    i have the mystic midway rest in pieces, but right now its not for sale. But i do however, if you're interested have tetris, Golden Oldies jukebox, the palm springs open, and comptons encyclopedia available. If you're interested that is. they're all the long box games games though, but CIB.

    pretty much what the topic says. I need 1, but would definitely take 2 or 3 if you've got them for sale. I don't want mint unused condition, but they do need to work flawlessly and look pretty decent. I prefer actually used items and not sat on the shelf untouched crap, as I actually plan on using these. if you've got anything let me know, and hopefully we can work out a deal.

    let me start by saying this is a really good topic. And as for me I am a bit overwhelmed, but not to the point to where I'm losing my mind. Recently I moved 4 hours away, and if this thread was before my move, i would've said yes, very overwhelmed. I had 25+ systems all hooked up to 1 tv, all the cords ran and hidden, special shelves made, and the thought of tearing it down was definitely overwhelming. Took close to a day, but i was able to get everything unhooked and neatly packed, and then I made the move. The tear down was easy compared to the re-set up, which I hadn't really thought about. I just kept staring at the boxes, wondering what am I going to do, wheres this gonna go, how much room do I have, i need a shelf here. I also found myself getting real anxious to get it up and done right. It ended up taking me close to a month before i was content with what I had done, and it's still not done. All the while, I'm still picking up stuff from flea markets, and resale shops, and local game shops, and then i deal with where the hell is that shit gonna go. Plus I just re-moved back in with my g/f and she has stuff she collects and wants on display that I have to figure out where that shit fits in. I still have a bunch of stuff in boxes not out, just because I have no room, and it bugs me on a daily basis. To me, if stuff is packed away, out of sight out of mind, whats the point of even owning it, so I need to get the stuff on shelves, somewhere. And besides video games, I also collect random crap from my childhood. just random stuff from the late 80's early 90's like TMNT stuff, cereal boxes, Pee Wee anything, old sodas, toys, list goes on. I also have duplicates of several systems and it's just taking up space in boxes in closets, but I'm too lazy to try to sell the stuff. And imo, i don't really have all the much stuff. 40+ different systems, and 800+ games. It's a baby collection compared to what it could be. I just want to get settled in my own house one day, and have a perfectly set up spare room with everything neatly organized and displayed, but right now, my apartment will do.

    Was this the set on ebay. That set didnt have powerlords and a couple had no box or instructions. Still was a super deal though

     

    May have well been. I remember 2 games being loose, and as for missing a game, im not too familiar with the entire lineup of this system, but the description said it was complete. I was watching it up till the bitter end. It was at 100 when i saw the auction, and it only had 1 last minute bid to get it to the 150. Yeah, IMO is was a super deal for sure.

    No worse than this jackoff who posted this on my local CL yesterday.

    Hey, I am looking for:

     

    bubble bath babes, bonks adventure, stadium events, for nes / nintendo

     

    conker's bad fur day n64, castlvania, megaman for n64

     

    snes: mario rpg, any of the megaman games, earthbound for snes

     

    turbo grafx I need magical chase, if you have one please email me

     

    any neo geo stuff at all

     

    also random gameboy, virtual boy, rarer stuff, video game sinage, and etc... If you have a huge lot I would love to know what you have, I will pay cash...

     

    To which which I posted this:

     

    PLEASE be careful if you respond to this poster. Many of the games he is looking for are worth HUNDREDS (like the Turbographx and Neogeo stuff) if not THOUSANDS (in the case of Stadium Events) of dollars.

     

    They are probably hoping you are an idiot and won't check.

     

     

    OF course, MY post got flagged and removed right away. icon_rolleyes.gif His stayed up for hours but eventually dissapeared.

     

    Dude, you don't have any idea if he would offer fair market value or not... that was kinda a lame thing to do to someone, since, after reading your post, everyone will assume he is a scammer.

     

    i agree. It's just trolling. Besides, the odds of someone owning those games and has no idea their value, and they're on craigslist looking at the video game sale section, is probably a billion to 1.

    is quest for the rings just boxed or is it complete?

     

    Oh and you're price value is accurate. I watched, and almost bid on, the entire odyssey 2 collection all mint complete in box, including the 3 board games, sell for only 150 bucks before shipping. I mean, the system isn't that bad where the whole this is only worth 150, but apparently i was wrong.

    40's a great price. in shops i've seen it go for 50, and my cousin just got one for over 70 on ebay. he's an idiot though. I got mine like 7 years ago for my g/f's birthday. The first game is her fav of all time, so I figured i get her the second one. It was still hard to find on ebay then, but no one was bidding, and i got it with manual for about 20 shipped. Around then, i also got her Snow Brothers for 36, which for me then was a lot for an nes game. Of course i woulda had it cheaper, a day sooner, had the computer not crashed while bidding. I'm actually surprised this hasn't sold yet.
