Hopefully a good find coming
I am just too excited I have to post now. I made flyers around a few local towns for nes games. I just got a call 3 days later and someone has 40-50, She asked if I resell, play or collect. I told her I play and collect. She said it would take a couple days to get all the games together so hopefully she isn't looking them up on ebay. I hope I get some decent titles

More than just getting the deal though, many people with extra time simply will never get around to taking the games out and forget about you, lose your info, act like they never heard of you, etc. Nintendo is important to you but not to them so much! So that's another reason to do it ASAP.
Just ask if you can see them tonight, or tomorrow morning or whatever, and if they are surprised and say they need to dig them out, just say "it would really be great to do it before (insert two days into the future)", saying it works much better for you or whatever. You don't have to lie or give BS excuses just don't let them off the hook without an appointment is the real point.
Anytime you give a potential seller time to think, usually their "second thoughts" are exactly that. And never deal on the phone or quote prices sight-unseen. This is unfair to them since it can give them false hopes, or can backfire in the opposite direction - spurring them to do actual research and they'll refuse to sell if they have a gem (or worse, cherrypick and pawn off the garbage on you when you get there at 8am to look a a box of crud).
Good luck, good idea and good hustle. Keep it up and canvas the same areas in 2 weeks, the signs will get wet/removed and even if the same person sees it twice, three times or more, there's always the chance they were meaning to call you but lost your number, or didn't have time to take it down, etc.
