Little extra's when buying 2nd hand games

i love it when i find little extra's in lots/games that i buy that werent mentioned during the purchase

in the newer nintendo games i often find unscratched nintendo-vip pointcards.. which i find a precious little extra image
also finding out that a CIB still has the baggie (nes/snes/gb/n64) is something that makes me smile every time

what are the little extra's that you find to be worth it ?

    When I bought those Fun Club scorepads, the seller threw in the original mail-in forms, envelopes, and an original advertisement (which I didn't have). Really liked that image.

    Or manuals when you think they are cart only image

    I enjoy finding original receipts from when the game was first purchased. Is that weird?

    i use to give people games for free when i was selling on ebay starting out ... like they would buy a 12 nes game lot with system and i would throw in a free game like yoshi, or yoshi's cookie, or something like that (i don't think anyone ever thanked me ... and recently when i started giving out free games people would message me in rants SAYING I DON'T WANT THIS GAME WHERE IS THE GAME YOU SAID IT CAME WITH to which i would politely reply inside the nintendo system ... and that's when i stopped giving out free games

    About a year ago there was a bubble bobble 2 manual. in a lot of nes games that i bought.

    I sold that for 75. I emailed the buyer and asked if he had the cart. He said he would find It and let me know

    I never hard back from him.

    I bought a neo geo AES game and found a neo geo CD game inside the case behind the manual! THAT was epic.



    Once I bought a virtual boy and mario golf cart was in the system but un advertised!

    I bought a large lot of CIB games around 3 years ago.The buyer said some games were new in the description.I ended up getting around 12 factory sealed games including mega man 5 and castlevania 3.All the other CIB`s were mint still with baggies.



    Another extra is when I bought a lot that had a r.o.b. and a top loader for cheap.

    When I received the stuff,the seller included the boxes for both systems.

    I got a bunch of Sega CD manuals once in an nes lot. Every now and then a free game. The best one for me was when I bought a huge lot of systems and games for a fair amount, but there was no mention of cables and controllers in the listing so I was wondering if they would be included. When I got it, they were there and the amount of controllers was epic (like 7 playstation controllers alone).

    I got an NES system once that had a jewel hidden in the piece that clips into the bottom. There was a note that said "I knew you would look in here, give me a call sometime. Julie" and enclosed was a very old unused condom. Guess the poor guy never looked in there.

    that would've been too hard to resist...the things people put in the proposed expansion slot...

    well.. if that condom was to be used in the 80's.. by the time you found it i think she'd be worn out image

    haha, probably true

    i once scored a killer deal on a huge lot that included a box F2 and a shit ton of games that were complete and a system for like $200 + shipping. I knew that it came with a boxed bubble bobble and I was stocked cuz i still needed the box. I got it and the boxed bubble bobble was in a former rental case with the box cut in half and put in the sleeve image. Needless to say I was a little pissed, but that soon turned to happiness when i opened the box only to find Bubble Bobble 2. A very nice surprise!

    turned out to be a donkey kong cart, with a donkey kong 3 box + manual .. image

    I recently got a copy of Galaga '90 for the Turbo Grafx which had a free copy of Sonic Spike stuffed inside. It's good that the game was free because that's about what it's worth!

    This one time I got an Atari Jaguar console and a bunch of games - about 6 games were sealed and for some reason there was an Atari Portfolio Parellel drive module in there aswell - go figure!
