8 which only gets you like $12 shipped

[Rickstilwell1]

Ah I finally got a couple $50 offers on there. Looks like I'll be taking it. $70 shipped. If anyone wants to beat them do it before tomorrow because I'm going to accept it tomorrow night. And to think I paid $20 just to get a different Playstation for myself that has sound scope (this one didn't).
