A general description typically is enough Kimbo. You obviously can't list a 20 game lot or anything, but saying something like "20 CIBs, need to know if it's worth grabbing" and listing the console(s) either in the title or the description would usually help narrow down the people reading it to people that are knowledgeable about that system and a bit of a heads up as to whether they can assist.

I disagree that loose prices should never be asked, because if the person has an obscenely mint cart it will likely sell for more than the guide price, and in the case of top tier items, the guide price may have only one or two examples making up the list price. If I had a 10/10 mint Stadium Events cart, for example, I would likely start a thread to find out what sort of premium it would command. I have a rough idea of what the average SE goes for, but in the case of above average specimens, it justifies the thread.

-------------------------


"It's always amazing to me how some of the most worthless games from a gaming perspective tend to fetch outrageous amounts of money. But then again, it could be said that something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. I'm curious if the high bidder of the $873.04 Stadium Events (cart-only) realizes that it's nowhere nearly as rare as about 20+ games I can think of that sell for 1/10th that amount?  At any rate, I wanted to draw attention to this trend: if people say it's rare, it must be true, and therefore it must be had at any price."

"What is a CIB Ninja Gaiden 123 gonna fetch if sold as a lot" - $70-$80
"Effin mint Black Box Donkey Kong CIB" - $700 to $1000? (Volatile)
"Star Fox 2 repro with custom box"  - $150
"Sealed Action 52" $450+
"Never opened SNES mini" - $250 to $300
"Difference between CIB Mario World PC and non-PC" Around 2x... $30 vs. $50?
"CIB Contra Force gone up in price?"  It did, now I'd say it has leveled off, maybe $120-$150 range.


How'd I do?

Black Tagin Dragon doesn't exist, AFAIK.

Ahh touche.  Yeah a MINT DK is hopefully nowhere near $700-$1000.  Maybe $150-$200 if I had to guess, though we did talk about this one recently.
