I must admit however if there is a certain game I really want I will buy it online or at one of the retro stores around here. The most I've ever paid for a game was Metal Slug 5 on the AES... cost me $700 --- End quote --- WHAt is AES??? --- End quote --- its the neo geo and its one of most expensive consoles collect for |

The last salvation army I went to was in pcb(my bro lives there) and I saw Some gen games, nothing worth over a dollar but they were ones I didn't have.. they wanted 3 dollars a piece for them and I said will you go down in price if I bought them all and they said nope. Soo I kinda got pissed and walked out. it's like no one else is gonna come in here and buy those. If a collector does he won't pay that price and theres no kids with this system so why the hell wouldn't you barter with me a little. That also reminds me of this guy at a pawn shop. This pawn shop had been calling my dad asking him advice on antique watches soo we take a trip over there. I walked in, he had some great old games. I saw will you go any cheaper if I bought all of them.. He says no. My dad looks at him and says how are you gonna say no when he hasn't even gave you a price. the guys studders and says w-w-well I can get that price. The guy was terribly rude and arrogant so we walked out. I mean if your a pawn shop your business is barter. If your a thrift store, You have 0$ in your stuff. |

My most expensive purchase ever was Matrimelee for AES, cost me about $450 when I bought it (about ten years ago). It was fun, but it's not a great game :) |

It sounds like you got a good deal. Maybe I'm crazy lol because I would have bought it on ebay for 110-130 but you said you were impatient. Are you saying you think maybe some one would have put it on ebay cheaper over time?? I dont know the tricks like everyone else knows lol, because for me, ebay is really the only place I can get retro games. --- End quote --- It was an ok deal. Back when I had a little more disposable income I spent a few hours per day on ebay hunting for deals. If you're good you can usually find games for about 50-60% of real value. I got impatient with FFIII and decided to buy it at $110, a copy like mine is worth about $140-$150, I think I could have gotten one for $70-80 if I had been patient. |

A birthday gift to myself last year. Goldeneye Reloaded Double O Edition. $99.99 Loved the Playstation Move controller at demo stations for SOCOM 4 and loved the original Goldeneye. So I saw it as a win win Bday treat. It was too. |
