URGENT ADVICE NEEDED - $1200 for 124 N64 games, buy or not?

[Richter Belmount]

I say 100 dollars

[Bronty-2]

I agree with what everyone else has said. $1200 is not a good buy.

[smork]

Maybe $300 on the outside. I'm not really interested in N64 though. $1200 is reeediculous. I can't think of many, if any, common game systems that I would pay $10 a game for a large lot. Maybe PS2. No, probably not that. Not for rentals.

I have bought many carts from rental stores, as well as having a complete N64 collection. This is not a good deal at all. While some of the carts boxed would be a great deal, you are really gambling on paying way too much for a ton of crap. Here is my advice. First of all dont offer a price until you see the product. Cherry pick the rare stuff and playable stuff and make an offer on that. The rental store wants to move the stuff, make a reasonalble offer. Tell him what is crap and what is not worth $10.00 a game. If the man throws the Ebay curve ball, let him have the games...and wish him well selling them at that price by walking away. Sometimes the best way of getting a fair price is by offering a lower one or by simply walking away.

$400.00 tops..

Shoot,I'd sell all my boxed N64 games for way less then what that place wants..

[cyberfluxor]

NO!!@(#$!()@*#!

Just watch bulk buys on eBay and you'll find better deals, or you can do the usual slow collecting by visiting your local pawn shops and thrift stores over time. If you absolutely need to collect fast, then go back to the bulk eBay stuff. At least you can see what you're getting!

[poloplayr]

NO

[lurpak]

$1000 OVERPRICED.

no way, nu uh, aint gonna happen.

hell give me $1200 and three weeks and Ill get you 200 n64 games

[Ed Oscuro]

There's a reason they're being sold sight unseen.

Also, rental games are NEVER in good condition. You have been lied to (or at least assume that).

[Steven]

Holy crap don't DO IT MAN!

If you do, I got a bridge to sell to ya....

seriously, $1200 is insane. Esp. for 124 sight-unseen N64 rental games.

[evil_genius]

NOT

[Masco73]

Holy Hell No! N64 stuff is pretty cold right now, with the exception of a few games. I have been finding games all over for $1 or $2 each. Figure it this way ,$1 for sports title, $2 for anything else and $1 per box if in good shape. This is all based on if the cart labels are descent. I would say between $250-$300 tops.

Chances are he will not come down that low, so make you offer, leave him you number and walk away. After he gets done figuring out they are not worth what he thought, I'm sure he will call. If not, you still have $1200 to spend on ebay where you will get a ton more games for the money.

Three years ago, I bought every Genesis, NES, and N64 game that a rental place was moving out to make room for more PS2 stuff. Every single game for all systems was complete and in really good shape for rentals. For the bulk deal, I paid $1 per game.

Today, I'd be hard pressed to even pay that for N64 games. Don't drop $1200 on this. Remove a zero.

[rbudrick]

If they are not duplicates and are complete, then I'd give them $5 each, TOPS. And for buying that many, I'd offer them $3 each.

Anyword on him on the N64 Games

[Cmosfm]

Like everyone already said...no way in hell!

I negotiate with ex rentals by a "per game" basis, you have to consider that they already MADE MONEY on these games by renting them out...and they've already been used a LOT...and they aren't doing a thing with them. The most I'd pay is 2.00 per game, 3.00 if they were complete and in good condition.

I'd honestly offer 150.00, take it or leave it, but if they want 1200.00 for them than they'd laugh at you and keep em storage and do absolutely nothing with them.

Happened to me once, a rental store had a storage room full of NES, SNES, Genesis & N64 games, close to 1000 games. They were doing nothing with them, they had 2 small boxes out for sale that had 5.00-9.00 price tags on them, I offered the owner of the shop 1.00 per game to take them all...she said no. I couldn't offer anymore because I don't have thousands of dollars laying around to blow and I wouldn't offer anymore than that anyway. I'm a stubborn ass sometimes.

I can only mirror what everyone else has said.

[Trebuken]

How mnay stickers on the boxes?
Are the boxes sun-bleached?
How many sports titles?
How many duplicayes?

Look for the more expensive and rare games..
-ISS 2000
-Worms
-Harvest Moon
-Clyfighters SC
-Ogre Battle
-Stunt Racer
-Kirby's and Marios

$1200 is crazy but so is $400 or less. Look at whether you can find these games anywhere else in your area first and decide if your willing to sell them on ebay. I think any boxed N64 games is worth $5 if mint, sports titles even.

Later,

Thanks for all the advice!!!! I haven't logged on for the last couple of days, didn't know there were so many responses.

I DID not buy the lot. I told the owner it's not worth it and only to contact me again if he will lower the price. He never replied =)

Thanks again for all the help

[aaron7]

Only if there were 1200 games... and even then, I'd say... why am I spending $1200 on N64 games...
