Those look llike Original Nintendo ones?

from what i can see from the picture they look like the original ones

Wlel if those are original then quality is as good as the original's.

No, what i ment was that they look as the original but they aren't

I've used one or two of these before

The quality of the shell itself is decent.  The mold is actually of a better design as there are virtually no sinkmarks for the standoffs and screw bosses when compared to the original shells.   The downside is that the plastic is far more brittle and you'll need to be very careful when screwing it together for the first time as the screw bosses don't come tapped, the screw will tap the hole the first time you use it.  The other issue is the R/L buttons and bumpers.  The plastic is of a noticeably lesser quality and there's no texture like the original parts.  They're sort of shiny. 

Despite the short comings, I would very much so recommend them still.  You can use original R/L buttons and bumpers with a little trimming here and there if the new parts bother you at all.  I can also post pics of the differences if you'd like.

I'm in Australia and this bundle popped up. How much would you American's say this lot is worth? Wouldn't mind that legend of mana.

Not sure whats in that stack off to the side, but just from what I see, Id pay 100-120 for everything, assuming it was complete etc. Tad less than full market value but if you pay that your gonna have a bad time lol.

Besides castlevania, the only other game I can see worth some value in the stack to the side is einhander and the point blank games. It's a shame since I love the PAL versions style a lot more, but some of those games go for around 200 bucks, especially symphony of the night.

Um, R-Type Delta is worth about 40-50, Alundra 30-40, and BOF 3 about 35-40.  I'm guessing you guys don't do a lot of PS1 collecting, eh?

Also, where are you seeing Einhander and the Point Blank titles?

It's off to the side in another picture. I collect PAL ps1, but just wasn't too sure on the NTSC prices. I think I might pull the trigger on this one. Maybe drop about 120-140 on it or so. Seems to be a sweet bundle.

Shit, if you don't, then send me a link.  That stack of stuff is a steal at $140

I already have all these games, and probably to a fault been some time since I have bought them so my prices are probably way off, either way I always shot for never paying more than 60% of current market value.

Yeah, same here (own most of them, at least the one's I'd want), but still, at just over 100 bucks you'd be getting a steal.  That has resale all over it

I recently got Vagrant Story, BoF 3 and 4 for ps1 in PAL. But I reckon I'll definitely drop the cash onto it thanks guys. I'll be sure to post more pictures if I win it.

I wouldn't think twice about it if that lot was 100, even 150 or 175. a lot of those games are going for a pretty good amount of eBay

[madrocsz]

Yeah, good deal . Linky to my PS1 games, been at least a year since I bought any ps1 games, possibly even longer

So that lot I was talking about has 6 hours to go and it's hit 255 dollars. I really thought I was on a cracker of a deal Never mind, I guess I can always emulate or create my own versions of ntsc games.
