    Default Apple Commodore Old Games/ Need advice.

    Hey Guys,

    I need some insight. On saturday I was out yard saleing and I ran into a box of old computer games/learning games/flight simulators. They were all apple and commodore floppys, rather large in size all complete. I will say I am not an computer game expert, I stick mainly to any and all systems. I am ebay literate however and been trying to look this stuff up with little to no success ( I have seen some stuff that really sells well for old mac's but nothing exact). I paid $2 for about 30 games, so regardless of the answer I will not be at a huge financial loss . I'm just curious in general, is there a market for this stuff or should I just junk it/goodwill it.

    Thanks in advance.
    Mike

    It might depend on the game? Like for any system, it's all about the rarity. I see some Apple II games go for $.99; others go for more. I own the system, but don't buy "new" games for it...but some people might want to.

    Yea I figured it was similar to the systems and can't provide a list right now as I'm at work. Just trying to gauge if there is still a market for these. I appreciate the imput!

    Look for any Ultima or Infocom titles, and some of the early Electronic Arts games in the folio packaging can be worth a few bucks. Otherwise it's pretty much hit and miss.

    I'd love to see the list of what you got, even though I doubt it could be worth all that much.

    Funny as this is, how many of them are for the C64? I adore the stuff personally.

    If you have the original packaging for those, you might be in luck as those are early EA games.
