Have a chance to get 5 snes games: Sunset Riders, Kirby Super Star, TMNT Turtles in Time, Mega Man X2, and Mega Man X3 for $180. Kind of a lot to drop on carts all at once, but they're tough to find titles. yea or nay? thanks.

Yes, each of those is worth like 30 to 50 bucks. It's a great deal.

Standard values for each of those going off the app I use to check prices (which assumes good conditions):

Sunset Riders $40-$48
Kirby Super Star $30-$32
TMNT Turtles in Time $37-$38
Mega Man X2 $87-$132
Mega Man X3 $150-$197

TOTAL: $344-$402

It's worth it for the MMX games alone.

I use pricecharting.com

Sunset Riders- about $45
Kirby- bout 25
TMNT- bout 40
MMX2-bout 75
MMX3-bout 120

I knew it was at least a decent deal. I just couldn't decide if it was worth going out for.

I don't like to pay FMV on old retro games. Finding the best deals can be a fun game in and of itself.

The [insert system] Collector apps by PureGaming.org (on iOS). They list two sets of values, one based on input from users and one from an average of recent eBay and etc. prices, both of which are updated periodically. The values are listed based on cart (or disc) only, cart (or disc) + manual, or complete.

I use them for a combination of collection inventory and price guide. I also use the CollectorZ app/software to keep track of my collection as a whole.
