I doubt it'd fetch enough to be worth a sale.
How much does he plan on getting for it?

I doubt it will be worth "alot" for atleast another 15 years or so... even then it seems to be one of the systems that sticks around because of its popularity... keep it to keep it...

he wont get much for it anyways... depending on what hes asking average is 20-25 bucks for the console with controllers, and about 2 bucks a game.

i see N64's with like a dozen games sell for 50 bucks at best.

This is a common misconception.

People seem to believe that once they stop making games for consoles, said console will be worth a lot of money.

Ever wondered why you can pick up a NES in any second hand or retro store for about £20?

Ever wondered why you can pick up a mint condition Gold Zelda NES game for much more than that?

Games appreciate in value, not consoles.
