Need appraisal: Astrocade-sealed in outer shipping container

[Ed Oscuro]

I see you're point, but I think you misunderstood mine. What I'm trying to get across is this. When selling a collectible they are only worth what the person you're selling them to will pay

Bingo. I think I know such a person!

As for the issue of the contents, I have a few simple solutions:

a.) Take it down to the lab for a CAT scan
- OR -
b.) Seller weighs the box, and this is compared to the weight of a known Astrocade with original materials - perferably one complete with this same shipping box (y-bot's help would be appreciated) - posted after Goblin releases the results of his weighing.

As for that $300-tops mark, well, we'll see. I guess some folks know better than others how much to pay for something

... 50% of them were defective right out of the box.

OUCH. Did you determine what sort of defect we're talking about? ROMs going dead?

Ha Ha! Well that never crossed my mind, I hope that Astrocade has some good health insurance

Has been quite a while but I believe the majority of them were dead CPUs with maybe one of them having a bad bios chip. One of them I know had a bad power supply. Pretty sure that was the main problems but again it was a while back and I have the memory of a floor lamp
