The wife has had these in a box from her childhood. Along with a working SNES and 2 controllers. Not pictured: Donkey Kong Country 1







Let me know if those pictures are potato quality...

Do I have anything here?

in my very limited experience with this, typically collectors want boxes and high quality. the issue is they made so many of these games that even now they are not worth all that much. you can check on ebay though.

If I had to guess, the titles actually worth something would be Mario All Stars, Mario Kart, DK Country 1, 2 and 3, and Mario World 2 - Yoshi’s Island. Possibly Tetris Attack also.


Most of the other titles like Mortal Kombat et all are pretty common and not really in demand that I’m aware of.



You’re probably not going to get some great amount for them, so you are probably better off keeping them for sentimental reasons.

If the SNES console is in good working order with those games you could probably get a few hundred dollars for everything on Ebay.

I’ll buy all of that off of you for $250.

That’s actually my offer.

If you are interested, let me know.

SNES really had some bangers. Forgot all about Buster Busts Loose and that Animaniacs game, both being absolute classics

None of those games are individually worth that much because they are too common. The premier titles will still sell at a decent price though because there is a market out there of people who want them to actually play them, not just the hardcore collectors.

Here's a surprise though, that little black storage box you have for the carts, that's actually worth more than any of the individual games are. Yours also appears to good condition so you can get quite a bit for it. Does it have all 4 of the little rubber feet still attached? No cracks or chips? They go for like $50 to $100 on ebay and if yours is in good shape you could get on the higher end, for just that box alone.

Dang. Thanks everyone for the info. That's what I kind of figured. I think I'll keep em for a little longer because she said the Donkey Kong is meaningful.

I was wondering about the black Nintendo holder, I'll check back later and let you know the condition

Thanks again everyone

To piggyback off this thread, It's wild how expensive Sega Dreamcast games have gotten. I was sitting on a small fortune that I sold to pay for new PS2 games at Gamestop

Not sure if Dreamcast has the same emulation issues as Saturn which make original media worth that much more if attempting to play old games.

I know PIRACY on the Dreamcast was rampant tho.

I would recommend playing Tetris Attack before selling it. It's one of my old favorite 2-player games.

I've been on the lookout for the Earthbound box for a while. I have the strategy guide, so I just need the box to make it CIB.
