my weeks haul so far

Sadler · 08/17/2011, 08:18 PM

I mentioned to a friend that I bought an FC Twin last weekend and he asked me if I wanted to buy his SNES collection. Initially he said $25, but went up to $40. I think what I got out of it is worth it though. Almost everything came with box (generally in great condition) and manual. Plus there was some NES stuff in there!

Here's an overview of the haul:

Here's a close up of some of the SNES games, including a boxed Mario RPG and Zelda 3

/2a5cfmo.jpg

Here are SF2, SF2 Turbo and SSF2. With my Fighting Street and PCE SF2, this is a decent SF2 collection

Finally, here's the NES stuff (not including game genie):

Not bad for $40!

BlueBMW · 08/17/2011, 08:21 PM

You could have bought an arcade card for $40...

J/K nice haul... even if it is Nintendo stuffs!

Good news! I've already got an arcade card.

Trust me, I'm loyal to TG/PCE, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't spend a lot of time enjoying SNES in HS. ALSO the Duo is currently in the mail to be modded. I need some retro goodness while I wait.

BlueBMW · 08/17/2011, 09:51 PM

Awesome Sadler! That is a pretty impressive haul for $40. Boxed Nes and SNES games are harder to find.

Actually for some reason I thought that posting was trevpwnsnoobs lol. That evoked the comment I posted hehe. Sorry for the mixup!

Trevpwnsnoobs · 08/17/2011, 10:39 PM

oh bemby, its ok........But DONT! do it Again!!!!!

liquitek · 08/18/2011, 10:45 AM

Nice pick up Sadler. $40 was a good price for that lot imo

RR1980 · 08/18/2011, 11:01 AM

and the best part about buying from a friend is you know there won't be crap games!

blueraven · 08/18/2011, 04:38 PM

Unless they're not taken care of. But this guy looks like he cares

That boxed Super Mario RPG alone is worth more than you paid for everything.

Well, there IS some wrestling game in there. But everything else looks sweet! I'm psyched about Adventure Island 2. I loved New Adventure Island!

Took me a while to see what you posted

I was thinking the same, but I'm awful with determining the values of games. See my Bomberman '93 episode. I have no intention of selling any of these, but I am curious: how much is the boxed Mario RPG worth?

NecroPhile · 08/18/2011, 05:34 PM

That is one nice looking pile of (mostly) boxed Nintendo goodies, especially so at only $40. What's the loosey goose NES cartridge?

Dalder · 08/18/2011, 05:37 PM

man ! NICE SCORE on the Nintendo Stuff !!!

The three loose NES cartridges are Legend of Zelda (original gold cart), Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt and Adventure Island 2.

NecroPhile · 08/18/2011, 06:03 PM

Oh, duh; I should've figured that out from your previous post. Have fun with Master Higgins.

Ope, nice haul with both Outrun (one of the best games ever) and Spelunker (a personal favorite with a shiny red light).

Did you just get the box or was there a system in it?

Opethian · 08/22/2011, 02:59 PM

heh I got the system too but no cardboard spacer

SuperDeadite · 08/24/2011, 11:03 AM

Found an old CDV today, never seen one before. Ironically from a singer I actually like.
Talk about obscure ass video formats!

FINALLY nabbed Hi Leg via a sweet deal from teh BMW man. Couldn't pass up the Ultraman set for $4 either

/9009abd3.jpg

With Borders book stores closing there's still deals to be had in their VERY picked over stores.

/2ddd9166.jpg

BlueBMW · 08/27/2011, 06:01 PM

I just got home from a Mecca of Turbo located somewhere in the Southeast. Here's what I brought back!

/HenlerHauly.jpg
/HenlerHauly2.jpg
/HenlerHauly3.jpg

That's a camp california soundtrack, not the actual game.

And while I was gone, a few things arrived in the mail:

/32x1.jpg
/32x2.jpg

chany60126 · 08/27/2011, 06:39 PM

Nice monty haul beamer!

Is that the Camp California soundtrack or the PCE version of the game?

Quote from: chany60126 on 08/27/2011, 06:39 PMNice monty haul beamer! Is that the Camp California soundtrack or the PCE version of the game?

Its just the soundtrack. I have the game already, and I believe it was a US exclusive!

Looks like I'm less than 10 hucards away from a US set. Though I wont be going for Magical Chase, that's just silly. worst one still to go is Tonma

Sparky · 08/27/2011, 08:18 PM

nice beamer... you are 1 lucky bugger when finding godzillias!!!

will keep an eye out in canuck land for you for Tonma

Mathius · 08/27/2011, 09:36 PM

Wow!

Cadash, Last Alert and Cotton

You need to return those 32X games. They are all upside down.

BlueBMW · 08/27/2011, 11:54 PM

Yeah I dont know why photobucket flips pictures sometimes... oh well, 32x is kind of a backwards system anyways.

Damn, only place to find any Turbo games in my area is eBay!

Curse the lack of retro game stores!

You guys get all the cool shit.

None of that was from a store. That was all from a collector's duplicate stash

Cost me a Laseractive + PC Engine pac, so it certainly wasn't free!

w00t! kolibri!
i wish i had that shockman and last alert, or really any of those other games that you grabbed (except of course for splash lake, which you so courteously provided me).
i'm almost afraid to ask how much that set you back.

The TG/PCE Stuff came from Henrycsc. The 32X stuff came from a guy on www.gametz.com.
