RF Generation Message Board

The purpose of this thread is for users to make a list of titles that they are looking for so that other RFGenners can keep an eye out for these titles when they are out hunting for games. 

I know the idea seems similar to a WTB thread, but I have found that when I go hunting, I'm always thinking to myself...Does my buddy need that game?  I think that he/she does, but let me txt him/her, check their WTB, etc. I feel like this is a cleaner way to help some friends grab those elusive titles.

The purpose of this thread is to help other collectors out and not to re-sell for profit.  If you find a semi rare game for a decent price, try to pass the savings along to the person who needs it (with a small commission for your trouble).  The idea is that, hopefully, the good karma will come back to you.  It never hurts to donate your profits to:

RFGeneration http://www.rfgeneration.com/forum/index.php?action=paypal

or to the

Collectorcast http://rfgenerationcollectorcast.podomatic.com/

Step 1
Make a list of games that you are always on the lookout for but can never seem to find.  Try to keep at least 10 games on your list but don't go super crazy.

Please do not copy and paste a list of the 671 NES carts you need to complete your collection ;)

If you end up getting an item or items as a result of this thread, put a strike though what you got and list the user who hooked you up.  Like this:

I know there are 4-5 Black Box games locally as well. I've seen Balloon Fight, Baseball, Clu Clu Land, Ice Climber, Slalom, and Wrecking Crew for sure.

Problem is, I've not been able to go out and hunt lately, so I don't know if they're still out at those shops or not, nor do I remember exact condition. :(

Take that suckers!

You, sir, I've got covered. Bandit Kings, Gemfire and Genghis Khan were all at the flea market. Haven't looked through the rest of the list, though.

Duke, I just saw a Solitaire locally for $20 I think. Loose.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner. If it is in good shape snag it for me please!

Hit me up on Google Talk or G+ and I'll see if I can give you a live shot of it.

I just got home and I'm Google + ignorant. I'm on it now, or you can hit me up on Skype at the.duke.togo

singlebanana, I have D&D: Pool of Radiance and Genghis Khan at least. I'll do some more checking or you can check my list out.

 

Definitely interested in those and see that you also have a copy of BB2: Rainbow Islands (if you are willing to part with it).  Send me a PM and let me know what you are thinking in terms of price.  Thanks!

Thanks to FibroFreak and WildBil, I'm two closer. Thanks for the help everyone!

Can someone look for a Wham-Shell Skylander? We can't seem to get them around here yet and it's really the last one that my son is missing at this point.

Sure thing, I'll check my local stores and a few inside sources.

I sat at Target for a couple hours yesterday. If anyone needs any of these packs, LMK:
Sonic Boom
Wrecking Ball
Drobot
Chop-Chop
Bash
Hex
Dino-Rang
Whirlwind
Double Trouble
Drill Sergeant

Pirate Adventure Pack
Empire of Ice
Dragon's Peak

Triple Pack - Camo, Ignitor, Warnado

Were you sitting at Target waiting for a Skylanders delivery? I used to be excited for when I have kids so I could play with Legos again.  Now I'm excited to have kids to play Skylanders.

I was waiting for my wife to go through some clothes, and I'm somewhat OCD when it comes to organization, so I got bored and sorted all the figurines while I was there. I've got a decent memory, and knew people were looking for figurines, so I made a mental note of what was there.

Old retail habit of mine.  I straighten up when I'm shopping too ;)  Good lookin out!

My wife just bought it for my son and me. We've been playing it a little bit at a time at a local gaming place, but its soooo much nicer to have it at home. We've only got 6 of the characters right now so it'll be fun trying to grab some new guys for it.

Although I've completed my own set, I'll be on the lookout for ya.

I always seem to visit a couple big-box retailers a day just for the hell of it, so it's no big task for me.

And Wham-Shell is a pretty neat-looking fellow...

I went into a Target yesterday and they seemed to have all them Skylander things haha

Wow!  And I thought I was the only one...

I'll do that from time to time as well-- especially if I'm in a store right after I get off work.

I need Altered Beast and Space Harrier II to complete my Genesis Launch Titles set!

Old habit from working at Target, stocking shelves overnight for 2+ years. I hate when things look disorganized.


If you REALLY want, I own both...though Space Harrier II is Mega Drive.

Sorry for being so slow Shadow.  If these titles are still available, PM me some prices. :)

I'll take a look next time I'm there, but Bandit Kings was $25 sticker price. I'm sure I could work that down, as I've gotten him down to $20 for a $45 sticker price game.

I can't do that. If I let that Space Harrier into my house my OCD would then compel me to collect the Mega Drive release set too!

Thanks Shadow.  Just let me know.

grey zelda cart? Anyone?  Love to complete that one.  I have an empty box with manual and map just sitting there :(

Yeah, I have one.   NES cart right?

Yeah, the grey NES Zelda cart.  PM sent.

I have one as well, if you don't pick it up banana.

I need to get the rest of my collection in order and start getting the rest of my collection boxed - I own close to 400 NES titles, but only 30 or so boxed, most of which were former rentals. I know you guys have quite a few CIB or B replacements out there, so I'll see what I can do.

I wish I lived close to you all, you sound like good people, and help each other out with collecting.

I am wondering if you know of any guys out west, near Seattle, would love to meet others in my community who have a similar type of community.

Not trying to sound like a sad sack, just a bit jealous  :)

I don't live within 300 miles of anyone I've traded with on this site (except for Fibro and Izret).  I don't mind shipping ;)

Yeah, this site is worldwide.  If you're looking for anything in particular, post it.  Everyone I've met here is happy to ship.  And don't get too close to people in your area, it just means you'll know your competition. Ha!

I'm about 4 hours south of Seattle. Not super close but one of my best friends lives up there so I go see him from time to time. And there is a retro game show in Portland in September, I'll be there, will you?

Thanks guys

@singlebanana, yeah I know what you mean by competition, I can pick them out when I am roaming around goodwill for stuff. Hopefully I can meet some good people who know something about collecting in my area that I don't know, and maybe they would be willing to divulge that info,  :)

@nupoile, I have heard about that one, I might go, but I am going into my Masters program at college around that time, so we will see.
would love to make it there and connect with some of fellow collectors and gamers, and maybe I can make it to PAX as well  (i have never been to it).

I'll be there!  Did you go to the SRGE last month?

No, but I was at the Gamers for Kids show in Longview in April, were you at that one?

We'll have to say "hi" to each other at the Portland show.

Rich,
Picked up Lethal Weapon, Conan and World Champ for you. PM me your address to make sure I have the new one this time. ;)

EDIT: Picture time:
(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-6TBaTjkiGzw/UBRSKTh4U2I/AAAAAAAAAkE/ARWp0V0pKcQ/s640/WP_000443.jpg)

There's a sticker on the front label of World Champ, but my wife determined that it could be removed without damaging the label. There's also some sticker residue on Lethal Weapon's label that'll come off, and a sticker on the back that can be removed. Overall, it was $20 + tax for the 3.

Also, Crabmaster, list what you want! I checked for everyone else. The copy of Laser Invasion was sold since I was there last, so Bil lost out on that one.

Thanks Shadow, send me a total when you get a chance.  Much appreciated.

Major thanks to Bickman for helping me get 3 games closer! That puts me under the 20 mark to go!

That "This Game Pak Belongs to" sticker is awesome.

Yeah, that may have to stay. Ha!

Not exactly a game, but...

I've mentioned this before Bil, but I have a couple CIB black box games. I've yet to see what shape they're in, though, and my room just had everything shoved back into it after my roommates picked up the new dog. :(

I'd be happy to send them to you, since you've been holding onto that Game Gear for me.

Always appreciate any help with Black Boxes! Just let me know when to unleash the Game Gear!

Just to let you know, I checked what I have for Black Box games.

Baseball
Duck Hunt
Wrecking Crew

Baseball and Wrecking Crew are in excellent condition. I've mentioned my Duck Hunt previously, which has part of the label on the box back ripped off.
I'd actually be somewhat hesitant to give up my Baseball and Wrecking Crew, since they're in such good condition, but I wouldn't mind selling them to a fellow forum member. ;D

Several games knocked off my list.  Free bump.

Nope, i didn't seriously start collecting until May. 

But yeah we'll have to crack wise for a minute at the Portland show. 

I may finally be able to help contribute!!! Was hanging out with my new local collector buddy yesterday and he pulled out all his doubles boxes for me to take a gander at. He has got hundreds of doubles across a few different systems and he wants to sell them off. So anyone in need of NES, Gen, SNES, SMS, Intellivision, PS, PS2, etc please PM me your lists and I'll check them against his collection. He doesnt have any rare doubles, but he has a ton of common games. Im sure I can get a decent bulk discount off him if I can pickup enough stuff too so the more people that send me lists the better. He also has quite a few systems and accessories as extras too so definitely ask about ANYTHING you might need and I'll check with him.

Make sure to add extra info in the PM about how much you'd like to spend and what you look for in condition or anything else that might be important to you. If I've dealt with you in the past I'll be more than happy to front the cash to him for anything you're interested in and you guys can pay me back when I'm ready to ship.

Trying to find the discs/carts only for the following:

Gamecube:
Mario Kart Double Dash!! (game & bonus disc)
Mario Party 6
Mario Party 7
Super Smash Bros. Melee

DS:
Megaman ZX

I am looking for anything on my wishlist (http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/collection.pl?name=InvadErGII&folder=Wishlist), with a particular emphasis on these games:

Dreamcast
Chu Chu Rocket

NES
Baseball Stars II
Bases Loaded 4
Clu Clu Land
Color A Dinosaur
Die Hard - Thanks, cverz2!!
Dusty Diamond's All Star Softball
Nightshade Thanks, singlebanana!
Ren & Stimpy: Buckeroos
Spider-Man: Revenge of the Sinister Six (I see this now and then but NEVER in even remotely good condition)
Star Trek TNG
TMNT III (Same problem as Spider-Man, plus when I do see it it's absurdly expensive)
Tombs & Treasure - Thanks, izret!

N64
Mortal Kombat 4
Pokemon Snap

SNES
Mega Man Soccer
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Fighting Edition

GBA
Jazz Jackrabbit
Metroid Fusion
Metroid Zero Mission

VB
Virtual Boy stand (I don't believe these were sold separately, but I hate the idea of buying another VB just for the stand)

Just looking for carts or you need boxes/manuals too?

I see Nightshade every so often. I'll take a look next time I am out.

...I know where I can pick up a copy of Nightshade, but haven't been out there in a while. Not sure about MMPR Fighting Edition.

Cart only is fine by me. Duke/Shadow - let me know if you do come across one.

Just wanted to bump this thread. I'm on page 1 (getting very close to complete US NES) if you want to help, or post your wants here too.

There is a Nightshade at my local game store.  They want $11 for it.  Seems you can get one a bit cheaper in eBay, but if you want me to grab it, I am happy to do so.

Does it seem like it's in good shape? I'd rather get it from someone here than on eBay, so if there aren't any big issues with it I'm down for that.

I'll have them pull it out of the case and check it out.  If it's in very nice condition, no label tears, etc., I'll go ahead and pick it up for you.

Remind me to take detailed pictures next time I go out to the flea market. The vendor there has 300+ different NES carts, some of which I never noticed until yesterday.

New things I noticed were Ghoul School, The Last Starfighter, and Monster Truck Rally, among others.

Also, Duke, if you REALLY want a copy of Sunday Funday, I own a mint CIB copy of it. However, I paid a decent price to get it together CIB (since I originally just owned the cart), so I think that you'll have better luck getting a cheaper copy of it. Heck, I'll probably have a better chance finding a cheap cart copy than getting back what I paid for it.  :-\

There is a Nightshade CIB for 20 on Craigslist in St. Louis.

Yeah, I think I'll just look for a loose one. There are enough games on my list that cost a fortune :(

FWIW, I've seen all but 3 of the unlicensed games locally. I just haven't seen the ones you're looking for in a while. :(

No worries. I am pretty patient, so I'll get there eventually. I appreciate all the help!

cleaned up list -- see page 1

I'm looking for a boxed After Burner or Night Trap for 32x

Chrono Cross!!!!!  I've got the itch like mad

When will this 32x madness ever end?

Finally have an item on my WTB list. I updated my post on page 1 with it.

When I complete my 32X collection. I'm still on the lookout for a CIB Pitfall w/ poster, replacement boxes for Doom and Chaotix (or just replacement copies), and the rest of the collection I'm missing...

Finally got my long-elusive copy of Nightshade thanks to singlebanana! Thank you so much!

I updated my list, which is on Page 5, with a few more things if anyone wants to be as awesome as singlebanana.

I can be an awesome person and send you Clu Clu Land...

Glad to hear you got it.  Enjoy. :)

So I've been eyeballing this topic for a while now and have been looking for you guys but nothing yet.

Here is some that I can think of, off the top of my head.

The Wizard of Oz  - SNES - Loose or CIB
The Legend of Zelda - NES Map
Beetlejuice - NES cart
Ghengis Khan - NES cart
Crystal Mines - NES cart
Legends of the Diamond - NES cart
Duck Tales NES - Manual
Chiller NES - Manual
Robin Hood - Colecovision
Buck Rodgers - Colecovision





  

Added an Arcadia Starpath Supercharger and any games to my hunting list.

I'm 6 games away from 400 Atari 2600 titles.  Would like to get over this hump.  Let me know if you have any of these titles at a reasonable price: http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/collection.pl?name=necrom99&action=editpage&results=&findimages=&folder=Wishlist&console=|005|&type=

List updated.  Is it possible to get a sticky for this thread?

It looks like Spiderman Web of Fire is settling down a bit.  a few recently completed for around $200. 

Bump, I'm on pg 1.

Ah yes, I remember when I traded to get my first CIB 32X game and decided to pursue every other one I can get my hands on. 4 CIBs later and now I just want to actually find a 32X.

If you are looking for a 32X, I may be able to get one.  Let me know.

I have several 32X that I'll be selling. Just need to hook them up and test them.

Hey I'm looking for

Cheap kids gamcube games
Gamecube av cord Thanks GrayGhost81
loose copy of mario kart 7
Loose copy of phantasy star universe for xbox 360 got new copy
D&D: Pool of Radiance
Skylander Figures
Box and Manual for Breath of Fire IV
Final Fantasy for nes (cib)
Loose Copy of Just dance 2 for the wii
Loose copy of Wii sports resort
Loose Copy of Lego Indiana Jones for DS

Which system for PSU?

Updated my list a bit (which is on Page 5).

Another idea for the OP - links to specific posts with people's lists. This thread's only going to get bigger, so lists (especially ones not on the first page) are going to become harder to find.

I've been thinking of that.

Bil,
If you can't edit it up, or don't have time to, I can toss it together for you.

That's a good idea, InvadEr.  I'll give it a try, Shadow, and then you can fix it like you always do when I mess something up ;)

@Shadow
Childboard similar to the user feedback?

I want to see how well the links step goes. If we have more interest, I can setup the childboard system like our feedback forum.

User links added to pg 1

updated with NES manuals I need (pg 1)

@ shadow the one for 360

32xs or 32x games?

Both.

Im looking for

Little sampson CIB
Snow brothers CIB
Thunder and Lightning CIB
clayfighter 63 1/3 sculpters CIB - if box exists
baby boomer CIB
Dragon Warrior III CIB

Assuming you are okay with "third party junk" the gamecube AV cord is the same as N64 and SNES. You can get these for $1-$3 shipped without issue

Crossed off a few items, thanks to Duke, and added Metal Mech NES cart.

I go to a flea market where the guy has a pretty impressive collection (especially rarities). His prices on bigger items can be hit or miss (i.e., he tossed a $400 price tag on a loose Hagane, even though it's not worth anything close to that, but I've seen a bunch of reasonable prices too). Anyway, I've seen quite a few items from these lists there (the one weak point for that store is that the cardboard isn't always in great shape). If you guys would like me to look into some of these for you, I'd be glad to do so for you. Maybe if I had a price range to work off of, it'd be easier. These are the ones I remember off-hand:

Duke.Togo:

Bubble Bath Babes
Hot Slots
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters

singlebanana:

Jimmy Connors Tennis
Rockin’ Kats
Romance of the Three Kingdoms II
Snow Brothers
TMNT: Tournament Fighters

I'm needing a Super Scope eyepiece. You know, this thing:
(https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3361389/pics/%24%28KGrHqF%2C%21qcF%21b-sFes-BQ%284EEZ4Ew%7E%7E60_35.JPG)

Ebay has a couple, but people are trying to sell them for more than an entire Super Scope is worth

Thanks!

A local shop has a CIB one for $60. I think they are having a 50% off sale so I could get it for $30.

I don't need the entire Super Scope, just the eyepiece part. I've already got a Super Scope itself.

...Unless you mean it was sold separately or something.

if you went that way then you could sell what you do have though, i don't know much about the super scope's market value but $30 CIB sounds like a great deal to me.

@jansolee66: I'd be interested to know the price on Tournament Fighters. I'm sure the other two are out of my price range at the moment.

Who do I gotta kill to get a Deluxe Wii U?  :ninja:

Oh, will you look at the time.

I gotta go play some Nintendo Land that came with... ummmm... some other games.

Catch ya later...

the Toys 'r' Us near me still has at least 11 deluxe sets available

So I'm looking for Pinky and the Brain The Master Plan for Game Boy Advance. I have found NOTHING on it except some basic release info and ROMs...if anyone sees it posted online for sale at any price, please let me know. I'd rather it be complete but since I'm finding so little info on it in the first place I'll take cart only.

So I found one listed on ebay...in the UK...which doesn't help me since I'm in the US...so close

Never released in USA.
You are probably going to have to import it.

OK I NEED me some NES Bubble Bobble part 2

Even trade for your choice of
Panic Restaurant
Power Blade 2
 
cart only for cart only

It was sold, unfortunately.

Douglie007, you have an extra Panic Restaurant? I don't have a BB2 to trade, but if you're looking for another deal keep me in mind.

Yeah I figured if you were interested you could buy the whole thing and sell the rest. It was still there a few days ago and now they are having a Doomsday Sale so most everything in the store is 66.6% off.

I appreciate it, but cverz2 has already found me an eyepiece and is sending it out now. (thanks again!)

No problem.

I've got one more item I need help tracking down. I'm looking for an absolutely flawless CIB copy of Silver Surfer on the NES. No tears, dents, creases, fading, etc. Pictures needed. I'm willing to pay/trade beyond what the typical CIB would sell for.

There's this one on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Silver-Surfer-COMPLETE-BOX-Nintendo-NES-Fast-Shipping-ic-1106a-/360531065297?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item53f15379d1

Not sure if that's clean enough for ya.

Someone going for another record?

On the front top right corner is a crease and the flaps all have a lot of wear. Not good enough :P


I'd be looking for a sealed one if that was the case ;)

So it's almost the new year and I'm sitting at 399 Atari 2600 games and 696 NES games.  Really looking to hit those 400/700 marks respectively before year's end.  Help a brother out!  Thanks. :)

Oh I think you'll be REAL Close around Christmas.  Just a hunch..

Hmmmm.....how ironic.

crossed off Metroid GBA, Thanks Johnny Nintendo! (pics in small scores when I get home from work).

Added Tetris Attack box manual.  I have the cart and I'd like to complete it.  I've always loved Tetris Attack.

Tetris Attack is a great game. I suck at it, but my wife absolutely slays it. It's incredible to watch her play  :inlove:

I was surprised to find out that there is a Tetris Attack tournament at PAX East every year.  I played it endlessly with an old girlfriend so I got lots of practice.  Not sure if I could place in a tournament but maybe I'll give it a try just for fun this year.

No problem Wildbil, I guess I need to get around to posting a list on here.

This thread was a little experiment that has actually worked out pretty well so far.  This is the thread that I check before I go hunting and once in a while, you help somebody out.  When you post a list I'll get you linked on the front page.  Same goes for anyone else who has added a list, I'll get you linked on the front tonight.

@wildbil52: I'll be able to look for you in a couple weeks. I'm currently banned from buying any games until after Christmas. I have seen some loose carts for around $6 locally.

I'm banned as well.  We call it my December Black Out period.  I need to give everyone a chance to buy things for my birthday and Christmas.

And I thought I was the only one who got banned. lol  Kinda got in trouble a couple Christmas's ago for buying stuff that my wife had already planned on getting me. :D

Okay, here is my list, mainly looking for IB to go with my loose carts, but there are a few other things.  Also, if possible boxes need to be in good condition (no tears, stickers, etc.) I only have about 75 CIB games, so I need many more than what is on this list.


TOP PRIORITY:
Any Konami silver box games CIB (Except Goonies II, Track & Field, Gradius, Bayou Billy, The Lone Ranger,   and King's Quest V)
Mega Man 1 CIB
Mega Man 2 Instruction manual
Mega Man 4 CIB or IB (I already have the cart)
Mega Man 6 Instruction manual

Super Mario Bros 2 CIB
Super Mario Bros 3 CIB
Tengen Tetris CIB
Fire N Ice CIB
The Jetsons: Cogswells Caper IB
Friday the 13th IB or CIB
Godzilla manual
Iron Tank manual
VICE Project Doom cart only
Castlevania III cart only
(There are a few other manuals I need too, my collection list is up to date)

Any black box games CIB or IB, except Super Mario Bros.
SNES Super Advantage CIB
Older issues of Nintendo Power (mostly issues 2-20)
Mario Paint Official Player's Guide
Legend of Zelda A Link to the Past Official Player's Guide
Super Mario RPG Official Player's Guide

I know there are lots more I need, but if anyone finds just boxes, manuals, etc. for a good price, let me know.  Thanks!

Great idea, i am down and Johnny i may have a SMB2 box for ya....stay tuned.

As for me:

all must be CIB as well

Soulstar Sega CD
Lord of Thunder Sega CD
Robo Aleste Sega CD
Shining Forc CD
Shining Force Series Genesis
Splatterhouse Genesis
The Punisher Genesis
Comix Zone Genesis
Gaiares Genesis
Boogerman Genesis
Contra Hard Corps Genesis
Pirates of Dark Water Genesis
Herzog Zwei Genesis
Death and Return of Superman Genesis
Enemy Zero Saturn
Dragon Force Saturn
Shining Force III Saturn

Just to clarify, for Punisher, does that include just the instructions and box, or the pendant that came with it?

Never knew a pendant was included. Don't have to have the pendant.

Captain America was the pendant - Punisher was the tattoo. My bad. :P

updated my list on pg 1.  Sega Genesis Classic Game Console.

I did, from the UK. Thanks for the info. After you said that I found that info and ended up going to ebay.uk for it.

Knocked 2 more NES games off my remaining licensed list thanks to one of our newer members jansolee66.  Only 25 titles remaining. :)

updated my list on page 1.  I need a Mario Bros round seal cart and Metal Mech cart to make those complete.

Updated my list on page 1 to include Power Strike and Ninja Gaiden for SMS. Come on European members, help me out with Ninja Gaiden!

Hey, if anyone comes across a set of those Atari 2600 Matchbox cars, please let me know.  I'd love to add those to my gameroom.  Thanks! 

- Naner

Wish I would have known, the store had a bunch when I bought mine. They are probably out now, but I'll check when I go by there next.

Thanks Duke.  I'm a big Atari fan as you know, but I can't seem to find them here.  No Krogers in my area, and I hear that this is where many people are finding them.

Yep, that is where I got mine.

Can anyone keep an eye out for miracle teaching piano cords. it could be the SNES or NES, and I need the power adapter as well. 

Thanks

You can make your own MIDI cord - it's not difficult. The power adapter's nothing special as well.

I fairly sure that my K-mart still has these. I not sure of the price but I believe that they are in the $3-$4 range each.

Wow, seems a little high for Hotwheels, but then again, I probably haven't bought one since 1986. Ha!

The price is probably right. Mine were $2.50 at 50% off.

Ah, okay. I'd still pay it, just thought someone mentioned that they got them for a little over a $1, but they must have been on clearance. I remember when those things were .50....damn I'm old.

Just picked up AD&D Dragon Strike for $10 on ePay.....woot

That's pretty good!

Yeah, I guess no one was looking for it.  Didn't even snipe it, put in my max bid with 4 hours left.  Shipping only $2.46. Seen it for as high as $35.

Nice!! It's a really fun game too. Check it out when it arrives.

page one, need a couple of NES carts and manuals!

Bil, I looked at two copies of Mario Bros. at a local store for you yesterday.  Unfortunately, both were oval seals.  I might be able to get you a River City Random manual, but from what I remember, it's in below-average condition.

Nice! As Crabby stated give it a play when it arrives as it's a great game.

If anyone sees Tengen Tetris for $50 or less, please tell me.

I think someone on NintendoAge was selling one for $50.  I can't remember who it was though.

Added CIB Final Fantasy for nes to my want list.

One of our members was able to track down the Pong, Breakout & Missile Command Hotwheels cars for me.  Still need the Centipede, Tempest, and Atari 2600 vehicles to complete my set.  Thanks all.

I've seen them up here, but they are like 5.99 or 6.99 a piece. If you're ok with those prices I can grab them though.

If you find them, that works. I can repay you in NES games.

Sounds good, I'll keep an eye out next time I'm downtown.

As it turns out, there is one more silver box Konami game that I had overlooked.  Added The Lone Ranger CIB to my list.

Hey everyone, I saw this craigslist ad and thought about getting a few items from the seller.  I apologize if I posted this in the wrong area, but I thought anyone looking for a game can view this ad.  Some of his stuff is overpriced, but some isn't.

http://jacksonville.craigslist.org/vgm/3512327970.html

Need some last minute help!  Trying to find a cheap PINK 3DS XL for Valentines Day, doesn't need to have the box or even the charger or dock, just as long as it works.  I know it's a long shot but if you see one in your local craigs and think you can get it to me (Connecticut) quickly, let me know!

Updated my list.  Wildbil, when you get time, you think you can link my post to the front page?

added a few more games to my list.

Added and removed some items on my list on page 10

Bil, can you throw up a link to Johnny's list in the initial post? Thanks.

done.

updated my list on page one with NES carts and manuals I need http://www.rfgeneration.com/forum/index.php?topic=9855.msg141828#msg141828

Thanks Wildbil and Singlebanana!  Oh, and would you guys consider TMNT III a silver box game?  It is Konami and I think it has a silver box.......

I actually would not.  It IS a Konami game, but the box design differs from the standard silver box design.  http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=U-027-S-06600-A&type=bf

Duke has pointed out to me that several titles that didn't get silver boxes in the states DO have silver boxes in PAL like Rollergames, Metal Gear, and Snake's Revenge.  Once I finish the silver box set, I wouldn't mind going after the PAL version to extend the silver section.

Wow your right, I think I have only seen the spine and I recall the spine being silver, but that's the first time I have seen the front of the box.

I'm looking for the old DDR games for playstation.  Dance Dance Revolution and Konamix.  If anyone knows of where i can find the Japanese ones that's cool too.

crossed a few things off

Updated my wish list, which means I slimmed it down, I had way too many things on there.

Are you talking about PSOne DDR or PS2

Looking for an Intellivision III.

Knocked about 6 games off my 2600 wishlist with a GG purchase. Free bump. :)

I am looking for Treasures of the Deep for PsOne.  I played this game on a Demo when I first bought a PSOne, and I loved it. I never got around to buying it though.

So, people who live in my neck of the woods please keep an eye out for me.

Another PSOne game I have been on the search for is Intelligent Qube

Looking for SNK NES games.

added PC10 games

EDIT: Chrono Trigger get!!

looking for an original Gameboy AC adapter

If anyone has, or can find, a PS2 Slim AC adapter I'd really appreciate it.

Just remembered that a while I bought a Golgo 13 with label damage on the back. I'm looking to either replace the cart or the back portion.

As long as you don't cannibalize a Silent Service cart, it's cool.

I think I have one of these.

NM its gameboy color/pocket :P.

those seem to be the most common, i saw a lot of them on ebay and only a couple originals. thanks anyway!

Because that would be a tragedy. Would the back of any cart fit on a different cartridge?

updated my list

Small list now but I'll be adding more. :D

Boxed systems/accessories
-NES
-SNES
-Power Glove (want to join the team!)

the rest boxed or loose:

THANKS GUYS!!!!!!!!!

I have a Rechargeable Batt. Charger for the Gameboy ... http://assets.catawiki.nl/assets/2011/9/2/2/1/8/21805f10-b7e1-012e-ab68-0050569439b1.jpg like that ... pretty sure that's not what you're looking for though

i was actually offered that same battery charger already, and was told it didn't seem possible to run it off only the AC outlet. looks like the cord would be short too. it would be better than regular batteries, but i'm really looking for something i can just sit on the couch with and play while plugged into the wall, without any worry about batteries dying on me. i've seen some clear ones on ebay that look third party, but there must be an official adapter somewhere. thanks anyway!

Anytime ... always willing to help ^^

Added some stuff:

CIB N64
-Anything but Mario 64 & Wave Race

GAMEBOY
CIB Pokemon Red, Blue & Yellow

Here's A Link to my NES Wants Thread there are Games, Boxes, and Manuals I am looking for.

http://www.rfgeneration.com/forum/index.php?topic=11514.0

I'm on the lookout for Wave race on the Gameboy and Gamecube

Do you guys find eBay to be a good source for games? I'm not looking for anything insane, just a few early Genesis games with box and manual like; Forgotten Worlds, Ghouls n Ghosts, Thunder Force II & III, among others. I looked up Ghouls n Ghosts and it seemed a little steep to me.

Ebay is fine if you don't mind paying the same or more than everyone else. If you're patient and build some good connections on sites like this you can likely score all of those for much cheaper though. Just takes time. If you want to play/have them right away no one is gonna look down on you for going to Ebay route though. :)

i find ebay to be the only option in a lot of cases, unless you have the time or are willing to put in the effort to check all the sale topics of all the forums daily, as well as other auction and store sites. ebay has more up for sale at any one time, and you're less likely to have trouble finding what you need there, though the prices can get crazy. just make sure you learn how to use completed listings and pricecharting.com to find the true value of a game, don't impulse buy just because it's the only available item at the time until you know what the market value on it is.

I second what techwizard said. I'll usually put a bunch of the same game in my watch list and use it to make my own little price chart by looking at the final sale price. If you see something you might want do some homework to learn average prices and keep an eye on the game. Maybe it won't sell and the seller will relist it at a lower price.

Nothing wrong with buying on eBay. I do it a lot. But it's a last resort option once local thrift stores, yard sales, kijiji/craigslist, and sale threads have proven fruitless over a long period of time.

Good luck, my friend.

Thanks for all of your input! I'm in no real rush to buy anything. Probably about 3 months before I start getting eager.

Ebay is a last resort for me.  Trading here online is always the first place i look, then I'll look locally, and then finally Ebay. 

No one has mentioned Game Gavel yet.  Great resource.

Wow, I checked out Game Gavel and it's amazing. Thanks!

EDIT - Is there a general price guide for everything or should I just make my own determination from studying eBay and Game Gavel? Is rarityguide.com a good site for this?

http://www.vgpc.com is a decent price indicator if you compare it to other auction sites. However, it doesn't take condition or completeness of a game into account

STAY AWAY FROM RARITYGUIDE. IT'S NO WHERE NEAR CLOSE, EVEN WITH HISTORICAL DATA. Many a time I've been burned by store owners who think RarityGuide is correct, and they charge $600 for a $50 game.

VGPC is typically a good go-to reference. It's best used for trending data, but you can see recent/historical auction prices between the 3 major sites on it: http://videogames.pricecharting.com/

I typically use it to help price bulk lots, or when I'm trying to find where game prices are trending so I can pick something up on a downslope.

EDIT: Rich, it tracks completeness now. Started a couple months ago. Condition is another factor though that's not on it.

Thanks Shadow, good to know.

Just narrowed down my Atari 2600 search list in an attempt to acquire a few titles to complete my sub-collections of releases by publisher (in many cases, I am 1-2 games away) and a few odds & ends I would like to own. As you may know, the 2600 collection is not one you can realistically complete, so I have found that smaller goals within the collection are the way to go. Here is my list and any help is appreciated. I have updated my main listing on this thread as well. Thanks.

Spider-droid (Froggo)
Dishaster (Zimag)
Up n' Down (Sega)
Pete Rose Baseball (Absolute)
Out of Control (Avalon Hill)
Shuttle Orbiter (Avalon Hill)
Oscar's Trash Race (Atari - kids)
Mr. Do!'s Castle (Parker Bros.)
Q*Bert's Qubes (Parker Bros.)
Motocross Racer/Tomarc the Barbarian (Xonox double-ender)
Robin Hood/Sir Lancelot (Xonox double-ender)
Gremlins
Road Runner

Thanks again guys! You all have been very helpful! I look forward to growing my collections.

Completely forgot about this thread. Was actually going tp start up a new thread with a similar concept, but since this is here I will just add your lists to my hit list :). Have four large flea markets real close by and run into a large variety of stuff so hopefully I can help you all out a bit :).

Much appreciated. Once you post your list here, be sure to have Bil add a link to it in the initial post.

Would it make sense to make a master thread for the systems, spin off other threads for people hunting for those systems with the games as a list, and people looking for them? This thread's way too unwieldy for me to check when I'm out looking for others. I know I've got 5 or 6 games that people need, but I don't remember who needs them now.

e.g.
Nintendo NES
Sega Genesis

Nintendo NES thread

Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle - GamerNick ($5 OBO, CIB only), ...
Ghoul School - GamerNick, ...

(example used. I knew you needed Rocky, Nick, and I have an extra loose copy. :P )

What I thought would be cool and what I was considering making was a master thread for all want/looking for lists. Something similar to this just instead of having people make lists and linking to them I would like just a master list of games with those who want them.

The OP post would be an explanation about what the thread was for then 3+ spaces would be reserved beneath it for the various systems. Really like having just a straight up list like what GamerNick has in his wanted thread. Such a style would make the list easy to print out for hunters and easier to look up specific request.

Format for the lists would be something like.

ATARI

Atari 2600:
Q*bert (Popeye22: CIB) (YoYo51: Manual) (RickyMartin: Loose)
--------(TomiCru: Box)
Pitfall (RB3: *Loose*) *color code for high priority wants + * symbol in case people print grayscale*


Edit: I personally do not have a want list but I love hunting and plan to go out every weekend I can. Having a list which is easy to read and print would be a huge asset.

I was hunting last weekend with GamerNick and techwizard's wanted lists and kept thinking about how much easier it would be to have one huge print out instead of two multipage lists to go through. Would also help since I had multiple sellers actually take the list and look through their inventory which for whatever reason half of them left in their trunks :X(Renting a stall and putting out only four GC games on the table and having 50 NES carts over 50 feet away in your trunk makes no sense, but whatever floats the sellers boat as I say :P).

Ill throw this out there:
