Ok, I was out shopping for new ties at Goodwill today (well technically they are used but to each his own) and stopped at the small used software section. And guess what I found!!! One of the Marathon Trilogy Box Set. It has 2 CD's in it one that has all three games on it and the other has "The Definitive Map Collection". Anyway I was wondering how much you guys thought it would be worth if put on eBay. I'm not reall sure but in the $20 range seems right. Please tell me I can make some money on this little gem.

Yeah, you can make some money, but you need to know where to advertise the sale. Go to http://forums.bungie.org/story/, alt.games.marathon and http://pfhorums.com/

If the scrapbook and manual is in there, that's extra money you can get for it. Keep in mind Aleph One and Bungie releasing the maps and files for public consumption reduces the value of this as an actual game for people to play. It has more worth as a collectors item though for old diehard Marathon fans. Don't expect to make a lot.

If you want only $20 for the MTB and it really is in "great condition" then you've got a buyer right here.

It's going on eBay in about a week, starting bid only $15. I'm going to advertise like tBC suggested and tell you when its up.

Actually what I meant to say was that you should PM Frost and see if he will take it off your hands for 20 bucks... only it came out... all... wrong and stuff.
