General / My Local Game Store
« on: September 04, 2017, 09:58:54 pm »
I always talk in my finds about my local used game store.
I took some pic's a few weeks ago and thought I'd show you guys their set up.
I stopped in today and found a rare gaming console and it was priced the same as a normal one.
I'll show it to you guys in the next pick up post.
Sorry if some of the pictures are a little out of focus, hard to take a quality shot when there's people all around you.
If you guys want to share pic's of your favorite gaming store please do in this forum.
Their huge selection of XB360 & XBone games. I did take a pic of the PS4 & PS3 aisle but the picture was too blurry.
As you can see they have a ton of Wii, 3DS and DS games. Sorry if a few of the pics are a little blurry hard to take pics when a lot of people are around.
I forgot to take a pic of the Wii U & Gamecube area.
Think they got enough PS2 games? lol
They had a sale on PS2 games buy 3 get 3 free this weekend.
Also have a ton of OG XBox games.
Also on sale this weekend B3G3 Free
Their PSP & PS1 section.
Their Sega and other odd system cabinet.
They had a pretty good deal on a Gundam for Dreamcast. (sorry it was sold)
Their N64 and other Nintendo stuff Cabinet.
And last the NES & SNES (also Atari and other 80s games) Cabinet. Lots of games to look through. lol
Hope you guys enjoyed this peek into my local used game store. Again sorry a few pic's are not the best kinda weird trying to time it right to take a picture with people around.
It's so far the best used game store I've found in my area. Their prices are at or under the going value. Look hard and you'll find a deal. (like what I picked up today) I'm always finding deals and they get in new stuff on a daily basis.
When I talk about "My local used game store" this is what I'm talking about.
Please share pic's of your favorate local used game store, I'd love to see them.
I might update this forum with new pic's when I see something ether at a good deal or just something you don't see everyday.

General / Well... This happened.
« on: June 04, 2017, 12:16:47 am »
This weekend I was invited to sell some of my extras at a Pokemon Con in Madison.
It was mainly for Pokemon Card players and vendors but there where a few selling video games.
A youtuber rented a small booth to promote their channel and invited me to sell my extras.
I priced them a little under the going value because well I want to get money to get something else for my collection.
I was hit by the large resellers who bought a lot of my stuff. I checked their booths and good lord where they over priced. $55 for a gold NES Zelda? $50 for FF7 GH? ouch. Anyway after they bought what they wanted they contacted the people running the show upset I was selling games so cheap and where threatening to leave to show unless I was gone. They tried to iron out the issue but in the end they asked me to leave.
My Youtube friends where more mad about it then I was, and they ended their booth as well. I told them they didn't have too, but they didn't want to be at a con where a larger vendor got their way just because they can pay for more space.
I never thought this was a thing at cons, that bigger vendors can muscle out the little ones so they don't have competition. What BS.

Marketplace / Come meet me in Madison.
« on: June 03, 2017, 03:16:33 am »
I will be in Madison Wisconsin this weekend June 3rd & 4th at the Monona Terrace for Ohana-Con selling many of my extra games.
It's a Pokemon Event where people come to play the Pokemon Card game, but there's also few vendors selling video games. I will be one of them, I have my games marked under going value. If your in the area come on out and say "Hey Flea". I'll be against the back wall with a local Youtuber selling his Deaderson's DVDs and merch.
Maybe I'll see ya there and make ya a deal.

General / All my pick ups for 2016
« on: January 08, 2017, 02:41:51 am »
I thought I'd share all my pickups I got in one year again.
Going through all the pictures I'm always surprised just how much I get in one year.
Many new game consoles where added to my collection and I get my first arcade cabinets this year.
There's a lot of pic's so enjoy this recap of all my pic ups in 2016.
A fellow collector sold me this Atari Computer for cheap and I finally got Magic Girl which I pre-ordered 2 years ago.
Finally was able to find a copy of Rodland and thank god I picked up Devils Third at the time.
This was that day I found a stack of CIB games at my local used game store for the price of a loose game.
A rare Japanese game console entered my collection and many cool homebrews.
2 more rare and obscure consoles entered my collection, (still love that Wondermega) and this is when I found Streets of Rage 2 and Castlevania Bloodlines for only $2 at a thrift store. Also got the last Dreamcast game I needed to complete my collection.
So glad I pre-ordered Fire Emblem Special Edition and got the first of the Limited Run Games.
Finally broke down and bought a Retron 5, why? because it was on sale for $80. Still never used the thing. lol
Thrift store fines galore, the day I found a stack of Dreamcast games at a thrift store for $2 a piece. Also picked up a ROB box from a local game store. It's in rough shape but I still love displaying it in my game room.
The same week I find even more great games at that same thrift store.
MORE games I picked up that day from that same thrift store. I have NEVER found so much games fro one thrift store in my life.

When I bought 150 Super Famicom game lot for $100.
More to the Super Famicom Lot, I'm thinking of trying this again in the future.
Last of the Super Famicom lot, even though many of the games where not in the best shape, can't beat under a dollar a game.
That neon is hanging in my game room and those weird Japanese porn games. I love the reactions I get when people see the cover to the one game. Yet the game itself is almost impossible to play. (maybe that's a good thing) lol
Another one of those weird Japanese porn games and I finally find a Giant Yoshi Amiibo. lol
The first finds from a garage sale, I Wii U box full of Nintendo toys. lol Also picked up a silver Gameboy Advance player.

General / Does this ever happen to you trading games.
« on: November 18, 2016, 01:03:26 am »
I've been trading games with fellow collector's / gamers for years. On this site for the most part i don't have many issues when it comes to trading. I always try and trade value for value. Some use ebay others price charting etc. Well I've been on many facebook game selling / trading sites and many times when I contact one to trade they quote me high end ebay prices and when I quote back ebay prices and tell them I will trade close to value. (Long as its close i dont care) They get upset telling me I overprice and think i'm trying to rip them off.
Today i had a guy who had a $60 game full ebay value (he quoted me its value first) and wanted to trade for a game I had that at full ebay value is going for $130. I tell him i can't do it and he had nothing else I wanted and then he gets upset. Saying my game was only worth $80. He wanted full ebay for his game but low end for mine. I feel these people want full price for their games but want reseller trade in prices for my games. If i'm doing that i'll trade it in at my local used game store.
I'm one who loves a deal and I try and work with fellow collector's when I trade, I try and trade value for value.
If you quote me high end ebay expect high end ebay back.
Am I wrong thinking this way?

On Friday I only hit about 10 sales, and this last sale I hit before going to go stand in line to get Dark Pit. It was the classic "Little Old Lady sale" I asked about games and the lady said her husband had a Sega. She goes in to ask him and she comes back out and says sorry it wasn't a Sega it was PS3. Then her husband comes out (a little old man) asking me if I was interested in PS3 games? I told him "sure, I'll take a Look" and he comes out with a box. I look inside and it's full of PS1 games and Strategy guides, there was a few PS2/PS3 games too. I pick out many games/guides and we agree to $25. I only had $10 on me so I had him bag it up and I was going to rush to the bank. But at the last second he said he had more, but he wasn't sure he wanted to sell them. He goes inside and brings out a stack of PS1 and PS2 games. He first shows me a bunch of Final Fantasy games but he said he was a huge fan of them and acted like he didn't want to sell them. Then I saw the stack of Suikoden Games. I had to really offer a lot to get him to sell them, he agreed to sell the 5 games for $55. So I left to get the $80 and when I get back I hand him the money and was happy to get out with these games & guides.

Now when I made this deal Suikoden Tactics was in this deal, I remember putting it in the bag before I left to get the money. But when I looked through the bag today, The Guide was there, but the game was missing. I looked everywhere, In the car, the house, you name it and it's nowhere to be found. I'm thinking he took it out of the bag when I got the money. (sigh) At least it was the cheapest of the Suikoden games that went missing.

Modern Video Games / Shenmue 3!!!
« on: June 16, 2015, 05:14:30 am »
There's a Kickstarter for Shenmue 3, I was about to make a pledge til I saw it was only going to have a Physical release on PC. 
They are making a PS4 digital but no physical, I will be watching this and as soon as I see a Physical Console version of any kind from maybe a stretch goal I will but my money down. They are already close to making their goal, so stretch goals I hope are next and I see a Physical Console version.
Here's the link If you want to back it.

Hardware and Tech / Cant get a Gamecube game to play. Any suggestions?
« on: February 12, 2015, 10:07:11 pm »
I have a rare Gamecube game and it's having issues playing.
It's not the gamecube it self, I ran it in several GC and all the GC's play other discs fine.
The game will start then give me a disc error. I have gotten the game to play a couple times but most of the time I get the error.
The disc is in great shape, no cracks or damage on the top. It was bought used. I even took it to a professional to have cleaned and still wont read. The disc looks almost new.
If anyone has any tips to get a gamecube game like this to work, let me know. Kinda hate to see this rare game go to waste.

- Rosalina
Stopped at Gamestop and picked up...
- Bowser
- Toon Link
Then stopped at Toys R Us to get lucario that I pre-ordered....
And i they sold them all last Friday to ONE GUY. not kidding here. Some idiot didn't hold any for the pre-orders. I was not happy and the Manager Took my info and will make sure the next batch will go to pre-orders. As an apology she gave me a heavy discount on any game I wanted so I got GTAV on XBone.
Then I go to Best Buy to see about Meta Knight, and the guy said oh we had those a month ago and they already sold out. Now I think he might have been mistaken because there's no US Meta Knights flooding EBAY so I think it just got Delayed. (I hope) lol
So I went to another Target and picked up 2 more Rosalina's JUST IN CASE i need em for trade to get the 2 I need.
If you have Lucario or Meta Knight and want to trade for Rosalina send me a PM. I'd rather trade and know i get one then wait and hope i get one. lol
Only 5 more items and I hit 10,000!!!!
I went out on a game quest and traveled all over to many game stores, thrift shops and gamestops.

Marketplace / Going on a DreamQuest (complete DC collection)
« on: January 10, 2015, 02:03:56 am »
I saw a YouTuber I watch talk about completing his Dreamcast collection and he and I where missing about the same amount of games, so I thought I'd join him and try and complete my collection with him.
I already hit up many EBAY "Make Offers" and ended up with about 10 games added to my collection. Got most of them way below what most where asking. Most of the games I'm missing are not rare or expensive games but thought I'd ask VGcollecter's if they had any of the games I'm looking for at a good price. (or trade)
I'm looking for a good deal, maybe a package deal.
here's the one's I'm missing....
18 Wheeler American Pro Trucker
Conflict Zone
Deep Fighter
Donald Duck Goin' Quackers
Ducati World Racing Challenge
ESPN International Track & Field
ESPN NBA 2 Night
Gundam Side Story
Hidden & Dangerous
House of the Dead 2
Monaco Grand Prix
Ms. Pac-Man Maze Madness
NBA 2K2
NFL Blitz 2000
Psychic Force 2012
Ready 2 Rumble Boxing Round 2
Red Dog
Resident Evil 3
South Park Rally
Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles
Striker Pro 2000
Super Runabout
Tokyo Xtreme Racer
Urban Chaos
All games MUST be complete and in good shape (disc/Book/Back art) Case can be damaged.
PM me if you have any of these games.
