Whats it Worth? Famicom + Disk System Complete + Minty

[l2yan00]

new belt installed, missing ac adapter for disk system (dont think it ever came with one) , famicom is yellowed.

what would this sell for? thanks!

Hard to put a number on it, the disk systems push upwards of $100 loose; but yours is minty. I would say minimum I would take would be in the $350 range. Maybe much more. I remember having one of these in Okinawa, damn I should have brought it back with me.

You system looks yellowed (just about all systems from that era are) but it is complete. Id love to get this but those are RF only

Disk Systems do not go for $100 loose. They go for $100 complete. Plus, not all Famis get yellowed. It has nothing to do with how the owner maintained the console - it's just bad luck. But either way it affects the value. Since you have all the inserts / manuals etc for both, that adds a bit to the value. Plus it's hard to find a boxed fami. I wouldn't take less than $250 before shipping if I wasn't desperate to sell it.

Complete DS = ~$100
Complete Fami = ~$150 - yellowing = ~$125
Packaging in great condition = ~$25 extra

Actually I didn't know Famicoms were white until I saw that pic of the box, all the units I've seen (admittedly, not many) have been more yellow than yours.

Ope: You know that those can be AV modded pretty easily, right? I know you know people...

Thanks for calling me a liar
You are right though, this one went for $140 loose : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nintendo-Fa...0403173549?pt=Video_Games&hash=item53e9b400ad

EBay isn't the greatest basis for prices. I agree w/fakeXsound's assessment. When I was into FDS I was buying systems from Hong Kong for about $25/ea. Even a more popular HK site has them w/an extra belt and write modded for $60.

Maybe not, but the OP didn't say how much can I sell this to someone who has a knowledge of these things for? He said how much can I sell it for. I assumed his best route might be ebay where a lot of things are way overpriced. I see what you mean though.

Also that Zelda playbill in the FDS pic actually didn't originally come with the FDS (?) and it can be sold seperately for probably $20 as those playbills are pretty rare and especially for such a famous/popular game at that.

I almost bought a disk system yesterday. they had um for 3500yen but I didn't know the Fami/Disk combo requires 2 AC adapters, so I passed. You can however use batteries for the disk system which is cool I suppose. But Disk system is the only way to play SMB2 original... too bad.
