    Default Should I buy these?

    I have my eyes on these two lots of US NES games but the price seems a bit high. Hopefully some of you guys can give me some advice since I know next to nothing about US games but I've been meaning to get into it for a while

    Lot 1:
    Final Fantasy
    Legend of Zelda w. manual
    Paperboy w. manual
    Ghosts'n Goblins w. manual
    Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest
    StarTropics w. manual
    Monoply
    Astyanax
    Adventures of Lolo
    Lee Trevino's Fighting Golf
    Bad Street Brawler
    The Simpsons: Bart vs. the Space Mutants

    Lot 2:
    Mega Man 5 w. manual
    Metroid w. manual
    1942
    Contra
    Metal Gear w. manual
    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Arcade Game
    Blades of Steel
    Back to the Future 2 & 3
    Flying Dragon: The Secret Scroll
    Adventures of Tom Sawyer
    Athena
    Top Gun: The Second Mission
    Rad Racer

    He's asking ~$100 each. Should I take it and/or would be able to flip it and not end up short?

    That's high- it's over $8 per game in bulk, which is too high. Personally, I wouldn't give more than $25 per lot.

    That's exactly what I was thinking. There are a few games in there I'd love to have but I don't even have a US system or an adapter to play them. I guess Denmark IS overpriced when it comes to old electronics. I just saw auctions for SNES's plus a couple of games closing at what would be ~$200!

    Nope, those prices are inflated for sure.

    they sucker you in with some awesome games to make you forget its roughly 7-8 dollars per game. I don't pay anymore then $5 per NES game.

    $100 would be too much for both lots combined. Try to talk him into the $40-70 price range, aiming for the lower target obviously.
