Was presented with an opportunity to purchase a bunch of Nintendo, NES and Atarii games for 1.00 a piece. I know that some of these older games contain better boards in them. Is it possible to purchase these at that price and still turn a profit on the boards. Thanks in advance
I think he said a buck apiece.
Happens to all of us. I remember a post about the boards in those game cartridges but can't find it now. Where is Idahoscrapper when you need him!
lol!
If im not mistakin those will sell for $4 a pound or so. Each board cant weaigh but a couple ounces once out of the heavy plastic case. So I would think to make a scrap profit you couldnt pay more than $.25 each for them. Now if they still work you oculd have a good ebay day. Hope that helps. Ill go break apart a nes case right now and weigh it for you.
ok here is the game i killed.

Here is the inside on the scale

now .79 ounces at $4 a pound is only $.20 each
now if they sell for memory price of $15 a pound you could get about $.75 each.
Need a bigger buyer than me to tell us what grade these would be. I know there is a thread somewhere with these in it.
I was thinking there had been several threads on this topic. This is the only one I could locate.

Yeah none of the buyers graded that thread either. Maybe we get lucky and one of them will tell us here. LIke other post I would guess fingerboard but I would hope for ram price.
The money on those would be made on eBay. A $1 a piece for anything that light is going to be too much for scrap.
Thanks everyone for the quick responses. Appreciate the advice
Noooo!!! Save the Games!!! Nintendo Genocide! lol just kidding I just love playing nintendo games - i guess there has to be a limit on how many copies of Mario Bros/Duck Hunt you should own though right? I actually still have the original box that my NES system came in. I am a super dork!
haha. Dorks (and super dorks) are loved and accepted here.
