Boxed Systems:

NES
SNES
N64
Gamecube

about 60 boxed NES games

some examples:

Soccer, Tennis (black boxes)
Metroid
2 Factory Sealed multi carts (one is 50 in 1, the other is like 190 in 1)

Mega Man (not sure which one)


About 20-30 boxed SNES games

some PS1 games. He has 50, but so far I only know a few, but heres some Im getting so far:

about 20-30 PS2 games

some examples:

Factory Sealed Devil Summoner 2 Collectors Edition
RPG Maker 2
.Hack G.U. Vol 2

so thats about 3 bucks per game and 400$ for all the consoles? id say thats a very good deal (if the condition is okay of course)
Assuming you already own part of the stuff, there's also a lot of resale value there.
In short: i would buy it.

most things are in EXCELLENT condition. He also has a boxed Virtual Boy im thinking about asking about because mine is missing the cardboard insert thing.

I also am trying to work in a boxed original gameboy, a PS2 Tekken 5 limited edition fight stick, a special boxd PS2 controller, and some other stuff...

There is room for profit. The only problem I see is how long can you be out that much money sitting to recoup it. Could be weeks before you'd break even or hit a profit margin. Though you know better at the rate you sell certain items.

well, Im not getting it until I get my next living expenses check, and I will have more than enough to pay all my bills for 4 months and buy this collection. as well as a few other things I have already agreed to buy from a couple people on this forum, the Np100 controller, mario kart controller, and some others.


also, Im keeping 90% of it. so I wont be making a profit, I will most likely be making just a little back. Only things Im selling or trading will be doubles, and im hoping that what I get from him will be in better condition that the ones I already have, so Im really hoping for box upgrades here.

well, if you are serious at all about flipping stuff, you need serious money to invest.
Before you know it you've got several thousands tied up in stock.
Heck, i've got stuff sitting on the shelves that i bought years ago and you need to be financially able to wait it out.

sounds like a decent deal. i'd try to add the extra stuff you listed in the lot. buying in bulk can be very rewarding, you've got a good chance with this.

EDIT: if you get it, i might be interested in some of your doubles.

Honestly mate, I feel like this is a pretty good deal. You just have to way up if you can afford to spend that kind of money outlaying on all of those items. If it were me and I could afford it, there wouldn't be a second thought. Buying in bulk like this will always put you out in front. I think you should go for it Cooper. I don't think you'll regret it.

This is a very serious question. Is there anyone in Florida who would be willing to drive me up to New Jersey to pick this up?

We would have a place to sleep there over night, food, and I will pay for all gas and everything. PLUS, this collector is also selling a lot more that I am not buying, and his prices are very good. He has a boxed NeoGeo AES system, boxed neo geo games, odysee 2, sega, and more. Tons of stuff, and tons of more boxed games and systems.

If anyone is willing to make this trip with me, you will most likely either need a van, truck, or suv.
ok. It looks like this is what we are at. Some of the games I couldnt see from the pictures, so it just says things like "the game before Zelda" I was looking at pictures, so he knows which ones I meant. We agreed on $1700 for all of this.

yeah, Ive looked into u hauls and stuff, and I think shipping might be cheaper. He hasnt gotten a shipping quote yet, but if he packs as smartly as he can (flattening the boxes and everything) I think he should be able to ship it all for somewhere around $400 hopefully. cheaper the better though obviously

Figuring in the cost of gas / time I wouldn't bite on that. I'd cut out the PS1 / PS2 / Xbox stuff and get the cost cheaper. Those are mostly duds, but he has solid Nintendo titles.

yeah. considering the games are costing me about $3 each, and there are some REALLY expensive ones in there, like Sealed paper Mario n64, CIB Chrono Trigger, etc..

Im so excited, but my check is delayed, so I wont be getting this stuff until the end of April. He is fine with holding it for me.

let me just start off by saying financial aid is the biggest pain in the @$$ ever.



BUT

I finally got it all taken care of, very recently, so my check should be arriving this time next month, and then I will be getting this collection. In addition to everything listed, he said he is throwing in a lot of extras, which I am very excited to see what they will be. He also got the shipping price, and its going to be about $250, which is WAY less than I was expecting, and am obviously very happy with that price :)

ALSO

I am still buying the NP100 controller, Mario Kart 64 JAP Game and Controller Bundle, and Red and Yellow empty boxes for JAP controllers from yet another fellow collector.

These are the 2 commitments I have made prior to having the money for the stuff, haha.

I will also be shifting my video game buying and selling into high gear to make my money back from this purchase as quickly as possible, so expect tons of new posts in the "post when you buy or sell any game" thread like I used to do before I became a broke college kid. haha

It will be filmed into probably a few pick up videos at least, but I will take pictures too. This purchase will also require an entire new room set up, because it is nearly doubling a few of my collections. Not quite sure what I will be doing yet, but I guess I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
