Whats a boxed NTSC Espial (NIB) worth?

Recommended Posts

A year ago I would have said $50 but it seems to be reaching the $200 now. The Tigervision games seem to be very sought after CIB.

It may even fetch over $200 if u were to place it up on ebay. I think its along the same rarity as Spriinger and Miner 2049er Volume 2 and i was desperate enough to pay about $275 for my Springer and i really don't regret it i rarely see a loose Springer or Espial .....although Espial i do see a wee bit more. If Homer had to offer $65 before someone found him a loose one i would say a complete would definitely fetch $200 or more if the hefty bidders like Toymailman, Decypher, or a newbie that i have been noticing going after the completes Dragoduby. I am really glad i have mine already so i don't have to compete with these guys LOL.

Yes I would say over $200 sounds about right.

Silly people, you are inflating prices between yourselves!

 

About four years ago, some 100 or so NIB copies were found, in Canada, I think. A game of which so many were uncovered, cannot be worth that much cash. A matter of time / patience and some good contacts in the community will get you a copy of this (and all Tigers) at a much more decent price.

 

Don't let yourselves be caught in the rat race!

 

Cheers,

Marco

I'll vouch for this, as it's where I got mine. I think he was selling them for $50 a pop.

 

Did he find others? I only remember Espial...

You wouldn't have to worry about me on this one as I have a CIB Espial (thanks to the 5th Ghost!). Fair game on the others though! :)

Well not sure if Dragoduby has found out about Atari Age yet ......looks like Decypher may have a shot on it then. I sure wanted that Ram It complete in box! :(

Hey! Who you callin' a newbie! I started collecting in the early 1990's. I amassed a gigantic collection by buying, selling and trading. My rarest game was The Alligator People prototype which later turned out to be Planet of The Apes (who knew). I purchased it as part of this collection in 1996. I later sold my collection including a Boxed River Patrol, Music Machine, Cubicolor, A complete Malagai, a mint never folded Chuckwagon Box, A complete Rescue Terra I, lots of prototypes, Magicard, all the Bomb carts complete, Video Reflex, Video Jogger, a boxed Foot Craz controller and lots more. I did it to help pay for school. Now schools out, so let the bidding begin! ;)

 

Hmm pulls my foot out of my mouth.........didn't know that dude i just noticed this new bidder on ebay and just assumed they were a newbie. Didn't mean to offend!

No offense taken. Selling my collection was a smart investment. When I compare prices between then and now, most of the prices haven't changed, except for some of the rarer boxed items.

 

I still can't believe I acquired the Alligator People (Planet of the Apes) Prototype for only $4.00. I challenge anyone to beat that deal!

 

I thought you already knew who I was because you asked me about the Cubicolor I bought on eBay. :D

I know I have seen a CIB Music Machine on Ebay a LONG LONG time ago, I was not really a collector then but was still interested in the hobby and knew that it was a very rare game.

I sold about 100 NIB Espial for around $20 each in 1996.

 

Anyone have a time machine? :)

Well I guess ebay will tell us what its worth... :) Interested to see this one. Few (if any) of my boxed games have gone up in value. I think for the most part the collection is worth less than I paid for it. Not really an issue but interesting as a trend. This is one that might sell for more than I have in it for a change! No, mine is not for sale, just seen a lot of hype lately of people needing it.
