Two insane finds.....

Late one night before bedtime, someone posted a auction.... (pic as attachment)...

I got a freakin' complete (or maybe just CB, don't know yet) Mr.Gimmick, a NES, snake rattle and roll and SMB for 91.59 USD (560 NOK). I dare to post this, because it's in transit hehehe ^^ (well packaged according to seller also)...

But this is just crazy:

My dad found on a norwegian site some dude in my hometown that sold two nintendos with 17 games that was cart only (except for Faxanadu that was CIB) for 327 USD (2000 NOK). Yes, It's much, but guess what, I saw another Mr.Gimmick cart in the pile (that turned out to be scratchless btw..)... So I called him. Here is the interesting part;

He also had a 6 in 1 (!!!!!!), and some other pirates (a supervision etc), F15 city war (that turned out to be the boring american release, wtf?). It wasn't possible to bargain, so I took the deal. He delivered it to my dad. My dad described the 6 in 1 over the phone, and guess what;

IT WAS THE AMERICAN CALTRON, NOT THE EUROPEAN HYPER BOY VERSION...WHAT...THEEE... F*********!?

So yeah, im pretty satisfied! Strange, getting a american caltron in Norway...but someone needs to be the first I guess ^^

    When you get that caltron check and see if it has the casette back or the black back. It might be the kind that comes out of spain which might make some sense.

    No need to crap on this amazing finds thread, guys. Keep it cool image



    Great finds bro, nothing beats that feeling of joy that you get when you've gotten some rare for a good price, not to mention getting 2 Gimmicks and a Caltron image

    I love the Mr. Gimmick soundtrack. You should sit between two televisions and blast those beats in stereo.

    Thanks everyone... My second best moment(err..let's call it week) in collecting image

    Tough to see the condition of the Gimmick in the picture, but it appears to be in VERY nice shape. Fantastic scores man, very few people will ever see one, let alone two Gimmicks in their collecting lives.



    Congrats!

  • TaiTai
    zomg image my best find was a tengen tetris... for 7$ lol or my Black silent assault i wanna have a good find like this.
  • TanookiTanooki
    Wow if I could get a Tengen Tetris for like $20 shipped I'd be all over it, $7 I'd try not to explode laughing handing over the cash to whoever it was. image I had it ages ago, rare case of cart breakage. I'm not HUGE into Tetris like I was back in 1989-early/mid 2000s as I got burnt on it because it would still be tops on my list of have to get backs.
