how much are we talking?

Name a price plz.

He’s asking for our guess at what it’d be worth.

I’d guess it should start at $800. That seems to be what sales are going for…?

OKAY Well I’m just a *bit* off, hahaha. I thought Space Invaders was a bit more rare? Or maybe it’s just Gundam and VLab that are more $800?

I’m tired. Time for bed, haha.

I think you could get $200.00 for just the cart rather quickly and easily.

Hi,
In my opinion 200$ is too much.
I sold my complete copy (see photo) with knife damages at the box for ~190$ on ebay.
I think 150$ for the cart would be a fair price

I’d estimate lower. 75$ or so. Most of the price of these games are in the box/manual.

To clarify why I gave the $200.00 amount:

If a loose copy of Space Invaders Virtual Collection would be placed on Ebay right now for $75.00, I would be willing to bet that it would be gone in 1 to 2 days. This is because it would be snagged very quickly by a reseller, who would know with great confidence that he could make a nice profit off of the cart in a short period of time. If the cart would be placed on Ebay for $200.00, however, I am rather confident that no reseller would touch it and that it would be purchased within 3 months by a gamer/collector who appreciates the game as well as having a genuine, original cart containing the game but who does not want to pay the extra $100.00 to $250.00 that is often necessary to get the instruction booklet and box along with the cart.

to place an item for “months” you’ll need an eBay store, the cost of that subscription is going to kill your profits. instead you would need to relist it each week, the problem with that is watchers may not realize. it would probably end up selling to someone who logged in that week looking to pick up the item you just happened to relist.

$100 is more what i think this cart will bring. i’ve seen similar unboxed copies sell for right around that. $200 seems more like an impulse buy to me. If someone has a box sitting around then perhaps they would pay a bit more knowing full well that they could ask $250+ in a retail setting.

i will say that a loose copy is worth 125 to 150 dollar for a gamer ( iff you want a compleet copy that will cost about 250 dollar )
a gamer dont gives about the box only the collectors do that
bud when a gamer needs to pay 200 dollar for a loose card he will buy it compleet for some more

this just what i think
