I received this in the mail today, for some reason it is harder to find 6 button Arcade Power Sticks than the 3 button but this one is even more special, not only because it's boxed but it is brand new, the contents has all the paper work and Joystick all still sealed in original packaging. Pretty happy with this, it will now sit alongside my boxed three button arcade stick
Do you plan on opening it and using it or just as a display piece? Either way that's a great find, I guess you don't really need to open it now you have THE TANK!

I will just have it as a display piece, I think it's pretty cool to find it still new so will keep it that way! Also, it's nothing compared to THE TANK!
The guy at the local flea market had a half off sale on all of his games since he is going out of the business. He cut me a little bit more of a discount. I grabbed this lot for $25.00. The saturn games were 2.50 a piece. I also picked up my first Master System game.
.99 cents CIB: Joe Montana Football (SMS), Walter Payton Football (SMS), Slap Shot (SMS),Hang On/Safari Hunt (SMS), and waiting on 2 others to end to see what happens.
Also grabbed Blade Eagle 3d CIB for like 13.
Also got another lot of 5 CIB games for 15. I already have 4 of them but the cases are mint so I can swap out tabbed boxes for some non tabbed ones I have and then trade/sell them on.
CIB Phantasy star (SMS), in box phaser, a phaser manual.
I really need to stop...but I keep selling stuff so I end up with paypal money to burn.
Few others on the way...Mostly duplicates but they were so cheap I couldn't pass them up in order to clean up boxes and some label art.
I've never really had a chance to brag, but back in January, i went to a popular con called MAGFest in Maryland. Now, there was a few vendors, but they knew most of the values of their games. Now, at this point, i had researched all the 32x, and knew the price of pretty much every game.
These guys had Ebay prices, so looking, i assumed it wasn't worth asking about stuff. However, i saw Pitfall for the 32X, which i knew was weirdly going for around 100 bucks at the time, and i also saw Zaxxon, which is around 40. So, i ask the guy the price on the two of them. 10 bucks a piece. I had to stop from grinning ear to ear, and it has, to date, been my only true amazing find.

This is the time to buy man! Market is a little soft as summer is in it's last push. You won't find these deals as easy come winter so get it while it's hot!

I was at Magfest as well. Were those 32x games from that vendor guy liquidating his remaining game store stock?
No, if you can believe it, it was the big store, who was to your left right as you enter, to seem to be selling stuff at Ebay prices. I don't know their name, but they actually had glass cases for their high end stuff, and things like that.
Checking some thrift stores on the way home from work, I came across a Dreamcast with AV cables in the backroom for $4. Even better it had Soul Caliber still loaded in the console. The unit is pretty dirty with the power button fused in the ON position, so I wanted to check it on a TV there before I bought it. I brought it over to the store's big bin of random cables and began digging, hoping the power cord wound up in there. Not only did I find it, I also found a SMS RF switchbox. This was the one piece that was missing from the SMS console box set I found at that same thrift store a month ago. With those cables, the final price was $5.
I won this very nice Genesis lot off eBay a few days ago for $109.40 at auction. I won the lot by the skin of my teeth, my max bid was $110 and another sniper was about $3-4 shy of outbidding me when the buzzer sounded.
The box just arrived and the CIB games are mostly in fantastic shape. The prior owner left the manuals, posters, warrenty cards, etc untouched and in minty shape. Half this lot is going to be upgrades to what I currently have in my collection, so I figure I shouldn't have much trouble recouping what I spent selling off my lesser condition dupicates.
I found a Game Gear for $1 at the flea market last Thursday. There were some slightly corroded batteries in the battery compartment and the 2 button stuck a little, but it's pretty much impossible to say no to a one dollar Game Gear which has the battery covers. After cleaning it up, it actually works pretty well. The 2 button is a bit finicky, but it works.
I haven't been buying any games recently because i'm broke and don't have room for a huge collection anymore, but I do still want a few of my favs to play whenever I get the urge so I bid on this lot once not thinking much of it and not expecting to win because I wasn't going to bid again on account of the pricey shipping but low and behold i got phantasy star 2 & 3, Sword of vermillion, and alex kidd for $6.12 + $12(!) shipping. Still a good deal even with the shipping, imo.

You say it's complete but it kind of looks sealed, is it a sealed copy? Either way nice score, especially if it is yor favorite game.

RE6 doesn't have the best reviews, but I think all of the others range from 8.5-10 on IGN.

Speaking of cons, I attended Dragon*Con last weekend. I stopped by the Troma booth and got this signed by Lloyd Kaufman.
