so much emotion and investment goes into this hobby, heh heh, I'll think about it. I decided to keep the systems I actually enjoyed growing up and are fun and dear to me (nes,snes, genesis, ps1). I don't think I'll be going back to buying them again, but I bet you I would rebuy the snes and nes if I sold those.
Also, why the heck do those spine cards matter so much? They don't do anything.
Spine cards matter for 2 reasons, some collectors want them, but they will really only increase value on the epic - epic games. For everyone who won't pay $35 Donpachi because it doesn't have a spine, there is someone else who will.
Now on a pricier game like Hyper Duel or Blast Wind, having the spine card can add $10-20. Its not uncommon to see spine cards to rarer games sold individually.
If you don't care about them, then no harm no foul, it won't affect sales on any of the games you have.
With that said - don't sell the modded DC's, you'll have a hard time getting $80 back out of them, more around $60, but still, its a great system, the game cases leave a small footprint, and the library is small. And the exact same can be said about Saturn. If its a money thing, then its a money thing - but if its a space thing, just rubbermaid it for awhile and give it 6 months.
One thing you can do when you don't want to list individual prices and ship individual packages is to take pics of everything you have and ask people to make offers. Say something like $50 minimum order, or shipping is $5-10-15 per order because I only use priority flat rate boxes, so this will avoid dealing with the one game at a time purchases if you wish to do so.
$4-500 is high on the DC lot, not insane but high, same goes for the $300 floated price on the Saturn lot. Keep in mind when you bundle something, people generally only "value" what they need or what they can easily flip for profit, so while you may have invested $400 into that bundle, someone else might only see $225 in their value. An example is this, maybe you value Napple Tale at $50 because you paid $50? However one sold on ebay for $35 last week, so now someone else values it at $35, now factor in that the person looking at that lot already has Napple Tale, so they would be reselling (more importantly reshipping it), so they may value it at $22-23. All of a sudden on just one game there is a $27 discrepancy. Avoid bundles unless you just want it gone or really hate packing individual packages.
