Amazing collection.
Unfortunately it is hard to put a price on those things, everybody would have a different opinion. The number of people actually interested in buying them is rather small and because of that prices can fluctuate a lot. I honestly wouldn't know where to start. You could put them on auction but that is also "risky".


(I would myself be interested in some (SG-1000 variation, SC-3000, FG-2000) if you want to post/PM pictures, but having lived in Japan the sort of prices I'd be willing to pay is probably lower than average. I can tell you the sort of price I'd be willing to pay but that doesn't mean anything in the grand scheme of things.).

I agree that it's tricky to put a price on such items, and that's exactly why I'm asking this question on the forum.
Of course I checked ebay (including the sold listing) and yahoo auctions, and that gives me a rough idea, but sometimes the prices vary so much, and some seem really weird.
Like everyone I'd be happy to get the most money out of these, but I don't want to have auctions seat on ebay for months waiting for the one guy ready to spend a fortune because I over-evaluated my collection. At the same time, I don't want to lose money either, most of what I have I bought on yahoo auctions over the years, meaning that I paid a commission to a third party and expensive shipping charges to Europe.

Maybe I should formulate my question differently: indicate a price for each item and ask if it seems fair or not?

I'll PM you about your 'below than average' prices, it's always good to have opinions.

Cheers

Salut Quadratic!

To me, the biggest problem are today´s shipping costs. I stil need a CIB 3-D glasses, the SG Commander, a CIB Sports Pad and a Handle Controller to get all official peripherals, but two years ago I stopped to look for them because the online price range feels deterring. Today, I should pay a fortune of about 80-90€ minimum to get every single item =( Prices like 50€ including shipping are impossible now.

If I would be you, I would try to remember what I paid myself for all those things. Then, you slightly increase these prices to get a little bonus, and it should be fair enough for you and for your buyers. That´s the way I´m doing it when I rarely sell something and it works well - it doesn´t take too long to find buyers.

I have a request, I hope somebody can help.

Are the japanese controllers (like the Handle Controller for example) compatible with PAL Master Systems? Usually yes, but I just want to make sure.

Thanks :D

The handle controller acts as a regular controller, so it's 100% compatible. It was released in Europe, too. The paddle is physically compatible but the software doesn't support it without a region mod.
