the small score's thread

[Mr. Ksoft]

TMSS screen? Was ist das?

The Licensed by Sega screen.  (Very early Genesis models did not have this!)

ANYWAY I can't believe I forgot to post about a score I had about two weeks ago.

My grandma gave me ten bucks to spend resale shop hopping that day.
Unfortunately, I didn't find too much... though fortunately, I got to keep the money I didn't spend so I profited and am now getting closer to actually being able to afford stuff again.

3-button Genesis pad - $0.50
SimCity 2000 (original version, not SE or anything) - Very CIB, including absolutely everything that came in the original package, even registration cards and Maxis brochures in pristine condition! - $1

Anyway, I just now remembered to post this because I was going through the SimCity box and found tucked in the bottom a CD copy of SimCity Classic for PC/Mac!  Definitely not part of the original SC2000 package... I bet someone accidentally left it in there.  Score for me!

I also find it very interesting that when I went on Ebay just now to see what they were worth there was not a single copy of either one!  (There are several of SimCity 2000 SE, and a few of a version including Urban Renewal Kit, but none of the plain, original, vanilla SimCity 2000.  And I couldn't find an identical copy of the SimCity Classic, either...)

Got 24 issues of Nintendo Power for about $5. Haven't had a chance to look at them too close yet, but they appear to be from the N64 era.

Fear 2: Project Origin - $60

[neskid]

Genesis- Splatterhouse 3- game and box, missing manual $3

TI99 4A-(gray system) all hook ups $10 looks like it was hardly used.

I made what might be my last trip to the guy that is selling Minty Fresh NES CIB games. He has 6 left but I already have them CIB in my collection. If I go back, I guess it would soley be to have better condition games than mine.

Anyway here they are.

In all I bought 63 MINTY FRESH CIB NES games from this guy over the course of the past 3 weeks or so.

I had to sell some games from my personal collection on Ebay to raise the money to purchase these games.  But it has been worth the sacrifice.  In all I spent a little over 200 dollars.  Which is more than I would have normally spent.  BUT, GOOD LUCK ever finding games in this good of condition in the wild.

All 63 games had Game, Box, Manual, Styrofoam, Sleeve, (Posters and Maps if included).  And the contacts were immaculate.  Looked untouched.

I am thinking of writing a blog on this particular find listing all the games and grouping all the photos from the past few weeks. Let me know if that is something you would find interesting. if not maybe I won't.

63 cib NES games.  Amazing.

[Crabmaster2000]

I'd be very interested in a Blog post showcasing all the CIB games you've gotten lately. Especially if you post more pics, cause they are beautiful.

Looking forward to the blog cverz2

Was able to find a NIB Soul Calibur IV (xbox 360) at Circuit City for half off. Total cost $31.79. I was surprised they still had about a half dozen copies left.

Dick Vitale's "Awesome Baby!" College Hoops for Genesis

Free from a buddy of mine. What an awesome game title.

Wow, those 63 CIB NES games are really worth the $200, me thinks.

I hope you sold some of your newer games to get all these. That way later down the road you can get them again. At least that is what i would do

Well most of the games I sold were games that were easy to get back like, Mario Party 1,2,3 Super Smash Bros. Mario Kart 64, and games like that.  I find them all the time in pawn shops. Except maybe MP3.

Picked up a replacement copy of Grand Theft Auto - Vice City for the PS2 today for $6. I lent mine to a friend a while ago and never got it back. Everything inside looks nice, and it came with the map. Just need to replace the case, as I do with most PS2 games I pick up used.

My CC is at 40% off.
They have LE copies of Soul Calibur IV for PS3 and 360 there.

I asked about buying their instore demo systems but they said the PS3 was dead and MS was coming to pick up the 2 360 displays.
The decided not to say anything about the PS2 slim and the actual games or stands. Just the systems. Bastards.


Anyways i found an old Sears giftcard i had from 2007 had 25 bucks on it so i picked myself up some goodies.
Mortal Kombat Kollection PS2 - 14.97
Yu Yu Hakusho Ghost Files Tournament Tactics GBA - 4.97
Camp Lazlo: Leaky Lake Games GBA - 4.97
The Gladiator Pack for Wii - 14.97

I had actually ran out the card on the Wii and GBA stuff then i ran across the only MKK in the sale bin and had to grab it for that price.
