    Default Just starting to collect for NES, please help!!!!

    Hi everyone. I am just starting out to collect for the NES system, and am needing some help on prices. I am going to try to get complete games, and need to know about what prices to pay for games. One example is a Arkanoid game that I've found, it's around $75.00 new still sealed. Would this be a good price or too high of a price? How much would complete opened common's go for? I will not get into the RARE games just yet, maybe after about a year. I am an Atari collector, so I will have a little Atari stuff to trade, like a boxed Sears and boxed Atari 6 switch systems, and about 200 common games. Please any guidance will be more than accepted.

    Complete commons, probably about $5-$10, depending on the title. That Arkanoid is a LITTLE pricey.

    I agree with Dave, $75 is way too much for that arkanoid. I bought mine a few years ago for $25, but it hits between $35 and $50 now on ebay. Start small then go after the heavy hitters as you come more knowledgable in the NES titles. It is a great system to collect for! (Atari is my second favorite)

    Thanks for all the advice, and offers. I'll get a reply to every one ASAP. I have limited myself to $10.00 for common, great box games for right now. I have started to buy a few off E-Bay, please look to see if I'm doing alright http://cgi3.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAP...&all=0&rows=50 . I like the black boxes, are these good prices or a little high? I was collecting for the 2600, but the NES seems a ittle more stable of a system.
