Have you even found one of YOUR old games at a used games store?

[STICH666]

I mean they actual cart you owned back in the day. Well I was just at Play-N-Trade and I found my old Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins as well as my Top Gear cart for the SNES with my initials faded on the back. Damn was I happy.

[Glenn Jupp]

Hasn't happened to me (yet), but I think there should be a second part to this question.

 

Have you ever found one of YOUR old games at a used games store... and then re-bought it?

[STICH666]

Yeah that's what I'm asking.

[aftermac]

Never happened to me. Did you pay more to re-buy it than you sold it for?

[STICH666]

No i sold it back when it was about 2 or 3 years old. I gt them both for $5 each.

[NE146]

Not I.. that would have required me selling off, or getting rid of my video game items in the first place.

[STICH666]

I'm still looking for my SNES. Seeing as I can find 2 of my games in the same store, I could see that somebody has most of my stuff in the area.

[Wickeycolumbus]

I've never sold games I bought new, so I guess it will never happen for me. I can imagine it is a great reunion though

I shat bricks when I saw it. I didn't even know Super Mario Land was mine until I booted it up and saw the game save.

IT STILL HAD YOU GAMESAVE? holy crap man, haha thats insane... I'm with the other guys, never sold anything I bought new, and I never initialed my stuff so I wouldn't know anyways.

Yep! From the looks he never even played it. There was a new save in the 3rd slot but he wasn't very far in.

[Zap!]

Besides the game save with a unique name, how would you know it was yours unless you drew on it or something?

[STICH666]

My Top Gear cart had my initials in my 6 year old handwriting. I wrote my initials on the back of almost all of my games.

[Mord]

The only thing like that to "happen" to me is the n64 memory card transfer thing I owned, a dex drive or something. Of course the reason I see it in the store is because they haven't sold it since I sold it to them.

 

I may buy it back from them one day. I mean, it -is- boxed and complete.

[KrazyKaiju]

I've never found one of my games, but I did find one of my old AD&D modules at a used book store in North Carolina. I had sold it 14 years earlier as a kid in Florida. My penciled in DM notes were still in the margins.

Same here.

[Chickybaby]

I was thinking that very thought when I read the title of the thread.

I also have a bad habit of not parting with books as well which is probably how I have at least 1800 as of the last count, and 580 DVDs, bout 80 VHS tapes... well, you get the idea.

It's really awesome how you guys found your old stuff. I would have had to buy it back, just because.

Were there anyone else's notes in that book besides yours? And had anyone beaten any of your high scores?

I found one that I had repaired for sale in a used game store. I took it in to them as a non working cart. I told them that it did, in fact, work, but since they had labeled it as non working before and I had opened the case that I didn't think it could be sold. It had a dead save battery, but the board was in excellent shape, so I took the board out, purchased a new save battery, and installed into into one of my carts. I instaled my old save battery so that the tabs were held to that board by the cart case, then hauled it back to the game store. Heck, they'd given it to me free since they thought it didn't work.

 

A week later it was in the showcase with a $4.95 price tag on it.

I found my distortion pedal at a pawn shop, it was stolen from me. Long story but I eventually was asked to leave, never got my pedal, never found out who sold it to them

Why didn't you call the police?

[zeropolis79]

Yes. After a former best friend stole some of my old 8-bit games, I took to marking my future games with a letter of the Greek alphabet plus my initials in a uniqute way. After my cousin and his best friend stole a ton of games from me when I was dying in hospital, I later found the games in a second hand game shop in the area.

That's fucked up. What were you dying of and how were you cured.

[shadow460]
