Is this a good deal for snes games?

Post by shateredsoul »

A guy on craigslist offered me the following

Secret of Mana CIB
Star Fox CIB

and Yoshi's Island, Final Fantasy Mystic Quest, and Donkey Kong Country

for a total of $100

Without Secret of many I can get the bunch for $40, so essentially I'm getting Secret of Mana for $60. It seems like everything is at a pretty good price but I can't make my mind up about the Secrent of Mana game. Any thoughts?

That is an insanely good deal. Secret of Mana for the cart alone can go for about ~$50. Yoshi's Island isn't one of the super rare ones nor is it that cheap though. Star Fox CIB is probably worth something and yeah.

I'm jealous.

Just don't get screwed over by craigslist. Did they post pictures and stuff too? Hopefully you can see the quality of what everything looks like somehow before buying them.

Yeah I'm going to check the quality first, I know Final Fantasy Mystic Quest has label wear, but he didn't mention any other defects with the other games. They looked pretty good in the pics

As discussed, the big kicker is the condition and completeness of the two CIB games.

I estimate that Secret of Mana with box and manual goes for about $50 - $65; if it has the map, add $20 to that range.

A CIB Star Fox probably goes for $20 - $30.

You're really counting on these two to drive the deal, so don't get screwed on condition.
