In my opinion very good condition Cheap CIB GBA deals are by far one of the most easy to get as far actual retro consoles go, I would have posted many more even allot of the mainstream sought after cib gba games multiple times If I haven't had that much of the good games already. In my experience of collecting over the years cib good condition gba games for cheap prices are not a rare thing.

I'm pretty sure that in your case were talking about actual resellers who know what they have or retro gamers since people who had these games in the past did not have reproductions wich even the good ones are pretty easy to spot especially with the box and manual since that's never done right. pirates of low quality is however something that can also be found from non resellers, than again that's even more easy to spot.

Nothing major for me so far this month.

I got the Shadow of the Colossus Remaster as well as ordered a copy of Mega Man Legacy Collection 3DS so I can play Mega Man on my lunch break.  Those were both normally priced.

But I did get a LEGO Dimensions Fun Pack with Gollum and Shelob for $2.

I heard the opposite. I heard it does quite well because it's made from the ground up for Game Boy with completely different gameplay and does really well with it.

I'll let you guys know once I get it, because I will definitely be playing it.

Some pretty decent adds for these past weeks pretty pleased

Mediocre deals

Raiden 1 pc big box excellent cib shape 25 euro's shipping included a nostalgic buy had to have it

Izuna 2 20 euro's shipping included, Pretty hard to find in europe allot more expensive than in the US pretty steep price for a ds game But I have not seen one yet over here pretty pleased

terranigma box and manual in excellent shape worst case a 40 euro's loss probably 20 a decent deal. 17 euro loss in the end including the cart

Dragonball z ultime menace 57 euro's shipped. A decent price not really a game that one could find for a bargain since it wasn't released in my country, chances are higher of getting a hagane or wild guns than this game really aside from collectors. Still a pretty nice price a bit low wich is always nice also in pretty nice shape especially the box. There was some tape on it but it was removed succesfully.

also comes with the extra spanish manual so if I really wanted to I could probably sell that extra manual for like 20 - 30 euro wich makes this deal even sweeter, that being said deals have been pretty great so i guess I'll keep it complete even though it was originally given in certain countries so not really needed for a complete copy

Some random free deals all cib in nice shape

strategy guide

alundra

Wii

yu gi oh master of the cards

ps2

road trip adventure

Hook game gear already made my money back from the set and i did want to keep it but it's a pretty uncommon one here in europe so I though I had to sell it nice one for keeps
balljacks
The story of thor with extra dutch manual aside from the standard full colour english one and the 10 exclusive story of thor art cards, very nice suprice in excellent shape very unexpected   ;D

Ps1 cib 5 euro's loss

Phoenix wright unfortuntely with vip points

Kind of splurged Saturday in anticipation for my Tax Refund check to show up.

Went to the flea market and traded away a WiiU Mario Kart Bundle box I had acquired. I almost picked up Mortal Kombat 2 on Saturn for it but when we were "upgrading" the case I noticed water damage on the back insert and instead picked up a handful of PS1/PS2/DC games instead: Power Moves Pro Wresting (PS1), Dynasty Warrriors (PS1), Outlaw Golf 2 (PS2), and Tokyo Xtreme Racer (DC).

Picked up my pre-order of Secret of Mana for PS4. I'm kinda glad I reserved it now as my cousin's friend said he had to scramble to find a copy locally. I have to imagine that GS would print more to meet demand but who really knows. I kind of wish they had went ahead and made a physical Vita release as well.  :-\

Also picked up Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology on 3DS along with the 3DS version of Ultimate NES Remix. I wanted to grab LOZ: A Link Between Worlds but silly GS has it new for $20 and used for $30.  ::) If it comes down to it, I'll pick up the new copy then swap the guts with a nice condition used copy as I don't much care for the Nintendo Selects packaging. Burned the rest of my PUR points to pick up Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite as it had the Steelbook packaging and also found MLB The Show 17: MVP Edition also with Steelbook packaging.

Half Price Books had a 20% your purchase coupon for this weekend and at one location I picked up Looney Tunes: Back in Action PS2, Bloodrayne 2 PS2, and an EU game Williams Pinball Classics. I didn't realize that it had gotten a domestic release until after I picked it up but I was happy to find a EU game in the wild. The same store has an Asian release of Dark Souls III and a JPN Gungrave CE for PS2. I bit the bullet and grabbed Punky Skunk for PS1 as it was in great condition but passed on big box PS1 releases of PO'ed and Johnny Bazookatone.

Another HPB location had 3 boxed NES titles I got for $15 each including Swords and Serpents, Defender of the Crown & Deadly Towers. The Defender of the Crown was missing a book but I happened to have one so I made it complete.  ;) I also scooped up Crash: Twinsanity from this location.

I finally bought something!

I broke down and bought something that I've never had, but I always kinda wanted.  Sega 32X

I used to have a Model 1 Genesis, but it was liberated from me in The Great Divorce of 2015.  AI didn't realize these things have gotten kinda high.  I bought my last one for $12.  Can't do that anymore.

As of yesterday, I picked up a Model 1 Genesis and a 32X (missing the patch cable) for $40.  Not the best deal ever, but I'm ok with it.

Also, after a getting a network adapter instead of a game Friday; Bayonetta 1+2 for the Switch came in.

I don't know, because I am going for a master set including variations. There are 700 some US games IIRC, but obviously I have some duplicate games due to variations.

Have purchased at the begining of this month my third copy of Animal Crossing New Leaf so am finally the Major of my own town, started playing this title at the 3DS of my wife where I used to help to get more money, stuff and favors to the neighbors, then my daughter asked for a copy of this title and again I helped her but when they started to went to the island to play the mini games and after I saw that they did have so much fun there decided that three is better than two so this is the reason why I have three games of the same franchise, so if anyone wants to come to Gotham please let me know also have purchased recently my digital copy of Kirby's Blowout Blast and Shantae and the Pirate's Curse  8)

My February pick-ups. So happy to finally add a Famicom Disk System and a PC Engine to my collection!
Anyone got some recommendations for good English friendly Disk System games? I got a few already but need to research the games for the system some more.

Nice! I just added a region free Core Grafx PC Engine to my collection as well. Solid game pickups too!

Awesome, it's a great system, and very cool that you got a hold of a region free one :)

Heck, it was a lot cheaper than buying just a vanilla Turbo Grafx 16 console.
Very jealous of the Famicom Disc system Metroid, cover is simply badass.

Haven't really been doing the pickup thing as of late.

Got a few pre-orders in.

Shadow of the Colossus Special Edition
Under Night In-Birth Exe: Late[st]

And an Attack from Mars Limited Edition Pinball Remake. Number 21 of 1,000 (eat your heart out Limited Run Games)

Pictures only do it so much justice so I made a video of the arrival, unboxing, first play, and first time beating it.

VIS
A fellow VGCollector contacted me and offered me Memorex VIS game he found at a thrift shop. Sure I need more for one of the worst game consoles ever made. lol  Thanks Topspot
- My Paint

SNES
I stopped at my local used game store and saw a huge stack of SNES games behind the counter. I asked about them and they told me they just got them in. I asked to see them and he gives me the long tape of price tags that they where just about to put on them. (the tags have the games name on them) I look through the names and see many classics, SMW, DKC, Mario Kart, Zelda, etc.. Then at the very bottom I read a game and it was priced at $119. I told them I wanted to see that game and it was in great shape. I had to buy it.
- E.V.O. Search for Eden

GB
A retro Atlus game for sale for $5? lol
- Cosmotank
Also saw this, while the game is nothing special and probably not playable unless you read Japanese it's goofy looking cart is want sold me.
- Tamagotchi: Osutchi & Mesutchi

GEN
My local used game store got in a box full of CIB Genesis games. I picked out a few I needed.
- Pro Moves Soccer
- Sesame Street: Counting Cafe
- Rampart

INTV
A seller online was selling this and I haggled and got if for under the going value.
- Scooby-Doo's Maze Craze

Atari 2600
My local Used game store got in an Atari 2600 lot and some rare games where in the bunch. They let me buy just the box and I found one game I was missing. A rare game that I had to buy. Its rare I find an Atari game I'm missing in the wild.
- Stronghold

And last something I've been looking for a long time and I finally find one at a good price. I originally saw it listed on Craigslist for $1200, then a week later He reduced it to $1000, another week later it was $800. I decided to pounce. I asked if he would take $600, He came back with No that he might go $700. I was thinking about pulling the trigger when he emailed me again and said He'd take $600 but I had to pick it up the next morning. So I told him yes I would.  ;D
I picked up a Ms. Pac-Man Cocktail Table Arcade, It even included an extra board attachment to play fast versions and a few hacked games. It's in awesome shape.

There is an American Legion in Salamanca NY that has had a Ms Pac-Man cocktail game since the 80s. I last was there a few years ago and it was still there and still worked. Alas, I am much bigger now than I was when I was a little kid, so it is not comfortable for me to play on it.

Here is the weekend thrifting results. Corel Draw and Army Builder are not games. The Sims 2 is from India and Beyond Divinity is from UK (as you see Xplosiv) so it was weird to see these at the thrift.

Here are most of my Febuary finds. most of these were an impulse buy when a local game store had a buy 1 get 1 free sale on ps2, wii, and XBox Original and a all $5 and under gb/gbc/gba games for $1. i literally spent 4 hours going through all gb/gbc/gba games and picking up everything i did not have. and about an hour through the ps2 games for things i would buy for esentially half price.
