Recently Added To Collection/Recently Purchased

Snagged a complete copy of the original Castlevania, saved about $20 off of the ebay price. The guy even shipped it in one of those clear plastic box protectors we've been talking about, though there is some kind of sticker residue on it. I'll prolly swap it out with a new one when I order box protectors for everything else.

I bought the Wind Waker guide and the FF Anthology guide for $4.00 a piece. I thought it was a great deal!

Last addition for a while. Gotta put a little money aside for travels.

The last addition to my collection were:

- Kirby's Adventure (french Canadian) Brand New, Factory Sealed
- Sky Shark (cartridge only)
- Tecmo Super Bowl (cartridge only)

I've been trying to avoid french Canadian games. Moving out of Quebec helped a little but I still stumble upon bilingual versions of games here in BC. I just don't know what kind of value they hold compared to the [NA] versions.

edit: I realized I sounded like a douche. not my intention. I'm actually curious if these are rarer / if they retain value compared to English NA versions.

Kirby's Adventure was the only NES game released in french (in NA anyway). I bought it because it was in an excellent condition and I really wanted that game (which is probably my favourite childhood game) to be VGA graded

I picked up Battletoads in Battlemaniacs and Super Double Dragon.

Talk about an epic fail... It's not Super Double Dragon I got, it's Double Dragon 5... whoops. Dammit.

@brettybluevein Holy Crap. That is a nice haul. Garage Sales I go to never seem to have anything decent....

[madmax]

Sweet haul, that definitely kickstarts a new collection i wish i could find a garage sale like that!

[darko]

@brettybluevein where was it?

[brettybluevein]

Del City

[darko]

Ahh...that's out of my target zone...CL ad?

[brettybluevein]

Yeah. What do you consider your target zone?

[darko]

I don't stray too far out of the Edmond, OKC, Moore, Norman zone. My parents live near Tulsa so occasionally I'll poke around up there. My targets are directly related to my laziness to be honest. If I see something crazy on CL I'll go out of my way to pick it up but that doesn't happen too often.
