TG16 CD Original BOX

[Samurai Ghost]

Yea it was CRAZY the original BIN of it on that auction was $199.99 but the first bidder bidded it at $25.00 so that killed the BIN price and it went for $535 that is insane !!!

Or stupid! If someone really wanted that box they'd be checking the auctions for it every day or so and would have snapped it up at $200 instead of bidding up to $535.

YAGRS: You should sell your box and buy some awesome rare games instead.

This. I enjoy having boxes/manuals for games as they actually serve a purpose (storing the game, having printed art on them, giving info/story on the game) but console boxes do nothing for me except take up room. Sell em and buy games!!

[CPTRAVE]

I agree with Keith Courage you should definitley sell them, imagine the cool stuff you can buy.

To be honest, the thought of selling a box for half a grand feels a bit dirty.

[CPTRAVE]

Not really if you are a hard core collector then they will welcome the BOX.

Nah, don't feel dirty about it.  That's when this comes into play:  "A fool and his money are soon parted."

They'd have to be on ebay pretty much 24/7 to do that though. In the past I've been pretty damn obsessed with ebay and have been on it pretty much all day long via my phone. I've seen many BINs sell in a matter of moments. Cheap BINs do exist (many people have no idea what they have) and they don't last.

I guess the CIB TG16 CD system I won at auction a few months ago would've been a great deal at $287 if the guy didn't SHIP IT IN THE ACTUAL BOX!  The top of it is now covered in shipping stickers, which is a damn shame.  I assume at this point it is kinda worthless, because box people are all condition whores too.

Too bad, I would've loved selling a box for $535!  :-P

^ I'm not much of a box collector but that's is a shame/funny, too bad he didn't at the very least cover it in some brown grocery bags and package tape.

Looks like the buyer could've saved about $500 if they just waited til today:

This one lasted four minutes though.

Lets see if that box gets relisted for big $$$$

[CPTRAVE]

If it does I am bidding on it max 8.00.
