I haven't ever been lucky enough to get one of those "entire NES collection for cheap" sales, or in your case, free. It's amazing how ignorant people are who don't know the value of things...I've heard multiple times of people selling their entire NES collections of 100+ games for as little as $25, or free. For example about 15 years ago, mid to late 90s... one of my cousin's parents got rid of his NES collection of 372 games plus pretty much any NES accessory imaginable...guess how much they sold it for? $30 to a neighbor. Why didn't they ask me first?? One of the biggest missed oppurtunities ever!! It makes me sad just thinking about it. What I'd give to be in the right place at the right time to get that huge bulk of gaming history for such a cheap price to nothing, instead of resorting to emulators to get my fix of NES games these days...

Those go for serious money on Ebay, probably even more so now than when I was collecting SNES games in 2000 and kept up with the prices. Edited by topofuji, Jan 29 2009, 10:17 AM.
