Japanese Nintendo 64 games

I'm culling my collection and have a few Nintendo 64 Japanese games I'm going to sell to a local guy, but I don't have any idea what I should ask for them. These are all cart only, with nice labels. Can I get some ball-parks on these from everyone?

NUS-NG5J-JPN Konami, Goemon ("Going Now"), RPG
NUS-NYSJ-JPN Yoshi's Story
NUS-NPFJ-JPN Pokemon Snap
NUS-NDRJ-JPN Epoch Co, RPG
NUS-NUTJ-JPN Victor Interactive, RPG
NUS-NWTJ-JPN Zed two, Infogrames UK, Wetrix Classic
NUS-NH5J-JPN Konami, Nagano Winter Olympics 98

You know with those product codes you can pop them into google and it will give you a name you can then ebay under SOLD items for a price.  Like that Epoch Game that's a Doraemon title while that top one is the Japanese version of Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon.

 

Problem you have is that most of them need a good grasp of Japanese to be really enjoyable, some you can get around it a bit using a faq to bypass the menus, but still, it'll hurt the value on top of them just being common titles.

Thanks.

Yeah, I know, I did that, but not much info there, nor many sales. Most show minimal value, but I'm more interested in a ball park price range from collectors here who might give me their honest feelings in a situation where they happened to run across these in the wild.

Maybe something like "uh, I'd pay maybe $25 for the lot" or that kind of thing.

I feel Yoshi's Story would be the only one an English only player could play without issues but then you'd might as well buy the NA one.

Well in that case the post above is like 1/2 right.  There's not one game, but two that the language barrier would have no real impact on, Yoshi, but also that puzzle game Wetrix.  All the others would be a moderate to heavy load of Japanese that would impede progress if not make it a downright chore continually referencing a FAQ as to not get lost and confused.

 

Due to that your money is entirely in Yoshi and Wetrix.  Yoshi is like a $5 game alone basically, and Wetrix would be basically the same.  Goemon, Doraemon, the others, even Pokemon snap are essentially borderline worthless alone getting a dollar or two plus shipping weight, loss sellers paying to get rid of it with PP if not PP+ebay fees.  Honestly if you sold this privately I wouldn't ask more than $10 as $15 is pushing it, plus shipping and on ebay due to N64 cart weight you'd basically be selling the games to break even as a lot, a loss alone, maybe to make a couple bucks each just on Wetrix and Yoshi eventually if someone bites.

 

That help?
