Inserts & Baggies - How Much?
I'm moving and ran across hundreds, if not thousands, of baggies and boxes of inserts for the following. What are they worth these days? Are they still something people go after??
NES
SNES
N64
Some GB, no bags for this system, just inserts.

$0.10 each for a first party baggie? Maybe 20 years ago.
Inserts, I'd pair both generic SNES / N64 inserts together and again aim for 10 pairs for $15 shipped.
Actual cardboard inserts I'd assume $2-$3 each.
Of course, there are just my guesses but they sound reasonable to me.

I did mean to be conservative. Like, you could easily move them at that price. I did not realize I was THAT low.
Are you talking game baggies or console baggies? Either way they're wanted, I'm interested!
Also if you have a giant box full of them I wouldn't multiply ($ARBITRARY_DECIDED_VALUE * AMOUNT_YOU_HAVE) to get $TOTAL_GUESTIMATED_VALUE. The thing is, you can list ~100 of these individually on eBay or elsewhere, and 10 of them might sell pretty quickly and you'll be all like "cha ching immma going to Vegas lulz" but then the rest of them wont sell and will likely sit for a while. So let's say we guestimate the average one worth ~$5 I still think closer to like $2-3 each would be more fair for a giant box full of them. But again a LOT of factors come into play here. And again... my guestimate is as good as anyone's guestimate, really. This is like trying to estimate the value on some Game Boy CIB titles... very difficult.
As for plastic baggies... I see them as basically a non-game-specific insert but it can be pulled from ANY game (it doesn't necessarily have to be a specific publisher) so it's even more interchangeable than the average non-game-specific insert, so for that reason they are worth less. But also another factor here that lowers the price on these compared to the average non-game-specific insert is that ultimately it's just a plastic bag. LOL. It takes a very special breed of detail-attentive collector to care about this sort of thing... albeit YES there are still a lot of that breed of collector out there (such as probably most of us reading this). But A) less people overall care about plastic bags (but lots still do) and
ill give you a kick in your left nut and then shove a freaky fast hoagie up your ass... all for free! but I will let you motorboat my moobs. I think this sounds fair. that is all! I bid you farewell!
I LOVE moobs. That does sound fair. I only need Righty.
If it's a game specific poster or warranty card, I'd estimate the value around $5-15 depending on the title. If it's non game specific it might be a harder sell since it can be pulled from any game of the same publisher so an extremely extremely rough guestimate is ~$5/each for those ones. But that's just what it is... a guestimate. Obviously lots of factors take into play here like if the publisher is something like Atlus vs LJN (obviously Atlus would be WAY more desired) and also who is looking at the time and how much money they might have to spend. If it's a game-specific insert of a rare/desired game the value could be ~$25 or maybe even higher!

Good info. Thank you.
Searching for NES console box variants and I found a thread from MRN from TODAY?? What a treat! No legos even!

Game baggies. I don't think I have any system baggies.
