NES toploader......fair price?

[nesuser2]

i just got my second top loader UPS'd to me and i was curious what you guys think on how much i paid for it.....for $65(inc. shipping) i got:

top loader
all wires
NES max controller
NES dogbone controller

games:
TMNT 1, 2, & 3
SMB 1, 2, & 3
Mario is Missing!
Knight Rider
Super Offroad
Mach Rider
Play Action Football(which will hold up the falling corner of my nightstand)

Also, he said he found more stuff when he was packing.....so i'm guessing it was the box and instructions to SMB 2.......SMB 2 complete and looks really really good......good buy?

I think you got a good deal

[wberdan]

that was a very fair price

what is SMB 2 worth complete? anything really? i'll probably keep it for myself because it looks really nice......but just curious......

[Six Switch]

SMB2 maybe $5-$10 at the most.

And that is a good price,mine cost me near $100,but I got it complete with 13 games so I was happy. :-D

Yea, good find, hell I would have taken it without the games packed in...but then again i am deperate for a top loader...

[Sylentwulf]

If I was looking for a top-loader, then I would consider that a good price.

Since I already have one, and don't really need any of those games, I would have probly passed it up if I saw it in the wild. Good deal if you wanted one though! :)

[nesuser2]

actually, the real reason i got it.........the one i paid $130 for had a few scratches on the backside and i was thinking i could get one without scratches.......and i did......i just gotta get a little dirt off the one i just got. plus, now i have 2 dogbone controller.......not that big of a deal. but my last idea in the plan was.........i get a lot of NES games, pretty much common but good games, and to save myself the time of getting rid of them around here, i was going to take a few here and there and get about 40-50 good games together and see what i could get for it on ebay to support the rest of my collection. i'm not sure about that though. i might be better off trading them since the local shop will give me roughly $10 a game trade in.....but all their NES games are around $10 a game........so its a straight trade besides the fee.....so i can trade SMB 3 for some weird games, Wally the Bear and the No! Gang, for example......for just $2 which doesn't end up being too bad of a deal when i find SMB 3 at every garage sale in the area LOL

but that was my plan, since i got it for $65.......and my last idea which kind of stinks......was give it to my gf......cuz she always tells me her NES is broke......and she hasn't figured out how to tamper with the games, and yes i think front loading nintendos suck with new connectors.......they still never work!!.......its a big difference between a bad connector.....but not good enough

:o Nesuser2 -- Where the heck do they pay $10 per NES game? Where are you located?

[nesuser2]

mcvan's in ft. wayne, IN.....they dont actually pay that much, they will trade it for that value. the games range from $2-$30 i think, most games are atleast $6-$12 though. but it has to be a straight trade, they sell SMB 3 for $10 so you can trade any copy of SMB 3 in for any game they have and sell for $2-10 and pay a $2 trade fee. i picked up a complete Quattro Arcade and looked to have never been touched for $12.......so must stuff isn't too horrible. and they sell top loaders for $75 when they have them which isn't often.
