Price Check Thread

[GrayGhost81]

Thinking about getting a Japanese PS2, now that they're discontinued 

I'd settle for any model/edition. Price I've seen have varied a lot.

Anyone have any thoughts?

I'd recommend checking with Arcade Gear: http://arcade-gear.com/

These guys are fantastic to work with for Japanese imports.

Thank you Duke. Doesn't look like anything in stock at the moment but I'll bookmark them.

@grayghost81 not sure, i'll let someone else answer who knows better.

for myself, i saw a CIB (assumed) N64 system with the 2nd Atomic Purple controller for $85 at a local store. it looks considerably cheaper than it would cost me to order off ebay when you factor in shipping, but i'm wondering what anyone else thinks of that price. they also had Pikmin 2 (black label) for $36 + tax, which seems to be only a little above the lower end of ebay there. i'm thinking about going back for them tomorrow.

I suppose if you were to order online it would cost you about that or more.  But, it was the second most popular N64 console set sold (after the original console itself), so I don't think it will be the only one you see locally.  I think I'd paid up to $65 or so if I saw it in the wild.

i was thinking about offering them $60 and see what they say. maybe if i get that and pikmin i'll just ask them if they could round it down to an even $100 before tax.

i went back today and took a closer look. the box is basically new, not a mark on it anywhere, same with the Styrofoam supports. the only problem is the atomic purple controller needs a new joystick and is pretty disgustingly dirty, not a huge problem but makes the $85 less attractive. it was also missing all the paperwork, so i passed on it for those reasons. gray controller was in there but i didn't bother looking at it.

What about a PSX SCPH7000W *JAP* completely new and boxed with one controller?

[Shadow Kisuragi]

Steve - one hasn't sold for a while, but it's been seen to sell for up to $200. I'd guess you're looking at probably lower than $150 due to low demand right now.

Looks like there's one available on eBay that hasn't sold for $130:

Kisuragi san. No that one. Im talking about the 10 million model we were talking earlier. The model midnight blue, supossed to be only 100 for territory. *America, Europe and Japan. Total 300 models only. I cannot get a really estimated value. Some people say 50 dollar, other 100$, others 1.000$...
I know the Japanese model is the most unseen...But still dont have a really real price. :-C

[Shadow Kisuragi]

Oh! Sorry.
Not sure about brand new - unfortunately, you're talking about something that has a very limited stock, and therefore the price is mainly driven upon the demand for it at the time. I know a used US one sold for $130 earlier in the year, but I don't know the condition on it.

[Izret101]

I believe top dollar on these back in the day was over 1k but i couldn't find any info about them selling recently (didn't look super hard) but i do know the values on them dropped off.

Given the rarity of the item and the fact that fewer and fewer nice ones are going to be available if you pull enough interest you might be able to make several hundred to 1,000 or more for it depending on how bad the collectors fight over it.

[Zouseap]

Izret101 thank you very much. Something like that I was thinking about.
Considering its completely unused and unboxed,  and considering also the Japanese ones are even more rare, I thought that was a more real price.

I have a chance to buy some watara supervisionsealed games in the vacuumed plastic clamshell style packaging. I know they are rare but no idea what kind of money they are worth since its not like anyone is begging for them. The games are chimera and carrier. Any estimates on value?

[blcklblskt]

^With stuff that rare, it's worth whatever someone will pay you.  I sold a loose SuperVision with Carrier for somewhere in the $50-70 range years ago, so I'd say they're probably worth more than that.

I saw Beat 'em and Eat 'em for Atari CIB on eBay going for $25 with 23 minutes left and only one bidder. I don't know a lot about the Atari collector scene so I didn't make a move, but it seemed like a pretty good deal.

Any thoughts?

[Shadow Kisuragi]

$25 would've been a good deal.

Non collector looking to buy an N64
(She apparently went to Gamestop first and was asking why the employees were so rude lulz)

I was going to offer her a loose system, cables, 2 controllers for 30+ shipping.

That sound about right?
