mtilly Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Holy cow, you're not kidding. I just now looked that up. Even bare discs are going for a healthy amount. The funny thing is I didn't buy this set for the game; I bought it for the Game Boy Player. I didn't find the game until after I got everything home and looked inside. I have one with case and cover art but missing manual, as well as a disc only. So I'm sitting good haha. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the game is expensive not only because it's a desirable game, but because MLG (Major League Gaming) stuck with Melee for professional play instead of Brawl. Sorry if this confuses you lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+FujiSkunk Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Picked up a classic Xbox with no power cord, av or controllers. It did have a DVD remote though. I'll have yo dig around for a power and av cable. Maybe it will have xbmc on it. Does it have the DVD dongle as well? The remote won't be of much use without it. It so happens I have an extra dongle in need of a remote. Fortunately XBox accessories are quite common and usually quite cheap. If you want to save some shopping time, though, I have power cords and controllers, and maybe a spare A/V cable. PM me if you're interested.

Falconhood Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 the THRIFT finds were found at Edward McKay...is that considered a THRIFT store since they actually sell this stuff, and no GoodWill in my town does? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+FujiSkunk Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 What's the variation between Sears and normal labels? They say "Sears" instead of "Atari," and they use a different font for the game title. Several games were also released with different titles. Three games were only released as Sears cartridges. You can see an example of a Sears picture label here, and of a Sears text label here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Link Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I don't wanna retype all this, so I'm gonna cross-post, I've had very dry seasons last few years, few games or controllers year after year, when a boxed GBC for $20 is the highlight of 2013, yeah, But today I found a HUGE lot at a yard sale, hardly any dupes at all, and not just games, a small handful of collectibles, too. I'm assuming this was a collection he was selling, I offered him $100, expecting some resistance or haggling, but he accepted, saying that the sale had been going all day and no one did more than glance at the table with the goodies on it. I'm working on getting pictures of all of it, but it's gonna take some time to put it all together, but I'll go ahead and list it all off, here goes: SNES: Boxed SNES Mini (Yoshi box) Boxed controller Beavis and Butt-Head (boxed) Donkey Kong Country (boxed) PTO (boxed) Vegas Stakes (boxed) Wheel of Fortune (boxed) Hook (loose) Mega Man X (loose) Super Mario World (loose) N64: Boxed V3 Racing Wheel Expansion Pak removal tool South Park (boxed) The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (Collector's Edition, boxed) The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (boxed) Banjo Kazooie (loose) GameCube: Boxed black console Two loose black controllers Memory card Battalion Wars (complete) Dance Dance Revolution Mario Mix (boxed, with pad) Little Nemo (complete) Lord of the Rings: Two Towers (complete) Need Foe Speed Underground 2 (complete) Super Mario Sunshine (complete) Super Monkey Ball 2 (completely) Tony Hawk's Underground 2 (complete) Wii: Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars (complete) Dragon Blade: Wrath of Fire (complete) Metroid: Other M (complete) Super Mario All-Stars (complete with artbook/CD) The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (complete) Legend of Zelda collectible tin GBA: Boxed Classic NES GBA SP F-ZERO: Maximum Velocity (loose) Final Round Golf 2002 (loose) Fortress (loose) Harry Potter (loose) Iridion II (loose) Iridion 3D (loose) M&M's Blast (loose) Pac-Man Collection (loose) Monster's Inc.

Rik Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 (edited) My heart bleeds for those just starting to collect classic gaming, and no sarcasm intended. For instance, today i saw in a display case a ColecoVision Cosmic Avenger complete with the dirty box, top ripped off that looked like a steam roller passed over it. And all for $14.99, closer to $20 with tax. This was at Value Village where just 2 years ago the same game in box would go for $2.99 on the shelf. Like i said i feel sorry for those just starting out. It depends which side of the fence one is on IMO. These inflated prices are good for the folks selling off collections, but crap for the buyer. It used to be good for both sides Then again maybe not good for sellers either, i think a lot less are willing to shell out the insane prices.

Try Craigslist and avoid resellers and you can still find some good deals and avoid the inflated prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, the higher prices don't affect me because I've pretty much completed my collections, and i am glad i did before the crazy prices came in.
