That's weird. That collection isn't worth anything near what the seller is asking for it either. Especially considering you'd only be getting three complete copies out of all those discs.

About 5 bucks per disc, not too bad.

Exactly, only three copies of XI. There's something like 40+ incomplete games in that lot.

All discs should play, but the photos of disc surfaces are terrible!

I'm actually missing 1 disc from 7, and 1 from 8 (brothers friend borrowed, might have returned but at least they are somewhere unknown places)
Too bad mine are PAL.

Is it water or just a reflection?

I wouldnt give this guy very much, If it was me i'd sell these as replacement discs for people that have lost one. Maybe get the really scratched up ones resurfaced.

A friend back in high school dropped one of his FF7 discs  and it cracked. So I had to lone him mine till he got to the next disc.
After giving him a rash of shit about it.

anyone watch ebay auctions very often?

I am always hunting for SNES CIB collections to try to complete my raw scan collection and I can not believe what I see with these auctions. I just watched a guy sell his SNES collection today. So far, the guy has made over 1,000 euro with about 10 games (10 times what he would've paid retail.) I am stunned at some of the prices because the games themselves are stupid as far as i'm concerned. I like Spider-Man, for example, since my childhood. I collected Spider-Man items. I've played Separation Anxiety and I think it's a stupid game. I'd rather play Donkey Kong Country. But I've seen this CIB sell for 309euro today  :o  Doh! Damn Batman and Robin sold for over 200 euro and Spawn sold for over 200. Unbelievable. I know why I have no scans of these games.

I am beginning to realize that, unless someone will scan some of these boxes/manuals, i'll never get scans of these games. I am stunned. I watch these auctions and the prices jump by 20-50euro in the last seconds of the auction. Entertaining, yes, but disappointing too. I'd like to get some of these games to scan. son-of-a-batch. I guess that I better find a game buying job if I want to buy some of these snes games.

Perfect.

I'll add more stuff before bed. I am still resting my back. I have an appointment in the morning, then i'll have all afternoon/evening to add more scans.
I'll be adding Kawasaki, Cool Spot, Super Hockey and Space Ace. I still have to scan Mr. Nutz. I'll be getting Smurfs CIB this week.

like I said, my mediafire account is acting strange tonight. I made a box.com account. let me know if you have any problems.

also, i'll be working on unfinished covers this week. namely DKC Competition. Been so busy lately I just couldn't get it done.  I didn't forget about it...
