What's the going rate on these?

Toaster with new 72 pin, 2 original controllers, gun, original hook ups, & SMB/DH game.

I think the pins cost me about $6.80 ea. or so...

Thinking about putting a few on EBAY but not sure what to "buy it now" as?

With a new pin, I'd start it at $49.99 with a BIN of $54.99. I dunno... anyone else agree/disagree?

I sell my systems for 54.95 BIN with 14.95, and I have never not sold one at that price. I include 2 controllers, zapper, hookups, SMB/DH w/ manual, and a control deck manual if I have one.

If you're thinking about doing it consistently, I'd try to beat the eBay going rate, and cause the other guys to have to drop their prices to compete (which is one of the principles I go by when setting prices for stuff, heh heh). You can fit all that in a flat-rate box for shipment purposes, btw (I've managed it before)...I'd go $40 starting bid/$45 BIN with a $10 Priority Mail shipping charge.

I always list 3 or 4 right after Thanksgiving for 44.99 and 10.00 shipping, the NES and everything will fit in a flat rate USPS box if you pack it just right..

I sold all of them in 2 days last year..

Why sell for the less when you can sell them for more? For Pedro! I understand cause he is getting to be a larger seller and has volume on his side. But for us smaller sized folk get the most you can for a set. I messed around with a several price points and 54.95 seems be the ideal price.

I have a followup question to this... I have a bunch of loose carts, several toasters, etc stocked up from this summer to sell on eBay.  What is the best combination to maximize profits?  Examples would be selling a refurbed toaster with controllers, gun, etc + 10 games, + 25 games, +100 games?  Would it make sense to make one big lot with the toaster, Four Score + 4 controllers + 50 games?  Or should I keep the toasters sold on their own and then break the carts up into seperate lots?  I hope this makes sense -- bascially I have 120 games, 10 toasters, bunch of controllers, etc and want to sell them to support my habbit

I think selling complete refurbished NES system + 2 controllers + 1 zapper + Super Mario Bros/Duck/Hunt game is the way to go. Or else you'll loose cash if you put up lot's of games with it.

Selling all the games individually is a pain but in the end you'll make more cash.
