$500 for all of it sounds alright considering the current market, also all of those consoles have good video games to play in their libraries, stop being entitled despite your dad working hard to not only make money, but still buy you stuff out of love, you have a cool dad, be grateful and be sure to appreciate him, while you still can, so you have no regrets in the future.

I know it's hard to break from that mindset
but it's literally literally not a lot of money not anymore
it's about to become worth even less


heres a QRD:
tg16 complete with all parts/covers around $240
master system $100+
dreamcast $100ish
atari 2600 4 switch $60-100

assuming you got even a handful of games you are still net positive
got systems/titles that were adult owned and stored in a bug free environment

Sounds like a troll thought since you said 2 beloved consoles had no good games which is super wrong.

Based on your description and picture, this isn't like the steal of the century or anything, but your dad got a pretty decent price on the lot, you'd easily go way past $500 if you were to try to buy just each of these individual systems online, without the included games.

2600 games are a bit too 'understated' for my own tastes, but there's tons of good shit on the others which I can vouch for. Some flashcarts and some burnable discs and you have over a decade of entertainment right there. Just dust these things off and hook them up.

>>10630704
Wasn't a lot of money a decade ago, but some people insist they're still entitled to buy this kind of stuff for pennies, simply because you could back in 1999 and the market wasn't supposed to change, dammit!
The speculator bubble aside, this shit was never going to remain dirt cheap forever, that's just not how the world works.

>>10630981
Pac-Man's another good one, the NES port is basically arcade perfect. I'd ask for the TurboGfx-16 or Genesis if you don't have one of those already.

>>10631298
Yeah, it's a bunch of legwork and time to make it really worth to flip. If he's lucky he could MAYBE get $700 out of this stuff in total, but that may take time via fleamarkets. I'd say just clean the stuff up and keep it, videogames are for enjoying.

tl;dr tell your dad that this is a pretty good score for just having this stuff, but that this could be a bother to make it truly worth it as a business transaction.

It's true, unfortunately, especially when it comes to goods with perceived eventually resale value. Even basic commodities are going up, but the idea of putting money into something which can be easily resold and which will likely go up in value at a rate which exceeds inflation is extremely appealing, and is why even borderline normalfags have no problem throwing down hundred in old games.
