I use to be a big NES collector back in the day when you could actually buy carts in the wild at places like Gamestop, EB, and Goodwill. Over the past couple years though, I lost interest in collecting for the system. And I just bought a modded Xbox recently that has about every emulator you can think of installed on it, so I doubt I'll touch another NES cart again.
Lately I've been kicking around the idea of dumping my entire collection of 722 unique NES carts on Ebay. I really haven't followed the NES scene in a while though, so I have no idea what things are worth any longer. About 100 of them are boxed (of those, about 70 are complete). I got most of the rare stuff already like all 3 Panesian titles (complete) and a sealed Cheetahmen 2. Also have a boxed Flintstones SADP and a boxed & complete Mega Man collection. Still missing some hard to find stuff though, like Stadium Events, Bubble Bobble 2, and Little Samson.
Anyone have some advice on what I should do? Would now be a good time to dump it or should I hold on a little longer? I don't need the money badly, so I'm really not in any hurry to sell. I was expecting only around $5,000 for everything but after seeing that recent auction where the seller go around $20,000 for 670 licensed carts really makes me want to dump it now. Who knows if that bid was even legit though.
Also, would piecing it out be a better way to go than selling it as one big lot? I figured that's usually the way to go but considering the size of my collection and that it's only 50 carts away from being complete, I may have better luck keeping it all together.
