    wait a minute... there's 100 of them and it's $50 for the whole lot? Dude that's 50 cents a piece. Jump on it. On ebay you can probably turn it around for at least $1-$5 plus shipping. That's at least double your money back and if you list them only once a week it doesn't cut into your schedule too much. There's people who still don't have a complete copy in their collection including myself.

    I'm a collector, but only to a certain extent.
    Not as extreme as Rickstilwell though.[/quote]

    Heck, if you were going to buy the entire lot, I'd try to negotiate a deal with the owner. Chances are that they'd just like to see them gone.

    I found a bunch of sealed Intelivision games for $1 each at a surplus store a few years ago. I bought a few and tried trading them in at a few places. I barely made anything.
    The best part was taking them to some shithole retrogame place on Dundas S. West in Toronto, and asking the girl working there if they sold Intelivision games. Her response was "All these games are for the television". So very, very ignorant.

    I'm going back in a month or so... I'll see if I can buy the whole lot. Not a lot of money regardless.
