Is there a market for NES games? I have 15 of them. Looked them up online about a week ago and most range from $20-$30. A few from $5-$10, all prices based on two sites I looked at. I've kept them in my house forever, have no clue why.

Anyways, just curious bc I have no use for them and figured maybe someone would. Any help would be appreciated.

Only place I know of still is Gameware in the mall. Don't know how much you'll get for them though.

Selling online may be your best bet.

Where at online would they be good to sell?

Also, as far as gameware, I'm not concerned with getting face value for them. I just don't use them and after looking online, figured someone could.

If brought to gameware, I'm guessing I'd get pawn prices for them?

Sounds like a plan. I'll take your money first, then let you check my knuckles up close.

It's been awhile since I've sold an old game there, so I'm not sure. I'd bet you'll get more money selling online since they're concerned with profit margins.

I just sell locally because of quicker money and convenience.

If selling online I'd think just something like craigslist or ebay are your best bet.

I have a Metroid Prime strategy guide lying around somewhere. Straight up trade? Shows you where EVERY energy tank is located.

I just want to say the "your mom" joke that immediately popped into my head was hilarious.

Sounds good dude's rug. I'm on the road now, but as soon as I get home, I'll list them. I'm pretty sure I know them, but don't want to list wrong, just in case.

Super Mario bros 3 - 2x
Super Mario bros 2
Final Fantasy
Zoda's Revenge
Tecmo Super Bowl
NFL Power Play Series
NEW Play Action Football
Ninja Gaiden
Track and Field II
Legendary Wings
NES Tennis
Kings of the Beach
Bayou Billy
Snake Rattle and Roll

That's the 15 I have. After doing research on 2 sites, the total for all 15 is about $180-$190. I'd like to try to sell them all together so I don't end up with just a few less desirable ones laying around, but understand some may not draw interest and others may.

As I stated before, I'd like them to go somewhere they'll be used. If you want any or all, let me know and we can discuss prices. I'm not trying to rip anyone off, so I'll be fair.

Also, that is 2 Super Mario bros 3s. I have no clue how I ended up with 2.

Eta - here's one of the sites I got prices off of. Have no clue how accurate they are, just letting you know. Lukie Games

Eta 2 - Just a reminder, I have no clue how accurate those prices are. Just a site I used as a guide. Could be completely wrong though.

Thanks for the list. Unfortunately, I have all of those. I was hoping you had a Little Samson or Power Blade or something equivalent.

Below is a link to Pricecharting. This is the go to website to check prices on retro games.
