$75 NES + 20 Games

atlien003 — 2011-04-26T01:35:35 -05.00

I can get $50 locally for an NES console (fixed 72pin), 2 controllers, and SMB/DH. Also I have twice been paid $20 to fix a 72pin without even offering that service (both people saw my classifieds ad and just asked me if I could do it for them) - so yes there is sufficient demand for working NES consoles.

I would buy this lot since I am missing quite a few of these games, but it's nothing to bend over backwards for especially if you are looking to resell most of it.

If you offer the guy $20 you're only gonna piss him off. If anything, see if he'll take $60. You're not gonna make a killing on it, but even at $75 you'd probably be able to keep about a third of those games for free.

Or trade someone for a Mario 2, slap a new 72-pin in the system, and sell it on ebay with Mario 1, 2 and 3.

I think NintendoAge is a little too optimistic about the value of toasters and Marios. The OP should be able to flip individual games of value to get the commons and system for free. Take a look at my auction here:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trks...

I paid $100 for that lot, keeping about three games ($10 each) for myself and the nes console (which had some ugly combination of tray & pin issues and quickly became useless). Turns out I about broke even, and that's with more than a few $5-$10 titles in the bundle (plus Contra).

hahahha ive had about 100 toaster NES's sold about 30 or so in the last year. STill have a ton i have to replace the pin for. We know what they go for. If you cant get 40 plus 15 shipping for a Toaster with mario 1 then you arent a very good seller. The mario trilogy adds around 20 bucks.

I've had no problems getting $65-75 for a system with new 72-pin and Mario 1,2, and 3. You have to do a BIN with it rather than an auction though.

And if you were looking to flip that lot, you overpaid. There are only 4 titles in that lot that sell consistently for $10 or more, 3 or 4 that would fetch $5, and the rest are harder to push common stuff.

I wouldn't think it would be too bad really. $30-$35 for the console, $15 for Contra, $10 for Mario 3, $10-$15 for Bubble Bobble almost covers it, with the rest of them for profit. If you can talk him down even to $60 I'd say go for it, $75 would be fine too, depending on what your time is worth and if everything is in good shape.

It always sounds good like that in your head but when i comes down to it you may have to sit on the stuff for a while before it sells at the full ebay price and i really doubt its worth the time or effort

Edit: And if some of the games are for your collection, you're doing even better. Can't complain at $2-$3 per cart on average, especially when a few are worth over $10.

NES has all hookups, two controllers and zapper. Games included are:

Original Mario/Duck hunt
Super Mario Bros 3
Pac-Man
Galaga
Dr. Mario
Bubble Bobble
Bo Jackson Baseball
Double Dribble
Mendal Palace
Disney Adventures
Tale Spin
Bionic Commando
Mapyland
Bill Elliot's Nascar Challenge
Spiritual Warefare (it's like a christian zelda, hilarious!)
The Simpsons Bart vs the Space Mutants
Super Jepordy
Cobra Command
Rescue
Contra

Would you go for it? Price may come down some, but this would be my fourth NES so definitely looking to resale and about half the games. Would it be worth picking up for resale?
