/vr/ - Retro Games

Good for you. Mediocre deal

the 2 zeldas and n64 with hookups and no controllers would of been close to $100 alone.

Not that great a deal but if you are happy that's what counts right?

The two Mario Karts did sweeten the deal quite a bit since it's been going up in price so much as of late. Plus the Indiana Jones games is pretty rare, though it's absolutely broken on the most fundamental level.

Get rush 2049 bro

I picked up Gran Turismo and Monoply for PS1 at Goodwill yesterday for a buck a piece. They're both the GH versions, so not the best deal. They had Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, Scrabble, and A Bug's Life as well, but I passed them up. I also passed up the few PS2 sports games, Madden on the Genesis loose, and a CIB My Weight Loss Coach for DS. Shopping for games at Goodwill is the pits. Maybe I'll have better luck today at the flea market and a different Goodwill.

No. It wouldn't have.

>>1171816

Yes it would have you dumb ignorant cunt, learn what things are worth you fucking faggot.

I had a sad find at the flea market today. I found a misprint FF7 with heavy water damage and no disc 3.

Received a $100 gift card to the local used game and movie store for my birthday. Paid $90 for the lot this morning.

I know most of it's not retro, but whatever.

How much did the golf magazine run you back?

Hi friends.

I acquired an n64+controller(without hookups) for 11.99 and it has no ware on the controller+console.

Was this a good deal?

>James Bond: The World's Not Enough

This is my favourite bond game, I find it to be better than GE.

€15, looking forward to playing Kirby, never really played any of his (its?) games.
And my GBC clones with backlight were shipped today, I hope they arrive in good condition and without import duty. It was €35 for 2, they weren't on the site anymore, but I messaged the seller and he had a few laying left that he was willing to sell to me.

Scored a nice assortment of games for different consoles today.

No. It wouldn't have.

Picked up OoT, Gauntlet Legends, and DK64 from a Craigslist meetup (didn't get shot) for $50, not the best deal, but less than eBay

Mario Party 3 was from eBay and sadly I had to give in to the pricing ($27.00 my aching ass)

>>1175913
>didn't get shot

I've gotten so many games off of craigsllist. I don't see why people on this board are so afraid to venture outside of their house and make a monetary transaction with a stranger.

Yesterday I picked up an xbox crystal, two GG (one recently recapped the other could use it) an SP, a few random GG+SP carts, 4 SNES controllers and vid cables for DC and xbox. $22.

>>1171838
Good to know, since I have a bunch and can still pick them up for less than a buck. Will go back tomorrow and pick up the 4 I saw yesterday. I'll become rich and all thanks to you.

>>1175952
Right?

I'm actually planning on selling my copy of Soul Blazer tomorrow.

Craigslist is wonderful.

>>1178690

Yes, it came with the disc and the slip cover for the case. I was shocked to see it for that price.

>>1176112
I've bought and sold more than a dozen copies of Star Wars Battlefront 2 for the Xbox. Just because I personally find them all the time doesn't mean they aren't valuable or hard to find for others. If you have that many copies available to you, good for you.

>>1175952

Perhaps they live in the cities? I live in a smaller town and have no problems meeting up with people. I don't even bring my conceal carry.

Some stuff I haven't put away yet

>>1178867
got banjo tooie for 35 and perfect dark for 25 at winnipeg comic con and also an n64 expansion pack for 3 dollars. did i do good

>>1179574
You did great on the expansion pack, but you got seriously ripped off on Banjo and Perfect Dark, unless maybe Banjo was complete. Either way you can buy Perfect Dark brand new for less then $25.

Just picked up Streets of Rage, Wild Arms and Doom. Feel pretty good.

>>1171792
good price for it being a sweet N64 starter kit type of package.

Got these in the mail today.

Also, I got everything in >>1172281, which was pretty rad.

>>1175508
>Carrier

I remember buying a DC game off of ebay years ago, and the guy tossed in Carrier too.

It came with a little note in the box basically saying "Here, I don't want this anymore and you must want Dreamcast games!".

>go to the same flea market every weekend
>always the same shit
>find Sega mega drive model 1 without cables or anything
>15€
>fuck this place

>>1181546
It's not that bad, plays a lot like resident evil 1. I guess it was overshadowed and forgotten by RE code veronica being released a few months later.

>>1181561
its not a bad price. look for any cosmetic flaws and damage and point them out thenask the seller for 10€

heretic: shadow of the serpent riders (pc)
kof dream match (dc)
soul calibur (dc)
Jampack Winter 2001(ps2)
and Ecco Jr for the sega pico

>>1178815
Maybe. But having hundreds of them listed on ebay for the same price as any other cart means they are neither valuable or hard to find.

Here ya go. A lot of NES games in this one.

I picked up an n64+controller for 11.99

I am going to re-sell for $25 and there is nothing you can do to stop me! Mu-ha-ha-ha-ha!

>>1182827

That's a smidge below Pricecharting.

Carry on.

6 dollars for the Nintendo GameCube Gameboy player with the disc.

I paid 20 for Super Smash Bros. I bought it from my best friends wife's, friend.

I was happy.

>>1172887
lol no.

First time posting in a thread like this.
There's only one half-decent used game shop in town and the selection of games is not great (majority is PAL PS1 games which I do not care for, being a 60 Hz whore). I did get these though:

PS1 Namco Arcade Stick: €29
PS1 Dual Shock controller: €10

The arcade stick came with a box but was incomplete. The stick is pretty good condition though - most of the wear and tear was probably from being in the shop window.

I thought these go for crazy prices on eBay but on closer inspection it's only mint in box examples. I still got it for lower than average pricing.

I bought another Dual Shock controller as the d-pad had split on my original (the left button moves independently from the rest) and was pretty worn. I had a second decent one but I suppose I might as well stock up on them while they're reasonably priced.

Now gotta choose some shmup to test out this stick properly... (I have USB adaptor so emulation is fine too)

>>1175386
I own one of these, in yellow. They're superior to the real GBC in every way, minus the DPAD. I might buy a few more of them for modding purposes.

Picked up a PS1 and controller at my local Salvation Army for $12.

>>1183597
Not too bad like every goodwill around me has a ps1 or a psone ranging from $5-420. (It make me lol a bit) I did manage to pick up a snes with a few dis-colored spots and a bit of plastic missing around controller port 2 for $5.

>>1183612
I meant $20 lol

>>1183556

>that sexy looking arcade stick

I don't even like fighters, and even I want to own that.

Also, you really overpayed on that PS1 controller, I own like 3 Dualshock PS1's and I bought them for £1.

>>1183636
I'm not big into fighters either but do like shmups, and it should be good for pretty much anything that uses digital controls and not too many buttons.

Re: the Dual Shock controller, €10 is like the default "cheap" price for anything around here in Ireland for stuff like this, unless you go to car boot sales. It's still cheaper than what I'd pay online (which usually involves shipping from the UK), and it's less used than my other two (sticks still tight with loads of rubber, buttons aren't smooth as hell).

A CEX opened recently in Limerick (never seen them in Ireland before but have been to many in the UK), and they have nothing pre-sixth-gen ;_;

>>1183731

Ah damn, Ireland is having some hard times, go to car boot sales, that's where I bought the controllers.

Yeah, they don't have anything before 6th gen, even though they do get offers for some. I talked to this guy once, and he said that they can't accept old consoles and games and stuff, not sure why, but they just can't.

Hell, they stopped selling Dreamcast games where I was, and they're probably going to get rid of 6th gen entirely soon.

If you have any Cash Converters/Generators over there, check them out. They're really good for retro stuff, I've found FF7 there for 30p, complete.

>>1183746
Yeah we have Cash Converters-like pawn shops in Ireland too but again you'd be lucky to find anything older than PS2 games, and again you'll be lucky to get anything for <€10.

>>1183746
Ever cross your mind to open the one shop in Ireland that does accept old consoles and become super rich because you're the only one in your country(?) who provides this sought after service?

>>1184118

I'm not that guy btw.

I got MD syndicate in the post today, but my most interesting recent addition is pic related.

>>1184118
The shop I got the arcade stick from sells anything. They have an Intellivision and Sony Hit-Bit MSX in the shop window (among more common stuff) - shit you never see in this country. They actually have a few MSX carts (all Konami games) mixed in with a pile of SMS/MD games. But most the PS1, MD, etc. games were pretty common and average - I saw at least three copies of Mega Games I for example.

There are shops like this elsewhere around the country, but not many. Ireland is a small country - it's hard to make a living catering for such a niche market. There are some decent places online for buying/selling retro stuff, mainly adverts.ie (Craigslist-like thing).

Also, I'd rather iron my sack than get into retailing.

>>1184251
I was afraid it wouldn't be the sure fire road to riches it looked like.
