very nice dan!!! and yep i remember when you got the cart at the show. i passed on it because i already had it. i was glad to know someone who really wanted it got it. i got that guys BB2 for $6.00. i actually already had it cib but i later got to trade the cart for a ntf2 and joystick test carts, so it all worked out. :-)
I looked at that a little later and it seems like it was up for about 10 minutes. My heart skipped a beat when I saw the distinct color of the box. I was in disbelief but I was frantic in trying to get my mouse over the BIN button. I was like "hells yeah I want to confirm!"
Anyways my camera's acting up, won't autofocus today. It's finicky like that. But as promised, here's the rest of what I got. I was trying to be careful, and not tip my hand so I just asked if he had an idea of a price per-cart for the stuff. He did the research though and came up with realistic (but affordable) prices on most of them. However he has a dirty system, and 17 of them didn't load (he just said they were broken) so long story short, I said I'd take the lot of them for $5 and try my chances. Also because of his hard work and good prices I took a bunch of his other stuff that I didn't really need. Also so as not to tip him off But the "damaged" games are where the real steals are. The invoice:
Working Games: - $39.00 Total
The Terminator (box, black sleeve, & instruction sheet) - $3.99
Ferrari Grand Prix Challenge (box, black sleeve, & instruction sheet) - $3.99
Castlevania III Dracula's Curse - $3.99
Gunsmoke - $3.99
Contra - $7.99
Dodge Ball - $7.99
Hollywood Squares (instruction sheet) - $0.99
Star Tropics (box, black sleeve, & instruction manual) - $3.99
Soccer (no black sleeve) - $0.99
Back To The Future II & III - $0.99
Damaged Games - $5.00 Total
Blaster Master (black sleeve)
Bonk's Adventure (box & black sleeve)
City Connection (Funcoland sleeve)
Darkman (Funcoland sleeve)
Disney Adventures In The Magic Kingdom (box, instruction sheet, no sleeve)
Donkey Kong Classics (Funcoland sleeve)
Eliminator Boat Dual (box, black sleeve, & instruction sheet)
So Zombie Nation, Trolls on Treasure Island and boxed Bonk for $0.29 apiece. Among the others. And yes, they cleaned up just fine.
By the way this guy really went above and beyond the call of duty, his shipping on the F2 was superb so that it came in the pictured condition, and he's been great about keeping constant contact. I threw in some extra $ on top of shipping with this second deal as a "tip" hehe of course I still made out but I figured, why not give back.
Crazy find Dan. One of the best I have seen in a long long time. Congrats big time. Bonk's alone was worth the cost of the whole lot plus some.
I also go my BB2 today and I will send you some pics in just a few mintues. I will take that Ferrari Grand Prix manual off you as well if you don't want it PM firing your way in a moment.
Yeah, I'd take box and cart. I think Dain still needs the box, so next time a CIB comes up, maybe we could split it to help each other (hint hint Dain). And any of those instruction sheets that you need manuals for, just shoot me a list...I might have a few dupes I could send your way
