What's the value of?...

[Jean-Pierre]

Hello!

I just acquired a bag of goodies for the release of the Nintendo Switch, and I was curious about its value (got other stuff on my head to buy )

So it's a pretty big shoulder bag, where I guess you can store a Switch in (there is an elastic band inside to keep it in place, and it's padded all around). Plus you get the notebook, the post-it pad, the neck strap and the pen (which is in metal and suprisingly heavy).

Here it is, thanks for your help! I couldn't find any other online.

That Nintendo Switch stuff is around 30-50eur

Thanks for the link Stefanos!

Ok 30-50 seems fair to me, do you have a link about that price GameTrigger? I can't find anything online

That was only my opinion about price

I think that GameTrigger is prob around the right value with the extras included as bags are always hard to sell and usually end up going at much less than the retail price of a similar non-videogame bag which is strange but true - even such things as leather briefcases for massive franchises like Assassins Creed.

The notebook, pen etc add the value

Yes I understand, don't worry I totally believe both of you on that matter, doesn't seem like a very "premium" or funky collectible for the moment. But if I can sell it around 40 euros I'm already pretty happy!

With how plain the kit is I would say at most it might get $200-$300 or so hype price at launch.

This kit should behave like the inFAMOUS Second Son Press Kit (if that helps).

This is all guess work... you need an example and it is far too early for good examples.

So short story... it is too early to tell

WOW!!! Was I wrong this time on the hype price of the first sale. So the first auction finally took place for one of these and it sold for $550 (that is almost twice as much as I thought hype could pull in for a plain kit like this)!! For a box and an booklet essentially. I am shocked.

The great news is like all these Sony kits is there are almost 3,000 of them out there and after a few months the price will come down to reasonable levels.

Hype is so weird sometimes, all it takes are a couple of hyped people to bid feverishly for a kit and there it is (like the $5,000 Mind in Revolt book sale, or $5,000 for a Murder of Crows, actually Bioshock is the only other franchise that I have seen to skew value this far before... it is like they are both unicorns ). But yeah wanted to say I misjudged the hype of this one for sure (though I have not misjudged how plain the kit is).

I was watching that auction too - there are some crazy peeps out there!
