I spotted this lot on my local CL and was wondering if the value is fair for $120.

The exterior Power Set box looks to be in fairly good condition, and comes with the NES, Zapper, two controllers, original AC adapter, RF Connector, AV cables and Power Pad. The Power Pads box looks a little beat up. The seller is including:

SMB/Duck Hunt/World Class Track Meet
SMB 2 with manual
SMB 3 with manual
Licensed Tetris
Paper Boy
10 Yard Fight
Off Road
Duck Tales
and two other games I can't quite make out from the picture, one vaguely looks like a Ninja Turtles game.

I'm leaning towards staying away as I already have a system and the notable games that come with this set. The only things it includes I'm lacking are the SMB game manuals, power pad, and well the box. And since the set doesn't include any of the posters/other internals my gut tells me it's not a hot deal to jump on for a backup system/collection piece. But I figured I'd get some opinions anyway.

I'm just curious as to whether I'm unfairly thinking that the condition warrants a lower a price than $120?

That price is about what you'd pay for one on eBay, so seems pretty high for CL. If you want all of that for yourself to play, it isn't a terrible deal.

Yeah, a few months ago I do recall seeing similar lots go for more on Ebay, but I noticed they seem to be going for a little less but you're right $120 seems like the price it'd go for on Ebay. Just being a bit of a newbie to collecting I wasn't sure whether Ebay prices are normally about fair or overinflated. But, I think ultimately considering I already have two toasters, one toploader and most of those games, without the packaging including more I'm thinking it's not worth it for me. I mean clearly I wouldn't be expecting something shrink wrapped but I think I'd be a lot more tempted by one with the inserts etc. as a backup/collection piece.
