@Romiked2689 is the one I've met most.  He's actually been to both my current house and last house.  Delivered a Playchoice-10 to me a couple of winters ago and popped my arcade cherry!  Good dude.

That playchoice was my first also. It was awesome to meet you also. No clue if I ever mentioned but one of our trades lead to my top item so glad our paths crossed!

Finally got an item sold at New York Nintendo store! The story is that the first 100 people got this master edition signed. So that’s why it’s got a double seal. Zero plans to open it so y’all gonna have to trust me it’s the real mccoy  

How will collecting for the switch shake out in the long run with all these limited print companies( USA/Europe) I know region doesn’t matter and most of these companies gladly ship to everywhere 

It’s great looking glad I backed at signed tier myself!

Reed thanks for bringing this over and taking the reigns on this one.  I haven been able to update for a few months with my new travel schedule for work.  It was fun for the last 2.5 years but it’s for sure in better hands now!

You did such a great job tho! I’ve really enjoyed collecting for the switch. It’s a lot  as @Quaze displayed so well! 

There’s a bunch that are in the 2-300 range I’m curious to see what shakes out!

Good I was about to say that’s something that should take a ton to get.

I've heard of the stands alone going for $1000. I sold a kiosk with no stand and no monitor for around $1100 this time last year. Those Zenith monitors are notorious for not working and being hard to repair. A kiosk in good shape, with the stand and a good functioning Zenith monitor should approach $3k. Or if you have the M81C which is even less common with a bigger screen (consumer JVC) It could eclipse $3k.

Just the base of the kiosk without the tv for that amount is a decent amount over value. You did very well. I’d be very surprised if people were interested at 3k I shopped it around the Facebook display group. Facebook is full of lowballers and people that ghost you randomly.

i have one of these in complete and working condition. I'm not sure of the actual value but it would take more than $2350 to get mine.  

Did you sell pikachu? 

I’m already at 2% and I don’t even know her name yet what gives!!! 
 

seriously I have like 15 messages and it’s a 2% are we supposed to delete old conversations? 

Woot welcome back it’s been so long i forgot why I liked you! Also no clue why you were gone! Play nice now!!!

That sound cool ! Do you have a picture of this gba?

http://thevideogameproject.com/gbahard.html

yes it’s shared here. 

Not tmnt but I have tmnt 2 sealed pretty mint. 

Ditch digger for local 37. I’m a kid in the sand box. Don’t have pictures sorry but they aren’t that exciting anyway. 
 

   Joined the union for benefits and found a nice easy company that has tons of downtime! Getting paid right now while I’m posting this nothing response without any pictures!!! Lame I am! 

@fcgamer super cool find on the sega prototypes! I’d have interest in a couple of you ever move on from them. 
 

also I seen your post on the dead forum the question should you grade them. I wouldn’t personally but some will want that for them to spend money. 

I have a prerelease gba sp that’s labeled gba dx.

These are very nice looking RGB monitors when refurbished and calibrated correctly.  So yes I would say I would pay more for one that was calibrated correctly. I have recapped and calibrated many of them for myself and couldn't imagine wanting to sell them for the going rate, but I doubt many people care as much as I do about a refurbished one vs one that still works "mostly" and looks "ok".

These "Zenith" monitors get a bad name. They are definitely harder to work on compared to something like an arcade monitor. These things ran all day long for years so I don't expect them to work very well today.  Considering that it is quite amazing that most do.

 

 

That’s the reason they get a bad name because they are compared to arcade crts which were left on all the time. Also I agree the monitor/ sound pcb always would have problems due to the prolonged use. 
 

   I’ve seen quite a few since mine have sold and I’d say a very nice monitor with zero burn is harder to find then the stand but people don’t value it differently. At the time of selling mine I seen maybe one or two others with stand. Since then maybe like 6 more. Mostly eBay or the Facebook group

Video games and music 24 hours a day for 3 days. The marketplace sucks, the arcade is alright, the music is awesome! And NES homebrew guys show up so you can probably play some Commie Killer.

Damn as someone that’s helped and donated towards that arcade I’m hurt deeply!

I said nothing at all about uniqueness.   First and foremost my issue was aesthetics.    The secondary issue about lack of relevance was my POV only and many won’t share that view so I consider that much less important to an analysis of any future prospects 

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I’m glad it’s that way. I’m just stating how someone said you destroyed the nes prototype market because of you not being excited for translation coding. Yeah I’ll admit a sample or same as retail isn’t as appealing to me as something that’s unique to what we got. I do have a couple samples or same as retail because of nostalgia for me.(pocky rocky and Pokémon). I mainly get hard for something that’s different or something I have a general interest in. I guess I coulda stated that the translation code isn’t what most in prototypes are after. Although people love to see bad words not censored. 
 

the high dollar prototypes are usually first party or unreleased. Being nes or GameCube or something in between doesn’t mean it will have value. i also do not buy prototypes for the value I’m a huge fan of pcbs so what doesn’t appeal to you aesthetically does it for me. Also to be very clear having a shell for the pcb is always a huge plus. Also having a badass label huugge plus. Also since there’s no thread for prototypes and I doubt I can change that! Here’s some eye candy

Lmao, man destroys the NES prototype market in one sentence.

Really interesting someone says prototypes do nothing for him and then he destroys it because he couldn’t find anything unique;) I have a nes prototype that was used for Disney 1990 championship so rarer then nwc and it’s still different with zero bad translation( bunch of spelling errors tho)

I'm not sure, but I do prefer proto boxes to proto carts. 

You would! But seriously prototype boxes are very cool.

1. Movie / Comic related games. I expect the values of Wolverine, X-Men, Spiderman and Disney games to go way up from crossover in collecting.

2. Prototypes. I have no idea why prototypes to some of the most iconic games are still only worth $2000, there should be another zero on there. I personally think the development prototype to a popular game should be worth way more than a competition cartridge which has more than 100 copies known.

1.  I could see certain movies maybe but mostly comics and they are already in the hype mix I just sold a sealed silver surfer for 525! 
 

2. I agree wholeheartedly on prototypes. They were never ever supposed to make it out into the general public but of course they did! The problem is no one cares! I can’t even get a section devoted to prototypes but yet there’s a section for speculation of video game economics(seriously why does this get its own thread). Sealed in top condition is the top of the mountain in video game collecting. Quick note on top of the mountain it’s actually the box art but there’s only so many that can afford those.
