Stan Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Just an interest and pricing check on this. I have a Philips CD-i. The unit is loose but complete. All of the games, however, are complete in their original boxes. I'd have to look through them, but you get basically every game they released for the thing. I don't believe all 137 are here, I'm counting 72, but I'll look around for more in case someone wants me to. Anyway, just curious what someone would be willing to pay for the unit and 72 of its library (all complete don't forget). This is mainly a price check before I throw this on eBay unless someone is really interested in any of it. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the.golden.ax Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 A couple hundred, or I'd bid on eBay, hard to say without a list and seeing it. AX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 What do they generally seem to go for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anicetyguy Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 What both of you said (...but I have a CIB & 2 loose with a few less games) - subscribed & bump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lastcallhall Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 What I want to know is how did you manage to get even 72 of them? That system came and went in what, a month or two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouLee7th Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I have a nearly complete set. I have every North American game release, a bunch of the imports, and need ONE title to finish my set, but can't find it anywhere. So if either of you have NFL Instant Replay and want to sell it, please let me know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 They actually kept the system going until 1998 for some reason. Going to have to hold on guys, I can't seem to get it working. I think it's just the controller since it powers up and shows the games and all, but I fear the worst. Mods, please lock or delete this thread, I can post again later if I get it working.

the.golden.ax Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 The system isn't the main draw anyway, it's the software. So I'd still have an interest even if it wasn't working. AX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austin Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Stan, if you consider splitting it up, I am looking for a handful of CD-i games, maybe more. I have PayPal funds ready to go depending on the price (I orded a system last week and have a wanted thread here). *edit: If you want to estimate what yours may go for if you decide to bundle it all together, here is a similar one with 60 games that was just listed. Maybe let it roll out and see what it goes for? eBay Auction -- Item Number: 200564507966 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 I can make a list of all the games first if you want. A number of these are actually just some of those weird Encyclopedia, Tell Me Why, and so forth discs. As for the games, doesn't seem to be anything too exciting in there other than the one Zelda title, but that seems to be mainly a 'so bad it's good' sort of thing.

hex65000 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I'm also interested in getting into the CDi. Especially after reading through the Retro Gamer article on it. I remember ads for Burn: Cycle when I was younger and those crazy cyberpunk days are like fond memories to me. So yeah, interested in the whole rig here. Ah, but that was a previous life... Hex.

LouLee7th Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I know I'm in the minority on this, but it was a GREAT system, nostalgia aside. Mystic Midway (the first one) was an incredibly fun game, I loved their Pinball game, before Winning Post came out for the Saturn, A Great Day at the Races was the only horse racing game out for any system in North America, I also loved their versions of Clue and Defender of the Crown. My guilty pleasure was Name That Tune, although it was mostly 70's and 80's soft rock, it was still a pretty cool game. I'm telling you, it wasn't THAT bad.

jesusc Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 (edited) I always say I've never seen a system that didn't have at least a few games on it that were worth playing. But then, I've never seen a VIS. Edited January 13, 2011 by jesusc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the system too, I wrote a review guide for it which I have put up on a couple of forums, maybe I should post it on AA too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 The auction I posted above is up to $350 with 60 games. Two bids, four days left.. So, by the looks of it so far, you could at least get that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Climber Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I say keep it in the family and sell it all in one shot to Hex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 Hahhaha. I don't know I think this thing's shot. I'll eventually get to the games, I'm focusing on selling my Master System stuff at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 The auction that had a comparable amount of games went for $560 in the end. So I'm guessing you could be looking at $400 - $600 for the lot, perhaps, even with a dead system (or without it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 Man, I forgot about this. I ended up just selling the lot to a friend who actually owns a CD-i. Been focusing too much on getting rid of my extra SMS stuff that I forgot to update the thread. Mods can lock now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
