I recently found a guy who is willing to sell me 13 NES games for $2/cart. Now, I was wondering if this is a decent price for these games or if I should not bother with them. I don't know exactly what the ames are yet, but I know 3 Ultima games in there.

Thanks

It really depends on the games, but that could be a decent(not great) deal. If they include instructions and/or boxes, that's a steal.

He's got 4 of the games in boxes. He said they are in working order, and not bad contion.

I'd probably do it, then. Again, get a list first-- if they're all SMB/DUckhunt, it's not worth it.

Yeah, I mainly want to get the games that NES-Luke and I don't already have.

If they are all different,with out doubles i'd do it, here in holland at the flea they sell them even $3-$4 a piece and those are only carts.
As you said there are a couple boxed ones,i'd totally do it,well offer him $25 instead of $26,he'll take that i guess.

My NES collection so far...

funny, you guys are telling her exactly what I told her :P she doesn't like to listen too well though :P

what _I_ say you try, is offer a buck a cart and take 'em all at once. if that doesn't fly, offer $20.

but again, give me a list of what they are, we really don't need any more SMB/DH carts, I'm already GIVING them away.

If they are all different ones, it's a good price.
For how much did you buy it, then?

Do you really have so many Duck Hunt carts, Luke? :lol:
I don't even have one. They seem kind of rare in Germany.

SMB/DH is the MOST common cart ever, I had three of them (still do for a few more days) and I'm sure I'll end up with more in the future...

I would say so, I've only ever seen one SMB cart. but EVERYONE has SMB/DH, most people have a few copies of it. I own three, and there is a 4th here too.

That's really interesting to know.
What is common in Germany is a cart with SMB, Tetris and World Cup.
I never saw a SMB Duck Hunt cart here.

Did that happen to come with the system itself? If so, North America was getting ripped off!

Yes, it came with the NES and a 4 score adaptor.
I can't temember well, but I don't think they sold it seperately.

Well, the closest thing we had to that over here was the NES, Power Pad, and SMB/DH/WCTM. I think I would've MUCH rather Tetris come with my system than Duck Hunt :cry:

Duck Hunt rocks!

but only for a few minutes, it's always the same. Tetris is always fun to pick up and play for a half hour or so.

I second that.

For the NES I prefer duckhunt to tetris, but that's because i've always prefered tetris on the gameboy.

I never was a fan of Tetris until I played it on the NES just recently. it was OK for a few minutes. But now I'm actually having fun with it. I just wish I could find Tengen Tetris, since it's such a superior game.
