    Default Bunch of old PC adventure games (not mine)

    I'm not sure of the best place to post this, so please move(or delete) this post if it's in the wrong section.

    I just picked up an Indiana Jones game from this guy on craigslist and he pretty much said if he didn't sell these he was going to pitch them all. He told me he'd ship and it sounds like he'd be willing to let them go for really cheap.

    I just figured I'd give you guys a heads up if anyone is looking for any of these. It's mainly Sierra point and click adventure games...Leisure Suit Larry, Kings Quest, and the like.

    I'd much rather have you buy them all and send them to me.

    That's a lot of nice stuff in there. Wish I lived closeby.

    Indiana Jones was pretty much the best game of the lot, still $30 for everything would have been fair. Most of the games aren't worth much but I counted 24 games total including the one you bought. $20 for everything left would be decent.

    There's a sealed copy of Night Hunter on ebay for $3.99, it's a buy-it-now. A sealed one sold earlier for $4.99. It's not a game that's worth much.

    There are two copies of The Laffer Utilities up, one with a $50 BIN and another one at $100. That's got to count for something.

    Those Larry games are worth a LOT of money if you're willing to ship overseas. Especially now that the remake has revived interest in the franchise.

    I wasn't aware of the Leisure Suit Larry games becoming more valuable lately, I have a boxed or complete copy of one of the games I got several years ago and when I checked at the time it was worth around $5-$10 if I could find the right person.

    It seems the Laffer Utilites is worth around $20-$25 complete, more if it's still sealed new. I'm a bit surprised that new copies are still easy to find, there's at least 2 completed auctions listed and 1 still listed as a buy-it-now.



    In any case that location of craigslist seems to be pretty good. If I was close enough I would buy this Genesis bundle.

    There's 21 games with the system, all I would keep is the complete Scooby-Doo Mystery and sell off the rest to break even.

    I bought the Indy game because I'm actively collecting those. If I got the rest, it would just be a rescue mission to save them from a landfill at this point. It sounds like some are worth more than I figured they would be..if nothing else I might end up telling him he might have better luck with some of them on ebay.
