20 US SNES Games

[etikette]

Hey guys,

I just found the following offering at an local marketplace.

The following 20 US SNES games for 165€
Chrono-Trigger (no manual :/)
Secret of Evermore
Secret of Mana
Final Fantasy 3
Super Bomber Man 2
Where in Times Carmen Sandiego
Lord of the Rings
Eye of the Beholder
Face Ball
Tetris 2
The Rocketeer
Troddlers
Brondish
Extra Innings
Lufia 2
Push Over
Byzyland
Krusty´s Super Fun House
Battle Blaze
Pinball

Every game comes in it's box.
I'm really tempted to buy the lot because there are some great games in there.

Problem is that 165€ are a lot of money for me at the moment so i wanted to hear your professional opinions if the price for those games is alright?

In US dollars, you would be paying the equivalent of about $250.

Complete CTs are up on ebay for around $120 at the lowest.
Complete SOE is up for about $50 at the loweest
Complete SOM at about 70-75 at the lowest
The only FF3 is about 130 at the lowest
And the only Lufia 2 is about 60 at the lowest

Well over $250, but I'd still see if you can talk him down. Also, are the games fully complete? As in the ones that have maps, actually have them? Finally, are the boxes and manuals in excellent condition? If the box is beat to hell, it's really not worth anything.

Thanks for your response Kuros.

Well i've already talked him down form 190€ to 165€.
And good that you've mentioned the maps, i wouldn't have thought of that.

The boxes look quite good, here are some images:

Looks like Final Fantasy 3 also doesn't come with a manual...

If it were me and these were NTSC games (are they?) I would pass. The price is actually just about right, but I try to go for good deals, not market value. If you just really want the games and you'd like to have boxes too then go for it. But if you want them complete then you're going to end up buying them again anyway to get all the maps. If loose is ok then just buy them seperatelythat way, getting only the games you really want and it will come out less than $250.

Yep, they are all NTSC.

And i guess you are right. There are just a few games in there i really want and i don't really care about the rest. I'll pass

Thanks for you help guys

Ha, "20 US SNES Games", it's right there in the title...

If this seller is up for splitting the lot you should make an offer on just a few of the money games. He probably knows what he has, but you might try $100 for Chrono, FF3, SoM, SoE, and Lufia. The worst that could happen is he'll laugh in your face, but he just make a counter offer and you could end up with five great games. Worth a shot.
