Almost $300 SCORE! Only $35?! AWESOME Facebook Marketplace Game Lot!
89Have you ever seen something pop up on Facebook Marketplace and just know in your gut that you found an awesome deal? We did, and we had to pick it up. Here's the story of our almost $300 score that we only spent $35 on. Is this the most awesome Facebook Marketplace Game Lot find we've ever had?
I was cruising Marketplace, updating a few listings I had, when I saw them. 2 lots of Wii games, one for $25 and one for $20 from the same seller. The thing was that in one of the lots, there was Punch-Out for the Wii, while the other had the 20th anniversary Kirby Collection for the Wii. I knew these were darn pricy titles, but the fact that they were just listed like this made me think I had a chance to bundle and save.
I messaged the seller and offered $35 for both lots, $10 off the original price. And to my surprise, he accepted my offer! He did so incredibly quickly so I was concerned the games were scratched, the manuals were missing, any sort of thing you could imagine. My thought was that, with Kirby being a $70 CIB game, and Punch-Out being $42, if just one of these were CIB and in decent shape, I'd have some good value here.
Upon getting the bag of games, I went through the cases to make sure everything was there. I was mostly looking for just the discs and their condition, but everything was there. Discs, cases, manuals, Club Nintendo info, EVERYTHING! I was floored at the condition and quality I had found. Then I started looking up prices and values of what I had scored.
I knew there was some garbage here, but even the garbage had some value. $136 in value to be honest! My plan is to take these and sell them all for 2 for $5 at the upcoming Illinois Game Con in June. That's roughly $100 total, so selling for a little under actual value but I just want to be done with these. However, the keep pile, whoa boy, $156 in games there!
In the end, from this lot I'm going to keep Punch-Out, Kirby, Rubik's World, Wreck-It Ralph, and the Lego Star Wars Complete Collection. I get to keep these, basically, for free, while making at least $100 profit from the rest of the lot. This was a fantastic find, basically getting more than 8-times the value for what I spent. This was an awesome find!
