Was presented with an opportunity to purchase a bunch of Nintendo, NES and Atarii games for 1.00 a piece. I know that some of these older games contain better boards in them. Is it possible to purchase these at that price and still turn a profit on the boards. Thanks in advance
I think he said a buck apiece.
Happens to all of us. I remember a post about the boards in those game cartridges but can't find it now. Where is Idahoscrapper when you need him!

If im not mistakin those will sell for $4 a pound or so. Each board cant weaigh but a couple ounces once out of the heavy plastic case. So I would think to make a scrap profit you couldnt pay more than $.25 each for them. Now if they still work you oculd have a good ebay day. Hope that helps. Ill go break apart a nes case right now and weigh it for you.

ok here is the game i killed.
Here is the inside on the scale
now .79 ounces at $4 a pound is only $.20 each
now if they sell for memory price of $15 a pound you could get about $.75 each.
Need a bigger buyer than me to tell us what grade these would be. I know there is a thread somewhere with these in it.
I was thinking there had been several threads on this topic. This is the only one I could locate.

Yeah none of the buyers graded that thread either. Maybe we get lucky and one of them will tell us here. LIke other post I would guess fingerboard but I would hope for ram price.

The money on those would be made on eBay. A $1 a piece for anything that light is going to be too much for scrap.

Noooo!!! Save the Games!!! Nintendo Genocide! lol just kidding I just love playing nintendo games - i guess there has to be a limit on how many copies of Mario Bros/Duck Hunt you should own though right? I actually still have the original box that my NES system came in. I am a super dork!
haha. Dorks (and super dorks) are loved and accepted here.
