But there's little point in wasting your liquidity buying a lot of games at once only to have them gather dust. In fact, the liquidity you waste is your gaming one, because the more games you have, the less interested you become in them.
Anyways, other than the RPGs and the Megaman titles, I don't think there are any big name games that are expensive or going to change enough in price to get them now.

True. Glad I've got most things on the SNES I already want. I still need Mario RPG, Ogre Battle, Secret of Mana, R-Type 3, Space Megaforce, and I guess I might get Earthbound again one day (don't care too much though, to be honest).
First let me just say that if you have a collection of great games and love the snes then don't sell it at all. Comming from experiance I have been there. I sold all my games and snes made almost 600.00 for christmas grifts for my kids a few years ago and I have NEVER EVER had the chance to get my collection again. Get a loan or sell other stuff you don't play or want.
I have a genesis for this reason because games now are soo expensive for the snes. Even genesis games are getting up there. I only will buy genesis games after I beat the ones I got. That's what I have been doing for the nes aqnd genesis.
Bottom Line You will regret and hate yourself for selling the snes.And believe me that 350.00 is guranteed to be used for something else. Get a loan or sell stuff at a pawn shop or hell do a yard sale this weekend.
Is it just me, or does it seem that anything with the name "Nintendo" automatically gets it a price markup? You find new sealed dreamcast games online sometimes for less than the used prices, but NES to 64, hell even GC games JUST CIB can cost nearly 40 to 50 dollars. Not just online either. EVERYONE know's mario, and so EVERYONE wants to sell him for 40 bucks a cart. You can easily get 20-25 games in perfect condition for Genesis, but that's the price you'll pay for a first party NES cart. That is ridiculous. It even shows in my signature, I've wanted to start up a SNES or N64 collection, ever since I started retro collecting but it's so damned expensive that it's just not worth it.

It's getting close to Christmas lol, prices are going to go up near Christmas. They always do.

I'm missing Space Megaforce and R-Type 3 myself and I just haven't been willing to put down the amount of cash people want for them because I don't like them that much. Run Saber is another game I've been seeing inflate recently.
I got lucky with Super Turrican 2 and a bunch of other games though so I'll continue to play the waiting game until a good deal rears its head.
VVV
