My copy of Namco Museum 50th Anniversary for PS2 that I got last week wouldn't read. So I took it back and in return I was able to get Crash Bandicoot: Wrath of Cortex and Midway Arcade Treasures (vol. 1). (There really wasn't a lot to choose from that I didn't already have.)

4. I own the entire Super Mario series up to Super Mario Galaxy:
-Super Mario Bros. 1-3 (NES)
-Super Mario World (SNES)
-Super Mario All-Stars (SNES)
-Super Mario Land 1-3 (Game Boy)
-Super Mario Advance 1-4 (GBA)
-Super Mario 64 (N64)
-Super Mario Sunshine (Gamecube)
-New Super Mario Bros. (DS)
-New Super Mario Bros. Wii (Wii)
-Super Mario Galaxy (Wii)

Well, all of them except Super Mario Deluxe (GBC) and Classic Mario Bros. (NES). And I don't own a Wii U or 3DS, yet.

you don't have all of them yet

super mario bros. special for nec pc-8801 and sharp x1
super mario all stars 25th anniversary edition
super mario bros 2 japanese version
vs super mario bro

but then there are the rare ones that i dont expect anyone on the site to get

all night nippon super mario bros
nintendo world championships

I don't import, because I don't know a lick of Japanese nor do I have a Famicom or any other Japanese system even if I could.  And I consider having the SNES version of All-Stars no different than the Wii version. It has the same games on it. I remember being quite disappointed that the Wii version had the same games. And I do have Lost Levels on my copy of All-Stars.

I pretty much never buy multiple copies of the same game, unless it's a handheld version of a console game or vice-versa. I figure why blow my money on a game I already own, when I could buy a game I don't own.

Never heard of Super Mario Bros. Special until now. But considering I'll likely never see those systems much less own one, I'll probably never get the opportunity to play it, unfortunately.

Called eBay today. It was a simple case of miscommunication. Customer service lady yesterday was supposed to send a notice to a seller for me because his PayPal account wasn't verified and wouldn't accept my payment. She accidently sent the message to me. So I call today to get it to right place, and the guy I talk to today is rude as hell. He's arguing with me, raising his voice above mine to tell me that I'm wrong and paying is my responsibility as I'm trying to tell him I have and he won't accept it because of his PayPal account. I finally get sick of getting into a voice-raising match and ask for a supervisor and he tells me "What's a supervisor gonna do?" So I'm all like, "Are you fucking with me, now?" And he gets pissed and tells me not to talk to him that way. Seriously? And he's "customer service". I don't think the guy knows the meaning of the phrase. I'm just pissed off now. Luckily, after he pissed me off and I hung up on him. I called back and got a nice lady to help me out with it.

You never played Link to the Past? What?
Yeah, play that.

Yep, this. It's a gaming masterpiece that should be played by any gamer that likes Nintendo, Zelda, or 2D gaming. Just an incredible experience that has fantastic game design and great polish.

Some of my biggest achievements in collectings:

1. Acquiring some of the rarer consoles like TurboGrafx-16, Sega Saturn, Neo Geo Pocket Color, and Sega CD (and then having my Sega CD stop wanting to read discs  )

2. Some of my more rare games (nothing too special, though):
-Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (PS1)
-The Dungeons & Dragons Anthology: The Master Collection (PC)
-The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker (Gamecube) - Not sure why exactly, but this one is expensive now.
-Mega Man: Legends (PS1)
-Parasite Eve (PS1)
-Radiant Historia (NDS) - Soon to be sold.
-Resident Evil 2: Dual-Shock Edition (PS1)
-Splatterhouse (TG-16)

3. I'm so very close to 500 games. Like only 3 titles to go.

4. I own the entire Super Mario series up to Super Mario Galaxy:
-Super Mario Bros. 1-3 (NES)
-Super Mario World (SNES)
-Super Mario All-Stars (SNES)
-Super Mario Land 1-3 (Game Boy)
-Super Mario Advance 1-4 (GBA)
-Super Mario 64 (N64)
-Super Mario Sunshine (Gamecube)
-New Super Mario Bros. (DS)
-New Super Mario Bros. Wii (Wii)
-Super Mario Galaxy (Wii)

Well, all of them except Super Mario Deluxe (GBC) and Classic Mario Bros. (NES). And I don't own a Wii U or 3DS, yet.

I can now add Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II to my more rare games list! And Radiant Historia is history (heh), sold it for a cool $50.

And I know they aren't exactly rare, but they do go for a pretty penny: I also got Final Fantasy Anthology, Final Fantasy VIII & IX in a lot on eBay for only $15 complete! It was in the wrong category.

General / Re: the one item

« on: February 10, 2013, 01:54:10 pm »

Mega Man Legends 2 (PS1), at a decent price. It seems crazy that the average price for a used copy is more than the price for a copy of it when it was brand-new.

Video Game Auction Watch / Re: 30 years of collecting for how much??????

« on: February 10, 2013, 12:49:31 am »

The seller has a feedback of 0, and he's selling an item of this kind of value. I hope nobody is dumb enough to actually buy it.

I saw this earlier today. Honestly, it kind of reminds me of Finngamer's stuff. Hmm....honestly...some of those pics look like they were taken right out of one of his game room tours...

I don't think it's Finngamer because I think it's in Italy. Also, the guy explained that he has been on ebay under a different username since 2000, but opened a new account exclusively to sell this collection. Who knows what the real story is.

Because that makes sense. 

Why wouldn't he want to use an account with history? Unless that history is bad history.

Found a weird score today. Apparently Turbo Grafx had a magazine (or 3 actually) that you could subscribe to. Found a bundle of them at a HPB for a few dollars. Has about 15 issues. The names are Turboplay, Turbo Force, and Duo something. They look like they havent ever even been opened. Im going to try to get some pics soon.

That's an awesome find!

From my money made off of selling Radiant Historia which is reaching crazy prices (and other than the cool battle system, was frankly boring); I got these games:

-Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II (XBox)
-Final Fantasy Anthology (PS1)
-Final Fantasy VIII (PS1)
-Final Fantasy IX (PS1)
-Legaia 2: Duel Saga (PS2)
-Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection (XBox 360)
-Twisted Metal 2 (PS1)

The 3 FF games came in lot for only $15!
