Bazaargametrading Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I have a number of Ti-99 CIB and some manual + games that need to be appraised, I can't find enough information on rarity / value on a handful of them, so I will be posting on a flickr the pictures I take of the items =] Is anyone knowledgeable on this systems software? As far as rarity and value are concerned mainly =]. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Pretty much anyone who has a lot of posts here would be able to give some indication--but there are about half a dozen collectors with intimate knowledge of the rarity and probable value of things TI--most of us post here. I've got one of the most extensive TI collections on the planet--and I've been following online sales for this system for more than 15 years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OLD CS1 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Plus, if you put things up for auction, no matter what the starting price, the market will easily take care of pricing for you. If it is truly a rare item people will go ape-shit-bananas for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Vorticon Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 There is no defined value for anything TI. It all depends on the need the buyer has for a particular item. For exmaple, I am not a collector, so even the rarest of cartridges will have a value of exactly zero for me, but perhaps a boat load of cash for another. As OLD CS1 said, put the items to auction and hope for the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Lee Stewart Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Agreed. For example, most cartridges are only worth a couple of bucks to me because I am more interested in the shells than the PCBs inside—at least, for the moment. ...lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone selling cartridges, I'll give you a buck each for them, and you can give me just the shell - you keep the board. Gazoo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douglie007 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I have about 150 it 99 4a games and I got them with the computer and expansion in trade for a n64 and 10 games but value is based on number of collectors looking for it. Ex Conkers bfd is not rare its atmost an uncommon, but everyone is looking for it so its over 70 bucks on the other hand zany golf on the genesis is very rare but goes for around 10, but not alot of people looking for it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazaargametrading Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 Thanks for the feedback everyone! I guess was looking to see mostly specifically how rare the items were, since I know the demand is really niche =] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 The key here is knowing which ones you are trying to find out information on. So far, you haven't given enough information to even give you an informed guess. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
