Went out and hit some more garage sales, Here's what I found...

First I found an Assassin's Creed Black Flag Strategy Guide for $1.

I find a sale with a ton of Pops, These where $5 and where cool for the game room.
- Super Sonic
- Charizard

PS3
I stop at a sale and ask about games and the guy goes inside and brings out three PS3 games. He only wanted $1 a game and I just bought all three.
- Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition
- Medal of Honor Limited Edition
- Call of Duty Black Ops II

Next sale I find a box with XB1, Wii and WiiU games. I got these for $2 each.
Wii U
- Just Dance 2016
- Call of Duty Ghosts
Wii
- Hasbro Family Game Night 3

At another sale I ask about video games and the lady says she has a Wii U, She brings out a Wii U with the AC Adapter.
But it was missing the tablet controller, I ask if she had it but she couldn't find it. I ask her if she had anything else, she goes back in and brings out a stack
of PS4 and XB1 games and a empty Mario Kart 8 case. Then she says she has a Nintendo and she brings out a NES with a couple controllers and one game.
I ask what she wanted for it and she says $200. (hell no) Then I ask what she wanted for the one game and she says $10. Seeing its a $25-$30 game,
I paid her for the game. Then I was about to leave but she wanted to look for the tablet, She finally find the controller and it had a layer of dust on it.
I offer $40 for the Wii U and once I get it home I check to see if there's any disc inside the system hoping to find Mario Kart 8. There was a disc inside but not
Mario Kart. Here's everything I got.
Wii U
- Nintendo Wii U (black) system
- New Super Mario Bros. Wii U / Super Luigi Bros.
NES
- The Addam's Family

Last I ask a lady about games and she says she thinks she has something, she comes out with four GBA boxes, but they had no games in them.
While I love seeing these, I asked about anything else or does she know where the carts where? She goes back to look and brings out some Genesis games
and some PC games. I passed on all the PC junk, but I was happy to take the Genesis games. I got everything for $7.
GEN
- Combat Cars
- The Great Circus Mystery
- College Slam
GBA
- Sea World Adventure Parks
- Sims 2 Pets

JAG
I stop at a sale late in the day and ask about games and the guy says he has one Atari game, My first thought was let me guess Combat on Atari 2600.
I still ask to see it still thinking it was going to be a common 2600 game and to my surprise he hands me a Jaguar game, I good one at that.
- Alien vs. Predator

Wii
I stop at a sale and ask about games and the lady points to a large box in the corner of the garage, I look inside and see a Wii with a ton of stuff.
It was only $40 for everything and I just bought it, figured I'd look through it later.
- Wii System (black) with two sets of hooks ups (guessing they had a second Wii at some point)

I hit a sale and see a box full of PS3 and PSP games, Some where SEALED. The games where marked at $3, $5 or $10.
I make a stack of games I didn't have in my collection and made a deal for all for $30. The guy was a collector and told me he had a PSP game that was
going for $180 online and he was going to sell it on Ebay. He shows me the game and I lookup the going value and it was $60. I needed the game in my collection
so I offered $40, I show him that the value online was $60 and not $180 and he agreed at $40. So I got it sealed at the price of a CIB.
PS3

- Hitman Absolution (sealed)
- Diablo III Reaper of Souls (sealed)
- Lost Via Domus
- Red Faction Guerrilla
- Mass Effect 2
PSP

And the game he claimed was worth $180 but I got for $40.
- Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars (Sealed Greatest Hits with strategy guide)

And last the Best find of the day.
I stop at a sale and ask about games and the guy says he has a Nintendo, But it wasn't at the house the sale was at. I give him my number and tell him
to call me, Later I get a call and go back to the sale to see he has a NES lot all CIB. We talking  about a price and we agreed on $200 for everything.
NES
- Nintendo NES Control Deck in the box.
- Nintendo MAX in the box.
- Super Mario Bros.
- Super Mario Bros. 2
- Super Mario Bros. 3
- Zelda II: Adventure of Link
- Mike Tyson's Punch-Out
- Yoshi
- Ghosts n' Goblins
- Baseball
- 10 Yard Fight
- Ring King
- Karate Kid
- Bases Loaded 2

Now a couple stories of stuff I didn't buy...

I ask about games and the guy says he has a Wii, He shows me a garbage bag with the most disgusting Wii I've ever seen.
It looked like someone vomited all over it and showed signs of bug infested. I didn't even ask a price, just passed.

Another sale I see a Zelda Gold Wii Remote. She wanted $40 for it and she was saying it was a great deal because it was going for $200 online.
I look it up (just incase the price jumped and it was going for $40 on ebay) The remote was pretty used too. People like this drive me crazy.
Anytime someone talks about what its worth online ALWAYS look it up yourself.

Another sale I ask about games and the guys brings out a bunch of Amiibos new on their cards. He claimed they where going for $100 a piece online.
Most all where valued under $20. I didn't need any of these and I just passed.

His dad comes out and i ask him about video games and he tells me he has some switch games, I say I'm interested to see
what he has and the dad and kid goes in. and first the kid comes out with 3 games, Then his dad comes out when even more.
All together 14 loose Switch carts. I ask if he had any of the cases and he said no, then I ask what he wanted for all the carts?
The kid first said $20, I look at the dad and say only if your okay with that? He says no, that's too low (which I totally understand)

General / Re: My Top 30 Pick Ups of 2023!
« on: January 07, 2024, 06:11:03 am »
Remember is doesn't have to be 30 games, it can just be 1 game, I'm surprised a few listed 30 items.
I list 30 because I get a lot of video game goodies over the year. Most can list 10, 5, or even just one great piece they where excited to add to their game collection.

General / My Top 30 Pick Ups of 2023!
« on: January 01, 2024, 01:29:44 am »
Another Year has past and time to go over what I found was the best pieces I added to my video game collection in 2023.
List is based on anything from rarity to just something I got excited to add to my collection or just loved playing this year.
I'd love to hear your best pickups for the year, It don't have to be 30, just pick the top 5, 3, or even one.
It could be a rare game, a game you played the most this year or something you always wanted and finally got this year.

So lets start my list of the top 30 pickups I got in 2023.

30. Cybervision 2001 Home Computer
An odd computer console from the late 70s that only sold at Montgomery Ward's. I saw this up for sale on Ebay and tossed a low bid on on it and to my surprise I won it. I really don't think anyone cared about this thing. lol
It's one of those systems that looked so 70s and wanted it in my collection, A system that will always get a reaction of "what is that?".


29. Wonder Boy in Monster Land (SMS)
A friend was selling his collection and he had a huge collection of SMS games, This was one of the games I've been wanting in my collection for years,
I finally got copy for a great deal and I finally got to play this game on the SMS.


28. LG DVS CD-i (VE-200)
I love adding odd and rare game consoles to my collection and this was so cool to find at a great price. There's a lot of CD-i consoles variants and when I see lists
of CD-i consoles this one is missing a lot. It appeared on eBay for an okay price, but I threw out an offer and it was accepted. Another system most people will see in my game room and not know what it is.


27. NIV Bible & The 20 Lost Levels of Joshua (GB)
This was a game that only makes this list because of it's rarity, I saw this on eBay for close to $600 and put it on my watch list, and I get sent an offer of under $200 and it came with the manual, I look online and saw only other one was sold for $500 and it was cart only. I had to take the offer.


26. Car Batter Joe (GBA)
This came into my local used game store with it's manual. It was priced at about $200, It sat there in the glass cabinet for a long time. One night I decided to trade in a tub full of scrap games I picked up from garage sales that I might have paid $100 for and they offer me close to $500 in store credit and I got this rare GBA game.


25. Final Fantasy I-VI Collection - US RELEASE (Switch/PS4)
These are one of the games I was so glad I was able to get an order in. I got both US ESRB versions, the PS4 version is the one that is more rare due to it didn't get an international release like the Switch version did. I bought that version to open. At this time the PS4 version will be one of the rarest and most expensive for the system in the future. I feel blessed I was able to get a copy of both.


24. Street Fighter Collection (SAT)
Another game my friend sold me, He had a lot of the rarest games for Saturn, He sold me this as part of the lot I needed for my collection. I'm always happy to find Saturn games for my collection.


23. Heart of the Alien (Sega CD)
I don't find Sega CD games often and when I went long distance game hunting I find a small game store I've never been too before and they had a huge selection of Sega CD games, I made a decent stack of games I needed in my collection and the owner made me a great bundle deal.


22. Scrapyard Dog (Atari 7800)
I've been slowly trying to get more 7800 games, I usually just look for loose carts, but I saw an open bid for a sealed copy of Scrapyard Dog and made bid and won it for about half of what people ask for a sealed copy.


21. Psycho Fox (SMS)
this was part of the bundle I got from my friend, Another SMS game that I've been wanting in my collection and its not a bad platformer to play too.


20. Hurricanes (SNES)
This game was never on my list of games I wanted till my buddy got a copy and I found out its a platformer and not a Soccer game. While its not the greatest game its still better then I thought it going to be. Guess its based on a cartoon from the 90s. But it was on my hit list once I found it to be kind of hard to find.
I made a HUGE trade with a big collector (there's more on this list).


19. Brutal: Above the Claw (32X)
I sold a ton of extras to a big reseller and used that money to get two games in my collection. This game was underpriced and sealed at a game expo.
The other game I got you'll see later on this list.


18. Mega Man Star Force 2 Zerker × Saurian (NDS)
I love the Mega Man series and this was one of the few I was missing. Found it at my local used game store and got it for a great price.
Think I still need three more Mega Man games on the DS.


17. Avenging Spirit (GB)
When I saw LRG do a reproduction cart, I almost bought it but I looked up to see if it got an original release, It did and I didn't recognize it due to its bland cover. I passed on buying the Reprint and watched auctions for an original copy. months later I see one with an open auction, I watch it and bid near the end and won it for about half the price of what others sell for. (whoo hoo)
It's a fun game, I don't know why they didn't put a ghost on the cover of this game instead of a gangster with a tommygun. 


16. Ogre Battle (SNES)
This was a game that felt like a torn in my side for years, Years ago I went game hunting with a buddy and he found this game before me and I missed getting one, then I was at an expo and I saw a copy at a good price and I wanted to see what else the show had and came back and it was sold, then later I find one at a good price online and I get a fake copy (yes I got my money back) Then out of nowhere I find one at a random game store I stopped at. It was in such great shape and a good price, I asked the owner if he could open the game for me and he did, it was the real deal and I picked it up.


15. Nintendo Switch OLED Zelda Edition
While I know, this system isn't that rare or anything, But when I saw the leaked pictures of the Tears of the Kingdom Switch, I wanted one so bad.
I'm not one that goes bonkers for variant color consoles, But every time I see a Zelda or Metroid special edition system, I'm in.


14. Soul Star (Sega CD)
When I bought that Heart of the Alien on Sega CD I also got this game, one they had a great price for it and they made me a bundle deal. It's a cool shooter, I always get excited getting new Sega CD games in my collection, I had a good year for getting Sega CD games this year.


13. Dungeon Explorer (Sega CD)
This was a part of the HUGE trade I made with a large collector, and I loved this game. This game is basically Gauntlet on the Sega CD.
Great Multiplayer on the Sega CD. So glad I got a copy of this game finally in my collection.


12. Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom - Collector's Edition (Switch)
I love Zelda games and when Breath of the Wild came out I felt this was one of the best Zelda games in a while. Then I get Tears of the Kingdom and I couldn't put this game down. For me this was my GotY. I beat this game into the ground. I'm sad to hear the next Zelda is not going to be apart of this series of Zelda but I hope they keep the open world with the next Zelda.


11. Ardy Lightfoot (SNES)
This was a game I've been watching for on eBay for a long time, The games that appeared online where ether in rough shape or way overpriced.
Then I made a HUGE trade with a big collector and he had this game in great shape and he had it in the box. I traded a ton of my extras to get a bunch of rare game I needed for my collection, there's more from this trade ahead.


10. Bronkie the Bronchiasaurus (SNES)
This was part of the HUGE trade, He had the game brand new in box, he was the one who broke the seal. Now this game is not good, but I loved the weirdness this game is. I love my weird games and I've been trying to get a copy for years and I finally get one and complete the weird Heath Hero games on SNES.


9. Futurama (PS2)
There was two high value games I was missing on PS2, This was one. Then my local used game store got a copy in and in great shape. I'm also love the Futurama series. I used my store points and got it for a great price. The game is okay, I only really recommend it if your Futurama fan.


8. Dungeons & Dragons Collection (SAT)
This was a game on my watch list on eBay for a long time, I couldn't pull the trigger till I could find a good deal for one. When my friend was selling his collection and I saw this in there, I bundled it with everything else I was getting and got it for a lot less then online.

 
7. Golden Axe Warrior (SMS)
Another hard to find SMS game my friend sold me in that bundle from his collection. I never played this game before and never looked up footage.
I thought it was going to be like the other Golden Axe games but it turns out to be a Zelda clone. One of my new favorite games for the SMS.


6. Super Turrican 2 (SNES)
Part of the HUGE trade with a big collector, this was another game I had a hard time finding in the wild or a good deal online. When I found it in his collection for trade I jumped to add it the games to trade my extras for.


5. Sonic Blast Man 2 (SNES)
Another game from the HUGE trade, another one of the SNES games I wanted in my collection and I finally got it.


4. Flink (Sega CD)
Part of the HUGE trade, This game was a game I almost bought years ago for like $50 and then I kicked myself because the game shot up in price not long after that. Glad I was able to get it in this trade.


3. Earthworm Jim - Special Edition (Sega CD)
Part of the HUGE trade, I had a tough time finding this game at all in the wild. I had to include it in this trade.


2. Radical Rex (Sega CD)
Part of the HUGE trade, I knew this was the number one game I had to get from this collector, This game usually at most has only one copy (if your lucky) appear
on sale online. He even wanted me to know that he saved the sticker that was on the original seal. This might be the most valuable but I feel it is rarer then
Snatcher, Popful Mail or maybe even Keio, right now there's six CIB Keio's and only one CIB Rad Rex on eBay as of writing this. Glad to have this in my collection.


1. The Amazing Spider-Man: Web of Fire (32X)
This had to be number one, This was the other game I used the money I got selling a ton of extras to a big reseller. At an Expo I saw this game CIB and the seller made me a deal I couldn't say no too.
I knew this was my only chance to get this game in my collection so I had to pull the trigger and buy it. With this and Brutal off the 32X list I might just complete the 32X collection in the future.


And that's my best additions to my collection in 2023, Every year I wonder if I can top that last and this year I got a lot of grails off my list.
I hope everyone got at least one grail off your list of some kind, and may 2024 be better then the last year for all of us
in both collecting video games and in life. Here's too a wonderful 2024.  ;D
