Pokemon Breeder Mini
Pokemon Puzzle Collection 2

and Togepi's Great Adventure - For this game = 1600usd

Hard to tell. The market for those is not super liquid. As an avid collector (have 3 sets of all 10 games CIB) I can tell you my gut feeling - prices seem to me a little high but not unreasonable. My opinion 30-40% lower would be pretty reasonable.

Are you selling any of your games currently?

Note to self: buy sealed duplicates the next time a big name releases a doomed console. :(

Also you didn't mention the region for the ones that were released in other regions. Are they all JP?

In my experience it really depends. I was lucky enough to get a complete 10 game set with 5 pokemon mini systems and some accesories about a year ago on a japanese auction site for about £250. But deals like that are hard to come by. I suggest paying attention to lots of different sites and hoping you get lucky.

In my opinion it is really hard to say for the Pokemon Mini system. I collect also for other systems like Nintendo Virtual Boy or Vectrex and there it is almost impossible to find great deals nowadays.
Currently when it comes to the Pokemon Mini system you still can find great deals, I for example did pay around 200 EUR including shipping and customs for a Japanese system + all games, you can see that around 24:02 in this video here I posted also in another thread:

So if you want to buy stuff, you just have to wait and watch other sites than just eBay and it seems there are not that many hardcore collectors out there compared to other systems. It will be interesting to see if there will be a change in the future, maybe more people that had such a system will want one or maybe Pokemon fans from the US that never had that system will want one.
