I finally received my collector's edition of Syberia 3... it's been almost two year since i paid for it (every two months or so the game was delayed) and last Sunday i tried to hit at least a garage sale before going back to work, like always i found a batch of PS2 games at 0,50€ each but i'm very happy with my findings since i've got lucky and had a "mini" surprise a the end

Syberia 3 Collector's Edition (Finally...)
A friend of mine (a Pokemon card player and collector) was selling a few of his duplicate and he give me a little McDonald's Mario toy i didn't have.
And then at the end of the garage sales i see a man selling a few DS games (that's where i got the two DS games) and while i was checking the games his kid come and put a Nes Mini on the table, his dad is like:
D: "what ! you already selling it ?"
K: "yeah i've only played five minutes with it, the games sucks."
D: "Well if you say so, it's yours now, do what you want with it. How much do you want to sell it ?"
K: "hmm... twenty-five... no twenty."
D: "Are you sure ? It's a console, you can put it for more."
K: "Hmm... no, twenty is fine. No one will bought it anyway, like i said the games are shit. I will probably have to sell it in shop."
Since the moment he put it on the table i've had the box in my hands checking it's content but then i heard the price i immediately closed the box (i just had the time to see that the console was inside) and started preparing the money, i didn't even let them finish their discussion, i give 3€ to the dad for the DS games and 20€ to the kid for the mini Nes.
I wanted to do a second tour of that garage sales since i've had still a few hours before going back to work but since the dad started to tell him "See ! you could have easily doubled the price !" i preferred make my way home just in case they start to ask me for more money, in normal time i would have feel bad for the kid but this time ? No, "those games are shit" ? Hell i would love buying "shit" like this for twenty bucks everyday. Kid, now you only regret it for the money but maybe one day you will regret it for the games (like i regret selling my SNes as a kid to buy a N64... ARGHH
!)
So i've got it home and it was true, he only played it for five minutes (he had a save file of the beginning of the first Mario and Zelda, Punch-Out and Kirby), the console and the box are like new
, i'm not really a NES collector, the only game i have is a boxed version of the infamous Turtles game that i bought for one Euro two or three years ago, i don't even have a NES (but a friend give me the Japanese version of the Top Loader, model HVC-101, but without any cable or pad) so this sweet little thing will find a good place into my collection, so many classic games to play for the first time
