[SMF]

Honestly, the price's people are listing JB Harold Murder Club and Cratermaze lately make me want to give up looking at ebay altogether...

Didnt you know JB Harold Murder Club is rarer then some game called Magical Chase.  :-"

Not a gouge but the title is funny. 7 RPG, 1 RPG same thing?

Heh, that's a good one!  Even one RPG is rather a stretch.

Role Playing games: Legendary Axe, Deep Blue, Dungeon Explorer, Keith Courage, Bonk's Adventure, Bloody Wolf, Splatterhouse

By that seller's definition of RPG, all games would be considered role playing games.  TV Sports Football would be an RPG by assuming the "role" of a Football player.

I offered $10 to this clown, but he declined.  And here I thought I was being generous.

wow, really? JB harold isn't hard to come by at all
I got my boxed and complete (hell, there's even the shrink wrap still on the box) for $10 shipped last year.

I'm not a clown and I don't really want to part with my stuff but I need to at least list it to see what kind of "reasonable offers I might get. Times are tough right now so I decided to "just see what happens". Video games are just not a priority right now. I'm torn about even considering letting this go as I was hoping to pass all of this cool stuff that I spent years collecting to my daughter...

Yes that price is SUPER high, but If those actually interested started shooting me real offers instead of trying to make a point and be snarky, somebody might actually end up with a good deal. And I did lower the price from $1800 to $1600.

I'm sure it will sell to somebody for much, much less than I'm asking. I'm not clueless.

Tell me what is it really worth? Should I part it out? Should I just sell the rares?

Truly,
David

Why not just list it slightly above a reasonable price that you would let it go for in the first place? Not a number that is way higher than it is all worth. It does make you come off as a seller that won't take actual reasonable offers of which the lot would be worth. It will appear as a waste of time for potential buyers. Those are all common lower priced games. I don't see a Bonk 3, Magical Chase or Dynastic Hero... not even so much as a Japanese Dracula X or Double Dragon 2. Not to mention the whole point of even buying a collection bundle 9/10 times is to just simply get a great deal.

Fair enough... But I was assuming it would be most appealing to people looking to get into the TG16 thing, not seasoned collectors. If I had those kind of games I would sell them off outright. And there are some less common items in there like the Super CD card, Ys III, Order of the Griffon (with OG box), etc.

It's an experiment... I'm sure I will adjust it depending on how serious I get about unloading it or maybe I'll take it down if business picks up and we can afford to pay our mortgage...

Passive aggressive BS is just lazy and trite. He could have just messaged me and told me I was WAY off and suggested a price. I mean, I am a member here... even though it's been forever since I last posted.

I'm sure Necromancer was not trying to insult you. But when your trying to sell a TG 16 system with nothing to jump out at you worth spendng that kind of money on it does make you come off as a Seller looking to screw someone that would wann start collecting. NOT to insult you but you do have a lot of commons that anyone could pick up for a few bucks. If your serious about selling it try to sell it on here to people that would love to give you fair value and that way you know its gonna go to someone that's gonna enjoy it like you have for so many years.

[TheMilford]

Ok... dropped the price to $1400. Still high I know but not crazy if you were to cobble all this stuff together separately.

I might see what happens this week and if it doesn't go I might sell off just the CD ROM, SCD card and games... keep the core system and the common stuff... maybe let Order of the Griffon go... I dunno, I really don't wanna sell it. But a chunk would go a long way for the family and I can always find this stuff again if the bug hits me during a more lucrative time.

Am I still a clown? Should I really care what you guys think?

Best,
D
