Doot doot.


There's that CD I bought the other day.

Today's finds include Street Fighter Alpha 3 (Fighters Edge variant), Spin Jam, Bust-A-Groove, and Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter in a Street Fighter Alpha 2 case with manual and back cover for $1 each.


Oh and I also got this for the cost of shipping. The seller said she bought the dance pad bundle just for the dance pad and had no use for this, so she was giving it away. I asked for it, and there we go. The disc inside is Greatest Hits though, which is weird.

And I -may- be getting a new... well, used TV tomorrow if all goes well.

Criagslist was good to me this weekend.  I found a dude downsizing his SNES collection and worked a deal with him. 

Super Castlevania IV (loose)
Jim Power (loose)
X-Men: The Mutant Apocolyps (loose)
Zombies Ate My Neighbors (boxed but missing the book)
Contra III (CIB and in amazing shape)
and... Demon's Crest (loose)

All for 50 bones.  Not too shabby

Picked up a few things yesterday:


The total came to $40 for everything so I'm pretty happy. Finding the Turbo games locally was a big score for me but I had to leave about a dozen behind due to spending limits

@blipcs76 odyssey 1 or 2 because an odyssey 1 CIB on ebay go's for 800 to 7000 dollars a pop and if they are selling it for under  500 dollars it would be a good investment

It was an Odyssey 1.  Wow, I probably just blundered the best find of my collecting career.  The sale is over, so it's probably long gone by now.  I don't think they go for that much; there's a Buy It Now CIB for $400.  I'm watching the auction to see how badly I screwed up :/

now i feel bad but i guess that why i recommend that game collectors look up whats rare and what valuable

[foxhack]

Don't feel bad.

Those systems are pretty old and break easily. They're only worth that much if they're complete in box and functioning.

i have seen a lot of broken odyssey's go for 400 to 600 dollars

I just picked up Drakengard 2 (~$10 C.I.B.) & Pokemon: Soul-Silver (*sealed*) for ~$20.

Only picked-up the Pokemon Soul-Silver one, because I usually see it going for $20+ (used, w/o manual, etc) at Gamestop -and- I found it new/sealed & in a boxed-set w/ some thing called a "Poke-walker" (or something like that) for the same price at Target...figured it looked like a decent price to buy it at...

I don't have a smartphone, so I just had to go with my gut on that one.  I've never seen one; it doesn't even come up on pricecharting.com, so I had to look to ebay to find it's value.

I was able to contact him and he still has it and told me he wants $150 for it.  Considering I'm not sure if it works or not and that's a lot of cash for something I'll never play, I"ll probably pass on it.  Not to mention with the holidays coming and we're refinancing our house, that cash would serve me better elsewhere.

Received my sealed copy of Devil Survivor: Overclocked in today's mail, *BUT*, so far, I'm still being "good" about not opening/using my new 3DS-XL until (at least) my B-Day on 10-25

This is actually the 1st (and only) game that I've gotten so far for the system; although, I have also pre-ordered the follow-up to 999.

Only thing that's still pending/'outstanding' for me now are the Mugen Souls LE's that I pre-ordered from NISA...but, I'm expecting them to arrive tomorrow or Saturday
