See latest post for new pickup!





1/21/13



I picked these up last week for $150. I actually had my parents pick them up for me (I watch their town's Craigslist) so the pictures you are seeing is what the guy sent me when I asked (I have only seen them via FaceTime). He had other buyers so I pulled the trigger on these pictures and knowledge of the accompanying systems alone. The guy was just wanting to empty out some space in his house. I paid $150 for all of the games and an NES, SNES and Atari 2600 (all working and in good shape). Since the pictures aren't great, some of the games included were NES: Megaman 3, Zelda, Link, Metroid, Castlevania 2, SNES: Mario Kart, Donkey Kong Country, Megaman X, A Link to the Past and for the N64: Mario Kart, Ocarina of Time, Starfox. The best part though, was that once I got a look at each of the grey N64 carts, it turns out one of them was the grey variant of Turok: Rage Wars. All in all I am pretty happy with this find!



Comments

  • You did pretty darn well.. I'd say you have your value back just in the NES carts alone!






  • Definitely a nice score! Some really good titles on each of the consoles. Awesome find!
  • Nice haul! I'm jealous my towns craigslist is always shit...I never see any good deals
  • Nice haul bro!
  • Had another solid find today. For $40 I picked up a box of NES games. Was told there were approximately 30 games, plus a NES and N64. I bought it blind figuring it was worth at least $40. Ended up being a pretty great haul with the best items being near mint carts of Die Hard and North vs. South on NES.



  • Got a list of those Atari games? Unless you are not selling.
  • This is a fairly rough list as I still haven't seen the carts in person (parents are coming up to visit soon and will bring the games).

  • I'd pay 40$ blind for a lot like that any day. Sweet pick up man


  • Cool stuff, I am interested in a few of those, hit me up with a finalized list and photos when you get them!


  • Nice pick ups. The game "Hero" for the Atari 2600 is an uncommon game. Good stuff.
  • So this find took a bit of persistence on my part, but I eventually got all of the below (and some other stuff including a retro duo, Mario 2, and Dr. Mario) for a shade over $300 plus delivery fees. I am very pumped to have all my old RPGs once again.
  • $300 for all that!? Holy shit! Would you by any chance be willing to sell Persona 2? Also what's the PS1 game on the very bottom? I'm gonna kick myself when you tell me. Wanted to say Vagrant Story but that's not it is it?



    Edit: Aha, it's an upside down Vagrant Story isn't it?
  • What I'm more intrigued by more than the amazing RPG's in there is what the hell is wedged between the wall and Super Mario World.

    I will be selling Persona 2, but I'm thinking about playing through it first. I am not really collecting the PS1 RPGs, but wanted to play through most of them before selling. And yes, it is Vagrant Story, my picture was not as clear as I thought!








  • Cool stuff. Keep me in mind when you decide to sell it, I'm going for a complete US retail PS1 set. I should really just put that in my sig as many times as I seem to type it here haha.
  • I cannot read what games because the picture is shitty can you post what games it is?
  • You have Front Mission 3.

    Thats the only RPG you need.

    Final Fantasy 3

    Chrono Trigger

    Link to the Past

  • Killer haul. Vagrant Story so deserved a sequel.
