Cotton US price??

[willis]

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.

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.

+1 to this.

Make sure your auction ends on the weekend.

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.
