New MSX owner!

Some rough Konami pricing guide:

Konami €10-€20 range: Hyper Sports, Antarctic Adventure, Athletic Land, King’s Valley, Monkey Academy, Yie Ar Kung Fu, Circus Charlie, Road Fighter, etc.
Konami €20-€40 range: Nemesis, F1 Spirit, Usas, King’s Valley II, Nemesis II, Salamander, Penguin Adventure
Konami €40-€60 range: Quarth, Contra
Konami €60-€100 range: Metal Gear, Nemesis III
Konami €100-€200 range: Snatcher, SD Snatcher
Konami €200-€300 range: Space Manbow, Metal Gear 2

(Although MG and MG2 are going for quite ridiculous prices since Phantom Pain was released.)

These is what I see as fair prices for these games based on eBay, Marktplaats and the forum here . Subject to disagreement or mistakes, but just to give you an indication of the pricing tiers.

I expect around the €20 price range. In eBay’s advanced search you can see which auctions were sold recently for a specific item, and it seems Galaga was sold for €16, €18, €11 and €28 recently. Bosconian is not listed so it’s not as commonly sold seems, but still I would expect a price of around €20.

Generally speaking, cassette games are dirt cheap (<€5), for cartridge and disk games prices for MSX1 games are generally lower (€10-€30) than those of MSX2 games (€20-€50). Additional factors which influence the price are popularity, rarity and also the condition of the cartridge and whether it’s boxed.

And then there are a few outliers like the aforementioned Mr. Ghost and Aleste 2 which are expensive “just because”. That’s the only explanation I can give really . They are good games of course, but they don’t seem to be particularly rare, or better than many games that go for normal prices, so exactly why they fetch such exorbitant prices I don’t know.

Cool the HX-10 was my first MSX when i was young!! And yes a lot of people like to have these originals. Especially the konami games.

There is also a dutch secondhand site where people sell their msx games and computers. Most of the time with fair prices.

Hi Svante and cheers here from your neighbour Finland!

If you're okay with just loose cartridges, you won't have to pay that much. Usually around 10-30€ for the Konami ones and same for the Namcot ones too. But if you'd like to collect the complete copies with manuals, the prices will at least double. So, you'll have to take that into account and plan how you would like to collect. Some games are really expensive even if they start with 0€ bid, because lots of people want them and are are willing to pay big cash to get them. You never know when one particular game will be up again for bidding, so you must be quick sometimes. Fortunately most of the Konami games are quite common and easy to find even as complete copies. Only few very rare games exists like Cabbage Patch Kids, Magical Tree, Comic Bakery, Frogger and Pippols.
