A local collector to me is selling off a huge amount of his collection of which the following pictures is three of the items that he has and I'm trying to determine if A these are real and B if the prices on posting are fair for the items because they're so very little info on them. as for prices i really dont know what is fair but judging off ebay i can only find the gray nes test has sold for 200 and 300$,the yellow has only had port deck and control deck carts sold NO joystick test carts. the other 2 yellow have sold for 600-1400$. as for the snes burn in i dont know what to do. vgpc shows a bunch of fakes at 35$ but actual real ones are from 3-10+ years ago on vgpc and are 100-1k$. he said he paid 500$ for the snes burn in and a guy i talked to that runs a store said he knows someone who sold one in mint mint shape for 1500 last year. i was thinking 200$ on gray,400$ on yellow,and 1k$ on the snes test but i really dont know if im over paying underpaying or what. his list is as follows of what hes selling.....

The test carts look good to go authenitic wise. Is it me or does the SNES cart seem way too high at $1000. Many of the other carts seem to be priced pretty well. Cannot see condition. That is alot of money to spend. I personally feel
if I am putting down close to 5000 dollars I want one heck of a deal.
There are a bunch of revisions of the Burn-In and I can't believe one sold for $1500. I always thought it was the most common SNES Test cart, but it is always popular. Someone here has one on listed on Ebay right now for $2499.99 with quite a few watchers.
I think I remember one that sold on Ebay for around $1000 a few years ago because it took a 2 or 3 years to find someone willing to pay that much.
I have a copy of the Burn-In, NTF 2.5, and Super Scope and I don't think I ever paid more than $200 each for any of them. I won the NTF 2.5 at auction about a year and a half ago for under $200 and talked the seller into selling me the Super Scope I needed too for around $200 because she had a bunch of test carts with duplicates and even multiple revisions.
If you pay $1000 for it just for resale, it might take you a while to make a profit.
