linchpind Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Trying to come up with a price on what my lynx collection is worth. May I post some pics here or is that not allowed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jgkspsx Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 You can ask, but you could also just go to pricecharting.com and come up with a number you are comfortable with. If you’re selling a lot you will want to mark it down by at least 10% from individual item prices. Few people here keep track of prices except for specific things we are looking for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeatari1 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 I personally use GAMEYE for keeping track of my systems and pricing info. It's available for iOS and Android. It has a great interface and is pretty easy to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4ever2600 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Also a loaded question. Def post pics and list. Some people's 'collection' consists of a lynx and 12 games others have every game ever collected including hardware and homebrews. You see the difference... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+GoldLeader Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 I'll give ya $20 for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesleyrpgAust Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 depends on what you class as a collection? Do you have all 71/76 Games? Are they all boxed? New/Unopened? Working? Some games are quite rare, but not impossible to find. Zaku and Lemmings are worth heaps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linchpind Posted May 29, 2022 Author Share Posted May 29, 2022 All, Thank you for the reply's! Here are some pics of everything. The screens work, but seem a little faded form when I bought the systems brand new. Sound is nice and loud out of both units. All buttons work on both consoles. I bought a lot of this stuff when I worked at Electronics Boutique back in the 90's. From my research it seems that the only rare games I have are Double Dragon and the Missie/Asteroids game. The systems don't have a whole lot of use and everything has been sitting unused in a closet for the past 20+ years. The model 1 was the version that has the flaky paint job from the factory that wore off so I took it apart and sanded the faceplate and sprayed it with black engine paint. Looks good actually. Never got around to painting the back side of it like I wanted to. I'm looking to sell it all, perferrebly all together instead of piecing it all out. I just don't have time for the hobby anymore and the wife is nagging me to clean out the closet that all my old video game stuff is in. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFG 9000 Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Here's the issue: it would take anybody here a few hours to research an accurate value for these particular items in this particular condition. It doesn't take any sort of knowledge of Atari stuff or Lynx stuff to figure a price - just go to pricecharting and ebay and start looking up sales histories. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jeremiahjt Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 I love that you have the original receipt. The problem selling it as a lot is that collectors will already have most of that stuff. You have a few games I want, but I would not pay what it is worth since I have the vast majority of the stuff already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jgkspsx Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 It is an AMAZING collection, @linchpind. The original versions of Double Dragon, Desert Strike, and Super Off Road with manuals will be worth a lot, probably at least $75 each if not $100, to the right buyer. Lemmings and Super Asteroids/Missile Command with the manuals will sell for $150 each or more on eBay. You have some other games that are uncommon and sought after like Joust, Warbirds, Ninja Gaiden, Battlewheels, etc. Those might be worth selling separately too. If you want to maximize profit, list everything separately. If you don’t want to do that much work, do two bundles on eBay, one for each Lynx with a case, and half of the common games each. Then sell the six games I listed separately for a buy it now of 25% more than I said and accept offers. Auctions can go higher than market but are much more likely to go for less than BIN. If you want to maximize good karma, I would sell them in the marketplace here for 20% below pricecharting or more. You will be saving eBay’s massive cut anyway. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesleyrpgAust Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 I agree with jgkspsx and separate the gems with the commons. Out of all your titles, Lemmings, Double Dragon, Desert Strike, Super Off Road, and Super Asteroids/Missile Command are all worth a small fortune and should be sold off separately. Next is the RARE but not impossible to find Titles......that would be Joust, Warbirds, Ninja Gaiden, Battlewheels, and Checkered Flag. Be vigilant, hop onto to pricecharting and do you research on the prices you can charge for the RARE individual titles. Dump the rest in a job lot, the others are worth peanuts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadest Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Nice collection ! I would not call Battlewheels rare, at least until the french brand new stock has gone away... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t either, but shipping to the US isn’t cheap if that’s all you’re ordering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjabba Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Awesome collection indeed! Pity that shipping to Europe is stupid expensive these days.. You sure you don't want to stay around with all these amazing new homebrew releases coming out? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jgkspsx Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 You could just keep one and a few of your favorite games… the Lynx has one of the best and most fun homebrew scenes around… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually still cheaper than postage fees from US to France In fact, il also depends on postage options you use, as you can use letter tarif for under 3cm, it can be cheap but risky. As a small business, I am lucky anouch to be able to send real parcel with letter rates (it is a service from french post to small business - counterpart is that there is only minimal insurance - hence the very protective care I try to put in parcel, and extra protector box) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axe Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 I don't think you should sell. I regreted selling my far more modest collection back in the day. Maybe just give it a bit more thought or agree to store it somewhere where it doesn't get in the way perhaps? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilsaluki Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 LOVE the Babbage's Receipt! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesleyrpgAust Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 I agree with the others and also think you shouldn't sell. Your really close to a complete collection and i'd track down the missing titles and keep it as a complete set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linchpind Posted June 3, 2022 Author Share Posted June 3, 2022 I want to thank you all for the replies. I'll probably separate the sought after games and sell them individually. I've been thinking about selling this for a while and I could use the funds for other things right now. I'm at a different spot in my life right now and I just don't have the time to enjoy it. I'm also looking around at my PC Engine/'TG-16 collection, my PSP collection, and even some of my nintendo stuff. Its all been sitting unused for years. I'll try to list some of the games in the for sale section and avoid ebay if at all possible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of those titles are very sought after and the members here would appreciate it and it avoids ebay's horrendeous fees. I'd also be keen on seeing your TG-16 stuff that you will have up for sale! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see what he is asking for Double Dragon too as I need a second copy for Comlynx. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
