Price/Interest Check: Full GameCube Collection

FantomexFantomex
in Price Check
I have a full Gamecube collection i am looking to possibly sell.  Trying to figure the value and if there is any interest in buying a full collection.  I have to double check but im missing somewhere around 35 manuals. Every game is in original case with original cover art.  Includes Metroid Prime/Windwaker Combo, Resident Evil Anniversary pak, Resident Evil Pure Evil Pak, Mario Party 6 and 7 are both with big outter box.  Pokemon Box does not have big outter box.  Out of the manuals that are missing i think the only high value one is Disney Sports Basketball. If anyone could help with am approx. value? If anyone is interested feel free to shoot me a PM, personally id rather not ship it all, so prefferably semi local.

    Yes.  Ebay is holding back on them and not cooperating.  Hasnt been updated since Dec 2017.

    I'd say around $6000, there's only been 1 full set sold in the last couple years on eBay and it went for about $6800 I believe but that was like 2 years ago and 100% complete with big boxes

    2 years ago prices were A LOT different on the gamecube...

    Yeah prices have gone way up since then on a lot of titles. Even the first party games like mario party's are up from then.

    Demand is always the big question. Of course, it's just a natural progression of kids aging into adulthood, getting some extra cash being gainfully employed and wanting to start collecting. The real demand question is how many people can afford the cash to buy a set out-right that aren't just resellers like Lukie Games who divide up and sell the lots like this that they buy and deem profitable.



    Looking at GVNs total value of $7270 and looking at the average price chart on Price Charting, my hunch is that a complete set is probably still worth about $7,000 BUT you have to consider that this is always a mark up. Complete sets always go for less for a couple of reasons. For one, few people can afford them. Second, even for serious collectors, few want to out-right buy a complete set, unless they are just getting started and only have 20-30 games they feel they may easily be able to unload.



    That being said, I'm going to guess that you could probably quick-sale this for $6,000 (assuming everything is in great shape) and if you were willing to wait it out for the right buyer, maybe you could get $6,500-6,800. Personally, I think if you put it on eBay for $7,000, it'd sit for a while unless you get lucky and that one person with a pocket full of cash just decides to drop the bread for an immediate score.



    EDIT



    I forgot to factor into my calculations that Price Charting is also including PAL titles and, possibly, Japanese titles in those numbers.  Since many of those games are cheaper, it could mean that the average NA collection could be worth more.  Maybe $6,500 for a quick sale, a good chance of sale at $6,800-7,200 and a top, "if you're lucky", price of as much as $8,000.
