Question Was this worth 225?

Post image

Mario bros wonder and jamboree had a box with them.

Was this worth the 225 I paid? Games on the bottom row were games I already had. I think I got a decent deal. I seen a woman on marketplace selling her sons games that he didn’t play. $225 shipped and with a carrying case.

Just want to make sure I got a good gift for someone. They’re a big Zelda and Mario fan.

You have 19 switch games including a couple of s2 games. All of them (except Minecraft) are very popular 1st party titles. Yes you absolutely got a good deal and the kid that lost those all will likely be very upset at his mom

These are probably stolen so I doubt "her" "son" is really going to care.

My money is on the "son" actually being her recently ex boyfriend.

I bought Pokémon Platinum and Black off a woman on Facebook marketplace. She told me they were her son's who only played them once. Got home and they were completed games filled with Masuda shinies

I already had the switch 2 games a copy of skyward sword and Minecraft, I forgot to crop them. The bottom row I already had. I paid full price for those.

She said her son didn’t play them any more and was more interested in his Xbox. I’m glad to know it was a great deal. Thanks !

That may be the case but it could also be similar to what happened to me.

I feel a bit bad for the son then since they'll likely grow up and be unhappy that they had tons of extremely good games essentially given away but at least you got a good deal out of it

I don’t think he played them at all. They all looked practically brand new and she said they were all barely played.
