/vr/ - Retro Games

Anybody want any of this shit? Just downsizing some of my doubles since buying collections over the weeks. FF7 is missing the manual.

Posting this for posterity. We have a BST thread all the time, the last one just got pruned.

It's dumb but at least it's some kind of information that's tracked.

>>847016
That kind of information is hard to come by. The best you can do is check NintendoAge to see how prevalent a game is on eBay, and get a good feel for how many copies were printed. Everything ends up on eBay eventually.

2/2, bunch of stuff here I need to play eventually.

Will post my ratings later. These are my favorites at the moment; I know SH3 isn't retro, but it's not going anywhere from my favorites.

Dude.

Buy that, you clown.

Well, what matters is that you got to spend some precious bonding time with your wife.

All right, strange to see a cart behaving that way.

Have you tried cleaning the contacts on your cart? Rubbing alcohol and a Q-Tip go a long way.

I'd really like to see an end to the "did I do gud" threads, as well as price check threads. I was thinking of having them combined with the BST thread to reduce the amount of these clogging up the board.

No, that seems about right. There's been copies selling this month for the game ending as high as 40.

If you don't mind spending the extra dosh, I recommend the Game Boy Advance Player over the Super Game Boy, since it plays everything. Downside is that you don't get cool borders like the Super Game Boy.

Mostly from garage sales here. My area is populated with tons of resellers, being so close to a major city, so it's usually my best shot to come across something good. I've also bought plenty of things from wonderful anons on this board, and I have nerdy friends who need cash more than games most of the time. Craigslist has brought results once or twice, but it's usually a piece of shit. Goodwills have yet to produce anything worthwhile.

Actually, I've never resold anything I got through the BST. I've only picked up games I actually want to play. Thank you for the kind words, though.

If you're done listening to these guys, shoot me an e-mail about Tron, I'll give you a good offer that can let you buy as much Starburst as you can handle.

>>835997
You are absolutely correct, and I will admit that I didn't think that through as much as I should have.

>>835993
Unless you're a retailer, no.

>>835921
Okay, I can understand that game being so sought after, simply because it's just so weird.

I just wanted to get your perspective on it; it's just hard to imagine myself paying that much more for NFR games. I'd rather just have the game to sit down and play; guess I value the game itself more. Not that there's anything wrong with that; I've been guilty of "pimping" out my collectibles, namely in Magic: the Gathering cards.

>>835824
That's really high; if I was gonna put up a regular copy, I would've put it at 30 tops. The only reason I sold it was because I found a nicer looking copy at a garage sale, and sold my personal copy; I remember stealing it from Blockbuster because I bought the loose disc from a friend, and needed a case for it.

>>835779
My question to you is, is the mark up on these NFR games really justified? It seems atrociously silly to charge almost double on a game's worth because of a couple words on a label. By that same token, it seems the only way you'll be able to bolster such a collection is almost exclusively through eBay; you put yourself at the mercy of the merchant.

K.

Somewhat unrelated, but I sold a copy of Wind Waker on eBay for 45 bucks, and it had "For Rental Use" on the back cover of the game, which is why I pushed the price of it up a bit. The person who bought it, who has a huge amount of these "Not For Resale" games in his listings, put it up for 125 buyout. It's still up there now.

My bet is just that it's shady resellers trying to milk collectors of money because it says three words on it.
