    Not sure, probably only worth $10-$15, the joystick on this one is a little loose.

    New find: Super Nintendo + N64 package with bonus Sega stuff

    Here is the list, I haven't picked it up yet but it is a sealed deal. We'll see what kind of condition the stuff is in. Will update with pics after I pick it up. Some of the games include manuals/strategy guides. Not sure what Sega stuff is included but he said "a system with a bunch of games".

  • Yeah, to my knowledge that controller was a Toys R' Us exclusive. It's actually worth quite a bit more than other ones. If it had a tight stick you could sell it for $20 easy, and even upwards of $30. Someone had one on craigslist here for about $35 and it sold. I wouldn't pay that much...but it is pretty!

    Is there a way to tighten N64 controller joysticks up? I have a box of at least 20 of them that I can't get rid of because the joysticks are too loose.
  • You can buy joystick replacements on Ebay and swap them out, but I've heard it's kind of a bitch. Not too difficult technically I've heard, but just kind of a hassle. But I've only seen the replacement sticks on Ebay for $6+ shipping which almost defeats the purpose of trying, but it may be worth it on some of the more desired colors (and the Gold one)



    Here's a stick on ebay

  • And might be interested in some SNES games if the price is right and you're willing to part with it! image
  • Thanks for the info, Chris. I am headed to pick up the big SNES lot today, among other things.

    To start my day, this nice little package was $6 at the pawn shop:
    image
    • Game Boy Pocket (excellent except missing the battery cover image )
    • Pokemon Red - saves perfectly
    • Donkey Kong Country 3 (SNES)
    • And a Separation Anxiety (SNES) poster - this pawn shop always gives me inserts, boxes, manuals, etc for free
  • Yeah replacing N64 sticks isn't worth it. I successfully did it one and it took me about 20 minutes though I'm sure that time would go down with a learning curve if repeated frequently. They are actually MUCH more complex than you'd think. I think it's about 7 screws on the back (2 in the memory card slot), then more screws in the joystick unit and the joystick unit is about 3 or 4 smaller parts that require careful orientation otherwise it won't work.



    Also, not sure that the Gold Controller was a Toy's R US Exclusive, though I know the Xtreme Green one is. I'd say a Gold controller is worth $15-$20 and if you get anymore it was from a newb who overpaid (which does happen).
  • Yeah, its worth looking into for me since I just counted, and I have 26 controllers of varying colors with joysticks that are far too loose to resell. Maybe I can turn them into some kind of decoration or Halloween costume, LOL!
  • Wasn't somebody here interested in picking up N64 controllers with crappy sticks?

  • O.K. - picked up the SNES/N64 lot today, and some other stuff. See list a few posts back for SNES/N64 games. The SNES/N64/Sega Genesis lot cost me $275 and $10 in gas. A very mint SNES was included, but I forgot it in the picture.

    Other stuff I picked up:
    • 3 loose NES carts (TMNT, Tetris, Galaga) - free
    • Teal Game Boy Color w/2 carrying cases, 9 games including Pokemon red/yellow/blue, lots of accessories - $30
    • Diddy Kong Racing promo VHS tape - $1
    • Zone of the Enders: 2nd Runner ($30 ps2 game) - $10
    • Street Fighter: Anniversary Collection (ps2) - $10
    • Destroy All Humans 2 (ps2) - $8

    Not sure if the following have any value but they caught my eye so I picked them up:
    • 2 ancient Dungeons & Dragons PC games (on 5 1/4 floppies, and in mint condition too!) - $1 each
    • 2 Heroes Quests Milton Bradley board games (anyone remember these?) - 50 cents each
    I would guess that I can double my money on everything I bought today image

    Thanks for the lookout stingray image We got 20 in last week so we are good. We also needed them in good shape.

    Actually I copy-pasted the guys list he e-mailed to me. I noticed that typo too but didn't catch it when I posted. Mega Man is my favorite series of games. Lol!

    Coincidentally, if you count the Game Boy games, I think Mega Man X actually was the tenth Mega Man game to be released image
  • Woah, RPG goodness... IF only I had more cash I would offer something for some stuff
  • Man, that's a great score! Not only did you get some awesome SNES RPG's, but you also picked up a pair of my absolute favorite SNES controllers - Asciiware! Not only are they solid-ass controllers, but you also get the colorful buttons, just like Super Fami controllers!
  • Thanks man...I have quite a few Ascii controllers actually. I always thought they were worthless.
  • Stay tuned for awesome PS1/2 haul today. Taking pics as we speak! RPG goodness!
  • Here is my awesome PS1 find from Craigslist today. When I got there I asked if he had any other stuff and ended up picking out 6 decent PS2 games. Sorry for the slightly blurry pics. The big problem with this stuff is that the jewel cases for the 2 and 3 disc games are almost all cracked (even though the discs/manuals/inserts are near mint). If anyone has any replacement PS1 jewel cases I would pay a decent price.

    Price paid for this entire lot: $65
    Resale value after fees and shipping: ~300ish

    Looks like this NES had some TLC from the service center:

    image

    I opened a blank DVD case and found 3 loose GameCube discs, it was a pleasant surprise to see Mario Kart Double Dash, Zelda: WindWaker, and Smash Bros. Melee!

    image

    It doesn't look like this Nintendo was ever used or even taken out of the plastic. It all still has all the inserts/manuals and that "1980's brand new plastic"' smell!
