How much could I sell my SNES collection for?

This isn't an advertisement or anything, I'm needing some cash right now and I'm just kinda wondering if anyone here can help me get a good ballpark on how much I can reasonably ask for my SNES collection.

My collection:
Chrono Trigger
Donkey Kong Country
Donkey Kong Country 2
Final Fantasy III
Kirby Super Star
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Star Fox
Super Castlevania IV
Super Ghouls N' Ghosts
Super Mario All Stars + Super Mario World
Super Mario Kart
Super Mario RPG
Super Metroid
Yoshi's Island

videogamepricecharts.com gave me a total estimated worth of around $300. I was considering using craigslist and asking for around $250 with a note that I'd be willing to take offers. Would that be reasonable to ask, or should I price it lower? Anybody have any advice here, I've never sold anything of mine in this manner.

I've actually sold quite a few of these on ebay lately, so I can post the general prices I got for them if it helps:

Chrono Trigger - ???
Donkey Kong Country - $5
Donkey Kong Country 2 - $10
Final Fantasy III - $35
Kirby Super Star - ???
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past $13(probably more like $10, I had two of these at $13 each, one sold, the other didn't until I knocked it down to $10)
Star Fox - $5
Super Castlevania IV - ???
Super Ghouls N' Ghosts - ??? (had a copy, but sold it with an SNES so I can't really gauge a good price)
Super Mario All Stars + Super Mario World - ???(I believe it goes for around $30)
Super Mario Kart - $15
Super Mario RPG - $30
Super Metroid - $20
Yoshi's Island - $20

Granted, I prefer getting the games out the door quickly over making more money, so I tend to price a bit lower than others, but since you're selling as a lot it would probably be better to skew lower anyways.

All in all, I would say $250 is a pretty fair price, it would be great if you could get $300 though. The major kink here is craigslist though, I'm not sure if you'll be able to get more than $200 on there. I know you say you need fast cash, but I think you should try throwing it up on ebay just to see.

especially on craigslist which is full of scammers, lowballers and timewasters!

*Your better off selling individually or sell as a lot on Ebay and the price you are asking sounds resonable. I wouldn't take any less than $200 for it though.

Good Luck
 
If I were actually in the market for loose carts, $100-150 would be my market for it.

Complete, or even with just the manuals would double that, at least.
 
Ah, I had a feeling I was a bit overly optimistic in that price. Ebay isn't currently an option for me, but thanks very much for the info.
