Hello

I am trying to workout a deal on a small bundle of games. Would value input from those much more experienced that myself .. what is a reasonable price to pay for such a bundle.

Bomberman  cic               
Keith Courage cic       
Legendary Axe 2 cic         
Pac-Land cic               
Raiden cic             
WC Tennis cic                   
Yo Bro cic

* from photos all are in very clean, very nice condition.

Any constructive input is appreciated.

Most of 'em are worth around $10 each or less, with Raiden being the only outlier.  That said, I'd say galam is pretty close for a bundle price and no eBay fees, though I'd maybe go as high as $70 (Raiden's been pricey for a long time).

Awesome guys ! appreciate the quick input.  I walked away from the deal as the guy was certainly pushing well above those numbers.  I picked up a Turbo Everdrive a week ago .. so now can sit back and wait for the right prices to collect.

I say raiden at 30, bomberman 10, yo bro 10,  and the others should just be thrown for nothing.

there ya go, very smart and asking on here about prices is the way to do it, i use to pm a few members when i first joined inquiring about prices and such, it really helps and give you a good gauge.

my first thought was around $50 as well. You did the right thing by going with a ever drive, and just waiting for good deals to come around. The gaming community appreciates people like you who don't inflate the market because they have to "HAVE IT NOW"

Surely Legenday Axe II is worth something?

I would have said closer to $70ish for the lot, myself, but then, usually you should be able to get a little off for a lot...

I am interested in collecting at least cic for all the titles I had as a teenager, or wanted as a teenager.  I am loving the Everdrive .. but still have a desire to own, and display all these titles that hold a nostalgic value for me.  But do now feel that I can sit back, and wait to find the titles I want at a reasonable price. Is this approach that uncommon ?

Not at all.  That's what the smart people do.

This is the best approach to take nowadays what with traders/flippers on ebay trying to sell £10 games at £30 or more. Look at it this way, if you hadn't bought the everdrive and you really wanted to play those games and paid (just a random guess) $140 for them when they are only worth $50-$70 wouldn't you feel ripped off/cheated?

If you didn't feel ripped off, when you announced how much you bought them for in this thread then you would have  :D

Here is what I paid for each; seems I have spent too much from the responses so far.
Bomberman  cic - have not found yet
Keith Courage cic  - $3 (shop)
Legendary Axe 2 cic    - $18.95 (BIN auction)
Pac-Land cic  - $13.50 (auction)
Raiden cic   - $20.73 as loose chip (auction)
WC Tennis cic - $8 (shop)
Yo Bro cic - have not found yet

I suspect Yo Bro should be $10, Bomberman, I do not really know, $15?  That adds up to $88.45, but you should at least save on shipping costs per title.

EDIT:  After seeing Necro's response I included where the titles were purchased in case it would also help.

Single sales that include eBay fees are not directly comparable.
