I'm thinking about selling my Philips CD-i system as a bundle... console works, comes with normal remote and game remote with optional analog joystick attachment, and a bunch of white label promo copies of games (two Zelda titles, Hotel Mario and Dragon's Lair 2 are the notable ones). How much should I ask for this set-up? Thinking of putting it on the 'bay but no clue where to price it. Thanks
 
There is a posting on eBay that is very similar to what you are describing:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/MAGNAVOX-CO...0785053617?pt=Video_Games&hash=item35bbdc73b1

So you can gauge your price depending on how well that one goes.

A little more information could be helpful as well.
What model of CDi are you intending to sell?
Does it have the Digital Video Cartridge installed?
You mentioned two Zelda CDi games. Is either one of them Zelda's Adventure?

The controller in the auction is the most preferable CDi controller (it makes the games almost playable).
The one that you described with the optional joystick attachment is second most preferable.
 
On closer inspection, it seems that eBay is currently being flooded by a lot of fake demonstration discs.

As you can see, the fake discs have very thin outer edges and a much thicker rim around the inner circle.
The real CDi discs have the opposite; thick outer rim, thin inner rim.

Looking at the auction I posted above they all 'seem' to be legitimate.
But there is no telling if the production quality of the fakes just improved.
You can't see the print quality through the photos, so that seller might just be selling fakes.
