No you don't. Original SNES carts are insanely expensive now. Earthbound alone is ~$250.

Even more!

I had a collection pretty much the same as yours and I had good results on ebay. That was about 8 years ago though.

Also, lol at getting $1500 from a local game store for those. From my experience working/managing one, it's very unlikely you break $600 taking those to a retailer. Nothing personal, they're just going to try and make much more profit than that. And selling these things is not easy.


Also a question based on your experience: are local game stores generally even equipped to handle someone walking in with 50 games from retro consoles, regardless of what they offer for them? I presume theyd want to test them all.

Also, I just noticed, but the fact that you said "also has the box" for only Superstar Saga leads me to believe you don't have the original boxes/manuals for the rest? If that's the case, you need to lower your expectations for what to expect in terms of compensation.


Its the usual games with hard cases have the case and inserts, games that sold in cardboard dont

That wasnt the ENTIRE list, just most of the more expensive ones

But I definitely would not accept $600 for that lot

Im looking to offload a lot of my retro games that have been replaced by digital versions over the years. I am not a slave to physical media.

Whats the best way to do this? Just go to a local mom & pop gaming store and plop $2000 worth of games on the counter and walk out with $1500? Individually sell them on eBay (or another online method)? Message Craigslist randos looking to buy games and hope I dont get knifed when I meet them?

Too bad I cant sell all my stuff on here; I would definitely give B8ers I like a discount!

after OoT you can make an argument that WW and on are were just designed as Zelda games and the timeline came later.

The only story arc in the Zelda games that spans multiple games is the Oracles arc

Even the other ones that share a protagonist with another game are just hero gets into a new adventure.

So correct me if I'm wrong, but whenever WWE releases someone, technically they're letting them know their contract will be terminated in 90 days.


And actually technically this is wrong yeah. When they release you, you are no longer under contract, you are just bound to the post-release guidelines of not wrestling for anyone else in exchange for 90 more days of downside pay.

But youre free to do whatever else without WWE approval. The IIconics started a podcast, Aleister Black is all over the place blabbing about his relationship with Vince and creative, doing Twitch, etc. All things people still actually under contract cannot do without approval.

Also to read between the lines a bit, I notice that almost none of the Nick Khan era firings are NXT people. My guess is that Trips has an NXT budget that they allow him work with without too much interference, and he thought letting Joe go was a mistake, so he found room for him

EDIT: in fact this exact same thing happened to Drake Maverick last year

I dont think we know the details yet, but if he signed a new deal as a non-wrestler because he cant get cleared, it would probably be much cheaper for WWE. The upside for Joe is that it would classify him as an employee and make him eligible for benefits and such.

If hes back to wrestle, then they probably worked out a deal to where after his 90 days he will shift to a cheaper deal.

He definitely had a choice though. What are they gonna do if he declines, fire him? Fired people still get their downside during their non-compete unless they are fired with cause
