Do the NES math. A low $2 a game is roughly $450 and a system for another $50. Reserve is likely $500.

funny story, I've been bidding on this since I saw it go up, I didn't know it was a DP'er listing it until I checked the bid history and saw superfly1. I'm currently the top bidder.
So yeah, any way you could tell us what the reserve is? because it isn't $200...

I like how he arranged all the carts in the shape of a cart.

how much do you guys think this will go for?
jajaja

I see that when you had reserve the highest bid was $385. Now its $455 and still nearly 5 days to go :)
I don't mean to sound smart, I really don't. But I have to ask you something. For such a serious collector, why oh why don't you keep your boxes and instructions?
jajaja

Most likely because he didnt buy the games with box and instruction.

Nice auction,best of luck with selling.And yeah i can't understand why some people throw them away but in his case he must have bought them cart only.

I never threw any boxes or manuals away, i didnt get them with any of these games, i hate boxes for nintendo games anyways, cardboard crap just collects dust. Manuals are kinda nice though. But trying to make a huge nes collection of boxed games and manuals gets to be WAY too expensive for my taste.

I see your point. Personally, I don't buy anything unless it's complete, but that's just me. :) Also, if they were all boxed, my guess is you would get as much as 5 times as much $$$ for it. Either way, good luck with your sale.

No offense to resellers, they have just as much right as anyone on eBay to bid and do what they do, but their constant attempts to get people to end their auctions early gets a little old after a while. -_-

Resellers do make quite a bit of money by breaking up auctions like this. I know a few people who only resell lots of games and other stuff. I say if you have the time to make 100 small aucitons out of one large auction, all the more power to you.
Just my 2 cents. Nice auction, I would hate to see my collection sold.

I wasnt knocking resellers at all, if they can turn an auction like mine into a profit, great for them. I wish i had the time and patience to relist hundreds of games individually like that. I only have a problem with the resellers trying to get sellers to end their auctions early. I just wanted to clear that up, in case i was misunderstood.

Do everyone a favor then and report them to eBay. What they're doing is against eBay's rules (http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/rfe-spam-non-ebay-sale.html).

I just might. Although I'm not sure what good it would do.

Nice price :) Last time you got about half the price. Doesnt look like a reseller won the games. I see that jillygames bid on this. Bought from that seller once and wasnt satisfied. Got rude e-mail replies, bad seller. Good that he/she/they didnt win hehe.

Hopefully it'll keep people from making these behind the scene deals that ruins it for people who play by the rules. If nothing else it will at least make them aware of the fact that it's against eBay rules in case they didn't know it.
