Remember this?

Virtual League Baseball, Red Alarm, Teleroboxer, Mario Clash, Mario's Tennis, Vertical Force, Wario Land, 3D Tetris, Waterworld, Panic Bomber, Nester's Funky Bowling, Golf, and Galactic Pinball. Every one has a manual except for Golf.

I was wondering if I could get some advice on how to maximize profits on this one. Should I list these on auction, or with a buy it now? Or just sell these off eBay somewhere?

I'm also wondering if anyone could help me come up with a ballpark price for these... ^^;

Personally, I would list all but the duplicates on Ebay individually with fairly high starting bids and low, combined shipping. I often see some insane prices come out of those scenarios. Usually I'm a big fan of BiN's, but when you have so many htf games for the same system, auctions tend to do better in my experience, if combines shipping is mentioned, and even better if the shipping is really low to begin with ($2 or so), as it shows buyers you won't screw them on shipping, and they don't need to PM you to know this. Then wait a few days, and do it with the rest.
Sorry, I don't know the value on VB stuff very well, as it seldom passes through my fingers :(

Some of those you might as well list in a bundle as they are very cheap. The rest, yeah, regular auction.

please please please let you be my secret santa!! :-)

I agree with the above. I almost always do bin these days, but auctions ending in time for xmas for those harder to find games would do well.

Sorry man, I'm not. :(

I wanted to list these sooner, but my hard drive took a crap on itself yesterday morning so I'm more or less trying to sell these ASAP so I can buy a replacement. I noticed a lot of twelve VB games went for $130 this week (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lot-12-Virtual-Boy-games-/280780525590?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item415fd2d016), but there was no info or description so I'm a bit confused...

Just a guess, but are all the Japanese VB games valuable? That auction had one, so maybe that was why?

Pretty much. The absolute primo JP VB titles, afaik, are Gundam SG Dimension War, Virtual Lab, and Insomouse no Yakata.

I may be interested in a couple games as a gift. Depending on the type/size hdd we might be able to work something out. You can PM me for more info.

I just recovered my computer to an unused hard drive so I'm back on Windows 7. :)

I'll still list these tonight, dunno how or where.

Sort of off-topic, but I have been having really good luck lately listing on half.com as far as video games and books are concerned.
