    What do you think of this NES collection? Do you think it will sell for $18,000? Note that the listing has been ended by the seller since our podcast. Check out the listing @www.ebay.com/itm/Nintendo-Nes-Collection-Little-Samson-and-all-/174560325513?

    This will sell, if anything at a slight discount. I've talked to 4 retro game store owners recently, some distances apart, and they cannot keep (valuable) NES titles around even at a premium over retail price.

Even just if my business grows enough that the current prices don't feel so bad I would jump back into collecting. The target group for this stuff isn't even 50 yet. I don't think prices will stay down forever even of they do drop. Nostalgia cycles around

    I’ve never been a collector on this scale, but for decades I held onto copies of all my favorite games: the original PS1 Final Fantasy games, the PS1 and PS2 Silent Hill games, several SEGA Genesis and SNES games including a complete in box EarthBound, among other things. Then a few years ago I finally decided that I’d rather move on from it, that I didn’t need these anymore, including my EarthBound, and I sold them off. They went for pretty good prices and still to this day I don’t regret this decision (aside from maybe I should have held out and waited for a higher offer on my EB, but oh well). I imagine selling off a complete NES collection would absolutely give you some deep feels over time, but also I do feel pretty confident that once you make the decision that you’re ready to move on, it’s easier than you think.

    I think this is the start of the NES _collections_ sell off. I think the market is more pivoting towards marquee titles skyrocketing and new younger collectors, and money, going more for that. The physical collection is just now too cumbersome. You can load the whole library on something the size of a quarter. The money will stay, it'll just congregate in the big titles. Like the Honus Wagner card. Also, I cant imagine a future non nostalgic non gaming douche buying an entire nes collection just to flex, but I definitely could see same said douche buying a CIB hyper rare title and displaying that. So the money's staying, its just no longer in the other 99%. Classic.

I’d rather have a set of just the stuff I like at this point.

    I'll bet if you punched every individual title into pricecharting, you'd wind up with a figure somewhere around 13-15k. My collection is 140 titles with nothing exceptionally rare, and pricecharting says it's worth about 2500. Until just a few years ago, selling games as a large lot meant you were accepting a smaller aggregate price in exchange for not having to piece out every bit of the collection--a lump sum that saves you from the labor of selling. Deep pocketed buyers could take advantage, keep what they wanted, and do the piecing out on their own. Now that games are looked at more as investment property, however, I can see the tables turning. The only people who are interested in a copy of Little Sampson at today's prices are the sort for whom the difference between 10k and 25k is piddling. A lot like this saves *the buyer* the effort of having to track down any pay for every individual game.

    @@simplethings749 if you're dying to get it, get an R4 and play the game on that. Then you can buy an actual copy of the game to own later on when it's much more fairly priced. The game's only been out for like, 15 years or so. I'm sure there's no urgency to buy yourself an authentic copy of the game at literally the worst time ever to buy an authentic copy of the game.

    Is it worth that much? Well id see what it costs to have 1 repro made than X that by how many games in his collection and use that as a realistic benchmark assuming all the carts are in good condition. If its more than its definitely not worth it, if its equal just buy all new carts instead if its $500 or more less than its worth it. If you want Mr Gimmick for cheaper its on PS1 in a Japanese Museum Sunsoft vol6 disc.

    Can't blame guys and gals for getting out of it with prices ballooning back up, a Pandemic causing a strain on people's income, and then just wanting to start new chapters in their lives. I've started to come across a lot more NES carts that just don't want to work anymore so who knows when the day comes that the fail rates start decimating collections.

    No. I personally tried to sell a complete licensed AND unlicensed NES set missing only Samson, Dino Peak, and Stadium Events for 10 grand about a year ago in my local area. Included all the Color Dreams, AVE, Tengen, Chiller stuff, foreign repros up the ass, etc. Had absolutely ZERO interest. Not to mention, no regular person even has $10,000 to just blow on video games anyways.... So in the end, I pieced all the shit out one by one, got about $8000 for every single throwaway garbage title all things considered, and still got to keep all of the good stuff. Sold the complete Nintendo Power Magazine set for $800 cash. And I was lucky to even get that. Don't sit around. This stuff will not be worth big bucks for very long spare the few "best of the best" name brand titles and timeless games. No regrets whatsoever. Life is worth more than video games. Wait until your friends, and family start passing away, and then you will see what really matters in life. Here's a clue = It ain't a pile of video games!

    The market on something like this seems pretty niche. Who wants to get a whole library(nearly) of NES games that wasn't already collecting to some extent? I never intended to get every game. But even if I did, I wouldn't want to rebuy the 60 or 70 games I already have. I'm sure I'm not a complete outlier.

    I'd guess someone like this just wants it all gone at once, rather than taking the time to package and ship every single game. Thatd be a nightmare. If I was the seller though, I'd put all the more expensive games up individually, and sell the cheaper games as a lot.
