I sell them for $29.95 all day long. They are really not worth much.
By the way, if you get the wrong buyer who does not know how to clean the system and games; expect returns. I tend to avoid NES systems altogether and just focus on the games. I part out the systems to other dealers and still make the same amount of money usually.

PS: I am a video game dealer on eBay and beyond!
I actually learned a little trick just a couple of weeks ago. If you pop a game in and get the infamous blue screen, wiggle the game towards you so that the top of the cartridge is butted against the inside front of the console. Hit the reset button and voila the game works just fine. (thumbs u
I don't know if you know who I am but I am a major video game dealer and have been collecting for decades. I appreciate the advice, but my point was simply to get the original poster to understand that selling these on ebay does come with a lot of risks. I sell mine as is; and normally like to sell to other dealers (who will put a new 72-pin connector in them and then resell them) or enthusiasts who know what they are doing. Nothing against you, but I do about $4,000 in sales in video game sales alone (in a good month; not every month).
I also specialize in the ultra rare stuff. I sold two copies of NES World Championship Gold cartrdiges in the last three to five years and two copies of Stadium Events as well.
Right now I just sold off a massive amount of RARE Sega Saturn games and Atari 2600 games I won at auction.
If you are looking for games, let me know.

I'm not sure why you took that comment of mine personally. You said something about returns on NES game systems and I was just offering up a helpful suggestion (to everyone reading this thread) if NES games didn't work right away. And you're correct - I don't know who you are (other than reading many of your posts).
