alot of great games, but not worth $500 to me. id bid maybe $300, seeing as bubble bobble is going for $50-$70 ,and contra force $30+ but i already have most of those. great for someone who doesnt have any of them ;)

Well, as an entire lot, that's pretty high. But if you were to break them down one by one, it's plausible...

1. Arkanoid sealed with vaus controller! - 60.00
2. Dragon warrior 2 - 20.00
3. Final Fantasy - 15.00
4. mega man - 10.00
5. mega man 2 - 10.00
6. mega man 3 with instructions - 10.00
7. mega man 6 - 10.00
8. Contra Force - 25.00
9. Bonk's Adventure - 40.00
10. Bubble Bobble - 15.00
11. Bubble Bobble 2 - 50.00
12. Uncharted waters - 8.00
13. Little league baseball - 5.00
14. G.I. Joe a real american hero - 10.00
15 G.I. Joe The Atlantis Factor - 10.00
16. Double Dragon with instructions - 5.00
17. Double Dragon 2 - 5.00
18. Double Dragon 3 - 8.00
19. Castlevania - 8.00
20. Castlevania II - 8.00
21. Castlevania III - 8.00
22. Donkey Kong classics - 5.00
23. Tiny toon adventures - 5.00
24. Tiny toon adventures 2 - 5.00
25. Yoshi's cookie - 5.00
26. River city ransom - 12.00
27. Star Wars - 5.00
28. Star Wars The Empire strikes back - 5.00
29. Super Contra - 10.00
30. Duck Tales - 5.00
31. Big Bird's hide and speak - 5.00
32. Baseball Stars - 8.00
33. Metal gear - 8.00
34. The Blue Marlin - 5.00
35. Metroid - 8.00
36. Super mario Bros. 2 - 8.00
37. Super mario Bros. 3 - 8.00
38. Ice Climber - 8.00
39. Excitebike - 5.00
40. The Immortal - 5.00
41. The legend of Zelda gold cart - 8.00
42. Zelda 2 the adventure of Link gold cart - 8.00
43. Tecmo super bowl - 5.00
44. Battletoads - 5.00
45. Punchout - 5.00
46. Mike Tyson's Punch Out - 5.00
47. Paperboy - 5.00
48. Paperboy 2 - 8.00
49. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with instructions - 5.00
50. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3 - 8.00

Total - 527.00

So in reality, the price isn't bad for eBay standards...he won't get it because if you sell in bulk you usually take a pretty good hit on how much you're gonna make. I'd say it's a 300.00 auction tops though.

What a joke indeed, if they were at least boxed or complete then iŽd consider, hell no i will never pay that much for cart only.

If I had the money, I might think about buying a lot like this sometime. I suppose.

That Arkanoid looks sealed, so he might get it based on that alone.

I would say 250 - 300 would defenitely be a worthy area to start bidding but 500 is just a tad bit too high ;D.

If I didn't have all those games, I'd probably do it for $300~$400, at most.

Aye. Didn't open the page during my first reply. Lots of nice games, but at what cost? Sheesh. I could build a decent backbone to a Game Boy/Lynx/Game Gear collection with that money...
