I am willing to bet that only about 100 of those 500 games are worth playing or buying for that matter.

The picture showed a shitload of a gold cartridge... I guess the person gets multiple copies of some of the games?

I wouldn't pay $1300 for that collection, I already have most of what they had to offer, and any thing I don't already have is worth way less than $1300.

HOLY FUCK!! No that was a sweet auction. Well worth the $1375. That's easily $5000 on the eGay resale market. I gurantee you that the buyer of this auction will have a shitload of itmes for sale in the next few weeks. This was definately NOT a collectors auction. Anyone who collects NES games doesn't buy in this kinda bulk. 100% sure this auction will be split up & sold.

I saw that same auction today... but look at all the doubles that he has in there. Hell triples, Quadruples. Fuck that you can get a lot of nes games for $1 right now. If he had really rare games sure I would do that but N64 games suck too.

That's exactly what I'm thinking too. Just look at the buyer's feedback; he's a big-time seller. He's going to part that lot out, no doubt, and sell the stuff piece by piece for maximum profit.

lets say you sell for $3.00 a game that $1725.00
and every one know the built in mark up on shipping so id say he did pretty good he will get all his money back and then some

are you sure... what in there could be sold for more than $2.00 each... NES wise?

I have had a lot of those titles at one point.. they never got above $3.00 each.

Yes, some of the N64 titles would get more.. but.. $5000?

are you sure?

from all the times I got burnt with nes stuff... I am not sure how I can see it worth resell...

A lot of those titles just don't sell.

I mean, I have 19 NES games still sitting around.

Next you have to worry about them all working.. and testing/cleaning each one.

Getting $3.00 per nes game doesn't seem worth it... and somehow, I doubt you could get rid of HALF for that much...
