How Much Does an NES Cart Weigh?

For shipping purposes, what does a loose cart weigh?

Comments

  • about 4 ounces, some weigh up to 6/7 ounces depending on the board or if there is a battery.

  • For shipping purposes I've never gotten the weight of a parcel under 5 oz. I've used prefab bubble mailers, made my own from kraft-paper envelopes and foam padding...always at least 4.1oz image Gotta round up.
  • Thanks dangevin, but i'm looking to ship about 123 games. 
  • I thought I'd post this so everyone could see it as well (I sent it to Jared through PM):



    The formula I use is this:



    (((ounces x carts) / 1 lb) + packaging) = total weight, or:



    (((4 x 123) / 16) + 3) = 33.75 lbs.



    This is usually a few pounds over, since most games weight 3.5-3.75 ounces. So in your case, it realistically weights between 27 - 30 lbs before packaging. This accounts for the random weights of some carts over 4 ounces. 100 carts, on average, weigh 20-22 lbs.

  • Good stuff to know

    Any ideas on weight of N64 carts or SNES carts
  • I do know this, regular gyromite weighs 3.7 oz, gyromite w/ converter weighs 4.3 oz.
  • I shipped 3 boxes of 130 games the other day, and they all came in at 30lb, 10-12oz each
  • With some slight variance (mainly on the high side, mainly where RPGs like Dragon Warrior 3 and 4 are concerned), most licensed NES carts weigh in at 100-108 grams each. Unlicensed carts are generally a few grams heavier...Action 52 weighs in at a hefty 140 grams, and the heaviest NES cart I own (a Supervision 110 Games New cartridge) weighs in at 160 grams.
