Price Check

[udisi]

I'm new to the forums, but been an on and off lurker here for some time. I haven't play my Turbo stuff in a long time. I've debated whether I should sell it off and put the cash towards other games I want. I've thought it before, but always said "I'll never find these again" This brings me to my question. I have a ton of rare stuff for the Turbo Grafx(including a complete US Duo collection), I wanted to know what other people though was a good value point on it.

just looking for a ballpark figure. still don't know if I'll let if go, but seriously haven't played these in some time.

As a whole this package is way to hard to put a price on.  You do have some harder to find items and I can tell you many of the people on the forums would be more than happy to take some of them off your hands.  Are you really looking to get rid of it as a package or are you considering breaking it up?

[udisi]

well, If I get rid of it, I'd rather do it as a package because I'm gonna get rid of all of it.  If I break it up, it'll get cherry picked and I'll end up with World court tennis and Keith courage probably lol. Really, I haven't really decided what to do yet though. I been wanting to buy a pinball machine, and I thought, hey, turbo duo stuff could do that for me.

[Sparky]

ya you have some great games there and some toughies to find... in this case you might be best splitting it up to get the rare games to the people who need them at a fair price and then the duo combined with some of the more common games as a bundle. Might end up getting more out of selling it this way as well.

there are a couple games there i would likey if you do decide to break!!

My thoughts exactly and entirely, Sell the rarer games, maybe keep a few to throw in the duo package. You'll make more money piecing out what people want in terms of games only, then whatever doesn't sell, throw that in with the duo. If you part this out you can probably make (This is a rough guesstamate) somewhere around 400-500$? The duo is worth around 200 in itself if it's CIB. But you'd probably make 300-400$ If you sell it all at once, maybe even less.

I'd say that's a very low estimate.

3 girly games
Beyond Shadowgate
Bonk 3 CD
Cotton
Dungeon Explorer 2
Dynastic Hero
Exile:Wicked Phenomenon(with slip sleeve)
Godzilla
Might and Magic III
Super Air Zonk

Easily way over your estimate with just those games alone. And a CIB Duo should easily fetch $200-250 if not more.

[Obfuscate]

Yeah, I think you'll make more splitting it up the way mentioned above. Seperate the rare games and sell the common games and the system together. Just the rare games you'll get easy over $1,000. I'd bet you could get 2K or so splitting it up maybe around 1K all as one.

[hoobs88]

I'm interested in the 3 girly games and Dynastic Hero (4 of the 5 games needed to complete my collection)

[udisi]

well, I've got a lot of input on the duo titles, with a total of around $2800 broken up. Still looking for some Hu card Values.

I probably won't do anything till after the 17th of April. I may just do a big BIN on ebay with best offer, and see what happens. don't know yet still, but I am leaning towards selling them.

[TheClash603]

You have a lot of interest on these boards, and you don't have to worry about ebay fees.  Of course it is your stuff, so do what you want, but why lose that 12% if you can sell here?

Anyone here able to come up with a decent offer, then could break up for everyone?  I just booked a vacation, so I unfortunately fall short of the entire lot asking price, but there are definitely a few games I would like!

[wmacmonagle]

Indeed I agree with you Clash.

I sold many of my games around here and other forum very lil less than ebay but profit 5 under and over (about same).

It s pretty good.. I loved the way Sparky said about this "you might be best splitting it up to get the rare games to the people who need them at a fair price and then the duo combined with some of the more common games"

It s true.. I would have done the same.  Get the top dollars on each games.  As package  will cut you about 15 to 20% of expect price range due to BUNDLE deal...

It s your sweet call thos.  LMK if you are willing to break up deals.. Im after Super Air Zonk to up deal with one VIP member here =)

BTW - probably get $300-$400 for the hu lot.

[milkmanv1]

Hm I went low on the prices I know, But thats the bare minimum he would make, not saying he couldn't make more.

Hahaha... you and that top dollar wmac .... and i think this guy is after that as well which is fine and why he will post it on ebay.
It would have been nice for some of the members to get a chance on some of these before it gets bought by a high roller as a bundle and then resold back on da bay at "market value"
 
oh well, i am moving on.....

[Necromancer]

Agreed, Sparky.  If the OP is looking for top dollar, just post it on ebay and quit wasting everyone's time.
