I like collecting, so I'd be willing to pay a lot for a rare game, if it was still a comparatively good deal. Think the most I ever paid was 100 for an individual game, but even that was part of a buy one get one half off sale with another expensive game, so together I paid less than that. I also paid 90 once to re-gain ownership of a game that had been stolen from me, though that was also a special case, obviously.

edit: Wait, thats gen 3. No wonder I was "so much" higher than everyone else. Hmm... if it was a comparatively rare or interesting one, maybe 20 or 25 to add it to my collection. Perhaps a bit more than that if it was Oddessey2, which is great fun to collect due to the amazing art direction that system's materials had. Obviously if it was super rare and I found a "steal" at fifty I'd buy it, but might then sell it on, etc.

wartoy:
It would depend on the game but 5 or under for most, about 50 to 80 for a few rare titles.

I literally have no interest in anything before the NES;

This is how I feel. Anything before the NES hasn't aged well graphically in my opinion and I think console gameplay took leaps forward starting with the NES.

Me? $10 if I knew it was actually good and, $5 would be the highest for if I never heard of the game before.

oh god no... sure there are some very rare games out there but I have tons of Atari 2600, colleco, intelivision games and I have NEVER paid above $1 for each. hell there was a point where my local game store had TOO many of them and blew them out for $.10 a piece that's where pretty much all my commons came from and every label variants.

the highest priced Atari 2600 game I had ever seen was priced at $40 at a pawn shop and I waited for it for over a year before I was approached by an employee who offered it to me for $5 and I talked him down to $1.50 (in that year I was literally the ONLY person to express ANY interest in it). cant even remember what game it was either.

but if your willing to spend 5-10 bucks I have a bunch of uncommon semi-rare games I will very happily sell to you. I love collecting them but I do not put much value to them at all, and it would allow me to try and find them again.

Flashback2012:
I don't actively look for anything pre-NES because most all of it is loose carts. I've had opportunities to buy CIB stuff of games I've wanted but more often than not the sellers are asking WAY too much for it and it's so low priority that I don't bother to haggle/negotiate a better price. There's plenty of 2600 & Colecovision games I'd love to own CIB but they're nowhere to be found (or as mentioned earlier, stupidly expensive when they are). Around these parts I tend to see huge collections of boxed Intellivision games but I never could stand that system so I never cared to pick any of that up.

The highest I've paid for a pre-NES title is a copy of Snoopy & the Red Baron for the 2600. I bought it from a friend's video game shop for $20. I wanted to help my friend's business out, it was CIB, and I'm a huge Snoopy/Peanuts fan. I never got around to playing it as my system is buried in a box somewhere in the basement but at the same time I bought it more for the novelty than anything else.
