60+ Turbo collection on Ebay

[Press_Run]

One guy trading in his gaming stash for holiday bucks cause how can you explain two HUGE Turbo collections selloffs with a relatively short time.

http://cgi.ebay.com/BIG-Turbo-Grafx-16-Duo-60-game-lot-Dungeon-Explorer-II_W0QQitemZ230308945990QQcmdZViewItemQQptZVideo_Games_Games?hash=item230308945990&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2%7C65%3A10%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318

He's got a really good game selection: Vasteel and Exile II with original case (those are hard to come by), Cotton, Military Madness, Y's III, Shockman, Soldier Blade, Super Star Soldier and hardly has any crappy ones. Though, $2,600 as we know is a bit steep for BIN (don't get me started on the $100 s/h fee), but the best offer does hold a bit of promise.

Should we direct him over to this site and make him a few offers on parts of his collection? Anyone else think so?

[mobiusclimber]

He's insane. If the price didn't tell you that, the bits about how he tossed out the outer boxes to make room and how he doesn't want to take the pics all over again. He wants how much money and he's too lazy to take new pics?! WTF?!

[nectarsis]

He's actually been a member here for awhile now.

[Black Tiger]

The separate games as they are actually being sold as (no boxes, no System 3 card, no Turbo CD, etc) would sell for $850 or less. Also, I think that it's more like nearly 1/2 the Turbo games released, not 2/3.

Who, Gekiohshootingking? Don't care, I just call em how I see em. Those games are not worth that much individually, let alone as a set (which should be less, not more), and the two things I mentioned are awful. Tell me throwing away the outer boxes isn't bad, let alone asking an arm and a leg for something and then saying you won't take new photos of it.

[nectarsis]

Yea it is overpriced, I was just responding to the OP's comment of inviting them here...

[Press_Run]

Wow, you guys react fast.

I see what you getting at about the pics, but throwing the boxes isn't nothing new. I remember throwing out the boxes for games on the NES/SNES within the first day or two cause it was a colossal space taker and was trash. (So sue me, I was eight at the time. I didn't know better.)

It is a little disappointing he did throw them out. There were a few essentials I wanted.  He could have more for his bucks if he had kept them.

The separate games as they are actually being sold as (no boxes, no System 3 card, no Turbo CD, etc) would sell for $850 or less. Also, I think that it's more like nearly 1/2 the Turbo games released, not 2/3.

I wouldn't sell it that short.  He does have a fine selection with little mentioning of crap unlike the last guy. Take the 20 most expensive should more than cover $850. Could go for at least $1300, assuming he breaks it up on Ebay.

[mobiusclimber]

Yeah, throwing out boxes is something you do when you're a kid, not an adult tho. Those boxes = money, for one thing, but a collector would value them regardless of a price tag.

[nectarsis]

Yea but a LOT of people on here will disagree...just because YOU value the boxes, MANY on here could care less.  It's like the spine cards/foam inserts/registration cards on PCE games...some people HAVE to have em, others could care less.

Maybe if they had the boxes and/or many were new/sealed. There's a big difference between what games are listed as on eBay and what they sell for. For example, Ys III is worth $30 - $40 tops, not $99.99. I bought mine complete with the cardboard box for $35 Buy-It-Now about a year ago and one new/sealed for $19 the year before that as an auction.

Premium prices are for for premium condition/complete items. Too many modern sellers look only at the maximum asking price for something mint/complete and then list their far-from-mint loose games for the same or a few bucks less.

Of course, but comparing to prices from the last turbo collection selloff, i.e. Cotton $63, Dungeon Explorer $90, Valis III $36 (surprised by this one), Vasteel $41, Y's 1&2 $35, etc.

All I'm saying don't sell it too short, plenty of rare and uncommon games in there. I know many Ebayers would love to get their hands on Soldier Blade, and Vasteel and Exile II with original slipcase.

Is Soldier Blade really that expensive nowadays?

[Turbo D]

by ebay prices yes. I got mine for $30 at a local gamestore; WITH box!
