    Default Got offered classic package from distributor

    Got the following email. If anyone thinks this is a good deal and wants it let me know I'll order it for you. I myself am overstocked on all this stuff. They want $395.00 for the lot. They sent some pictures in the email I can forward. Just send me your email if you want to see the pics.

    --------------------------------------------------------


    We've put together a Little Bit of Everything, but not too much of anything in this lot. Stock or restock your online or offline store with a great selection of vintage games and accessories that your customers won't find at the local GameStop.


    Stop competing! Sell the stuff GameStop is NOT CARRYING!



    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Just like Walmart, Target and the big box stores, GameStop is giving up on PlayStation and the vintage systems (Super Nintendo, Genesis, Nintendo 8 bit). Those systems are still out there, the games aren't getting scratched - they are perfect for the 3-5 year old kids, but those darn pets still eat thru the power cords and RF cables. Great for you, now you have a customer willing to pay $15 for a Super Nintendo AC Adapter that you can make 10 bucks on!



    This lot includes the following:

    Super Nintendo
    (2) Brand New Third Party Control Pads Still Factory Sealed in Box!
    Game Genie Video Game Enhancer for Super Nintendo Without Original Box or Instructions

    alot of those are 1 cent ebay items because there are so many of them the market is flooded i.e. perfect dark. to be honest i'd say $100 would be at most what i'd pay, and seeing as how most of that stuff is either 3rd party accessories or loose carts $100 would be a stretch because don't forget it's not just the quantity of what's offered it's what you want as well, who needs 20 n64 mem cards?

    if you were a seller/store owner you could turn a profit on a $100 investment, but it wouldn't be overnight, and some of those sports games would be hard sells.

    "Pitfall!-For Intellivision (This title isn't shrinkwrapped - came out before shrinkwrap was invented?)" hehe i thought that was funny though

    I would laugh at them and question their parentage.

    The shipping would add onto the price as well.. I agree with the other folks.

    As a store owner myself that was a funny read. That for the most part is the junk of the junk with only a few good things mixed in.
    Funny thing is i bet they have sold a bunch of lots like that to resellers on ebay and those resellers are so happy for the deal. HA
    If you are ever in St louis stop by my store Trade-N-Games. I have a huge selection of vintage games along with the new systems. Or shop online now www.tradengames.com

    Better off buying 1 game at a time on ebay and immediately reselling it 2 seconds later.

    The first thing that comes to my mind when reading is:

    When was shrinkwrap invented?

    lolol

    Yeah, it's pretty damn bad. There's games in there that even I am trying to figure out how to get rid of - right off the bad, the Game Gear Sonic games. I've got two just like that seller.

    Fancy paying me $200 for them? Look, it's a huge discount over what they're offering! GOGOGO

    I could maybe see those games being worthwhile if you were putting together console + game packages for eBay, but you should have those games anyway, through thrifting or whatever.

    Come on guys not all at once. This is a once in a lifetime deal that only store owners are privy to. I'm your inside man.

    Offer him one third of the amount and if he refuses and you really want it offer half of it,but if you want my advice don't even consider this.
