Esplin Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Seems a bit steep for me. But then again I am just a casual collector who gets the games for the fun factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATARIPITBULL Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Geez, I could never imagine a NEW in Box 6'er would go for so much... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...p;rd=1&rd=1 Largo. First off I smell B.S. with this auction and I bet the buyer wont even pay for it and if he does, then I want a word with him because I have a new in the box sixer I will sell to him for just $2500.00 if he is dumb enough to pay for it.

zonaps2 Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Sold for $5100!!! Insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trade-N-Games Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 I just found a mint in box Brand new inside 4 switch system but the seler opened it. I guess I could glue it shut and who could tell the diff. It was a better box than my personal one so I will be keeping it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrazyKaiju Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Now some enterprising guy in Taiwan will start reprinting heavy sixer boxes and filling them with bricks. As long as he sells them as factory sealed, no one will ever know. Seriously, why does a factory sealed box command such a premium over a complete mint in box set? Anybody can hot glue a flap shut. I see this all the time on eBay and it drives me nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see this all the time on eBay and it drives me nuts. believe me you can tell the diff. I've been ripped before on a *sealed* unit, I inspect the crap outta them. I have 3 sealed boxes now, one a heavy sixer, chess piece on the front, and gray/silver lettering instead of white! Mine has apparently shot up in value And there's no doubt in my mind it's sealed, no creases on any flaps and tight. I think this is becoming a new market.

homerwannabee Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Wow $5,100 is insane for a system that might not be a true sealed Heavy Sixer. The auction does not even say that it is. What is suprising is that someone with really good feadback bid $4,800. Now it becomes a wait game to see if this guy actually is legit.

Hendra Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 OP, you should modify your title and change it to $5100. Your thread will get even more attention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prodos8 Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 ...get rid of the 'sixter' bit too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Largo2000 Posted July 15, 2007 Author Share Posted July 15, 2007 Allright. I agree. This title sux. As a newbie, I was not aware that this might not be a sixter inside... (good thing I did not bid ). At that price anyway, I would have to sell my car and maybe the house too... So now, the question remains: what is a fair value for a legit NIB 6 switch unit? $5,100? No way to tell if a sixter or not I guess... why no weight the box and unit? - there should be a difference in weight? - Largo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prodos8 Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 (edited) Its heavy 'sixer' okay -- not heavy 'sixter' like you've been posting. No disrespect intended, just wanted to let you know. On this one its probably a heavy-sixer, they did weigh it and there's no serial number on the box which would seem to indicate that it is. It may be a taiwan unit though, as its in the later box w/out chess piece. Still not worth anywhere near $5k IMO.

I was not born back then... Hence, from now: sixer...! Seriously, I gotta buy mine so I am looking around. I now have all in box (colecovision, Nes Deluxe, SNES, N64, PSOne, PS2, Xbox, GC). However, the "sixer" is the one that offers the most "collectible" value in my eyes... Especially a sixer in box... So, what do you think is a FAIR price for something in that auction? - Largo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
