Hi, I'm trying to sell my NES systems and games. I have 3 NES systems. They are all working. I've decided that I'm going to have 3 NES system packages. Each package would include a NES, the original Power Adapter, the RF unit, the Zapper Gun and 2 controllers. I'm also going to include a number of games with each system, but I'm trying to determine which games to package with the system and which to sell individually.
Obviously I'm trying to maximize the amount of money that I can get for this stuff.
Here is a list of all the games that I have and the Rarity value and Money value according to Digital Press. All games are loose carts unless otherwise noted

Those are all the NES games I have 68 total games. I would like to divide a large number of those 68 games among the three NES system packages that I'm going to sell. And then I would also like to sell some games individually, just because they are more valuable, and I would get more money by selling them that way.
But I'm just not too sure what to do, because some of these prices that Digital Press has for these games seem out of whack with what I'm familar with. Some seem way undervalued, and some seem way overvalued. So I'm trying to figure out which games should definitely be packaged with the systems and which games should definitely be sold individually.
Here are some of the games that I would imagine would be the "LEAST" valuable from that list:
1. Super Mario Bros. - worth less than a dollar for sure
2. Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt - worth less than a dollar
3. Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt - worth less than a dollar
4. Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt/World Class - I would think this is less than a buck, but DP values it at $3
5. The Adventures of Bayou Billy - worth a buck
6. Bases Loaded - worth a buck or less
7. Goal - worth a buck or less
8. Hoops - worth a buck or less
9. Top Gun - worth a buck or less
10. 10 Yard Fight - worth a buck
11. Gyromite - worth a buck
12. Track N Field - worth a buck
13. Track N Field II - worth a buck
14. Tiger Heli - worth a buck
15. Star Force - worth a buck
16. R.B.I Baseball - worth a buk or less
17. Racket Attack - worth a buck
18. Mag Max - worth a buck
19. Astyanax - worth a buck
20. Destination EarthStar - worth a buck
Here are some games from that list that I would imagine to be the "MOST" valuable:
1. Contra - I know this can fetch up to $18 or so on Ebay
2. Dragon Warrior - I think this old RPG Classic is worth $5
3. Win, Loose or Draw (Complete) - This is my only complete game. Plus it's a Rare 3, Value $5, and that is for a loose version of the game.
4. Battletoads - DP values it at $5, don't know about that, but could be close
5. Captain Comic (upside down label) - This is kindof rare at a Rare 4, plus it's valued at $5, and this is the most rare version. The one with the upside down label.
6. Ninja Gaiden - DP only values NG at $3, but I think it gets more on Ebay.
7. Adventures of Link (grey) - again only valued at $3, but I think it gets more on Ebay
8. Adventures of Link (gold) - again only valued at $3, but I think it gets more on Ebay
9. Metroid - Only valued at $3, but I think it gets more on Ebay
10. The Legend of Zelda (gold) - I think it's worth more than 3 on Ebay
11. Tecmo Bowl - They have it valued at only $2, but I think it's worth more on Ebay.
12. Super Mario Bros. 2 - They have it only valued at a buck, but I thought that No. 2 was worth more?
13. LifeForce - Worth more than $3 on Ebay?
14. Gradius - Worth more than $3 on Ebay?
15. Mike Tyson's Punch Out - worth more than $3 on Ebay?
16. Bionic Commando - Worth more than $3 on Ebay?
Here are some games that I think DP has overvalued, but maybe I'm wrong:
1. All-Pro Basketball - They value this at $5 ? What? I thought it was only worth a buck, if that.
2. Knight Rider - They value this at $5 ? Again, thought this was worth maybe a buck.
3. Stealth A.T.F. - They value this at $5 ?
4. Little Nemo: Dream Master - They value this at $5 ?
5. Monopoly - They value this at $5 ?
6. Treasure Master - They value this at $5
7. Dungeon Magic: Sword of the Elements - They value this at $5 ? I do happen to have the manual, but still, I thought it was only worth $2
8. Crystalis - They value this at $5
9. Code Name: Viper - They value this at $5
10. Abadox: The Deadly Inner War - They value this at $5 ? I thought maybe $2 or $3.
Anyways, I'm just trying to get an idea of what are the most valuable and least valuable games from that list of 68 games, as far as Ebay is concerned anyways.
I'm sure that on Ebay, some games that aren't very rare are valued more, just because people have a fondness for the game and want to play it, but can't find it locally. I also understand that some of the games that DP values at more money aren't worth squat on Ebay, because some people have no clue whatsoever about rarity, but I'm just trying to figure out how I should make these 3 NES system packages, and then what games to just sell individually, or maybe in a little NES game lot, without the system.
Any help from any of you Ebay experts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
