No problem. Happy to help where and when I can.

BTW: I looked into the Sega Saturn lot a bit, mainly because I like to learn about stuff I don't know, in case I bump into one myself. The Saturns don't seem to be as popular as the Genesis, but if it works, I don't see any reason why you couldn't get $25 -$35 on eBay for it. Bundling it with the Genesis lot is pretty well a crapshoot. Bundles like that seem to sometimes sell for more, sometimes don't. Really depends on the interested buyers. Some folks are only interested in the one system and don't want to deal with having the other around.

I think it's eBay's newer fee structure which has caused a lot of the downturn in vintage video game sales (that and the fact that some of the more popular vintage games can be gotten on XBOX Live Marketplace and PSN). They certainly don't seem to be selling for what they used to sell for. A couple years back, you could easily get $100 for the Genesis lot you had listed. They aren't cheap to ship and being that eBay now charges sellers a fee on shipping rates as well as raising the regular rates, it drove a lot of sellers away, which also tends to drive buyers away because there isn't as many options anymore. Plus being that a lot of older systems seem to have some issues with newere TVs, many folks who otherwise might, don't seek them out which the price down because it's not in demand anymore. Such instances haven't just effected vintage gaming sales either. It's a lot of different items.

Ditto on the craigslist idea avoid all the fees and hassles... assuming you can't work something out with someone on this forum (always better to sell to a fellow game enthusit if you ask me).
