Cool stuff found in the closet...

Post by CronoTriggerfan »

I was digging through my friend's grandparent's closet, and he had a TON of old board games.

In the very back, though, I found some interesting stuff; first thing to catch my eye was an Oddysey 2 microprossessor system made by Magnavox with about 15 games. Everything was boxed and in great condition!

Next, I saw an old Microvision handheld made by MB back in the 70s. It came with about 10 games, and everything was boxed.

Then, to much surprise, I found an old Apple II sitting in the corner! It's in perfect working condition, and it has about 150 floppies for it, all working. The only games I remember were Castle Wolfenstein and Frogger, but there were WAY more.

So does anyone know how much this stuff is worth, everything mint and boxed?

Thanks,
CTFan

If the Microvision's screen hasn't deteriorated yet, it's worth quite a bit. It used a primitive LCD that hasn't aged well.

Although not a lot of people want them so they go cheap, good for you there is a well known collector on BenHeck.
Lets work a deal with my screen and the Microvision and possibly the Castle Wolfenstein. I don't even care if it works or not as long as it is all there.

Would you be willing to harvest a 50-pin expansion cart slot from the Apple II so I could purchase it from you?

Which model of Apple II? I would gladly buy that one if the shipping isn't outrageous...

You found an Odyssey!!?? AND a Microvision?! AND they're both BOXED MINT??!

Wait, was there deals with the devil involved, because if not, you're the luckiest friggin guy on the planet! Y'know the cool thing about Odysseys is that they're totally analog, yep. Everything gets done in resistance and voltages, not 0s and 1s.

Cool, so they ARE worth something! As for selling them, I'll have to check with my friend, since we're splitting the profit. They are up for sale, though. I'll get back to you guys on that stuff, and a list of all the floppies that would be included with the Apple II. I also have to check on the model...

How much for some games. Not necessarily planning on buying one, but the old one in our church only has math games.
