What you mean the dude selling his n64 on craigslist with the 'lightly used controllers' for 300 bucks is trying to rip me off?! Noooo its not true! /sarc
Having 'collected' many games over the years. It is always the one weird thing worth something. Its worth something because usually they are crap and no one bought them in the first place (or it was meant to be thrown away). 99% of the carts out there are worth 1-5 bucks each *if* your lucky. Some ps1 games command a higher price just because they are a bit more rare, but most are junk. If I parted out my whole lot of games I own I *might* get 2-3k for it. But that is just because I am a packrat with too many carts. I am sometimes tempted to just give the whole lot away and be done with it. I would rather give it to someone who enjoys it, than is in it for the 'value'.
