Complete CIB SNES collection on eBay

Post by Ziggy »

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Complete-US-Sup ... 460ae01b74
You are bidding on a complete set of every North American Super Nintendo (SNES) game ever released. This set is the result of half a decade of collecting.

I was limited to only 12 images, but I actually have 42 images at higher resolution:
You can view all of the images here: imgur.com/a/AQp5R

All 721 games sold at retail in the United States, Canada and Mexico are included.
Also included is every single box ever released. Note that Mario-All Stars+World, Super Scope 6, and Miracle Piano did not have individual game boxes.
Also included is 605 unique game manuals, comprising 84% of all manuals. I have approximately half of the rarest manuals here, but you can see specifics below.
Also included are 400-700 white box inserts, 400-700 white usage instruction booklets, 400-700 Nintendo Power advertisement cards and posters, 300-500 registration cards, and 100 or so posters.
Also included are 26 duplicate games, 15 duplicate boxes, and 50-100 duplicate manuals.
What is *not* included is any not-for-resale, unreleased, and unlicensed games.
Please see the list below for the full inventory.

I don't know how long that auction has been up, but there's been 80 offers already. And it's pick-up only!

PS, sorry if this has been posted already. I checked quick and didn't see anything. Merge/delete if necessary.

The seller is apparently byuu of bsnes fame. He collected all of this to dump it and scan it and preserve it for the future

He's now selling it all off because that's the only reason he needed it.

In that case I hope he gets a good price for them.

My PowerPak thanks him. As do I... ^^

He wants to use the money to buy PAL/JP sets and do the same again. 8)

Is $35 a game on average a fair asking price?

Considering they're all complete and some of them are pretty rare it probably averages out to be pretty close. Then again like any console a lot of the games are junk, though on the other hand the set being complete raises the value itself, so I don't know.
