Title: Hi Guys!
Post by: EvilAsh on May 29, 2013, 04:19:44 AM
Hi all.  I'm new here and this being my first post of many.  I had to clean out my basement about a week ago due to some work being done and I found my old NES & SNES with a suitcase full of games.  The first thing I did was cleaned all the carts and ordered a new 72 pin connector.  Well all the carts are cleaned and the new connector is in place so I hit the flea markets to find some games that I wanted to add to my collection.  I found some decent ones:

Dr. mario
Knight Rider
Goonies 2
Legendary Wings (love this one)
The Terminator (SNES)

So I added these and did some searches for yard sales in my area.  I came across a pic with some amazing games (in box with manual) and a toaster NES.  With the pic provided I called the seller and he offered me this collection for $100.  I thought this was a decent deal because I would like a NES in another room and the games were with box.  Then I see the deals you guys are getting and this doesn't seem that good to me.  Can I get some advice before I fork over $100 for this collection?

Thanks! 

Don't mind the date.  I think the seller must have just put new batteries in his cam and this is the stock date.

Yeah that's a pretty sweet deal.  I'd go for it.  They all look to be in great shape.

OK, thanks so much for the help.  Glad I joined the forum since I'm pretty much only a week into looking for some games.

That's a great lot for $100. Definitely go for it! Everything looks to be in good condition, and, like techwizard said, those Zeldas are quite pricey.

Figures that the listing is gone today and the guy isn't answering the phone.

That's awesome! Glad to hear you were able to snag the lot. Post the pics in the Small Scores thread so everyone can share in your haul.

Well, I just got back from picking up the package. Came with everything pictured except the Mario Bros 2 (he gave it to someone). The boxes were kept in great shape as we'll as the games and NES.  I'll post pics in the smal finds later.

At a local flea market I also picked up Renegade, Bill & Ted, & Monster Party for the NES for $5 bucks each. And for $8 I got Sim City & Spawn for SNES complete in boxes. Good day overall!
