Hi, I've a small lot composed by 30 games, SMS console, 2 controller and a light gun. I'm wondering how it can worth, all games should have the instructions and the original boxes. Only the Alex kidd box is a bit damaged. I've saw your Rarity list, but I don't know how much is worth a 1 or a 4. So, I'm here to seek some help from whom know this world much better than me. I'm looking for single item/full lot pricing, or also some other sites I can browse to figure it out by myself. (I've found only gamevaluenow.com but it seems to be only for the American Market) drive.google.com/file/d/0B8zSDtZdH5mvRzh6anYxOUxMYlU/view?usp=sharingI'm from Italy, so everything is Europe Version Thank you for your time and for any advise you can give me. Title - Your Rarity Rating Alex Kidd: High Tech World 3 Altered Beast 2 Assault City 4 Chuck Rock 2 Cloud Master 4 Danan: The Jungle Fighter 5 Double Dragon 1 Dynamite Dux 4 Forgotten Worlds 4 Gauntlet 2 Ghostbusters 2 Ghouls'n Ghosts 3 Joe Montana Football 5 Marksman shooting / Trap Shooting / Safari Hunt The combo cartridge 4 Master of Darkness 2 Michael Jackson's Moonwalker 1 Operation Wolf 1 Putt & Putter 4 Quartet The mega cartridge 5 Rescue Mission A Mega Cartridge 1 Running Battle 4 Shinobi A two mega cartridge 1 Submarine Attack 3 Tennis Ace 2 The Addams Family 6 The Incredible Hulk 7 Thunder Blade A two mega cartridge 1 Time Soldiers 4 Wonder Boy In Monster Land A Two Mega Cartridge 2 World Soccer The Mega Cartridge 1

Hi and welcome. Obviously this is only my opinion and I am relatively new myself to the SMS. Firstly, keep it and play it, don't sell it! When it comes to selling this stuff, a lot of it is down to condition, when listing it make sure you have plenty of pictures with a thorough description of each item. The better the listing the quicker it'll sell or the more you'll make in auction. I don't usually sell a lot, but when I do sell I find it most useful to check the sold prices on eBay and see what the last few auctions went for. A lot of the unsold games with BIN prices are way overpriced. If it were me selling that, I'd sell it as a large bundle after removing a few of the games that may be worth selling separately. Obviously as a bundle you will get less than selling each separate, but after factoring in postage for each of the lower value games, it would probably work out little different and be far less hassle for you. As for the rarity ratings, they don't directly translate to value, for example: Master of Darkness (2) is of higher value than Assault City (4) Off the top of my head, from that list, the ones I'd sell separately are: Cloud Master Danan Dynamite Dux Forgotten Worlds Ghouls and Ghosts Master of Darkness Quartet Addams Family The Incredible Hulk Time Soldiers Hope that helps you a little, but I would definitely get a second opinion on this.

Thank you for yours kind advices. I'll look furthermore through ebay to try to give a more accurate price tag, with a focus on the titles you have highlighted for me. Also I will do more and better pictures of each item I'll sell.
If someone esle can help me understand the value range of these items (10€?, 20€?, 50€?) it would be surely appreciated.

Look at SOLD prices, not asking prices as well as the condition they are in.
Personally I take good photos and descriptions and just auction each item starting at £0.99 and let the market decide the price. There are plenty of collectors out there, if you do your job properly you'll get the market value and get rid of what you don't want in 10 days.
If you want to sell quickly, sell to a reseller like Console Passion but they will give you under market value for obvious reasons, but you have the benefit of offloading everything in one go, getting instant payment, no ebay and Paypal fees.

Rarity ratings have become worthless since People started hoarding things and no one can tell who has how much of what.

what means CIB-TOP? Is something made up by this seller or has a real meaning? It's just made up by the seller, it perhaps refers to the condition but I would stay away from using terms like that. Most collectors just stick with CIB (cart/instructions/box) or CB (cart/box, no instructions). And what about the last number? Is a code assigned to a specific PAL country? Has it a real mean in terms of valuating a copy or I should stay with the PAL/NON PAL division? The number in this case is probably just a stock number for the seller's own reference. He is selling around 3500 items so a number will help him easily identify which game he has sold. Last thing (for now), how should I consider a game in these conditions? Is nearly mint a fair esteem? I agree that the game is near mint, but I'm always a little wary when selling on eBay and I tend to list items as "Good". Take lots of clear photographs, and mention in the description that buyers should judge the condition for themselves. If you list something as mint or near mint, and the buyer disagrees with your assessment, they could try to claim a refund from you.

As usual Barney is spot on with his advice here.

Ok, I'm back. Based on the sold auctions on Ebay it appears that mine 30 games + power base + 2 controllers + light gun are esteemed around 630€. It's a reasonable amount or I'm very bad at online researching? Haven't found info about The Incredibile Hulk, so anyone can do a rough esteem for me? ( complete and very good conditions Here the list of the games and theirs pictures. As always, thanks in advance

I could be wrong (it happens once or twice every couple years ) but I think the only way you could possibly come close to that sales figure is if you sell each item individually. Even then I think that may be a stretch. Don't forget eBay is going to take their 10% of the entire sale price (includes shipping cost). I would try to sell off some of the "rarer" games individually and then lump the more common ones with system and sell it as a lot. I'm sure some of those games could sell here if you're willing to accept offers. Once again good luck!

Yes, 630€ was the amount esteemed on individuals prices. I'll accept less, if someone would buy the entire lot. Thanks again
