I made an offer on this on ebay for and buyer accepted for 50$ shipped. Carts arrived in ok shape, just spent the last half hour cleaning them all up.

19 Titles + Super Game boy Cart





What do you guys think? Did I pay too much?

Na, you did okay. You made most of your money back on Zombies and Mario Kart (Around 20 each on those two alone). Even if the other games sell for a few bucks each, you didn't do too bad. Nice grab! :3

You ended up a little over what you paid, probably not great for resale but if you're keeping them you did well.

If you plan on playing them, you did just fine. You got some real classics there too, so all in all you did ok.

Thanks guys, that's a relief. I felt good about the purchase at first but compared to a lot of the finds on here it isn't spectacular. I do plan on playing/keeping a lot of these.

I'd say you did just fine. There's some solid games in there, especially The 7th Saga - it's a perfect Dragon Quest-type RPG.

Right now its SNES (personal favorites and curiosity), but I'm collecting for n64 as well (focusing on personal favorites)

Perfect? Ha. It's easily the worst SNES RPG I've played, and I've played pretty much all of them.

I think you di really good. Tecmo super bowl 2 is the gem. You could sell the rest and make money.

I like 7th Saga as well; the only thing I noticed was how critical it was to pick the correct starting character and ally. Even so I still remember getting my ass kicked by the cleric (lol) when having to battle for runes.

That night the Captain’s granddaughter
Would celebrate her birthday
“I’ve come a long way,” said the Captain,
“From Lost Christabel this night.
Accompanied by my dog familiar,
To blast your rafters with my surprise.
Granddaughter, It’s a foreign mirror
Taken from the jungle by crime!”

Dude, I popped it in last night. So difficult! My gosh I kept dying left and right, realized the hard way about picking the right character.

Yeah you did pretty well, its less then $3 a game, so I'd say you did just fine. Personally I wouldn't call this find amazing but its definately a decent deal, I would have bought it for $50 as well.

I enjoyed it, too. Lots of grinding, though.

Anyway, I think that's pretty good. Saved a few bucks, especially if you can't get anything locally.
