It's been awhile since somebody has posted in here so I figure I'd try and jump start some more discussion. I recently went to an estate sale (not professionally run, and it was fairly small) where I had the chance to pick up a bag of super nintendo games for $.50 each. I bargained with the seller to let me get 12 games and a game genie (for those not familiar, this is a device which alters the games so as to allow you to "cheat" at them).
Well, up they went on ebay last weekend, and the ending price was $71.88!
Now most of the value comes from only 3 or 4 of the games. I looked the prices up on a site: http://www.gamedude.com (edit: it seems since the time I posted this that they've removed their super nintendo prices page). Here were the top ones from that list in terms of resale value:
Based on the above site, these games are the top five most valuable, so be on the lookout!
