Hi all.  I'm new here and this being my first post of many.  I had to clean out my basement about a week ago due to some work being done and I found my old NES & SNES with a suitcase full of games.  The first thing I did was cleaned all the carts and ordered a new 72 pin connector.  Well all the carts are cleaned and the new connector is in place so I hit the flea markets to find some games that I wanted to add to my collection.  I found some decent ones:

Dr. mario
Knight Rider
Goonies 2
Legendary Wings (love this one)
The Terminator (SNES)

So I added these and did some searches for yard sales in my area.  I came across a pic with some amazing games (in box with manual) and a toaster NES.  With the pic provided I called the seller and he offered me this collection for $100.  I thought this was a decent deal because I would like a NES in another room and the games were with box.  Then I see the deals you guys are getting and this doesn't seem that good to me.  Can I get some advice before I fork over $100 for this collection?

Thanks! 

Don't mind the date.  I think the seller must have just put new batteries in his cam and this is the stock date.

Yeah that's a pretty sweet deal.  I'd go for it.  They all look to be in great shape.

OK, thanks so much for the help.  Glad I joined the forum since I'm pretty much only a week into looking for some games.

That's a great lot for $100. Definitely go for it! Everything looks to be in good condition, and, like techwizard said, those Zeldas are quite pricey.

Well, I just got back from picking up the package. Came with everything pictured except the Mario Bros 2 (he gave it to someone). The boxes were kept in great shape as we'll as the games and NES.  I'll post pics in the smal finds later.

At a local flea market I also picked up Renegade, Bill & Ted, & Monster Party for the NES for $5 bucks each. And for $8 I got Sim City & Spawn for SNES complete in boxes. Good day overall!
