The problem with selling that on Ebay is that the cost to post it and make sure it's still in mint condition will still cost a lost. Not to mention Ebay/Paypal taking their cut. If I saw that, AND had the spare money, I'd be happy to pay £100 but at the end of the day, it's a luxury and the people who probably have the money to burn and buy it will have already bought one.

Y'know sellers can charge for shipping, right?
A lot of sellers usually offer cheaper shipping in the auction and do a disclaimer stating damage during postage isn't the fault of the seller. Usually offering that the buyer can pay for better shipping to ensure the item isn't damaged in transit.
Ebays "cut" it pretty minimal as well.

You're looking at 9% to eBay and 3.5% to PayPal. I'd note that if you charge for shipping the fee applies to your shipping cost as well. Should be named FeeBay

Have to cancel more than 12 hours from the auction end

Not necessarily, you can end it even after the auction's over and make up an excuse if the price wasn't the one you wanted. No fees will be applied.

I've done it before because I wasn't satisfied with the final price.

₤100 sold for this one. Your CIB games are much more collectible than the console.

Be sure that they buyer can see the Nintendo branded sleeves and take pics of the tops of the games as well if/when you list. A Photo of a TV running the system would make a buyer more confident too.

Here are some sold listings for PAL SMB2 & 3

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=PAL CIB nes super&_in_kw=1&_ex_kw=&_sacat=0&LH_Sold=1&_udlo=&_udhi=&_samilow=&_samihi=&_sadis=15&_stpos=50392&_sargn=-1&saslc=1&_salic=1&_sop=12&_dmd=1&_ipg=50&LH_Complete=1

Thanks for the ebay links but again I looked at the one sold for £100.00 but it wasn't exactly in great condition, all the box were mashed up and the actual insides don't look great either and tbh the games that they are listing on ebay are all in terrible condition! I would of thought mine should fetch way more in its original state I mean surely you would not find one 30 years old looking that good I would of thought a collector would pay more than £100.00 if they want one that good. The prices are all over the place on ebay it really seems to depend on quality and tbh I can't find as one as good as mine if I don't mind saying so myself without blowing my trumpet!

I wanted to take a picture of it working last night but to much trouble to set up out the box but yes it does work, I will note that thanks

I agree that that would be too low of a price for your NES. (Even though $376 looks like a lot to me, because I'm a poor bastard, and the Canadian dollar is doing horribly right now.)
Maybe something like, um, $450 (around £240) for the NES itself? Maybe a bit more or less.

Do you think more pictures of something in particular?, cause I was hoping there might of been say antique console person on here that would of known exactly. Not saying you guys are not helping by the way cause every comment helps

Hm... Maybe take close up pictures of the NES to show the condition of it?

Thanks yeah I will do those. Also if you notice in the one that has sold for £100.00 up above all the bits are not original, if you compare to my insides, its missing the TV AV Connecter and its original leads also it has a scart cable which never existed in the first place also the PSU is not original.

Maybe take pictures of those too, then? And state on the listing that they're the original cables.

Just so you know, some of your sleeves are mixed up, Goonies should have a blank one, SMB2 a logo one, etc. Not a big deal, especially if you intend to sell as a lot, but if you wind up selling any individually, it might be better to make sure you get them switched around to the proper 1st party logo 3rd party blank way.

Oh, yeah, I feel that could be pretty important. I know I would like to have the original game sleeves on my games, if at all possible.

Did you steal my NES? I have almost the exact same set in very similar condition

As for the price, I can easily say you'd get quite a bit for it here, but Finland has a price-inflated retro gaming market with everything going for loads. A SNES in bad condition sold for 140€ the other day.. A mint NES would easily net you twice the amount, not to mention with the games.

Damn, I've been found out!, I just knew it was a bad idea starting the thread on GBATemp, d'oh!

At least there is another good set somewhere else. What games have you got?, you should put some pictures up and compare, just for a bit of fun?

attbb043. Well spotted, yeah I see I have a few mixed up, thanks I will get that sorted out.

Updated first post with more pictures, some real nice close ups to show just how special it is. Hope you enjoy them as much as I did

Nice! Love how clean the controllers look -- I have some after market ones but they are shorter. The originals I have are pretty grubby, but nice long cords.

It looks like those controller cords are longer than the cords on my PSX controllers.
