I was wondering what you think of this bundle?

I am waiting for a reply as to better pics or actual list of games, but what are your thoughts? If there are some hidden gems of games mixed in I suppose it could be a good deal if a person wants all of these older systems. I was thinking with the right games maybe $150. I just don't know the value of these that well other than you can get most of these for fairly cheap.

They're using the old "I know what it goes for on EBay" line so you know they want the most money for the least amount of work and will be a stinge. That also means that they're gonna have a crap collection. For whatever reason, people with the worst collections want the most.

:-X Trying to get someone to cut the price they're asking for stuff in HALF right out of the gate is not only disrespectful, but also rude and makes you look like a real douchebag.
So, check the condition of the games and systems(in person if necessary)and offer a FAIR price. Just think of the deal from THEIR perspective, which is the best way to realize how off the wall cutting the asking price in HALF sounds. If it were YOU selling all of the systems and games shown, wouldn't you want to get the MOST for your stuff?
I personally wish I could come across such gaming lots here, but those who have such items price them higher than the original MSRP, which isn't being fair in the least. But, the seller you have there has even told you that the PS1 doesn't read games, which they could've omitted. So, they've been more than fair thus far.
Of course, I'm sure you'd still test it all before biting on the deal, but then again so would I.
So again, just think of it from the perspective of what if it was YOU selling those systems/games/peripherals, wouldn't YOU want the most money you could get for them?
Oh and if you're just buying this lot to resell on Ebay and wanna get it for the least amount to maximize profit. Well.....:-# :-# I'm not EVEN going there.
Oh and davo, I've come close to using the 'Ebay line' because of people wanting my shit for next to nothing. If my ad says FIRM, it means I'm not going to sit there and listen to someone say 'well, I'll give you xyz amount for it'. I've asked a few people if they were illiterate before when they tried lowballing me. Most of them simply hung up and never called back.
The best though, are the assholes who say 'I can get it cheaper online'. I reply to them by saying 'Well, if you can get it online for cheaper, then why the fuck are you bothering me?'. They also hang up pretty quick. They wanna be rude, I can be rude right back.
