Not really into horror games, but it's more niche and I'm willing to give it another shot.
It was a nice momento to find this for dirt cheap at the more recent king's day flea market.
bought a few other games for cheap at the same seller aswell so no losses in the end.

All together 14 loose Switch carts. I ask if he had any of the cases and he said no, then I ask what he wanted for all the carts?

[dhaabi]

With Tomb Raider Trilogy not getting a physical release, I'm not going to bother with it. I really hate the digital only trend when it comes to many of these releases.

Figured I'd just respond in this month's pick-ups topic since that's where you posted before—it's been announced that Tomb Raider I-III Remastered will be getting a limited physical release through Limited Run Games.

[kypherion]

castlevania portrait of ruin, favourite metroidvania behind symphony of the night

That guide is sick. I need to get around to collecting those Castlevania related items.

I do have to ask though, why is PoR so high up there for you???

[kypherion]

This month has been good. I've added:

Super Famicom:
 - Two TOMEE 6' controller extension cords
 - CIB Satellaview
 - Super UFO Pro 8 Flashcart and ROM/Save Dumper

N64:
 - Change the System (VHS)
 - Diddy Kong Racing (VHS)
 - Hot Newz 64 Nsider's Guide to N64 (VHS)

GameCube:
 - Biohazard 0 (JP)
 - Yu-Gi-Oh! The Falsebound Kingdom (JP)

OTW:

SNES:
 - 2 Derby Stallion Satellaview slotted cartridges
 - FXPak Pro SNES/Famicom Flashcart (MSU-1, Satellaview support)

N64:
 - SummerCart64 Flashcart. A cheaper alternative to the EverDrive 64 X7, this flashcart is the first to possess hardware emulation for the 64DD, meaning it can run .ndd files instead of converted N64 roms. Naturally, this also means one can play the Legend of Zelda: Dawn and Dusk romhack (.ndd) as intended.

That guide is sick. I need to get around to collecting those Castlevania related items.

I do have to ask though, why is PoR so high up there for you???

The overall presentation and theming really and that one has multiple seperate area's to explore instead of 1 huge castle like most entries in the series. This also made room for different kinds of enviroments like usual, Also liked the more light tone in terms of character interractions.

Also unlike the previous entry they found the right balance with this kinda less goth art style. Dawn of sorrow was a bit to anime esk. That being said dawn of sorrow was cheesy in a good way. The laugh of one of the bosses is forever ingrained in my memory from that one 

[Cartagia]

- Alien vs. Predator

Wii
I stop at a sale and ask about games and the lady points to a large box in the corner of the garage, I look inside and see a Wii with a ton of stuff.
It was only $40 for everything and I just bought it, figured I'd look through it later.

I make a stack of games I didn't have in my collection and made a deal for all for $30. The guy was a collector and told me he had a PSP game that was
going for $180 online and he was going to sell it on Ebay. He shows me the game and I lookup the going value and it was $60. I needed the game in my collection

And last the Best find of the day.
I stop at a sale and ask about games and the guy says he has a Nintendo, But it wasn't at the house the sale was at. I give him my number and tell him
to call me, Later I get a call and go back to the sale to see he has a NES lot all CIB. We talking  about a price and we agreed on $200 for everything.

Now a couple stories of stuff I didn't buy...

I ask about games and the guy says he has a Wii, He shows me a garbage bag with the most disgusting Wii I've ever seen.
It looked like someone vomited all over it and showed signs of bug infested. I didn't even ask a price, just passed.

Another sale I see a Zelda Gold Wii Remote. She wanted $40 for it and she was saying it was a great deal because it was going for $200 online.
I look it up (just incase the price jumped and it was going for $40 on ebay) The remote was pretty used too. People like this drive me crazy.
Anytime someone talks about what its worth online ALWAYS look it up yourself.

Another sale I ask about games and the guys brings out a bunch of Amiibos new on their cards. He claimed they where going for $100 a piece online.
Most all where valued under $20. I didn't need any of these and I just passed.

[theflea]

At another sale I ask about video games and the lady says she has a Wii U, She brings out a Wii U with the AC Adapter.
But it was missing the tablet controller, I ask if she had it but she couldn't find it. I ask her if she had anything else, she goes back in and brings out a stack
of PS4 and XB1 games and a empty Mario Kart 8 case. Then she says she has a Nintendo and she brings out a NES with a couple controllers and one game.
I ask what she wanted for it and she says $200. (hell no) Then I ask what she wanted for the one game and she says $10. Seeing its a $25-$30 game,
I paid her for the game. Then I was about to leave but she wanted to look for the tablet, She finally find the controller and it had a layer of dust on it.
I offer $40 for the Wii U and once I get it home I check to see if there's any disc inside the system hoping to find Mario Kart 8. There was a disc inside but not

The 360 was an early model with HIGH chance of red ring of death, all the 360 and ps2 games were sports. There was about 15 PS1 games but all were
sports except a a few. I first ask what she wanted for all of it and she says $100. So I take the Genesis stuff and a few PS1 games and ask if she'd do $60

His wife comes out while he looks and we get to talking about video games and about she was thinking of getting a Switch. Then she says I think we have an
old N64, would you be interested in that? Yes I said. Her husband comes out and shows much pretty much scrap PS4 and Xbox one games. Nothing worth
even making an offer for. She goes in and then returns with a N64 and several games. I ask what she wants for the N64 and games and she says $40 okay?
