September 2012 pickups
Nacho3:
I just received in the mail today three different packages from ebay auctions where they said broken or untested N64 systems. I got a total of 12 systems and only one had a jumper pak. There were no cables or anything like that. One Jungle Green, one Grape and the rest charcoal. Everyone of them worked and now I am planning to sell them individually on ebay hopefully for a profit. I'm just not sure if it's worth my time and money to buy a lot of jumper paks and cables or sell them as is. I would post pictures but I'm having a hard time getting it to work, maybe you guys can help me out. I have no problem linking to my box account but can never get pics posted directly in my message
Arseen:
Don't know has Box.net image linking, I'd suggest using imageshack.
Imageshack is not good for covers but it's good for photo posting.
Blueprint:
buying jumper pak and cables for then might cut into your profit.
try craigslist maybe a reseller who has plenty of spare parts might want them.
and you will make some money...

But can potentially add significant value to the systems as well. It would require a little research to see if it's worthwhile or not.
There are plenty of auctions with 10+ lots of jumper packs/AC adapters/AV cables. I think what would give them the most added value is controllers, but those are gonna cost a bunch versus the hookups :-\

Yeah, in fact it's not uncommon to see excellent condition N64 controllers command a higher price than a standalone system.
