    That's great for 50 games. Like half what that would get on ebay probably. I'd try to talk him down five bucks on the ROB though.

    That's not bad at all man. 50 games and a boxed NES set is quite worth the 80 bucks, considering what it would have cost you in a regular old game store. I don't know about the ROB though. If it has the box I myself would defenitely go for it. I really have no idea what it's worth though.

    Subtract whatever you think that boxed NES is worth from $50 and divide by $80...not bad for a NES game. Not bad at all!

    Rarity Guide has it listed at $14 loose. If it's fully functioning and boxed, then maybe $25, but only then.

    All my local stores carry the NES at damn near $40-50 per system.

    Consider $80 a good deal.

    Possibility is infinity! You must be satisfied!

    Since usually complete NESs go for $50-$60 on the 'bay, you got a great deal. I'd only pay $25 for the rob if it was complete and worked, but thats just me.

    Now go bust out Zelda and watch those sprites tell a story.

    Yes good deal!

    It would have cost you alot more if you had bought this kind of lot on epay.
    Oh eBay! you are such a pain, I am addicted to you like crack cocaine. You offer things I cannot find in stores,You are the pimp, and we are all your whores.
