Kenny's Mom Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Six years ago when my son moved out and he left tons of junk in his closet. I finally decided to clean it out; taking everything to the trash. I did find an interesting object. He had a Lynx system, I believe that it is a model II. It is in a carrying case, with 6 games (Pac Land, Ninja Gaiden, Zarlor Mercenay, Xenophobe, Ryagar, Hard Drivin'), 2 cords (car charger and electrical charger). If I decided to sell it ....what would be a fair price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjabba Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 (edited) I assume its all working and looking good. I bought my 2nd hand Lynx for $60: an unboxed Lynx unit with some common games and a charger. Pac-land, Hard Drivin' and Ninja Gaiden are somewhat harder to find, so that could raise the price a bit. Overall I would offer at most $100 for this. But maybe I'm greedy Edit: I'm talking about boxed games btw. Really like boxes around them for some reason.

If I decided to sell it ....what would be a fair price? I'm not really able to tell you what you'd get on ebay or craigslist for that. If you sold it to a gaming resale shop, I doubt you'd get more than $20 for the lot, and of course they'll turn around and sell it for $60. But if you're just looking to get rid of it, I'll send you $50 for everything. I've been planning to pick up most of those games, and I wouldn't mind having another spare Lynx for whenever mine bites the dust on me.

Kenny's Mom Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 I'm sorry but I don't think $50 would be a fair price....I would consider $100 ...your thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjabba Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Sorry to mislead this conversation a bit. I was merely stating my thoughts on a price here, but I'm not interested in getting an unit at the moment. I'm from the Netherlands, and it looks like Lynx stuff is being sold more expensive here. A quick look on Ebay shows that my $100 is way too much and $50 is closer to an honest deal when living in the US. Boxes and guides are important to collectors and would make a better price (I never understood why people throw away that stuff...). Loose carts are practically worth nothing when selling them to a 2nd hand shop. I've been offered 50 cents for some loose carts I have double when I tried to sell them in such shops.

raskar42 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 (edited) i might be interested, but i would like to see pictures first. as you said you thin it is a model 2 - has it been tested at all? the original packaging is what drives the collector prices, as an unpackaged unit it would appeal to players (like me) but it would have to be functional. also would you be accepting paypal on this? where would you be shipping from?

I paid 80 for mine with no games from a classic game store, called McVans, opened in the late 80's. There original store has a giant pac-man on the front along the door, actually supports the overhang for the entrance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kroogur Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Plenty on ebay right now from a couple bucks to $150+ with several in the $10 - $50 range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep that is the store, they are still open. That one is actually located in Fort Wayne, IN where I go to college. Go there on my free time when I am not studying.

raskar42 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Oh McVanns, the store that wants $100 for Cybermorph for the Jaguar! i think your exaggerating (i hope) but i do remember their pricing had a tendency to defy logic. on their site it looks like they only do online sales through ebay now.

Fyrman Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I would also agree with the $50 range. I picked up my model 2 Lynx with 15 games and a non-working model 1 for $70 about a year ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
