lolwut Game & Watches are worth teh monehz

[Ampersand]

My dad gave me his Mario Bros. Multi Screen Game & Watch. They sell right now, working, for about $150 - $250.



Can't wait to find out what it's worth twenty years from now.

Re: What a Discovery. Thanks, Dad.

Anyone else here have a Game & Watch? Working condition?

I would sell it. Video game collectors tend to be people who grew up in that era, same with comic books. Once another 10 years have passed, a lot of those people will not be interested anymore, so the buying pool is best around now.

 

[epicelite]

Like pool tables, or swimming pool?

 

[Ampersand]

Yeah, I want to sell it now, but my dad kinda made a big deal of passing it down to me. I'd feel bad if I sold it

 

[zeturi]

Then why'd you check ebay?

It's always going to haunt you now.

 

[Twilight Wolf]

I wouldn't sell it. Me, I'd keep it and take care of it, especially if it's basically become an heirloom now.

Personally, though, I don't plan on getting rid of any of my gaming collection any time soon, if ever, unless I've got duplicates or something.

meh, I had one once. I bought it on eBay for about $130 and sold it a week later for $137. I played it once. It was fun. The end.

 

[Ampersand]

Haaa nice. Yeah it will haunt me, but meh I'll hold onto it for a long while, and even if interest in them dies, I'm sure a collector may come along who I can sell it to for buku bucks. If not, it can just be a family heirloom.

how come whenever my cousin has something valuable i don't steal it? he had a few of these when i was younger, they are long gone now...

My friend had a Game and Watch Donkey Kong but he lost it..."Flamboyant Homosexual"...

 

[Basement_Modder]

You could keep it in mint condition for the next 20 years and then sell it to a museum...

 

[J.D]

In 20 years you'll be able to sell an NES in a mueseum, lol

 

[Basement_Modder]

They'll be about 50 years old. Game&Warches will be about 55-60, and more rare.

 

[Bibin]

keep it.

If there's one Game & Watch that's actually fun to play for a while and has come-back-again replayability, it's Mario Bros.

 

[themadhacker]

that zelda one looks pretty fun, though.

My mum had one, I think it was that egg game or something. Might've had donkey kong too, it was orange, and had 2 screens, that's basically all I remember. I played it a few times when I was 5 (11 years ago), then she gave it away!!

I was so annoyed (I assume ).
