You need to get the URLs of the actual images, not the pages for them.

This should tell you the rarity of the games you have. There's a couple in there I haven't seen before, but it's mostly common games. You've got a few gems in there.

Rarest ones I've spotted so far (1-10):

Star Wars: The Arcade Game - 5 (about the highest you'll find in the wild)
James Bond 007 - 6
Pressure Cooker - 4 (you've got lots of 3s and 4s)
Secret Quest - 4
Pitfall II - 4

All the games and systems are crap and completely worthless. In fact, I would be doing you a favor by taking it all off of your hands. :D


ok, now to be serious. As before mentioned, there are a lot of common games in there, but the systems such as the odyssey2 could be worth a pretty penny.
rest in peace, Ronnie James Dio! \m/

Keep the ones you like, but that is worth a lot due to the sheer volume. Does it all work?

I'm sure Yoshilime will be kicking down your front door to get 'em...

As a collector, if I were to put a number on all of these....I'd say...

$20 or so for each systems. Maybe a little extra for the Coleco and Odyssey 2. The 2600 games maybe $.50 to $1 each, the rarer ones going to $5. The Odyssey 2 games maybe $2 -$5 each.

$15 for the Super Famicom game depending on what it is, going up or down...

I think thats an Arcadia Super charger above the Super Famicom cart is prolly $15

the FF7 and Ultimate RPG Archive appear to be guides, maybe $5 each.

All in all You could get about $75-150 on ebay. The problem is that the larger quantities of vintage games wont get a huge price since they are A)mostly common games B)will cost a bit to ship so not too many people are going to bid that up. I am no means any authority on this, but I have been collecting these things for 25 years. The value is in the eye of the beholder. I've gone and bought/traded stacks of games only to hear the other guy chuckle as he walks away. I laughed because NEO GEO games were worth more than $35. Because people generally throw this stuff out, they consider it garbage and any cash they get is profit. You've got a good head start on starting your own collection there if you're interested.

This stuff reminds me of the pre-ebay garage sale finds of my youth....ahhh.....

Let me know if you want to do any trading with 'em.
