Rough Love CIB Bundle Part 2: Ms. Pac-man, Gradius, TMNT, Wizards & Warriors
Auction Rules:
1. Bidding starts at $50 shipped, if you bid higher it must be in at least $1 increments.
2. Anybody from the 50 States of the USA is welcome to bid. Sorry, but I don't ship to Canada or Internationally--nor do I ship to APOs or oddball US island territories.
3. The auction starts as soon as the thread is posted and ends on Sunday, November 24th @ 10pm EST, specifically when my clock hits 10pm and I post the phrase AUCTION OVER.
4. I take payments via Paypal or Amazon Payments.
5. Payment is expected within 24 hours, though generally I'll hold an item for up to three days with communication. I do reserve the right to make an offer to the next bidder in line if the winner goes AWOL beyond a reasonable period.
6. If you're curious about my feedback I have 86 transactions at 100% on Cheapassgamer.
Auction Description:
Hi folks, up for auction is another batch of four original Nintendo games-- each includes the cartridge, manual, box, and styrofoam piece. Three of the games also come with their black slipcovers, whereas the Ms. Pac-man has a Tengen sleeve instead. Here is a list of what you'll receive:
- Ms. Pac-man (Tengen version)
- Gradius
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
- Wizards & Warriors
As in the previous auction, all boxes are homely-looking with significant edgewear or roughness, but are still usable. With the exception of Wizards and Warriors, the majority of these boxes have loose bottom flaps. Not such a big deal for shelf display, but care would be advised during vertical transport. Ms. Pac-man and TMNT each have a single piece of delaminating scotch tape on the bottom, while Gradius has a 5 millimeter band of sticker residue at the very bottom of the front face.
All cartridges have been tested to play and three out of four have had their pins cleaned. Note that I have not cleaned the Ms. Pac-man due to the placement of the back label, opting to leave it alone for preservation purposes.
The cartridge exteriors I would say are in very good shape for the most part: no label peel, sticker gunk, or plastic discoloration. About the biggest exception to this which I noticed is that the front label of the Ms. Pac-man exhibits some mild speckle-type "darkening", where Ms. Pacman's orange body is probably not as lusterous as it used to be.
***
A word on manual condition, bear with me because I can see things which cameras do not
1. Ms. Pac-man: Very Good, edges are straight, no writing or folds to the interior. There may be some almost imperceivable food residue near Ms. Pac-man's mouth that can be seen if tilted towards the light--I imagine somebody might've had a napkin with a piece of coffee cake nearby once. Ah, it should be mentioned as well that one side of the Tengen sleeve may have 2-3 stress creases in the face.
2. Gradius: Front cover has some surface folds which are textured to the thumbs, everything past this though would be a solid VG by my reckoning.
3. TMNT: Minor colorwear to the left hand edge, wrap-around cover has that light handling wear, creating by past thumbs for future thumbs to feel.
4. Wizards and Warriors: The wrap-around cover is separated from the rest, pages 3-5 have a strange yet non-critical wear area on the right-hand side where a thumb might go. Might've been some moisture issue where one page decided to take a bite out of its neighbor in that area? Surprisingly enough this manual isn't too bad otherwise.

Alright, from this point on are pictures of the subjects in question!
