Is this a bit high for non working games?

I'll say...and possibly for working games.

... and 32 bids?! These people think they can easily resurrect them or what? Something rare in there I'm missing?

The N64 and SNES games are a gamble to fix but if they are fixable there is money to be made.

Time for me to list a non-working game lot. Good luck fixing the corrupted chips.

Sometimes just the contacts need a good cleaning, but surprised it got that much.

Homebrewers must be running out of shells to use.

This auction had nothing to do with buying for homebrew use.

I was joking.

Eh, I'll chalk it up to the weird reality-distortion-field that surrounds Nintendo games. And I say this as a Nintendo collector.

Well, if you're a scam-artist dealer that does the convention circuit, these games are a steal. Many of them are $20-$30 games, if working. So, you put them on your table at a convention, easily make hundreds off them, and the buyers will never be able to find you again when they get home and the game doesn't work. Or, if you believe in the good in people, then maybe it's just an optimistic buyer that figures he'll get his money's worth as long as he can get like 6 or so of them working.
