sega system 1 wonder boy value

[roy]

hey
what is the fair value of a board like this?
no sound and bad/missing video?
any help will be great
thanks

probably nothing - or atleast less than the postage.

your selling a gamble,
and buyers generally fall into 2 category's
1: engineers who know how to fix stuff but wont risk paying much.
2: collectors who pay stupid money and drive up prices, but couldnt fix shit to save there lives!

the fact that it looks like it was pulled from the rubble after that nuke hit Lebanon wont help sell it either!

i think its a little unsensitive thing to say but its not the point,

i admit that its nicer to have shiny pcb but its not the most importent thing
i saw many spotless boards that were dead ...

can you give an valuation for it ?
or valuation for a good working one so i will have an assessment
thanks

I would agree, except the seller sold a similar condition System 32 title for $130:

[sold] for sale sega 32 motherboard with unknown game

So yeah.

I would have been happy to buy that board at that price just for the ROM board and 4-player sub-board. those two items have a very low probability of being bad and were worth the $130 shipped asking price.

Wonder Boy has no such "good parts" to pull and install on a different good working mobo.
