Wholesale import lots on eBay

[jeffhlewis]

Guys:

Has anyone ever purchased one of those wholesale lots on eBay from the Japanese sellers? The ones where there's like 100 Saturn/Famicom/PCE/whatever games in a box?

I realize you're probably not going to be finding Sapphire in there or anything and that it's mostly commons, just curious if it was worth the price of admission.

I wouldn't go for it unless the listing had a list of which games were included so you know how many of them are games you'd actually want. I've never been one to resell my games, so for me to buy a lot it would have to be mostly stuff I was interested in.

Unless you want a bunch of pachinko and mahjong games to show off at a convention to people who don't know any better, I'd say screw that crap.

Those lots are the crap games that they seller doesn't want to take the time to list individually.  You may get lucky with a Bomberman 94 or something, but never any good games.  As much as I love the PC Engine/TG-16, there are a lot of shit games out there for these systems.

Actually at the price it jumped to today, it's starting to tread into the not-a-good-deal territory. but good to know!
