    Default Thinking about selling off my nes collection

    I badly need money and they're taking up a lot of space. Not a ton of games (about 100) but a few stand out titles I don't see super often:
    Super Dodge Ball
    TMNT 3
    Metalstorm
    Kid Icarus
    Castlevania 3
    Crash and the Boys
    Ninja Gaiden 2
    All the Mega Mans

    I dunno. A few others. Nothing super rare.

    My question is, should I try and sell all as a lot or sell them in smaller lots, or individually for the better games then sell the commons as a lot?

    Thanks in advance.

    Generally speaking there is nothing rare in the games you listed. Unless the Mega Man 1 you have is the 5-screw variant, I wouldnt worry about selling your collection.

    I would sell the Megaman games together, they seem to go for more as a set.
    Anything else just list individually and you will make a little more. Sell the commons as a lot.

    Agreed, when you sell as a lot you will always make less. I started my collections by buying lots and I saved a ton of money so as a seller if you don't mind the extra work that goes into selling the individual games that'll be the way to go.

    If you do decide to sell please let me know as my NES collection is the smallest of all my consoles and I'd be willing to urchase quite a few games from you.

    For more expensive games, by all means, sell them seperately, but for commons all the ebay fees of selling each game on its own (and trying to move particularly undesired games on their own) would more than overcompensate for the losses of selling them in a lot.

    Yeah I know there's nothing rare in there, but as I said some games you don't see all the time.

    Mega Man is the 3 screw. I could just sell like the two zelda golds as a set, the three castlevanias, the first two contras (wish I had force ha) Mega Mans, the 3 Turtles (again, wish I had tournament fighters)

    then sell the rest as a lot. Wouldn't make much though, overall.

    When I said theres nothing rare in there I meant like, nothing super hard to get back at a later date. Youve got some games worth some money so dont rush to get rid of everything. Crash and the Boys is actually fairly hard to find but its not expensive online because nobody really wants it. Might wanna look through your games for other 5-screw variants, some are worth more money.
    Metalstorm is uncommon also.
