Gauging interest in retro console collection

danwalton · 03-04-2006, 2:51 PM

Hi, I've decided to sell off some of my retro console collection due to space limitations. Ideally I'd like to sell the machines on to people who will appreciate them (ie, people from this forum) rather than putting them on eBay.

Before I do so, I would just like to get an idea of whether anyone here would be interested or not really.

A lot, but not all, of the machines are boxed, ranging from the 8 to 32 bit era and are in varying conditions (but all work).

Just wondered how much interest there would be?
Many thanks for looking!

I would love to, but I have just sold my N64 which was the last of my 7+ retro consoles I have sold on ebay. I miss them all, but it's nice to have the space back, and I'm looking forward the playing all the games again on the Nintendo Revolution!

So yes I would love to, but no I can't buy any off you :-( I'm sure you will find a good home with some of the forum mebers though!

Depending on the time scale of selling for me - i.e. if you sell it now, I have no spare money after spending three figures on amiga equipment in the last few weeks.

If you don't sell straight away, I'm sure there would be stuff I would be interested in, and possibly one of my friends who also posts on this forum.

Best thing to do is to detail a list of all the stuff to get it all into perspective, games included if possible

What kind of things would you be interested in particularly? Might be best if you want to PM me a list of things if you want to?

Do you have any home computing stuff as well as consoles. T-Bone's post about Amiga's has reminded me, I'm always on the lookout for Amiga or Atari Stuff!

Do you have any bit like that to get rid of?

I think there's an Amstrad CPC with monitor, but it is actually pretty much all console stuff...

I'd be interested if you have any PC Engine stuff.

Especially a reasonably priced Duo or Duo R

I need to replace my defunct White PCE

Also might be interested in some SNES stuff if you have anything.

Just to keep you updated guys, I am still intending to sell off my collection but I haven't had time to sort it all out yet although I have just listed a couple of Limited Edition GBA SPs if anyone's interested:
