Boxed NES and SNES For trade

[Opry99er]

Alright, I have a fairly nice boxed NES in the original foam packaging with hookups, 2 controllers and a Zapper. It is probably not *mint* but not too far off.

 

Im at work so I dont have a great pic, but I have attached the only two I have currently on my phone. Its just the box on my shelf (I have a daily-driver console that is not in as nice of shape as the boxed one)

 

I have 5 or 6 games I will throw in with this system as well.

 

 

 

I am looking for a plain Vextrex with a working controller. I dont need any games with it... just a decent console with controller. I dont know current values, other than what I see on eBay as Buy It Now (which is always a bit wacky) so this may not be an even trade. I accept that and I am willing to negotiate further in order to facilitate a transaction.

 

I will get more detailed pictures this weekend. Thanks in advance for looking, and have a great day.

So, not a perfect package, but nice. Looks like there is a small chip on the corner of the machine at the pairing of the two halves of the case. I tested it out with Blades of Steel and Rad Racer and it performed admirably.

 

Again, I would like to reiterate that I am not expecting that this will be a 1:1 deal. This Nintendo is up as a portion of a trade deal for a bare Vectrex. We can work out cash or additional trade to complete the transaction, as you can see I have many other items on my shelves. I just need a Vectrex like a crack fiend needs the rock....

 

Thanks in advance, and I can take some hyper-detailed photos if anyone is interested in the trade.

 

Have a great weekend, folks.

I would also be willing to include a working Super Nintendo system into the trade pot.

If anyone is interested, I can take pictures of the SNES console and game pads, etc.

How much would you take for cash for that Nintendo? That would help get you towards the Vextrex...

[Opry99er]

Values seem to be arbitrary these day. I saw one go for $50 and another go for $175. I didnt see anything different between the two.

 

Thats kind of why I am hoping to trade. Trade value is not necessarily monetary, sometimes it is intrinsic.

 

If someone made a killer offer on the NES, I would consider it, of course. But usually on Atariage, folks have a different understanding of market value and historical pricing data which sway perception and mark what theyre willing to pay for a specific item. Theyre *smart buyers.*

 

And thats good. But honestly if I wanted max value for a nostalgic system, eBay would probably be the best way to get it.

 

I know on the open market, my Nintendo system is worth between $80-$100. Buy it might be worth more in trade to someone who wants to get a Nintendo and a SNES.

 

So, to answer your question I dont know what I would take. Id rather trade it, but as you are implying, it may be tough to find this kind of trade.

No probs. Let me know if you are interested in selling it off. I don't need it per se, I have the NT Mini, but I sometimes get stupid and just buy stuff lol.
