Problem picking up games in lots
(1/2) > >>
blipcs76:
I'm growing increasingly frustrated trying to buy NES games in lots.  Right now, I own right around 50% of the NES catalog.  I'd like to buy games in bulk to fill out my collection, but it seems every lot of NES games I find is almost entirely comprised of games I already own.  At best, I'll find 2-3 games out of a lot of 15 that I don't already have.

Is the first half of the NES catalog that common, while the other half is that rare?  If so, I'll never come close to getting a full collection if I have to buy the other 350 games one at a time.

Its true though. Once you get to the point you are at, lots arent really worth the time. Your best bet for a little while is to find someone on a forum or something who is selling off a lot of their collection and buy a big self-picked lot off of them to save on some of the cost and some of the shipping.

I'm at this point with Genesis games. Even though I don't have half the library, the ones I do have are apparently the most common ones out there.

Lots can still be a good way to pick up some hard to find games.  Sometimes they slip through the cracks.  But, be prepaired.  You'll end up with a TON of doubles. 
I still pick up a lot if there are a few games in it I need.  I've bought several boxes of 10-15 games when I only wanted 2 of them.

Those folks might've been in the same place as you... buying a lot to pick up a few that they could use and then reselling the lot of dupes...
