That looks like quite a steal, RedSox.

Good, but not great. :p

Super Metroid goes for $30ish these days, so you essentially payed $20 for old licensed games, a copy of the best version of NES Punch-Out!!(Which I also own the cartridge of), and an NES copy of the one Zelda you really shouldn't have gotten an original copy of. Ah well, at least it's all gold and shiny and whatnot! Seriously though, trade-up for the OG Zelda son.

Seriously? K so yeah, Super Metroid is $30. But Mazin Saga is far more difficult to come by on its own let alone CIB (Im assuming its CIB). I dont really see any copies of the NTSC version on ebay right now and that alone is probably worth a little more than $50.

Add up everything els, Id say $50 is not good, but great. Especially assuming he probably only paid about $5 a game, which I would say is well worth any those.

Dude, you're always bashing on what people pick up and telling them what's good and what's not as if they can't have their own opinions about the games that they bought. 

Where are your great finds?

what wiggy said

If you look at 50$ and figure one or two games it may not be the best deal but as a whole its a pretty dern good one.

Now sure, great deals would be finding them for a 1$ at a flea market somewhere but no everyone has that luxury. Hell I live in a major city and the only fleamarket for 50 miles is a mexican hoedown with not a single game to be found.
I honestly get most my games from ebay or craigslist and sure I pay more than swap meet deals but I stay vigilant and still get them from way less than retail.

As with anything, something is worth what someone is willing to pay for them, look at VGA cased games for example lol.

Just the top row of Nes games would be about $50 if bought separate on eBay after shipping.

Also Super Metroid is creeping into the $40-$50 range.  

Also that Zelda cart looks mint.  Then all the genesis games.

I'd say it was a great pickup.

Yeah, AO007, your whole act of trying to be the final authority on all gaming purchases is getting stale. Stop telling people how to spend their money.

Now working at a comic book store with literally like, every video game thing ever.  Have a nes top loader held for me with dogbones, but most likely wind up paying about 100 bucks for it.  Still, I've looked for one for years and never had the chance to get it.  This one works no issues too. 

Anyways, perhaps here is the right place for me to chat on this: I've been dying to get the game "Skullmonkeys" for Playstation 1, even if disc only... anyone out here got one up for grabs?

Getting anything cheaper than retail is a deal.

I had an awesome day

TMNT: Tournament Fighters, Vectorman, The Adventures of Batman and Robin, and Strider (ALL GENESIS) $10 TOTAL

NES (No Cords or Controllers), Gold Legend of Zelda, Metroid and Super Mario Bros 3 for $20

Gex Longbox CIB, Gran Turismo 1 CIB $2



Also grabbed Fire Emblem Awakening $40 at my supermarket.
