Name your price. Honestly. My NES just crapped out on me.

For a while I bought and sold NES SNESs and whatnot on ebay, finding what i could from garage sales, and I can honestly say it isn't worth it to sell it, if you cleaned it up and did a huge detailed description on ebay you could get 100$ for all of it, but imagine the countless hours of entertainment you could get making your kids play it. Or hell even play it yourself. I just beat zelda II for the first time yesterday, that was the most satisfying ending credits iv seen since I beat IWBTG.

Thanks for all of the replies, y'all. I think I'm going to go the eBay route. I've sold lots of stuff on there for more than I was expecting to get. I would keep the system, but I don't play video games nearly as much as I used to, and when I do, I almost always play the Wii. With emulators and Virtual Console, if I ever did have the itch to play this stuff again, I'd have the means, and I'd have another $100 in the account and less junk in the living room collecting dust. And I'm sure the kid won't have any shortage of toys to play with, so as rewarding as it would be to share my childhood experiences with him or "force him to play Mario or Zelda", I think I'll let him choose what he wants to play with, and if it's a video game on the Wii, that would be great.

Nice tip on Play 'N Trade - one of those just opened up about 20 minutes from my house a few months ago and I didn't even know it (used the web site's store locator). Oh, and I also beat Zelda II, except on the GBA remake. Couldn't have done it without the walkthrough I downloaded. It took me forever to find that stupid tree in the forest, and I never would've gotten through those last few dungeons.

By the way, if this discussion caught your eye and you decided you'd like to own this collection, you want to make a bid and see what happens, or you're just feeling generous today, follow the link.

Dammit, it sold already? I just realized I had an inbox message offer from you, MJ. Well, job well done I suppose.

$150.00! Not bad. I don't think anyone here gave you an estimate of over 100.00.
