While I've never found anything extremely rare in one, I did find a copy of Shadowrun (SNES) for $6 in a pawn shop that looked like they only sold guns and horse supplies. I also picked up Final Fantasy Anthology for $2, Personal FES for $3, and Battletoads (CIB) for $10 at pawn shops. I'd suggest avoiding the ones that look newer or get a lot of traffic for obvious reasons. Then again, I hit a dingy old pawn shop recently where I had high hopes, and all they had were 2-3 common PS2 games for $20 each. --- End quote --- John Hancock, a collector out of washington states that he found his copy of Snatcher on SEGA CD at a pawnshop. It was sealed behind the counter. It had been sitting there unnoticed for years apparently. He picked it up for a couple of bucks. This is definitely not the norm though. But if you find someone slipping, it's probably going to be a flea market, pawn shop, or craigslist. It takes time, but that's where the hunt is. --- End quote --- that's just the way game chasing goes ;D --- End quote --- Oh, great! Another box of useless $#!^ ;D I had actually never used the word slipping before that show. Now I don't even realize I say it. |

Since this thread has taken that turn, have you seen that these two chuckleheads are putting one a retro expo? Retropalooza is going to be in Arlington, TX on Sept. 28th. I'm going to be there. I had to choose between that and OVGE. Since OVGE never got a solid date or update the website, I decided on Dallas. As a bonus Norm, The Gaming Historian, is going to be there too. If anyone decides to make that trip, I'm going to have a vendor booth unloading all my doubles and stuff I don't really want. |

Honestly, I wouldn't pay that much. Maybe 1000, maybe. I think the most I've spent on a single game was 240. It's a horrible but rare title. It's really just an investment towards a trade for a CIB Hagane. |

Pat the NES Punk recently did a decent video on it. I'm not always a fan of his humor. But for some reason, I am a big fan of his videos. Anyways, he talks about the recent price jump on the game and it being caused by speculators around the 11 minute mark. Worth a listen. But the whole video is worth it in my opinion. http://thepunkeffect.com/?p=10919 |
