Hi all, I have noticed that for the last 5-7 years everytime i find an atari there are atleast 20+ games included, but most NES systems have less than 20, but lately it seems that the ammount of NES games per find is going up. This can only mean good stuff for us as collectors, it seems that everyother NES find i find has 2 or more copys of SM/DH. but every atari find i find has 5+ copys of Combat and Space Invaders.
I was wondering are your NES lots growing?

Yeah, a lot of the NES/SNES/GEN/SMS lots I see have quite a few games. Every time I see a PS2/Xbox/GC lot, not that much is there.

The bundles are large, but they're generally made up of extremely common games. In a standard bundle of 15 carts, there might be one or two which I don't already own, so they're never worth it.
FWIW at one time a few years ago I owned 12 copies of the SMB/DH, 5 SMB/DH/WCTM, and 10 SMB 3. Yeah I don't know why. I eventually traded them into stores back they still had some value. They really just take up space.

I usualy get NES bundles for about $5-$10. I can then bundle my duplicates and resell them for the next week's Garagesales.
Lately I have only been buying bundles that have a game i dont have or a mario,metroid,ect that i can trade to the store for credit.

Gamestop used to sell SMB/DH for what, $0.19 ea? You certainly could have picked many of them up then.......

The pawns around here actualy sell the SMB/DH carts, they have stacks of RBI Baseball 3 though, weird because I have never seen a copy of that in the wild.
