Roughly $14 each if loose, $16.50 if comes with manual, $18.40 if manual and baggy, $21.34 if in a box but not the original box, $35.76 if in original box but damaged, $75.32 if in original box with manual but no bag and good condition, $56.66 if in original box in good condition with bag but no manual, $88.33 if original box, manual, bag and in good condition but cartridge sticker damaged, $101.68 if in original box in good condition with bag and manual and cartridge sticker in good condition also but in a used "played" state, $120.76 if basically complete and unplayed.
Together you will need to first figure out the value of each cartridge and then add them all up together. Be quick about it I don't want you wasting anyones time here or I will be looking into your account status and suggesting a 48hr lock out, you have been warned.

Whatever the number, if you're insistent on selling as a lot, you're probably only selling to someone looking to break it up and going to be looking at 50-60% of the 'value'.

Ok. Is there a price guide somewhere? I’ve been trying to use the one here but for some reason it isn’t loading up for

The price guide here can be seen on wayback machine from early 2025. It isn't worth using.
Since coming back into things a bit over a year ago on the MVS side, my biggest struggle with pricing is that there just is not the quantity of sales that there used to be.
You will probably get great prices on eBay, but you'll have to pay the fees. Or you can just look for a bit, decide a price that will make you happy even if it isn't top dollar and sell it there. Not sure where exactly though, market activity is slow here obviously. Maybe someone knows another place pocket goobs hang out.
You obviously have some pricy titles, Faselei, Cotton, and Cool Boarders. You also have some not as rare but always in demand titles like the Slugs, MOTM, and NTM.
Some recent eBay sales I found
Faselei - $600
Cotton - $1600
Cool Boarders Pocket - $140 for a Japanese copy, none currently listed for sale
Slug 1st - $100 several (a couple lower, a couple higher)
Slug 2nd - $250
MOTM - $90 coming out of Japan, but US boxed copies going for more, I'd say $90 is low
NTM - $100, $145, $165 , highest price was the only US seller
Sometimes 130point.com will give you a bit further back sales history than eBay's sold search and shows actual accepted price for items that sell to an offer.
Love those little snap cases, occasionally want an NGPC again, but not for the prices unfortunately.
Good luck!

Thank you so much for that info, Justin. I’m not trying to get top dollar….but ain’t trying to give them away either. I’ve been clearing out my storage unit full of decades of gaming stuff. It’s starting to feel like an anchor that’s holding me down.

Nice collection! I'd expect Pricecharting to give a reasonable average of recent ebay prices. For selling stuff on the forums, I'd usually shoot for somewhere between 10-40% under Pricecharting depending on how fast you want to sell stuff, and if your pricing it individually vs. As a lot. (you'll lose probably 14% at least selling on ebay to fees, if memory serves)
