Ahoy there
been a while since i've been collecting, and have decided to sell some of my rare items as i'm in need of money, so I'm offering for sale an M82 multi-game display unit, from the UK.
Haven't taken any pictures yet, here's one yoinked off google just to give you an idea if needed:
*please note this picture is NOT my unit, it is an example photo from google*
I was thinking of Ebaying it, and probably will if there are no takers here, mostly I'm posting here for advice on what to ask for it (while giving people here the option of making a sensible offer :P )
The unit thats for sale is in need of some attention, as it has suffered a bit over the years. When it came into my possession it was a little rough around the edges, the zapper gun has superficial damage (a crack along the barrel) and is the orange model, not the grey model i believe was originally shipped with. Also, only 2 of the 12 games that arrived in the unit were originals (original carts had no localisation code i believe).
I've cleaned the unit, and it works perfectly, so if somebody could advise me on:
1) an estimated price for the unit in the condition described above
or
2) an estimated value if i took some effort to restore it (replace the zapper, track down some original games, find and buy the orginal packaging etc.
it would be much appreciated :)
