    Default Free games in the mail, what to do with them?

    So today I get home from work around 10:30 and I grab the mail. After settling in I decide to open the package I threw on the couch expecting it to be something or another I ordered off ebay. Cut it open and I see a bunch of grey carts. I'm like what in the hell? I don't remember getting anything like this. So I pull em all out and they happened to be 6 super famicom games. NO IDEA how they got to me, or from where. It must have been someone who I had bought something from earlier and he misshipped them to me. I looked through my paypal history and saw no matching addresses or names.

    Now I'm hoping someone on the site didn't misship them to me cause I have no use for them and do not want them at all.

    What should I do with all these games? Sit on em for a while and see if the seller contacts me about a misship, should I sell em for profit? I could use the extra money but I have no idea what sfc games are worth, I don't really ever see them go for much. What should I do?

    Step 1: Find out who sent them.

    Step 2: Ask if he wants them back.

    Step 3: Give/trade them to me if the seller doesn't want them.
    Egbert, I miss you...

    Dude you should do like you said and just sit on them for awhile. You put the wort out here, so if no one claims them within a reasonable amount of time, then sell them.

    Attempt to contact the sender..If you can't, sit on them for about 30 days, if you still have them after that, do what you wish.

    Got the return address from the package? I'm sure there's some way to look up a phone number from a street address. If not, just send a letter to the guy's address.
