Hello all!
I was getting ready to sell my TG-16 collection (can't stand the thought, but I need to) and I was looking up some prices for some of the games I have. I've been extremely inactive in the world of TG-16 so I wanted to see what the general thought is. I have a US version (complete/excellent condition) of Cotton and was taken back by some of the prices I've seen it go for. Is it really worth $300 - $500??? That seems insane to me.
Is there a good place to gauge prices for the rest of my games?
Thanks for any info on this

Nuts....they are all nuts. No really there are a few guides on here but if I recall not so up to date. I also read somewhere there is a pretty current (or more current) guide out there on the web. poke around you might be able to find it with a search. You prolly wouldn't get that much for it here unless you get a fish on the hook. Any how it sucks to have to sell but good luck.

Do an AUCTION. Run it for 7-10 days, use all appropriate key words, and take a good picture. At the end of this period, a magical genie will appear before you and reveal the current price for U.S. Cotton.

Here's how to find out prices:
Approx. 50-90% lower than the median of sold auction sales on the ugly, evil place of baying. For games not listed, simply dig deeper (google-google-google)... or hold some raffles on this adorable site before you. :3
Nevermind, do this:

I picked up a copy here a year or so ago for $150. I think any game selling for more than that much is ridiculous. ...then again I think a game selling for that much is ridiculous.
...huh.
-
A while ago one of our forum members was selling some stuff at neo-geo.com. Cotton happened to be one of those games. It sold for around $200. I would personally let it ride on ebay with a 0.01 start bid. Trust the stupidity of collectors. They will give you the price you want, or you could take offers from us here. :mrgreen:
-
Make sure your auction ends on the weekend.
-
How'd you come up with $300-500? Sounds like you've answered your own question about how to find current eBay values. Thanks for wasting our time.
-
I paid $49.99 for my copy. Not sure if it was worth that much.
To me anyway.
Good luck with your sale. :)
-
I seem to remember selling my US cotton for $150 to $200 ish Maybe seibenbuubueuubu bought it lol

+1 to this.
-

Yes, and at a time where all US time zones are up and at 'em. Don't want the auction to end too early or too late.
-
My sealed copy sold two years ago for $260. Well publicized, ten-day auction.
-
Thanks for the info guys!
-
Yeah I think that is a bit steep for a TG16 game, the most I've ever paid for a AES game was $250, but for Neo-Geo I expect those prices. Anyway http://videogames.pricecharting.com/game/turbografx-16/cotton-fantastic-night-dreams-%5Bsuper-cd%5D states over the past couple years averaging around $515 for an open copy. A CD based game can't be worth that much if you ask me. That's a good chunk of change to buy another console or pay off some debt.
[edit]
Sorry... not average, but the high.

Does it really matter if it's a CD or a cartridge?

Neo Geo cart games are worth <$3.

CD games double as audio CDs and have much better sound. They should be worth more than clunky old carts.

Well, this coming from a AES and MVS owner I really love the Neo-Geo. The prices on the games started out high so paying a high price for them now does not bother me that much. But, for CD games that cost $50-$60 when they were released costing $500 now is a bit crazy in my mind.
That being said today I bought the most expensive CD game than I ever have.

Obviously not Fighting Street.

Can I buy your Cotton for the price you paid so I can have one for each ball as to cover up when I go streaking this Halloween?
-
Wow. Subtract $125 from that price and that's about what I paid for my "no one wants TG-16 games" in 93.

Damn... $40 for fighting street!? That's like paying $20 for Karate Champ.

For Fighting Street I was willing to pay that much. It was the first TGCD game I bought back in the day... even though I didn't own a TGCD system. So now that I finally got it I decided to pick this game up again.

Can I ask why you are selling? I sold my stuff off about a year and a half back to pay for my wedding, and am trying to get back in, so I am just curious.
Other than that, just do the auction thing recommended by vestcoat, or even try to sell it on here to another wanting member of the community for a fair price.
-
No spine card, the US Cotton is inferior, that is all.
-
Collectards were already paying as much as $200 for Turbo Cotton when I sold my sealed copy for $70.
-
An older member here sold his for 250.00 couple years ago. It seems when its a new member we chastise him, if its an older and more established member we turn our backs to it and ignore it.
-
You mean vestcoat's? His started at a buck and I've no reason to believe he shill bid to get it to its ending value, so why would I bitch about that? It'd be a different story had he relisted it for months as an overpriced BIN or set the asking price here on the forum at $250.
-
Genuine COTTON runs close to 1k. There are many fake copies that sell up to $300. There is a thread here somewhere that distinguishes fake from real copies.

That's a lot of stupid, even for you.

Isn't it funny you can buy a cotton PCB less than the US turbo version

No, I'm not the member you were referring to? Or no, it wouldn't be a different story?

I have never heard of a "fake" run of Cotton before.
