Its a bit easier when you don't have much of a sega collection but when you got nearly 100 sega games its kind of tough to say yes to taking on more games.

I just couldn't negotiate with the guy. He wouldn't budge an inch on price and I think if you won't budge then just say it up front and save people the time of trying to work a deal. So I just said forget it.

Sometimes you just have to know when to fold 'em. While it may be an excellent deal when you calculate the per game cost, it may still not be an excellent deal for you. There are plenty of added costs - storage, time, etc - when you buy something like that.

I typically pass on super large bundles even if they are attractive. I simply don't have the space to store it, or the time to split up and list everything.

Thats pretty much where i'm at. I'm just running out of space and I know i'll be sitting on most of it for a long while.

Castlevania Bloodlines and Hellfire caught my eye. The rest of the list didn't really impress me.

I say find the games that you'd really like to play the most out of that list and just buy those online. You could probably save yourself at least $200 that way.

I thought you said he replied with "$300 buys it" - that seems like he's budged a bit.

Right, so I offered a partial trade thinking we were trading off $300. But no, If you trade with him the trade comes off the $350 price not the $300. Felt kind of dumb to me.

I fully understand not pay'n $300 cash for that system!! I AGREE!

2 each Stuntmaster VR Victor max mint and complete.
2 each Aviator 3 Quickshot Flight control complete mint.
3 each Arcade Power Stick complete.

All the other things ect.....

If you knew someone in your area Like a SNES collector that would JUMP at Stuntmaster VR helm.
And a sega HArd core collector for the Aviator 3 and Arcade stick!!
And Sold these 3 Doubles for $260 cash.. Then $40 may have been a better price..

I'm not sure I full understand your post, but I'm hopeful it went to some one who was a real collector that would enjoy the items in the lot and if they could make some cash of it awesome. :D
