Got a line on 3 pins as a package deal want to know if this is a good price
or not. IJ, JM, and Corvette for $6200. All look great. IJ has a bit of fade
but that is normal and all are error free. Good price or no?

I was offered an off route and unshopped MM, MB, SS, TOM, AFM, and
another good title for $18k. He was "offered" $17k and he turned it
down.

Don't have my MP Guide handy, but sound a bit high. That's a good
chuck of change to be spending. $5G sounds more in the ballpark.

That's a tough call- for unshopped games I would have to say this is
high or right at market. Plan on investing another ~$100-200 each for
shopping parts.

If they are fully shopped the way you are happy with then the price
depends on what YOU think. I think the person is asking market price
for all the games and trying to get them out the door in one shot. You
would expect to save a little $$$ when buying in bulk.

I don't think you would lose money at today's prices, but it's no steal
either. The cab fade somewhat reduces the IJ value, JM is hard to get
more than $1.5k for.

Good luck

Too much, unless you plan to own these games for a long time and your
having to pay a slight premium for them is more than offset by the
convenience of acquiring them locally all at once.

That changes the deal A LOT. This is closer to a decent deal. Try for
$5k.

It is not a good price. It is a fair market price. (Considering the
games are in good condition). It may even be on the expensive side.
IJ with fade ~2300-2600 the most. JM is a lower priced Pin, no more
than 1500, and Corvette no more than ~2800. The prices I have listed
are my guess in terms of "fair market" price in very good condition. I
would ssay if u get all 3 for $5200, then its a good deal.

At today's exchange rate, $6,200 CAD is $5,117.62 USD, or $1,700 for
each game. That is a good deal for those three games in the conditions
you've described. If you want at least two of the three games for
yourself, go for it.

Actually they are all shopped from a personal collection nothing broken
either as far as i could see. There were some spare slings and manuals
included as well.

I agree with what has been said here already. I think somewhere in the 5K
range would be a better deal especially right now.

Ah hah that definitely sounds more appropriate.

I would say good deal. I agree that you should shoot for the 5K price
though (in USD)
