Comes with Games

Games collecting is an interesting hobby with many unexplainable facets. A boxed console with a whole bunch of games can sell for far less than the total amount of the games listed seperately. The best eBay bargains tend to come from large lots. Have a look at these:

An original Sega Master System with 76 boxed games. A zero feedback seller offering a high initial price, but if you could collect, just over £2 a game seems to be a great price.


Indeed at £2 a game plus £1 delivery, these games bought individually on eBay would run you about £250. If only the seller had put up a list of games so that we could identify and proper rare games in the lot.

Next, a bandwidth-sapping N64 collection that sold for £225.55. Again, this is PS3 type money, but you get so much more. The list of boxed games is pretty average, with highlights including both Zelda games and Bomberman Hero (which I love). With the N64 having poor cardboard packaging, there is a big resell market for unboxed games as many collectors know that it makes sense to collect carts only to save a big chunk of cash building their N64 collections. Unboxed gems here include Conker's Bad Fur Day and Mario Party. 24 unboxed games, 22 boxed games, various 'stuff' including a multiregion adaptor mean that this was a bargain; the individual resell value of the whole lot is closer to £350. The buyer could get a quick 50% return on their investment, or hold on to the lot and expect it to be worth £450 in a couple of years. N64 games are massively accruing in price, so well done to the buyer of these games.
