What's the value of?...

Do you guys think this is worth the guy's $80 asking price. My Gameboy was stolen some years back and this just popped up locally. Should I offer less or is $80 decent, I haven't priced portables in years.

That's a tough one. The original GB can usually be found (games and all) VERY cheap when they're without boxes. With the manuals and the cases things tend to go for a few more dollars, but I personally wouldn't probably pay more than $50 (if that at all) for that bundle because I'm a CIB collector.

I've seen similar bundles go for ~$50-$60 on Craigslist, but that gameboy does look like it was either cleaned or was well taken care of, so if there are no dead pixels or anything I could see them asking that price range (50-65 or so). I'd certainly haggle at the $80 range though if I was interested in that.

If you were just to price it out, you're getting 17 games + a GB for ~$4.50/ea. which probably isn't a terrible deal, just not likely a "oh my gosh this is amazing" one.

Thanks for the reply, I begrudgingly offered him $65 and haven't heard back since I asked the question. Nostalgia getting the best of me
