If you guys had a retro game console (ex: famicom) would you sell it and how much do you think you can get for it.
Just wondering cause I have a famicom and I plan on selling it if it cost alot.

I have the majority of the older consoles, and I wouldn't sell them personally. But you can rake in 100+ for a famicom in good condition. I have a "Pong" system made by tele-games... now THAT thing is old. I wonder how much I can rake in from that? (even though I'd never sell it).

My pong is priceless to me. I'm surprised they aren't selling for over $100. They're a great piece of video gaming history.

They aren't selling for that much because my grandmother still has one hooked up to her TV and my great uncles haven't used it for years!

My friends pot smoking grandmother (can I say that? it's true!) still tries to play hers while she is stoned!

Not only are the units not as rare as you thought but there is no real general interest in them aside from a nostalgic view.

light alistor, if you did not recently pick that thing up at a yard sale for a dollar you show your age!

I wonder if you have searched ebay to get an idea (if any) what they are going for in used or mint condition?

Nah it ought to get higher than that, there is plenty of time.

I think the ad lacks a good explanation or description of the device as well as to inform the consumer whether it works or expect it to be a DOA. Just my .02 cents.

I'd get an nes but still get a flash kart though.

Heh I looked up one of those but the one I found costed a whopping $135 on an official website. Maybe you can get it cheaper on eBay. Search for 'PowerPak'
