    I can't post a link, but there is a good sale of GC titles on the go in Adverts.
    I'm looking at Geist and Odama myself.
    Thing is he's looking for 50 for Kirbys Air Ride.
    Can this be a true value? I have it, bought it for next to nothing when the GC tanked and never gave it much time, controls are "interesting" to say the least.

    I think he looking at changing some of the prices. 60 for Kirby is a lot! 20-30 looks to be its value.

    I think it's worth a little more than 20 now.

    I was after it for ages and £28 was the cheapest I seen it go for, excluding postage.

    His current value is excessive though.

    Okay maybe 20 is a bit low but i wouldn't pay more than 30. The completed listings are between 20-30

    That's fair enough but it will be very hard getting it a good condition for that price through the usual routes.

    Collectable rubbish however. It's simple enough, nothing great, nothing truely awful.

    Here's a bargain in the UK I've been looking at for a while. Sadly it's collection only. It'd be worth a trip over with a van though.

    He say it's a 'project' cab. But the only thing that's wrong with it is the sound has gone on the PCB. It even has a new monitor

    Hey now, I never said they were good. One annoying thing about the CDI is that the one game that looks good for it Zenith, there isn't a 'back-up' available for it that actually works and it happens to be really rare. I get the feeling nobody is stupid enough to own a CD-i so nobody has downloaded it and told people the dump isn't working :)

    Just saying in case people think it's actually good. It's mario kart for babies.

    It's pretty poor alright, I mean, it looks the part but the controls are very very odd.
    On a controller with many available buttons the whole thing uses just one, for everything!
    Braking, Sliding, Attacks, Speed ups, it's completely mad.

    Mario Kart for Babies?
    I don't know, the controls actually become less intuitive when you have to remember the method of initiating a powerslide.
    I must give it another lash and remind myself why I barely played it!

    Nice auction here,
    €80 seems fine but €70 would be a good price for the collection,

    Not sure if serious:p

    The console's not worth more than 20-30. I sold a beautiful woody 2600 on adverts over the summer and was only able to get €30 for the thing.

    I'd say its worth around €50/€60, seeing as some of the games are 2600 games.

    Including tha games, you'd be spot on with that price.

    Worth keeping an eye on anyway. I've noticed lately we seem to be getting a lot of random mentallers coming along and offering way more than stuff is worth.

    well if a game was made over 15 years ago then clearly is it RARE!

    Yep, age automatically equals rarity and value.

    Hey, I am whats I am...
    40 and happy.
    Happier at 40 than I was at 30.
    Happier at 40 than when I was 20 as well!
    Plus I'm 40 and, not to be too soppy, I have a cracking 8 year old son who is busy playing Kirby on the Wii, I'm so proud!

    But, nevertheless, my eBay auction would inevitably say...
    RARE! OLD! HARD TO COME BY!
    40 year old!
    Slightly used,
    Some surface scratches but nothing that interferes with normal function.
    Has a habit of going into stand-by (falls asleep) when playing racing games after 10pm...
    Comes with several bottles of charger (red bull-analogue).




    Oh, and instead of being like you losers, who, if you're lucky enough to be in a job, will be working for the next 30/40 years, I get to retire in another 14/15 years!
    So I'll be kicking back, playing videogames (the PS2 will be finally retro) and doing some painting while you guys are slaving away!

    Tabletop games seem to have jumped up in price in the last few years , I remember picking up most of mine for €5-20 max (and the more expensive ones were boxed with instructions).
    The starting price seems to be 30+ these days!!
