Collection of old video game systems & games?

I have a collection of old video game systems and video games that I want to sell but want to get the best deal possible.

Should I sell them individually or in a bulk purchase?

What would be a fair price for such a historic collection spanning twenty-plus years?

I have the following game systems and a handful of games for each (all are in good to fair condition):

Intellivision - about twenty games

Nintendo Entertainment System - about ten games

Super NES - about five games

Playstation 1 (slim) - about twenty games

Playstation 2 (slim with network card) - about twenty games

Update:

Kuzya, this collection of old video games and game systems actually reflect the many years I've been playing video games. Much longer than you've been alive, no doubt. I never could bring myself to getting rid of them before. But now I want to sell them to help pay for the cost of a PS3.

    I think you should sell every console separately. You could sell the games with the console, but could also make some bundles of 10 mixed good and bad games each.

    There are still new Playstation2 games comming out, so that one will be more popular.

    For the older systems you'll have to find fanatics.

    Try http://www.consolepassion.co.uk/ They have Intellivision games for sale from 8 to 28 pounds.

    Sell the systems with the games. Don't sell the NES and the SNES together. Post something on Craig's list or kajiji for each individual system and their games. That way you should make the most money. For placing the amount of money, just say "best offer" and you will get many e-mails, and from there you can determine who is giving you the best deal. I sold my Warhammer 40K on Craig's list and it worked out pretty good. 30 little soldiers for 70 dollars. Anyways, post them on a site.

    I am not sure how much money you can make, but considering most of those games and systems can be downloaded as ROM's its unlikely you will get a fair deal. I am sure there are collectors of those old systems, and if you can find em best bet should be to sell the systems and games as package deals. Try vintage game stores or ebay/Craig's list.
