Value of complete 3DO collection?
Hi, I was on Craigslist and ran across this ad:
http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/vgm/2875547345.html
He says all US and JP (though after talking to him, he's not entirely certain he has all of the JP titles, is there a handy list somewhere I can show him?) titles, along with a couple of betas (if any of these need to be dumped, I can try to get my hands on them) I made him an offer of 4k (I really had a layman's idea of what this kind of lot was worth) and he turned it down, hoping to get around 6k+.
I know this is a tough question to field in an exact sort of way, but is this lot worth 6k? Worth more? Any help is appreciated, and thank you.

I was aware of this collection days before it showed up on this forum (Digitpress).
If I was interested in buying the collection I would have already committed to doing so.
If you want to know if all of the Japanese exclusives are there, I can tell you. If not, no skin off of my back.

He doesn't have any other pictures as far as I know. I can ask, but he seems to have poor communication skills (or no interest in talking to me)bitrate wrote:Old Gregg wrote:bitrate will buy them and you will never see the collection again

So this hit Digitpress eh? I feel special for being in the area that this is being sold in.
EDIT: He won't take any more pictures, but he said if I want to get the lot, I need to beat the current offer of 6500. It's being shown 10 am tomorrow to a prospective buyer that he suspects will purchase it. As cool as it would be... I can't blow half of my savings on that

6 thousand plus for that collection and he won't take any more photos? I don't think so and if bitrate isn't going for it, I'd take that as a good indication of things. I wonder if he really has anyone offering 6500 or if he's just attempting to feed you and/or others a line of bull in hopes you'll rush to offer more than his manufactured price.

1500 eh? That is indeed a far cry from 6k... even with any extras this guy has over the auction from years ago.
I got the near complete North American collection of the Turbo Grafx games for 1200 off of Craigslist last year (all complete in box and it's missing Bonk 3 and Magical Chase) and that felt like an infinitely better purchase than this one would have been, even at my offer of 4500.
Thanks for the replies, everyone. Maybe if I wait, the guy will come back down to reality (assuming he's lying about tomorrow's buyer)

Something else to think about, a very nice 3DO lot sold on eBay last week for about $700. That should help put it into perspective a bit:

That's £400/£500 that's quite a lot.Austin wrote:Something else to think about, a very nice 3DO lot sold on evilbay last week for about $700. That should help put it into perspective a bit:

This isn't really related but I just found out that if you click on the evilbay link when it's in quotes you actually go to www.evilbay.com
