Found my old Master System

[weasel]

As per the title, complete with box, inserts and a three games (boxed with instructions) and 2 unboxed games, 2 control pads and I assume all the old wiring and leads etc.

Anyone any idea roughly what it's worth?

100 GBP?

Depends which version - the original is generally worth more than the second one. Also depends what games & box. £50-150. Chuck up a couple of pics

It's worth keeping!

Will take some pics on Monday, is in the folks old house.

The games that I can remember were Alien 3 and some platform game that was shite (that should narrow it down)

Alex The Kid… now that does bring memories back!

 

[edd_jedi]

Yeah all depends on condition really, anything from £50 to £150 (plus what the games are)

Could well be that. I do remember buying that as a kid and expecting it to be brilliant, **** was I disappointed. I think it got played about 4 times.

Alex the kid was built into the MS we bought and me and the Mrs were obsessed with completing it the kids were as well so it was a family thing we loved it for that reason

The fact it was built in does ring a bell. Did some console not come with duck shoot or "Quackshot" built in?

 

[lejackal]

Duck hunt was packed in with the NES Action Set

 

[weasel]

That's the one. My brother has one and we loved duck hunt..........for half an hour until the novelty value wore off then we never played it again.

Pictures.


The box is in as good condition as you see, no tears or scuffs sneakily hidden from shot (I just CBA to take 6 pictures of one box) one game is missing, I have the box which is.....useful. And one game is missing its box. There were a few auld copies of Sega Pro, Sega Power and some other magazine as well. I assume they are all priceless!?

Any ball park figures on value are appreciated. Needless to say I know I could get double or half depending on luck and obviously I will be straight off to eBay without even thanking you lot and listing it with BIN of £60,000.

And despite loading them up in order they are now in a random hodge podge

Nice mate! Those magazines bring back memories

I would personally sell the magazines in one lot together, you might get £25-50 for them. The boxed console is in nice condition so I would say that is worth £75-100. Sonic 2 and Alien 3 are fairly worthless (under £10 each) so I would just include them with the console personally, but I would list the Wonderboy box/manual separately as I bet somebody with only the cart would pay £15-20 for it.

Although as I would say with vintage toys, is it worth parting with your childhood stuff for £100ish? You'll never get them back!

 

[lejackal]

pretty much what Edd said

 

[weasel]

Cheers guys.


TBH I never really played with it much. My brother got a NES/Super NES and the games on it were a **** tonne better. We played them to death. The Master system pretty much sat there.

No immediate plans to flog it, just clearing the folks house out and wanted to know what it was worth.

Cheers

Never had one when i was younger, but a friend lent me theirs when I was really ill. Loved it and played Shinobi all the time! Bought one off of eBay in the early 2000's
