Sometimes I just get lucky

Had a couple things arrive in the mail today:

Wireless Remote control, snagged it for 15$ shipped off eBay, looks brand new.

Boxed Aklaim Double player set of controllers from a NA member, very happy with that purchase, looks great.

...... just found out 2 more packages are waiting for me at home



Wii Zapper with Zelda Cross Bow training is Brand new, never used. Too bad I don't have a wii.



Adding number 8 to my collection. Got this puppy for 55$.

I buy every top loader from this local game store when they get them in (3 now), but how can you blame me for that price. Mega Man 3 and Wrecking crew were another 12$. Freedom Connection controller thing was 3$, but when I got it home and finally went to try it, someone didn't take the batteries out :/ corroded completely trough metal plates.

  • Yea, I was lucky enough to get my toploader from the same store, now I know who has been swiping all the top loaders at Super Mega Replay

    No way! haha, sorry about that.

    Are you right around Fort Wayne?






  • $55 for a top loader is a great price, especially from a retail shop. The local retro store sells normal NES' for $90.
  • Just picked up a NIB Wii U w/ Nintendoland and an extra Wii-mote for 200$

    Really don't want it, but thought it was a pretty good deal

  • dam so where did you get the wii u for that much???
  • Snagged it off Craigslist. The guy pre-ordered 16 of them and was selling them off for a profit.

    Had one left and just wanted to dump it, so he put it on there for 225, got him down to 200$ and brought it home
  • Crazy deal. You should pick up NSMBU, controls just like SMB3. It's really fun.

    Oh true. forgot there were a couple other Mega Replay stores around Indiana. Ours here never has NES consoles in. Probably because they sell them so cheap, people just snatch them up. 


  • I'm surprised he sold any for a profit. The market was flooded with these things the whole time.

    Yea, they were all over Kijiji in my local area, at least four people had ads for BRAND NEW WII U BLACK DELUXE BUNDLE!!! I don't know if any sold, or they just took them back to the stores before it was too late. I got a second one to try to make some profit off of to buy some Wii U games, but no bites, so I just took it back.

    Beats me. I know there were quite a few on our local CL for quite a bit over retail, but apparently he sold some. Idk if it was eBay or CL, but i'm not going to argue. I've been playing the shit out of this thing. Was definitely worth the 200$




  • Man I want a WiiU Nice pickup man!
  • omg even thos I never buy new consoles, but for that price I would def buy it to play with my wife, nice pick up man!
  • Well, just got a deal on one myself. Looks like I'll get to check this thing out too!
