How much is a boxed XE system worth?

[Lastblade]

First of all, I hope I am in the right forum.

 

Second, how much is a complete boxed XE system with instruction (gun/joystick/keyboard/the works) worth?

 

Thanks in advance

On ebay, they're all over the place. Sometimes below $50 and sometimes above $200.

 

Without the box, they don't seem to be worth much at all.

...and the last one on that list included Crystal Castles!

 

Go figure...

Try to make sure that the boxed XEGS set contains:

 

- a keyboard;

 

- the XG-1 lightgun;

 

-both "Bug Hunt" and FS2, with instructions;

 

-the XEGS manual;

 

-all warranty cards

 

-a console (wrapped in plastic)

 

-a relatively good box.

 

I bought a XEGS unit about a year ago on eBay that contained all of these items (and a 1050 DD) for $40US.

The best XEGS deals can be had from Canadian sellers. I get the feeling that the XEGS was a relatively big seller in Eastern Canada, and they're still relatively common. Canadian auctions also routinely end at lower prices than do their US counterparts; I think many Americans are leery of ordering goods from Canada, and sit out on these auctions.

Good deal!

 

And you're certainly right about the prices in Canada. Who knows, you might just find one with Mr. Do's Castle included...

Thanks for all your input.

 

I have one with everything but possibly the warranty card + baggy that holds the system. I was going to sell it but seeing how big and bulky and not worth much, I don't know what I am going to do with it.... Sigh... To think I paid $150 for this mofo years ago.
