Something I'm looking to buy, and the guy selling them has asked to make offers but I haven't a clue what they're worth so I don't want to over price or feel cheeky by going too low. So what would you say they are worth?



  1. Super Nintendo -Boxed, 1 Controller, Street Fighter II Game & Manuals, & Power Supply
  2. Super Nitendo Control Deck - Boxed with TMNT game, x2 controllers, Manuals & Power Supply
  3. N64 - Boxed, x1 Controller, Power Pack, Manual, & Power Supply
  4. Sega Megadrive, Boxed, x1 Controller and Power supply.
  5. ZX Spectrum, Boxed, Approx 30 game Cassettes, Power Supply, Joystick
  6. x2 Additional Controllers - x1 Sega Megadrive (boxed) & x1 N64

FFs, this bloke, now he is saying he doesn't think it was a genuine offer. As i was only originally interested in the N64 & Megadrive I offered him £170 + p&p said it's too low.

non of them worth a massive amount, the spectrum would be worth the most, your offer was reasonable imo

Seriously, £50 the lot. I honestly don't think any of them are worth anything.

I have a Sega Megadrive and MegaCD. Bought them about 14 years ago from Cash Converters for £20. Can't see them being worth anything neither.

Thinking about it... I sold my Megadrive with about 30 games, 4 joypads and a bunch of other stuff for £200 about 18 years ago.
Back then, they were worth something...

Also have two C64's sitting in my loft... wish they were worth monies. Still got the receipt for one of them... £400... brand new... from 1988.

Free yourself from needing to own stuff. You won't use them spend money on something useful imo
