Title: Wholesale import lots on eBay
Post by: jeffhlewis on May 02, 2013, 02:40:33 AM: Guys:

Has anyone ever purchased one of those wholesale lots on eBay from the Japanese sellers? The ones where there's like 100 Saturn/Famicom/PCE/whatever games in a box?

I realize you're probably not going to be finding Sapphire in there or anything and that it's mostly commons, just curious if it was worth the price of admission.

I've never been one to resell my games, so for me to buy a lot it would have to be mostly stuff I was interested in.

You may get lucky with a Bomberman 94 or something, but never any good games. As much as I love the PC Engine/TG-16, there are a lot of shit games out there for these systems.
