So I went ahead and bought these. Here's some pics I took. Seem like the member who bought it has since been banned. I'll be keeping Spy Vs Spy, but let me know if you are interested in SP2.
How much are these worth? I'm not that interested in super pitfall, but I'll probably pick up spy vs spy.
These are probably Blowback's
Blowback isn't in Saskatchewan
Anyway, there's a shop in Edmonton that sells them too. Collectors aren't the only ones that buy straight from the source. Saw some NWC repros on the shelf for about $30 more than Bunnyboy charges...when I mentioned RetroUSB he said that it's where he bought them. Can't fault a store owner from buying something and trying to turn a profit on, especially considering some people may not have access to buy them directly.
I can't find the thread, but some Canadian member found a Tower of Radia cart (among other repros) at a local gamestore. And Tower of Radia was a numbered release with the NA logo on the label!
Yea, I'm guessing I probably bought his copy of Spy Vs Spy II as well. Probably got spy vs spy cheaper than it would have been. Paid $60, basically saved on the shipping. It's in minty shape too.
He said somebody traded it in with a couple of other mint games, so I don't think he owned it. The owner actually was a big NES collector and decided to open a game store since he had enough inventory to get started. He has sealed Cheetamen, CIB Flintstones 2, and a few other rare games that I can't recall. He may actually visit these forums for all I know.
Lmao, I bet he didn't get anywhere near his $186 back . I'm guessing you could still get probably around $100 for the #3 Super Pitfall II? I mean, the craze has settled down on this title a bit, but people still like to pick up these limited releases coinheaven does, and I'm sure there are plenty of people willing to put out at least that much.
If I were you, I'd put it up in the NA Auction site with your purchase price as the starting bid. Then just let it ride .
Keep an eye out for a MINTY Panic Restaurant CIB and a MINTY Fire N' Ice CIB. Perfect bought my Panic and Parpunk's Fire N Ice and god only knows what else. If he's getting out of collecting, your local shop might get some gems in the near future.

That was me haha. They had like 15 repos on the shelf but it wasnt anywhere near payday and I only could shell out the cash for 3 so I bought Mario bros lost levels, Holy Diver, Tower of radia.
Is your Tower of Radia hand numbered? There was a vendor at the MGC that makes their own repos (one of the game stores in Green Bay, WI -- can't remember which), and I'm pretty sure they have their own version of Tower of Radia. I almost bought a Zelda: Outlands repo from them, but they had too much good stuff that I ran out of money :-)

So I bought them. Might have overpaid a bit for Super Pitfall, but I missed both releases so now I have #3 of 5 Super Pitfalls.
Does anyone know what a Gold super Pitfall would go for?

Wow, why would you not at least put that on eBay, trading it in to a local game store makes no sense... sheesh
Cuz he owns the store?
