Yeah I know, pretty insane, I really don't have a good idea of what it will hit. Hopefully pretty high, I have a few bills to pay.

that looks really neet but those NWO WWF and sports titles you have make it worth much less then what it's at now.. I mean 22 copies of wayne gretsky and 23 copies of Madden 99, let alone madden 64 and 20+ QB clubs? you've got over 44 QB clubs in there.. :(
This is neat to look at but your looking for gold on items that are not that old and even now can be had for less at gamestop. No offence, just the truth.

How do you figure that? Even if the reserve is $3000 that's less than $5 per game. Still a great deal, even with 75 sports titles.

I agree with you there joe .I pay more then $5 on amost every 64 game I get except sports game I would only pay that if complete.so thats not a bad deal but I still wouldnt get them unless the price was right and there would have to be more quality titles.
Id like to know the story of that collection also looks like a store inventory to me.

I'm not an N64 person (I've never even played one), but with so many duplicates and such a high reserve (I'd think) you may be better getting a bunch of people going in on this together and splitting the stuff up. I did that with a large 5200 lot at one point and it worked out well. Just a thought.

Ok, so everyone wants to know how I came about all of this. About 3 years ago, I met up with a sales rep for a movie and video game distribution center. He informed me he had thousands (and I do mean thousands) of video games which were considered "obsolete" or no longer viable for retail distribution. I told him that I would be interested in buying them, if the price was right. So I made the trip to their distribution center (with a Jeep Cherokee mind you) and was in total awe!! I ended up coming back with a 24 foot uhaul truck with about 10 pallets of video games. (I went with a friend and we split the load right down the middle) Nearly ALL of the games were at a minimum with their original boxes, about 30-40 percent were complete. The first load netted me: 2500 NES, 4000 genesis, 1500 SNES (they weren't closing out the N64 as of yet) and about 50 NES systems which they game me for nothing (which they said did not work, HAH!). Since that time I have been buying from them ever since. It has helped me build a nearly complete NES, Genesis, and SNES collection (within a total of about 50 games needed to complete all 3!) The latest buy was heavy in N64, I sold some individually on ebay, but then kept a few more to start building my N64 collection (I am about 3/4 of the way there). Instead of selling the rest off piece by piece, I figured I would try to sell them outright if my reserve was met (I still might sell them even if they don't).
I understand what others might say about the sports titles, but think about it this way: How often do you see N64 titles with no box and no manual? I would say at least 75 percent of the time. All of these games (that I originally listed) have at a minimum there boxes, a great deal of the complete sports titles look brand new with all docs. I know you can't play a box or manual and you can get the documentation really easy, but selling a boxed or complete game is much easier than selling a "cart only". The other point is, look how many Castlevanias, banjo kazooies, zeldas are in the lot, some of that should offset the sports titles.
I really do appreciate everyone's input, and look forward to what others may have to say.
Later...................... :D :D :D
By the way, I never got rid of all my extra NES, SNES and genesis titles, still have them in my basement. Take care all!!

Just so everyone knows, if the reserve is not met on this auction, I will more than likely sell it anyway, so email directly or through ebay if you are interested. Have a good weekend everyone, at least a better Sunday than today was! GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

I don't need any 64 games (except Tony Hawk 3, damn you Activision!) but I must comment that... that... is one hell of a set up games :o
I have an idea. Contact the army, tell them that N64's can be very abrasive to the skin if dropped from more then a couple feet, and they'll pay you millions for your collection.
Hell, I once sold a really crappy Magic: The Gathering Card for $20 on Ebay because I said the card was "Aerodyamicly shaped, so it's great for hucking at old people."

That is one hell of an idea.
By the way games on ebay that are damaged should be referred to as "cosmetically challenged" or "having character marks"

Hey everyone! Just thought I would let you know I added a bonus to my auction:
LAST AUCTION DAY ALERT!
IF THE RESERVE IS MET, I WILL SHIP THESE ITEMS FOR FREE VIA UPS GROUND (IN THE CONTINENTAL U.S. ONLY, NOT ALASKA OR HAWAII). EMAIL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS! THANKS!
I know how shipping can scare some bidders off, so I will take care of it and bite the bullet on it if the reserve is met. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Later...

I just relisted this item and lowered the reserve, below the ending price. Email me with any questions. Thanks!
