kryptonyte Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Hi all. I have the below loose N64 carts and have spoken to a new local "Retro Gaming Store" who may be interested in buying them. Can anyone give any advice on the price of the below carts either individually or as a bulk purchase? I would like to support a new local Retro store - as there are not many around anymore. However, I also want to make sure I have a bit of an idea pricing beforehand to ensure they are not going to rip me off! The N64 prices on eBay/Gumtree seem a bit inflated by pro sellers and I am not sure they are realistic. I also can't really be bothered with postage etc. Any help would be much appreciated!

Blktgr74 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Rarely find wild carts for less than $10 even for rubbish tiles. So work on that and then there is still plenty of profit for retail sales Sent from my SM-N9007 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danny_galaga Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 (edited) What BLKTGR74 said, but allow say 20 bucks each for the following if in good condition. And the ones that are highlighted are a bit rarer. HSV adventure racing is the Aussie version of Beetle Adventure Racing and thus possibly the rarest out of these. Blastcorps Donkey Kong 64 Goldeneye 007 HSV Adventure Racing Lylat Wars (Star Fox 64) Mario Kart 64 Super Mario 64 That will still give you a good bulk price and allow that shop to apply a useful markup. Edit: A few of the games I listed were more common than I thought! Edited April 27, 2016 by danny_galaga some carts are cheaper than I thought!

kryptonyte Posted April 28, 2016 Author Share Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) So after speaking to the Retro store again, it now seems they are no longer interested in purchasing these N64 games. :unsure So I guess I get to keep them for a while longer!

How lame! You were offering an 'instant collection' to them at a great price. I guess they would rather spend countless hours and petrol money trawling through garage sales to get them cheaper :unsure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they can pick them up for $3 ea most retro stores would rather sell bobble heads. Gametraders are a classic example of this. Hold on to them mate no point giving them away.

Their loss I guess! - - - Updated - - - how much were you asking? I was just asking $400 for all 39 games ie ~ $10.25 per game. Yes I could probably sell them individually on eBay and make more money as some of those games sell for $50 a pop, but not interested in the effort and not out to make a profit on these. - - - Updated - - - Unless they can pick them up for $3 ea most retro stores would rather sell bobble heads.

Sent from my SM-N9007 using Tapatalk Oh definitely won't be giving them away any cheaper than the $400 for the lot I was asking. I'm not desperate, so I can wait if need be. This was a brand new store "retro" store run by a couple of locals and not affiliated with any of the bigger players like Gametraders etc. I do wish them well as we need more stores like this, but I guess they weren't interested in a bargain!

jason1 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 thats a pretty good deal for that shop, very silly indeed to turn that down, I might be interested, but you said you wont post? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason I am happy to post to a fellow AA member for $400 plus postage. To be honest I would prefer that these games go to a member, rather than to a retail store. I can get you a postage quote if you like. What is your postcode in QLD ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is your postcode in QLD ? are these all Aus carts and loose carts? Id be keen if they are all working and aus Pal carts dont mind they dont have boxes as long as they are all working Edited April 29, 2016 by jason1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tested them all the other day on my N64 in preparation to sell to the local retro store. Checkout the games list and pics of all the carts (front and back) in my first post in this thread.

coptic Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 That shop is beyond stupid $10 a game is what they ask for if found at a garage sale where the people don't know what eBay is and don't know the prices Sent from my HTC_0PFJ50 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They missed out on a good bargain. Oh well, it will take them a lot of effort to amass the 39 games in this list for less than $10 each! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coptic Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 If I didn't have them already I would of bought them with a big ass grin on my face Sent from my HTC_0PFJ50 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
