My 1st Find :)

I wanted to start a NES collection for sometime now. I have been collecting some things here and there but I finally started my game collection. I went to the local goodwill in my city and found some ok deals. 

1. Star Tropics     CIB 5/10    2.00
2. Videomation    CIB 9/10    2.00
3. Pro Wrestling   Loose       .50
4. Viper                  Loose       .50
5. Ice Hockey        Loose       .50
6. Sky Shark          Loose       .50
7. WCW Wrestling  Loose     .50

This is my first adventure so I was excited about finding them

Did I do ok??? What you guys think?

EDIT!! Just hit up craigslist and found a great deal I think so anyway! The guy was right down the street from me! 

1. Zelda A Link to the Past  Loose (Original)
2. Demon Crest   Loose
3. Star Fox         Loose 
4. Street Fighter 2  Loose 
5. Final Fight 3    Loose
6. Out of this world  Loose 
7. Cool Spot   Loose

All for 26 wanted 30 !!!!!

I didnt plan on the SNES anytime soon but I thought that was a great deal!!!  

Comments

  • Any NES game for a $1 or less is a good deal in my book, and any CIB for under $5 is also good way to go. Nice pick-ups.

  • Way to go man, nice feeling isn't it?
  • congrats, you never forget your first



  • Awesome finds. 50 cent games are always worth it!
  • Careful, it's addicting.

    What he said...a little tip to keep things fresh, even if end up wanting a lot set up small goals like maybe working on the black box games, than maybe konami stuff, or chip away at a tengen set.  keeps it mixed up so you dont get burnt out...fun.



  • a cib for $2.00 seems fair. nice finds
  • Thanks for the comments guys. I been thinking about for sometime now and finally made the jump. I kinda wanna stick to the loose for now. It seems like the CIB is a whole other beast.

    I wanna start slow like you guys said. I only want a couple sealed games, so those will be last. I thought about licensed only but its hard to pass up cheap games.
  • Way to *POP* that cherry! I think it's time for beer, and a loooooong talk! Good pickups, and good luck for the future ones, brutha!

    Edit* I moved to the beach from Evansville! Man I miss that place!!

    Same.  I pick up unlicensed as I find them for cheap.  But I don't go out looking for them like I might others. 


  • It a start. Good luck on your journey.

    Hey..... at least ya have resellers! The flea markets where I live now are crap, 1 reseller, a he's a douche. I 'm in love with this site, because all I can find here are grits, gravy, BBQ, and way too many people who speak primarily in double negatives!

  • Any NES games less than $3 is a win any day of the week

    There ain't nothing wrong with no grits, gravy and BBQ...seriously. That covers all 3 of the food groups in the south so you should be covered.      Anyway, congrats on your find and good luck on many more!

    Well yea book broker isnt to bad. They sale all there games for 5.00 no matter what. So if its rare like Flintstones Surprise at Dino Peak its 5.00.

    But something common Phantom Fighter is 5.00 also. So its a toss up really. Im mainly talking about like Mc vans Video Games and BME. They are insane. They want like ebay prices for all games. Its just a waste of time. So i stick to Flea markets and Garage sales.
  • Congrats! Welcome to your newest addiction!

  • If you arnt going to collect SNES, you could get near $100 for all those games and the console, if its all nice.

    Demon's crest alone should pay for all the snes stuff you got.

    nice finds!

    Thats what I was thinking. I had that game when I was younger. I didnt know it was uncommon these days.  I love finding deals but in this town you can only find so many. Then I gotta use ebay sucks!
