guitarmas Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 Hey guys, I'm thinking about getting back into the Jaguar scene. I had a great collection at one point but I sold it all. What should I expect to pay for a cib console that is in pretty good shape? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapitanClassic Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 According to PriceCharting, there are about 2 sold per month, just north of $500. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mention it that often, but I had almost every Atari Jaguar game and all the CD games. The only ones I didn't have was GORF, and my Battlesphere Gold was a replica (which I made very clear when I sold it). And in selling all my CD stuff, and about 3/5ths of my Jaguar cartridges, I basically cleared about $23 thousand dollars. For the record, I kept a bunch of the ones I played a lot... like I didn't sell Defender 2000, Protector, Tempest, Doom, Wolf 3D, Another World, and about 30 other games... all of which would probably have been worth just as much as what I ended up selling. All of that was sold in the span of 1 month in early 2021. I assumed that Jaguar stuff had "cooled," but it seems that not only is that NOT the case, but it's actually gotten much, much, worse (expensive)!!! Man... I'm part of the problem I suppose (although I did sell my stuff and make it available to others), but I feel bad for people who'd like to get into this hobby, and clearly cannot... at least not legally.

harmonyFM Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 Mine was 400$ at a local game store and I knocked it down to 280 cash and 120 in trade credit. Generally physical stores have better prices than eBay and if you have any gaming accoutrements you feel like shedding you can make yourself a better deal than what you’ll get online.

That's a useful lesson for everyone -- When forced to choose between a relationship and material possessions consider which will last longer. 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Editorb Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 19 hours ago, guitarmas said: I thought I was in love. ...boy, that was a mistake. I sold my entire collection to make seeing.her possible. In early 2000s, after discovering the Jag sales figures, I asked only friend I knew who had one if he still had it and would sell. He said he threw all of it in a burn barrel in attempt to change his life for a woman ... a woman who had already dumped his sorry buttocks months earlier. I'm unsure how destroying a bunch of fun, valuable stuff while breathing their formerly encased toxins was supposed to wow the ladies, but my density may be a factor in my first marriage lasting 32 years so far, and his lasting less than six months. I reckon the ancient aphorism holds true: You can huck a Jag in a burn barrel, but you can't burn the Jag from your soul. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever I see one, my heart melts but it also hurts. Just knowing that I may never have a collection like that again, hits hard. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machine Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 I lost my entire game collection 11 yrs. ago in a fire. Built it back up to this. It would cost way more now but it is doable. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started to build up a PSP collection. I got quite a few games for it. My Collection. ...it just doesn't compete with the Jaguar. Not at all. I don't know how much my collection is worth but i will definitely sell/trade for a good Jaguar setup. Edited September 17 by guitarmas Added link.

You should post that pic on every YouTube vid that features some Chuzzlewit stating the Jag has a small library. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would cost way more now but it is doable. I don't want to be discouraging... to Guitarmas... but that collection above is probably a cool $35,000, for just the Jag stuff. The two Dizzy games, for example... I sold those for almost $500 a piece. I bought all the CyranoJ conversions... every single one. I did that because at one point, I had the complete collection and wanted it. I realized I didn't play these, and so I sold them... but the cost for these things are insane. I know it's not my problem, but this is my ENFJ-A personality talking... I hate to see someone throw a ton of money at something like this. Like... I want a 1967-1969 Porsche 911. Back in the early 2000s... you could buy them for just a couple of thousand. Now a rotted-out husk that's been completely stripped goes for $50k. A running one is like $80k. I realize my time with that opportunity has come and gone. I'm just gonna say... if you're not making like at least $200k annually and single, you don't want to start a Jaguar collection. Just wait until all the Gen-Xers start dying off, and you'll be able to pick up these collections for cheap... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good news is millennials and gen Z are into "retro gaming" now, so I think the cartridge era will remain valuable for awhile. It is amazing how Jag games and systems went from "you can't give them away" to "good luck finding anything at a remotely reasonable price". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
