Hey all, I've grown a bit tired of my CD-i, and I'm thinking of selling my collection. It's got some nice gems in it. I preferably want to sell it i one lot. Now I've calculated that the total worth should be somehwere around 500-600 euro, Thinking of putting it up for auction at somewhere between 350-400 euro, do you all think that's realistic?
Thanks, Merijn

You'll regret selling it a few years later, believe me!

But if you really want to, I think you can make more money out of it when you sell each item seperately. Selling it all in one lot wants people to pay less. Still, if you get 400 euro for all that, it would surprise me. But then again, apparently there are people paying a lot for CD-i.

I agree, you WILL regret selling this wonderfull collection!

Selling the items separately will probably be a better idea (in the way that I think you will get more money for the items).

The real CD-I collector already has a lot of the items you are selling and is only interested in some of the more rare items (the other items are more or less worthless to them). For more casual cdi gamers the common games could have a nostalgic value, but the rarer game will not be worth that much more.
So I think that casual gamers won't pay much for the rare games and collectors won't pay anything for the common items. So selling both together would not be ideal.

But I would be very interested to see how it turns out if you try and sell the set for something like 400,- euros or so. But I think you may not sell it at all for that price.

I would sell the following "rare" items seperately:
Solar Crusade
Braindead 13
The Lost Ride
Creature Shock
Shaolin's Road
The Last Bounty Hunter
Crime Patrol 2 - Drug Wars

And maybe also these:
Kingdom Shadoan
Mag Dog 2 - The lost gold
Crime Patrol
Master Labyrinth
Marco Polo

But even if you sell them separately I do not think you will get that 500-600 euros. But I could be wrong.

Well the sum of it all is probably somewhere in the 500+ euro range if I did my math a bit correctly. So that's why i thought a 400 euro price would be realistic. But that would probably not attract a whole lot of people.. I just don't want to get in the hassle of selling everything seperately, shipping, having left over stock no-one want.. etc..

It is a nice collection isn't it..I haven't really done anything with it for the last 2 years, it's basically gathering dust, taking up space..but on the other hand it's some nice memories collected too...

Well I haven't made up my mind yet, but If I ever sell it I will make sure to let everyonehere know first;-)

My collection is gathering dust for almost ten years, except for a few titles maybe
But I don't think I'll ever sell it, as you say, just for the memories it holds.

Although some day I'm thinking of selling my Microcosm CD-i disc. I wonder how that goes, and it's also just collecting dust here. Maybe others can get more data out of it.


But Merijn, you don't even have Atlantis: The Last Resort in your collection? What kind of cd-i fan were you!!

Sell separately if you can with the crazy prices some people are paying for individual games...

If you have the Zelda games for example..

Link and Zelda both go for around 35 Euros each on ebay UK and obviously Zelda Adventures goes for around £60 - £70 price mark.

You could buy Link and Zelda for about £5-10 only a few months ago..

It would be a good idea to make a list of the average selling price for each CDI game along with a rareity guide to.

hey merjin what is the "Philips Media ECTS 1996 Press Kit"?

Hmm Atlantis.. I thought I had that too... and I realize there's a few more titles missing.. probably buries somewhere, let me see about that..

Actually to be completely honest (this is sacriligious to many people here probably) I never was a big fan of Antlantis, not impressed at all with the engine. I was actually a big FPS fan back then and to me it always seemed outdated, even though for CDi it was a technical marvel of course!

The ECTS press kit, I just had another look at that and it's not really CDi related. It's got some pictures and texts about the Philips Media games, but covers PC and Mac only. There's some familiar titles, like Down in the Dumps, Demon Driver, The Dame was Loaded.. but again, only PC/MAC, no mentions of the CDi...

Oh and I forgot to mention I also have
- Who shot Johnny Rock
- Dragon's Lair 2
- Guitar lessons : Rock guitar

Am I the only person who actually regularly plays on their cd-i?? I play at least 3 times a week. I just love the games. Had a gaming session at my cousin's on Saturday, where we played some old skool arcade games like Wonderboy, Street Fighter 2, Gorf, Punch out etc. Great fun, but still prefer cd-i.

Merijn - KEEP THE COLLECTION!!!
