How much would a sega megadrive be worth today?

StevieNicksFan

A mate of mine is moving out of home and while he was moving his stuff he found his old sega megadrive (circa 1990-1991 or so) plus a load of games (about 20). He has a Back to the Future game, Batman, f1 racing and the usuals like sonic, among others. I'm just wondering if it would be worth his while selling it. He says he is kinda stuck for space in his new house, which is a shame cause it would be such a laugh playing it. As far as he knows it is in full working order but has yet to check all the games. Anyone know how much it would be worth? He also has a NES but i think it bit the dust a long time ago

Nes are fixable dont throw em out! even the case can be used to restore back one thats broken. depending on games he would get a few quick for the megadrive maybe 40ish or so. id be interested in the games if he is selling em, send me a pm.

I bought my md om Adverts with a load of sports games for €15
But sports games are worth f all on fairness
eBay will give you an accurate value
Follow the auctions for the games
But remember a cart only is worth ALOT less than cib

Agree with Cathal. How much you get largely depends on the condition and how quickly you want to sell it. I'd say a megadrive with 20 games, assuming it has all the leads and 2 pads and not too many of them are sports games would fetch about 50 but i would definitely look up everything on ebay first. Some games are a lot rarer than others and you may find one game, even if it's only a cartridge could fetch up to a tenner or more. As for the NES, you could probably clean it up and at worst it will need a new 72 pin connector.

ebay is best place to check what they are selling for. i would also like to know what games you have for sale on both systems, that is if kieth isn't interested in them. you could put an ad in buy and sell you never know there may be christmas shoppers on the lookout for stuff already.

A Megadrive is worth between 30 and 40 with a few games.
The other games will depend on condition and rarity, Google is your friend.
The Nes is easily repaired, the part costs in the region of a tenner, the machie is also worth in the region of 30 to 40.
