Hey, a guy on ebay is offering me Castlevania I & 2 + Megaman 2
All boxed, with manual and good condition for 88$ included shipping to Norway. It looks like a okish deal, or am I paying too much?

I've shipped to Norway before, and shipping wasn't all that bad man.  I think  someone may be trying to gouge you.  That's just an insanely bad deal...and if they're coming from the US, they probably won't even be compatable with your NES console without a mod/converter.  Although to be fair, the games are all universally liked (I'm not a big fan of any of them except Simon's Quest, but that's from a guy who likes Superman Tongue), so if you get the play value from them, it's really hard to overpay.

Yep, thats not really a good deal if the games are USA region. For that price i would expect the games to be like new. If they were bought in Norway (with swedish/danish/finnish manual) and was mint and complete then the price would be fair, but i assume they are from USA since you mention dollars and "shipping to Norway" Smiley

Shipping shouldnt be more than $15 - $20 tops.

So they're PAL and not NTSC then...that may change it a bit, but I'm not sure...don't know much about PAL releases myself.  They're all CIB though, and like I say, they're all generally considered to be good games, so it's your call.  Personally, I'd try and get him down to $20 each ($60), as any more than that will be pretty hard to justify, and even that much is a stretch, but it's your call.
