Quote from: Bernie on 07/20/2014, 09:54 PMDAMNIT MAN.... I so wish I had one of these....  People throwing their money at it..  WTF...
you deserve to find one in a garage sale one of these days amongst some 80's synth pop cd's. I hope you find one man.
Its killing me to let this go but when you run into hard times video games gotta go. Bernie i can tell you one thing, Im glad i have this to sell. Gonna help me in a huge way. Just sucks once its gone i probably will never own it again.

I can try to scan the manual and the Huey lol.

Truth is bills have hit us hard and either sell this and hopefully get a big chunk of debt gone or risk falling behind on the mortage and car payment. This is what happens to us some times. Like i said thats life and i have kids i need to worry about.

Thanks all for looking.

Thats the only way to do eBay in my oppion, No Reserve, No high buy it nows just 0.01 auction and let it ride. I have gotten offers but for stupid amounts of money. $100 and lower People are total asshats. I'm selling the game cause i have to not cause i want to.

Like i said kids come first. Thanks for looking at the auction.

Thanks everyone for the advice, Most of everything I own is original that I got as gifts as a kid or purchased it growing up. I never believed in trading in games for new games and such.

I have a complete Turbo US set with 2 Duos 1 mint in box the other modded, 2 Turbo 16s with cd attachments, 2 TE hand helds 1 in box. A Briefcase unit and 2 Super Grafxs 1 in box and 1 modded And a few other things I cant thing of Turbo wise.

Sega Genesis with a few rares, Sega Cd, Dreamcast with basically all the best games and some crap. Nes with a lot of stuff, ROBs in box, Stack up in box, Sheesh I have to much to list gaming wise to just bundle it all up and toss on to sell.

Its hard to get rid of games I grew up with but I haven't played them in over 2 years. All my free time is spent with the family. I have 2 homes and actually enjoy spending time with my family and kids. They don't play them anymore and I would much rather sell them off and get a few bucks instead of just holding them and gathering dust.

What kills me is these aint games to me but apart of my childhood as the majority was acquired by me or my parents. But hey my kids come first and its time to pay off a few small bills and take the kids to Disney lol Hell I don't know. All I know is I don't play them anymore and have no time for them in my life.

Thanks for the advice again and it was a fun 35 years gaming in the old skool.
#7
Yup you heard correctly, If you was to get out of gaming. How would you sell off your collection?  Would you piece oit your rare games? Ebay them 1 by 1 or as one huge auction.

Or even little bundles of games?

Any advice would help. Thanks.

Ahhh yes welcome to the world of pinball... I myself have a Nightmare On Elm Street Machine. I love it to death. I got the back screen signed by Robert England and I am always on the lookout for Elm street parts for it. Last year I managed to snag an extra play board for a steal of a deal. Pinball machines are ADDICTING LOL.

I drove to Virginia to get this perfect working machine for $500 a steal for an Elm street machine.Reason he was selling cause he just shelled out $5g for an Addams Family machine lol.

Just a word of advice, Make sure everything works and the board was waxed or you'll have a crappie board with wear and tear. Good luck on finding your machine.
#9
I have a complete set, Only because I was forced to. Yes the money in my wallet forced me to buy the games and make me happy lol.
#10
Just last year I was able to pick ip a working Nightmare on Elm Street Pinball Machine for $900. The guy needed money and was a 5 hour drive from me so I grabbed it up. Got the back light signed by Robert Englund also.

Also have a Japanese pinball machine. The one with tiny steel balls. Freddy vs Jason. $200 in working order.

Quote from: SMF on 07/15/2013, 11:27 PMDoes it count if my daughter plays my MC?
I'd say as long as it's bringing joy through its graphics, gameplay, and sound than it counts. :)
I personally think its a sub par kiddie shooter. I was tempted to sell it but my daughter started to enjoy the cartoonyness of it so it stays and gets love.

Quote from: EvilEvoIX on 07/04/2013, 03:22 PMWhat is something like that worth?
To me?  Less than $200, but realistically probably $250-$275.  Just remember every single case is missing.
I wouldn't pay no more then $180 for the lot. With cases I would go up to $210.
#25
My brain hurts.
#26
Awesome deal hope it yours Fifty.
#27
Received mine in the mail yesterday. LOVE IT LOOKS AWESOME. Now to find time to play it.

Good game you ask, Hmmm wouldn't know. But I did pick up mine used for 10 complete. It finished off my Final Fight collection. Was surprised to see it released on Sega and not Nintendo.
#32
Dammit you all suck now instead of chasing bells I'm going to spend my days creating AWESOME TURBOB STUFF.
#33
I got in the mail the Animal Crossing 3DS XL yesterday also my hard copy of Animal Crossing. Me and my wife enjoy playing together. One of the few games she actually enjoys.
#34
Or it might make unopen Xbox one games ultra rare and highly collectible and the need to store them in ultra rarez plastic cases and put them on ebay for $500, 000 a game as such is in itself worth the buying of such console lol.
#35
I'm interested but I can wait for a killer bundle to be offered before I buy one.

Hey now that they get K3 also might be interesting to say the least to see what Xbox offers.
#37
I was stoked for X. A new game period and a surprise to me. Also DK BABY WOOHOO!!!.
3DS had the same game wait and it sucked ass. I like that they have a busy fall with gamez I want. Smash bros is gonna tease me with every little update ahhhhhhh but it will be worth it in the end.
#38
A lot of games and systems do this to me not just the Turbo lol. I could make a list but I'm at work lol.
#39
In this day and age can't you just get one made overseas?

Quote from: SMF on 06/11/2013, 12:18 AMSony killed it lol. But I was gonna wait until a year or 2 passes before I possibly get a PS4 or Xbox one. Nintendo is gonna end the morning in the lead and watching Sony and MS bicker lol.
Nintendo isn't even going to E3...

http://e3.nintendo.com/
Yes I know Nintendo is doing a Nintendo Direct but to say they won't be at E3 is a lie. Everyone is awaiting Nintendos Direct this morning. It will be a huge event during E3 week.

Sony killed it lol. But I was gonna wait until a year or 2 passes before I possibly get a PS4 or Xbox one. Nintendo is gonna end the morning in the lead and watching Sony and MS bicker lol.

Quote from: SmaMan on 06/10/2013, 07:00 PMHuh, she beat Animal Crossing? I didn't know that was possible, lol!

Anyways, I've added your FC. It'll be awesome to play this game with some OBEYers.
Yes ifs very beatable. Fill up the museums pay off the loans and everything else. You can only add on to your house so much. She was rewarded with a statue of her in game self.

I will add you later tonight. What other games you play on the 3ds
#43
Atari actually killed Hoffa and had to dispose of the body where no one would find him so they created the worlds worst game as an excuse to dispose of the body.... Would be cool if they found something other then ET

Quote from: SMF on 06/10/2013, 01:29 AMI've given up on this great next gen gaming systems. Both Sony and MS are in such a rush to take the lead that they both forgot about what sells the system gamers want and that's GAMES. I was and always will be a Turbo/Nintendo fanboy as those are the 2 companys I grew up with. I do own a PS3 and 360 so forgive me if I sound lime a duh here but if these supposedly next gen systems are so great and powerful then why are all the new games coming out also coming out on last gen systems? Why are PS4 and X1 games being released on PS3 and 360 even the WiiU. Makes me wonder is all. I will stick with Nintendo as they are the only true video game manufacturer still operating today.
The last major release was (the last of us) for the PS3. As for the reason why third party are releasing games for it still is because the PS3&360 still have a user base to sell to.Sure the PS4 and Xboxone are due this fall,but third parties don't expect there will be lot's of early adopters for when they launch.Nintendo being the true manufacture !? Now what is that suppose to mean the big'n has been slow to support the (wii u) while there putting more into the 3DS.
Lol yea I know a lot of people won't be early adopters and developers need to release on everything to try to make a profit. Yes Nintendo is the last video game company that's only making video games. E3 week is gonna be huge for them.
#45
Awesomeness...... looks like my free time will be gone lol

I plan on picking up the hard copy when my wifes AC 3DS XL comes in the mail. Shes a HUGE fan and has beaten everyone starting with gamecube. Very excited for this game definitely.
