The seller wanting $500 is way off. (Which is pretty typical of Pawn Stars)
Most of those games are $40-$50 titles.
That lot is worth about $300 HIGH END ESTIMATE. $200 from the store is a good call if they want to make a profit.
The boxed Donkey Kong is a small gem in that set but the box is in pretty poor shape and it's a common vertical screen game in that set.
There's also a non-Nintendo LCD in there that I couldn't identify.

i would take the gun personally..
that thing is bad ass!!!!
$100 a piece, eh?
As awesome as those old handheld LCD Nintendo games are, I can't see paying over $10 for one if it weren't still brand new in the box, wrapped in glistening cellophane. I understand that the collectibility of retro video games keeps the market/supply of them alive as opposed to people just "shit canning" making it next to impossible to find any retro video games, but it still strikes me as a shame sometimes that old children's toys can cost so damn much. I wonder if one day the retro video game "market" will crash like baseball cards did. If it does, at least I will still very much enjoy the toys I paid too much for, which is way more than I can say for my childhood baseball card collection. Speaking of which, anyone wanna trade video games for baseball cards???
The Donkey Kong with the box might fetch $100 if it had the styrofoam, battery compartment was clean, had the battery door and was cosmetically in good shape.
The loose games are worth all of half that.
The reason that Game & Watch LCDs tend to fetch more because they were made by Nintendo and feature IPs and charaters that they continue to use today. Also unlike a lot of the LCD game dreck from that era in the case of most of the Game & Watch brand games, they're highly amusing/playable.
