I have at least 50 or 60 in a bin in my attic. Is it like anything else where it depends on the game? Should I sell as a lot? Or individually?
These are probably just the games, not boxes or booklets. Maybe some of the black protective sleeves.
Thanks guys.

post a list, some games can easily reach 4-5 figures. They would sell for more if they were complete, but plenty of games buy themselves still sell very well.

Yes, take the time to look them up on eBay. If you've got some tougher to find games, you may still make some good money on them, even without boxes/instructions.

Ok, cool. I'll work up a list this weekend. I doubt there is anything too rare.

I found one that looks like $50+... Contra Force.
And then a bunch in the $20 range... Conan, Jimmy Connors Tennis, Mega Man 2, 2 copies of Punch Out, 2 copies of each Zelda, etc.
It turns out I have 100 games. Not sure the best way to sell them. Maybe little lots like the Zelda's, the two Contras, the Mario's... And then like 50-60 in a big lot.
Also have a top loading console, two controllers and two orange guns.

Sounds like you have several hundred dollars in your attic you were unaware of. Always nice

If you are an honest seller, I'd check them before selling (otherwise the Ebay police will get ya!). I had quite a few (a couple Japanese RPGs that brought in $60), but a lot of my games were no longer working. I tried to repair them, but some would still not work. Unfortunately, they don't keep very well.

I also found a top loader system. So I guess I need to check them all, huh? That is going to take some time.
Anyone want to buy the whole lot sight unseen?

I'd be willing to make you an offer if I could see a picture of all the items together.

Sure, ill get that up. I just tried the console and it doesn't work. Unless I can buy/borrow another one, I have no way to test the games.

That's fine, I'd still be interested in the console and all the games untested.

A few pics... 97 games altogether, not counting the second Punch Out because it is in bad shape. And I wouldn't feel right selling the console since it doesn't work.

I'd be interested in a lot of the games and the broken system.
Would you be willing to part some things out?

I'd really like to see if I could move the whole thing at once first.

Nice collection. I used to have about 500-600 NES carts in my prime.

Someone is supposedly coming by my house tonight to pick them up for $300. I didn't want this to be a sale thread, but if this guy bails tonight I will respond to the people that posted. Thanks.

Did you sell the toploader?
I sold Contra Force for $120 on eBay last month. Good find there

The local gentleman did pick up all the games, so these are gone. Thanks for all those that were interested. He got a bargain at $300, but I didn't have the time or working console to test them all.

The games are very easy to clean. They sell a tool really cheap on ebay that allows you to unscrew the cart and really clean the contacts well and it makes most games back to brand new almost once you get all the dirt and buildup off.
