    alot of great games, but not worth $500 to me. id bid maybe $300, seeing as bubble bobble is going for $50-$70 ,and contra force $30+ but i already have most of those. great for someone who doesnt have any of them

    Well, as an entire lot, that's pretty high. But if you were to break them down one by one, it's plausible...

    1. Arkanoid sealed with vaus controller! - 60.00
    2. Dragon warrior 2 - 20.00
    3. Final Fantasy - 15.00
    4. mega man - 10.00
    5. mega man 2 - 10.00
    6. mega man 3 with instructions - 10.00
    7. mega man 6 - 10.00
    8. Contra Force - 25.00
    9. Bonk's Adventure - 40.00
    10. Bubble Bobble - 15.00
    11. Bubble Bobble 2 - 50.00
    12. Uncharted waters - 8.00
    13. Little league baseball - 5.00
    14. G.I. Joe a real american hero - 10.00
    15 G.I. Joe The Atlantis Factor - 10.00
    16. Double Dragon with instructions - 5.00
    17. Double Dragon 2 - 5.00
    18. Double Dragon 3 - 8.00
    19. Castlevania - 8.00
    20. Castlevania II - 8.00
    21. Castlevania III - 8.00
    22. Donkey Kong classics - 5.00
    23. Tiny toon adventures - 5.00
    24. Tiny toon adventures 2 - 5.00
    25. Yoshi's cookie - 5.00
    26. River city ransom - 12.00
    27. Star Wars - 5.00
    28. Star Wars The Empire strikes back - 5.00
    29. Super Contra - 10.00
    30. Duck Tales - 5.00
    31. Big Bird's hide and speak - 5.00
    32. Baseball Stars - 8.00
    33. Metal gear - 8.00
    34. The Blue Marlin - 5.00
    35. Metroid - 8.00
    36. Super mario Bros. 2 - 8.00
    37. Super mario Bros. 3 - 8.00
    38. Ice Climber - 8.00
    39. Excitebike - 5.00
    40. The Immortal - 5.00
    41. The legend of Zelda gold cart - 8.00
    42. Zelda 2 the adventure of Link gold cart - 8.00
    43. Tecmo super bowl - 5.00
    44. Battletoads - 5.00
    45. Punchout - 5.00
    46. Mike Tyson's Punch Out - 5.00
    47. Paperboy - 5.00
    48. Paperboy 2 - 8.00
    49. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with instructions - 5.00
    50. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3 - 8.00

    Total - 527.00

    So in reality, the price isn't bad for eBay standards...he won't get it because if you sell in bulk you usually take a pretty good hit on how much you're gonna make. I'd say it's a 300.00 auction tops though.

    What a joke indeed, if they were at least boxed or complete then iŽd consider, hell no i will never pay that much for cart only.

    That Arkanoid looks sealed, so he might get it based on that alone.

    I would say 250 - 300 would defenitely be a worthy area to start bidding but 500 is just a tad bit too high ;D.

    If I didn't have all those games, I'd probably do it for $300~$400, at most.

    Aye. Didn't open the page during my first reply. Lots of nice games, but at what cost? Sheesh. I could build a decent backbone to a Game Boy/Lynx/Game Gear collection with that money...
