Yeah, I don't think he's going to sell any of that.

I've noticed that when prices are referred to as insane, there are two polar opposites that they can be. The first is that they're incredibly expensive. The second is they're incredibly cheap. I take it this is the former.

i don't know. Some of them arn't THAT bad.

US $170.00- 10 CIB n64 games.

* 1x Conker's Bad Fur Day
* 1x Goldeneye 007
* 1x Quest 64
* 1x Perfect Dark
* 1x PilotWings 64
* 1x Resident Evil 2
* 1x Super Smash Bros.
* 1x Turok 2: Seeds of Evil
* 1x The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
* 1x WWF Wrestlemania 2000

none are really duds except the wrestlemania game. All complete. Smash brothers and RE go for like 30 or 40 by themselves.

Almost all of those games go for $5-$10 CIB, including RE2. Smash Bros, Zelda and Conker are the exceptions. I'd estimate it at around $140 plus shipping. Like you said, not to bad, but still a little overpriced. Usually when you purchase items in lots you save a few bucks.

There seem to be 2 possible reasons as to why this has happened. The guy might be too lazy to find out the real value of each game, or he wants to make an enormous profit, but doesn't realize that on ebay there is always a better deal.
