attakid101 | 267 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Adam Koralick’s latest video announced that the PlayStation prototype owner is looking to sell it. Adam and the owner were both sporting GoCollect shirts in the video. Think that GoCollect will buy it?? Any guesses on what it’ll sell for??

drxandy | 3,225 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Hm ima throw a crazy guess just for fun. $15,000 Also the gocollect guy that looks like gloves is probably gonna buy it because it's the perfect item to brag, show off, and basically do anything but play games on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeaglePuss | 80 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 If it's a Go Collect purchase, I'm going to guess it "sells" for waaaaaaay higher in order to draw more eyes and create more articles. I'm going with $125,000. I wouldn't look at is as a strict sale for the hardware, but a combination of the hardware and the marketing bump that it could possibly generate. Not a dumb move on their part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloves | 11,759 Administrator · Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I'd kill to own this but there's simply no way I could afford it in any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadeye | 1,595 Homebrew Team · Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 He is looking for $3M. Had to go back and look for it to confirm I wasn't misremembering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is though, you can't do much with it. No games were made for it, to my knowledge. It can play SNES carts though. It is definitely very valuable, as being the only known prototype, but I can not fathom it being worth millions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorEncore | 3,690 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 $3 million? No thank you. Not even if I had $3 billion to spare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,929 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 It's just either the owner being delusional from years of fanboys sucking up to them and all the glory from shows and the ben heck repairs, or that's truly the I don't want to tell price just to put a number on it to quietly and nicely say screw you not for sale without just saying it. In other words, even Dr Evil can't afford it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Br81zad | 628 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 3 mil?! I played SF2 on that very machine a few years ago at the Louisville Arcade Expo. I had no idea at the time that I was handling a multi million dollar piece of tech. Lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yelir | 11 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I got a good chuckle out of the early price estimates in this thread! The more important question, could you justify spending at least a million dollars on this kind of item if you had the cash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astor Reinhardt | 199 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 3 mil...what the heck is the owner smoking. If I was a multi billionaire...and could make that 3 mil back fairly easily...yeah I'd buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkTone | 984 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I thought they weren't allowed to sell this, or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearcat-Doug | 5,104 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 They want $3 million?! I would only go $2,999,999.99 and not a penny more, so I'm out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ookii_risu | 206 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 $3 million... think of all the hookers and blow you could have for that instead. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptOut | 8,881 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 3 million may be a stretch, but of all the videogame related items out there that might possibly pull down anywhere near that figure, this has got to be a contender. I mean historical significance is one thing, but before this unit was discovered it was practically a myth and a legend rather than a tangible object that it was ever thought possible to own. To hold the ACTUAL Nintendo Playstation in your hands still sounds like a fantasy to me, it really is that special. Add in the fact that this is likely one-of-a-kind (or as close to that as you can get), and yeah why not at least a million?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Pac | 7,513 Graphics Team · Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Historical significance aside, that console looks really slick. I like the design even more than the original SNES and SFC - especially if you picture it without all the yellowing from age. If I ever got my hands on something like that, though, I'd probably be the scoundrel who just uses it to play SNES carts instead of making any effort at preservation haha. -CasualCart 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a reasonable crazy price for a proto piece of hardware that has no games exclusive to it. I wouldn't even really want to own, should be donated to a museum.
