Price Check : Game Boy Pocket AC Fiorentina Italian LE

Just out of curiosity, I'd like to price-check the LE Fiorentina Game Boy Pocket. Got one opened and 4 sealed. SN are extremely low (from 008 to 013). I may sell one if the price sounds good. If not I'll keep the box with all of them. It hasn't been cheap for me to acquire them.

This is the link to the object: http://www.assemblergames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11909

thanks!

Oh, well, I see that you have no clues, just like me!

 

Received 2 offers (I'll keep'em anonymous): 160 and 150 euros.
This is yet a price check for one copy, sealed.

 

I am not sure that 3000 were made, since the sn on the box is from 007 to 013 (and not 0007 to 0013).

Anyway, for 100 euros, I will not surely sell this sealed limited.
Thanks anyway!

 

I repeat what I wrote (you should read more carefully):
inside they say 0009 from 3000 but, since I've never seen another one and since on the shipping box, serials are 007 to 013, I presume that they didn't do more than 999 of these. Speculation, just speculation.

Anyway, if I had to sell one, I would never go under 200 euros. That's for sure.

 

It sold. It sold to me. And he had this little stock that I've bought! He had this loose one that nobody saw plus, not auctioned, 4 sealed ones. Anyway, I'm not going to sell it for less than 200 euros. Make them 3000 or 999.

 

?????

You know, sometimes you may find on ebay something that it's worth more than what you are paying. Call it luck.
I've found an unreleased Genesis title for 20 bucks on ebay. 1 snes and 1 gb test carts for 14 usd. A psx debug unit for about 20 euros and so on.
What about the time when I've bought a lot of Atari 2600 titles (not on ebay) for less than 40 cents each and sold them on ebay for 70 euros each?
Or the game & watches crystal screen bought for 20 euros, sold for 300?

Call it rip-off. Then, I think that a pretty decent percentage of collectors usually rip-off people this way. Wait, I think that 100% of ebay sellers are working this way (or would like to).
Buy at less, sell at more. Invest money to have money to collect more. Not for profit, but for a self-mantained hobby.

Not trying to convince anyone to buy my crap for 4x what I've paid. It's not necessary to buy from me. And I am not selling it at the moment. I was just curious on how much value you would give to this object.

I would never sell it for less than 200 euros. This is not the value. This is the money I would ask to let it go.

Peace.

 

...and excuse me for being rough with my first reply to your objection

 

Hang on now WindowsKiller, you can't question someones pricing on something hard to get hold of. What was nicola supposed to do? say "well I won it for €40, but let me give you €200 instead"?

People buy low and sell high all the time, I dare say if you won them for €40 a piece you wouldn't be offering them for much less.

 

it is worth at the very least 200 euros, but if i owned one i wouldn't go lower for sure. there must be some serious collector of GB limited editions, and you can rest assured that there are VERY few alive of those nowadays.

 

Thanks

 

I may have to sell one to make some christmas presents.
What should I do? Open a new topic? Rename this one? Make a fixed price or an auction? I've read the rules and it looks like it's possible to make an auction here.

Thanks!

 

you can make a new topic with a name like

"for sale: limited edition gameboy A.C. Fiorentina one of X (x is the number of pieces)" inside put all the info you have about it and put a starting price. that's it people will make offers usually by PM.

good luck!

 

Yeah, setting price + "obo" (or best offer)

 

If you want an auction ASSEMBler has to approve it personally, same applies for closed offers, you have to either set a price or have people put offers openly in the thread unless Kev says otherwise, sorry. It's just to stop people saying "well someone offered me $20 more, will you better it?" when there is only one person interested. That sort of thing.

 

so I can do an open auction. For me it's the same.

Excuse me, but I've never sold anything here (bought many times) and I don't want to brake the rules

 

You would need to get Assembler's personal approval. To date he's limited auctions to truly rare and one-of-a-kind pieces.

A GBP LE that consists of 3,000 pieces isn't really in one of those categories, so I wouldn't be suprised if he turns it down.

If you want to do an auction, you could always put one on eBay and list it in the eBay thread.

If you post it up for sale here and someone offers the asking price, you have to sell it for the asking price.

Keeps the forum nice and efficient.

While anyone is always free to ask whatever they wish, asking for too much will simply result in no sales. I can point to a number of threads over the last year where folks started high and insisted on selling for a certain price only to lower their wares over time to the going market rate.

ok. I'll sell it with an asking price.

Thanks!
