toiletunes Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 This is one of those "Ebay is not a price guide" stories, but with a happy ending. The local shop had a fresh stack of CIB titles- every title I asked about, he scanned the barcode with his phone and gave me a price. Basketbrawl was like $90, Alien Brigade was around $45 (both out of my price range), but I got Motor Psycho for $10. As I went home, I was thinking "Is that an Ebay app or something?" So I checked and the prices closely match- but here's the thing- the $10 Motor Psycho on Ebay is PAL, not NTSC. I just play-tested, and mine is NTSC, so happy ending. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You did good.You got him good, LoL. ? Motor psycho on NTCS goes for over 100 dollars in eBay by some sellers. ? You could resell it on eBay and make a fortune. ?

+GoldenWheels Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 In "ebay ain't all bad news...I just bought (less than two weeks ago) a loose cart lot with Karateka, Motor Psycho, and Winter Games for 20 bucks. I had Karateka and did not have Winter Games, I figure it is worth 5$ so by my internal videogame buying logic I paid 15$ for the Motor Psycho cart. Also just ordered loose Basketbrawl, Fatal Run, and Scrapyard Dog for what I consider very decent loose price as well. I'm filling in my more rare 7800 titles now and ebay really ain't ALL bad if you're diligent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassGuitari Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 $90 for Basketbrawl? $100+ for Motor Psycho? These aren't THAT rare, are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+GoldenWheels Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 $90 for Basketbrawl? $100+ for Motor Psycho? These aren't THAT rare, are they? I don't think so--but those are fairly usual NIB prices for them on ebay. Don't even get me started on Mean 18. A game I really want for nostalgia purposes but am totally unwilling to pay the ridiculous asking prices for. Even loose (my preference actually) it's ridiculous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky for me I'm happy with loose cartridges. Mean 18 has got to be the most in-demand golf game ever. I have to believe it's purely to do with its rarity. However good a golf game it may be...it's still a golf game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+GoldenWheels Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Yeah Mean 18 and Tank Command seem to be the most expensive 7800 games. I doubt eithers price has anything to do with how good they are...if that was how it worked Joust should be like, a million bucks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm the idiot that payed for it....LoL ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
