Selling old game systems, help!

After looking at ebay prices and what not, I am trying to find a medium ground on pricing for my old NES system and Sega System with games and what not. Would be great to get some ideas on how much I can get for both packages. I priced them high but looking for best offer, hoping to get someone to actually barter, but I am having no such luck.

Now I put $150 for everything in the NES and $100 for the genesis stuff. I was using some guides I found that people put together comparing rarity to pricing. Am I asking too much or am I just having some bad luck?

You are asking for too much for that stuff. Unfortunately, most of it is really common. Also, if someone wanted one of your "rarer" games like Bubble Bobble, they aren't going to bid because they don't want to buy the rest of it.

My brutally honest assessment of the value of your stuff:

NES & everything with it- $30
Genesis & everything with it- $15

You would probably have to start the bidding lower than that if you actually wanted bids. Also, shipping can be an issue if you need to charge $30 to ship $30 worth of stuff, it's not a good deal for anyone. If I was you, I would maybe try to sell some of the more interesting items seperately, and donate the rest.

Well I am looking to sell this over craigslist. Ebay I suppose if I am desperate. I guess I can just post asking for offers. I figure each game could at least go for a buck or two, rarer games for whatever prices and boxed with manuals a buck ontop of that.

I've been in this situation, and AtomBomb is pretty well correct with his pricing. As much as I'd like to think they are worth quite a bit, they really aren't. There are so many of them still out there that it's hard to get rid of them for much of anything. Good luck though.
