shaggy Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 I don't know much about the pricing for NES stuff so I was hoping you guys could help me out. Also I don't know the rarity of these games. What is a good price for this stuff? It is a complete NES and 10 games. Includes the Deck, RF adapter, AC adapter, 2 Controllers, Gun, and 10 Games. The games are: Mario/Duckhunt, Q*bert, Yoshi’s Cookie, Tetris (not Tengen), Bubble Bobble, Snake Rattle and Roll, Godzilla 2, Wrecking Crew, Marble Madness, Pinball. All these games are cart only and the system does not have the box either. I hope you guys can help me! thanks:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oesii Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 rough guess, for NES console complete with hookups and ten games, about $30-35, a little more on eBay. None of the games are that rare. Most would be less than $3 separately, except Godzilla 2 which would probably get a little more, maybe $8? If the NES is blinky then plan on spending another $8 to get a new 72-pin connector so you should factor that in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 You might also try asking over at www.vintagegamer.net . Those guys are very knowledgeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaggy Posted June 5, 2003 Author Share Posted June 5, 2003 I think the Bubble Bobble is a bit rare. That game I think I've actually seen that go for upwards of $10 with just the cart....but I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that hard to find, but I think that it might get more money because of it's high name recognition. The DP guide has it as a rarity 1 cart. So if you really wanted to pick up these specific games a few dollars more might be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 Video Game Bible lists it as a $5 cart, but it generally goes for a litlte more than that in game stores. I'd say as a combo deal, anything under $40 would be a steal. $50 would still be reasonable. If sold invidually, those carts could fetch that much or more under the right conditions.

The Historian Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 Wait a second... If it is blinky, then don't buy the 72 pin connector until you try to fix it yourself... most of the time the bottom row of connectors on the 72 pin have just been pressed flat so many times (normal wear and tear) they have lost their bounce. All you need to do it carefully bend them back up and 95% of the time it fixes the unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldunko Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 I believe there's a "faq" on classicgaming.com on how to fix them in a tad more detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintendo Penguin Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 Try posting an advertisement in the MarketPlace over at VintageGamer.net... you may get a couple of good offers. Also, If you put it on ebay, be sure to post it a VG..... we at VG are always looking for fair deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fire_Will Posted June 6, 2003 Share Posted June 6, 2003 I wouldnt give em more than about 10.00 bucks you can find nes sytems at yard sales fairly common for 10.00 or less. With the amount of stuff you described. I bought super nes this morning for 2.50 with 2 games. My last nes system i bought had 6 boxed games and unit controllers etc. for 5.00.

The Historian Posted June 6, 2003 Share Posted June 6, 2003 Ditto, I pick up a NES with 2 games, two WORKING light guns, two controllers, and the the hook ups for $5 at a yard sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaggy Posted June 6, 2003 Author Share Posted June 6, 2003 Come on guys. Get with it you two. There is a BIG difference buying at a yard sale and dealing with a person who is knowledgable about video games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Historian Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 There is a BIG difference buying at a yard sale and dealing with a person who is knowledgable about video games. Exactlly... so why deal with someone who knows the story when there are so many who do not. I think that if your so hopped up about getting that system the by all means do the deal at $30 to $35. I, personally, would have a little patience and find a better deal. But this points out the flaw in collecting. If you really want something you will pay more than you would for something you don't want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
