Just came across this auction for about roughly half of a NES set.



http://www.ebay.com/itm/Massive-Collection-Of-379-Complete-In-Box-Nintendo-NES-Games-Cib-Lot-/371247634793?&_trksid=p2056016.l4276



I didn't have time to really go through the list but it seems like there aren't many heavy hitters here, if at all.  I have no idea if the pricing is accrate/fair for what he's asking.

    Since I'm new around here, could someone explain if that is a fair price or what the general mechanics are of judging a collection on a $ per game basis?

    It's not a very accurate way, but it's easier (for me at least) to comprehend than $11370.

    I think that this lot will be a really tough sell, especially at that price. No killer almost all filler.

    There is a handful of good stuff there, but as Kyle said a lot of filler that's for sure.

    i didnt personally do the math but at 30 a game i find that far from a deal. Im not super up to date on prices but in a bulk lot like that youd have to go probably cheaper or between 12-18 a game maybe just imo. i could be off but either way its a fat amount of games. I just feel that if you took the time to amass that, that you would take the time to break it down to smaller lots. To post it in one huge lot and expect that kind of money is pretty wishfull thinking.

    I've been collecting NES CIBs for a while and I can tell you that it is getting really difficult to find completes in the $15 range. I would say that $30/game is not that far off. If it sells as a huge single lot on ebay the price will be lower than that.

    A bit of uncommon/higher value CIB there, but lots of LOW end filler types too.



    Needs current photos, lots of stuff in the pics isn't even on the list.

    I was looking to sell my CIB NES collection a while back and I was asking $8,000. Highest offer I got was $7,000. I have probably about the same number of games, but I have some pretty good rares in the mix. (I didn't sell the lot and it's off the market now).



    I would say that the lot is over priced, but why low-ball yourselff when you can throw any generic number and have eBayers make an offer.



    EDIT:  I see Goal Two and Casino Kid II in the pictures, but not in the list of games.  Wondering if they're pulling some of the titles from the lot.

    I remember when I was doing NES CIB back in 2009 and I used to limit myself to about $5 / CIB on generic stuff in okay condition. And I actually got above the 600 CIB mark before scaling back! Of course times have changed but $15 - $20 (or higher) for average condition common CIBs is crazy. You can buy a lot of them individually at BIN prices in that range.
