/vr/ - Retro Games

Someone else sold a similar batch a few days ago. Apparently, he mis-typed his email address, because there were a bunch of posts saying "YOUR EMAIL DOESN'T WORK I WILL BUY THEM IMMEDIATELY CALL ME ASAP".

>live in the desert
>nobody selling anything except 360 and ps3 games

You should buy that shit, OP.

These still aren't sold. He re-posts this about every other day.

oh word looks like I'm getting up extra early for a garage sale tomorrow

>>367116
Sega Penis.

>>367049
I wish some one would fucking buy my Sega bundles that I have up. They're pretty reasonably priced considering where I live

Also, I wish the people that responded to my add that I'm buying old broken systems would fucking get back to me

>>367128
Oh shit, go get that stuff

>>367136

What are you selling?

>>367128
also this is a pretty good deal if you're into boxes and shit

>>367141
A Sega genesis model 2, with two controllers, and 7 games for $50. I have two bundles up, ones' cheaper though

Some one bought it but returned it because he said it was causing green lines on his TV

Turns out he had it hooked up to an HDTV

I refunded his money because he said he wanted to buy an N64 from me and I want to keep him as a customer.

>>367163
Also keep in mind, that I've refurbished the systems and controllers and I've gone over them with a fine tooth comb.

I take the shells of and wash the insides and take care of any wear and tear inside, such as a loose DC jack in the system and buttons not working on the controllers.

>dat auction
>my dick

You better get that shit right now you lucky motherfucker. Here's one from my area hot off the presses.

>>367163

>$50

Depends on what the games are, I guess.

>>367136
I kind of don't want to go because I know every person and their mother are going to beat me there. I rather go to a few that don't have pictures but say nintendo video cartridges.

>>367190

Go to bed, BGH.

>>367183

And here's another one, even better.

>>367136
>my add that I'm buying old broken systems would fucking get back to me

That's a neat idea, I should try that.

>>367198
You really think I'm him?

I'm no where near his level

if anything I'm selling them at cost, if not a bit more to get my name out there.

>>367215
Prepare to deal with people thinking their NES model 001 is worth $50 just because it works.

>>367225
>NES 001

>sage

Why?

>>367280
This thread is about games from Craigslist. My post had little to nothing to do with OP's topic. When I sage, I'm essentially saying "my post isn't very relevant, I just needed to get something off my chest". Please don't think of sage as a downvote, because that's not what it is.

>>367269
I had a lady, and she's still trying to sell her NES for $50 in my area. She makes it out to be some godsend that it still works

Her add got flagged for something, then she put it up all butthurt again the next day

I flagged it as spam after that

>>367305
Not him but I suppose that makes scene

>>367305

Your post directly related to our discussion of games from Craigslist. I didn't interpret your sage as a downvote, I interpreted it as a cry for attention. Threads have a hard enough time staying bumped on /vr/ as it is.

>>367341
Yeah, but you have to remember how this board works (And, actually, how 4chan used to work as a whole). Threads like these can last for days, even weeks with proper attention, and with the catalog, finding them is even easier than before. There's very little need to keep bumping threads. He was saging correctly, as am I, in that I do not feel my post is relevant enough to bump the topic back up. Its not about the topic itself, it's about your own personal post.

Ever since 2007 when /v/ in particular became hugely populated saging has pretty much lost its actual purpose but it's definitely in full swing here.

>>367391

Stop acting like you're educating me. I know exactly what you think you're doing; you're just incorrect. Just like your use if a trip code.

>>367208
Damn, it's the first one!

>>367208
Can't top that.

>>367457

Pretty nice, but not $350 nice.

Found this. Do you think it's a reasonable offer ?

Looks like this guy dropped the price.

He was trying to sell these at $1200 just a couple of weeks ago. He's got two of them listed and now they're both only $900.

>fake map
>no manual
>not complete in box

>>367457
>>367472
man, I have a boxed game gear that still even has the ad flyers.
I'll never have to work another day again

>>367501
What the hell

>>367493
Maybe $100

Shit, I don't know

>>367515
It's essentially just a loose cart with a sleeve. Given that the map is an obvious fake, I'm cynical enough to believe that the box is a repo, too.

Generic sleeves, too, and not the original stock sleeve which had the metallic red Nintendo logo.

It's just another example of dumbfucks thinking their retro vidya is worth a lot more than it actually is. I've seen those Mario 2&3 carts he's got in the background go for more than gold cart LoZ.

>>367493

Sealed games are a completely different ball game. It's probably worth over $100, but certainly not $1200.

>>367541
Shit, I'd do that. You have $75 worth of games there if you can't get the SNES to work

>>367541

For $75? Do that shit

Any idea what system this is? Can't make out the words on the box besides "TV SPORTS".

>>367541
Amazing deal if it's legit.

Does anyone know what game is second from left on the bottom row and second from right on 3rd row?

>>367548
I know that, I'm just wondering how people think they can get away with it.

Also I had a chance to get a gray zelda 2 cart but it wasn't in good condition

I would have loved to get it if it wasn't nicked to hell and had some plastic coming off

>>367562

Looks like a pre-2600 Pong clone. There were hundreds of them. This one looks like it's in pretty nice shape. That gun alone makes it worth $20 in my book.

>>367554
I probably would get this because of kirby dream land,super mario rpg and lufa.

>>367576
I've got the grey carts for both. I like the look of them better than the gold carts.

>>367562
It kinda looks like Nintendo system

>>367578
That gun IS pretty fucking awesome.

Oh my fucking god

>>367604

>SNK NEO...

Ooo what's dat?

>>367604
The Chutzpah of these Goyim...

Someone posted this the other day. I know it's a troll but it gave me a heart attack at first.

I also tried calling them, but they didn't pick up and their message box was full.

>>367604
>final fancy four

I hate trying to find vidya for my n64. I type in lots on ebay or whatever and what do I get? 500 sports games.

I should just sell what I've got, shit is getting to expensive to buy

>>367621
Neo Geo Pocket Color

10 bucks

>>367637

Heh

>>367604
I also found this, which I am actually interested in

>>367647
>little rock
woah, you're like 2 hours away from me

>>367652
It's worth about that much, sometimess $15. Jap copies always go for way less.

Anyways, my entire craigslist is filled with Xbox and PS3 games. NY doesn't play videogames.

>>367647
You should get that.

Oh man look at all this great variety for $150

>>367652
Famicom/SFamicom versions of the carts often go for dirt compared to the US versions.

On the upside, modding a SNES to play SFamicom games is ridiculously easy. You just gotta snap off two little pieces of plastic.

>>367647

I'd get it. I always wanted one of those.

>>367687
Owned one before, but all i ever had were casino games.

>>367687

I don't understand. Why did that post need a trip code?

>>367664
I actually live 2 hours out side of little rock. So no, I'm either exactly where you are, or 4 hours away from you.

>>367672
At least those are actual games.

This guy is trying to just sell emulators/roms.

>>367604
What the fuck

Hot damn

he's got the Simpsons too

>>367726
To be fair, thats a modded Xbox, it's not like he's charging to come over to your house and download shit off coolrom

>>367726
God damn, call the cops on his ass.

>>367672
Whether that is a bad deal or not depends on the state of the cases. They look cracked, though.

it is my dream to own a Daytona usa machine, This dream will likely never happen

I once saw a Street fighter 2 arcade machine for 250, I was on vacation and had no way of lugging it home. I just wished I could have...

Wha...What the hell is this?

>>367562
Monteverdi tv sports 825

>>367786
The JVC X-Eye
A Genesis and CD all in one.

GET IT.

Even it if doesn't work it's worth that $20

This fucking guy...

>>367786
Apparently a combined Genesis and Sega CD. Seems rare, anon

>>367786
http://ultimateconsoledatabase.com/others/jvc_xeye.htm
>A Megadrive/Sega CD in one unit, similar to the Sega CDX.
>Problem was that this thing originally retailed for like $499, which was more than a normal Genesis and Sega CD combined.
>Still pretty rare today- unboxed units sell for about $80 while complete can be as much as $200 depending on condition.

>>367657
>Arkansas

My deepest sympathies.

>>367786
Dude, BUY THAT RIGHT AWAY! The X'Eye is rare as shit. I've been working at a retro game store for nearly 5 years now and I still have never seen one, not even a broken one.

Even broken that thing is worth at least $50.

is this a good deal for 100

>>367809
Got one hooked up to my TV right now. I believe the 32X works with it, but it's a pain to use 32X CD games, as the add-on would block the lid from opening.

>>367726
can those things emulate well?
I'd consider it for the sake of 32x and Sega CD games that I can't justify the price of the real console for like 10 games

>>367820
Uh, yes

yes it is

>>367793
>Even it if doesn't work it's worth that $20
This. It looks dusty as fuck but for $20? Should be pretty easy to refurb and it's definitely cheaper than finding a Megadrive/Genesis + MegaCD/SegaCD console.

>>367819
>>367815
>>367809
>>367793
>>367826
>>367830
Oh shit, sounds like I might have to jump on this deal, even if it is an hour away. Thanks guys.

>>367820
absolutely a great deal

Fuck you guys, all I can ever find on Craigslist and Kijiji are shit games for $20+

I'm thinking of talking him down to about $35 or $40.

>>367872

>That box
I got mine in this condition for $14

>hi up for sale are 2 boxes full of consoles and games there are over 10 nintendo 64 missin memory packs, 3 snes , and like 3 nes and over 10 sega genesis , and 2 sega saturn and some games asking 60 for everything , i tested some segas and work and the snes 1 work and the rest are to many to test

This sounds almost too good to be true, I mean, I can see a few saturns and a playstation in there. The way the description was written makes me think probably most of them don't work, and none of the games really look interesting other than DKC.

>>367872
Make sure to get a new AC adaptor if you get it. Those 3 in 1's are shit and have a habit of fucking exploding

>>367945
I don't understand. Is that everything for $40, or all consoles for $40 apiece?

One can never tell on Craigslist and hat makes a huge difference.

>>367945
Wait, is seriously selling all of that shit listed for $40?

>>367945
Ewww, no.
$4 a console, that's a total ripoff.

Fucking get it now.

>>367945
eh, sure

>>367945
why haven't you gone and picked them up yet

Go

Now

>>367958
$40/console + games

I wish I lived somewhere else. Everything on Craiglist is either shit or overpriced shit, for me.

I don't know anything about arcade cabinets, but from the description, neither does this guy. Is it worth $525?

First non shitty deal I've seen so far. I would get this if I had my own place.

>>368028
>atomic purple controller addition

oh man

>>368023

Is it in fine condition?

Most cabs go for a thousand or more in such a condition. Even on ebay they do.

I'd buy it as long as it's in fine condition. I have three cabs in my house because I jumped on deals like that. Ms. Pac Man, Donkey Kong and Area 51.

Goddamn they're nice to have around. People who talk about conversation pieces have no idea how much something like that will make people gush.

>>368023
WHAT THE FUCK MAN YOU LIVE NEAR ME I WAS JUST THINKING OF BUYING THAT, are you from around ozark or fort rucker or something?

Oh. I've seen that one. Don't you love the bounce house spam?

This came up a few hours ago. Nothing too special.

>>368046

>>368013
Might as well be. Arkansas is fucking shit.

>>368056
I did contact the seller, but decided not to go with my impulse buy.

I already own most of the games and reselling would take more effort than its worth. The person already had two others looking to buy it anyways.

>>368036

Holy fuck.

I want to live wherever you do.

I'd pay twice that amount and find it to be a good steal.

Woah shit guys this is so rare its the only one on craigslist! L@@K

Hey /vr/, I am looking for your help in a personal quest of mine.

When I was younger, Secret of Mana was one of my favorite games. I'd play it co-op with my little sister and brother (two at a time; I'd play the boy, she'd play the girl, and he'd play the sprite).

When I was around 11, I lent it to my cousin and the bastard sold it. I found it went I was 14 in a local games shop; I knew it was mine because my mom had written my name on the back in permanent marker and it had been crossed out.

Despite how ecstatic I was to see it, I didn't have enough money to buy it back at the time and I missed the opportunity, because the games shop shut down a few weeks later. It wasn't until the last few years that I realized how much that game truly meant to me and how symbolic it has become of a time in my childhood when my siblings and I could spend time with our parents and all get along together.

So, my request to you is if you have a Secret of Mana cartridge that you purchased second-hand or you run across one in the future, please check to see if there is a crossed out name on the back. My name is Anthony and I am willing to buy this cartridge from you.

>>368090

Sorry, meant to make this it's own thread.

>>368090

Get a paypal card and buy it from ebay.

You're in the right thread for it anyways.

>>368103

I mean my specific cartridge, not just any Secret of Mana cartridge. When I go to conventions, I always inspect any copies I find and I've never found it.

>>368109

It might have been thrown in the trash.

I went to the dump to offload things once and found a box of mint NES cartridges, best day ever.

People are fucking stupid about what they throw away.

>>368090
holy shit anon.

I think I might have that cart is it this one (pic related)

$200000 doll hairs pls, also I was just kidding lel

>>368109
Where did you live when you sold it?
And how would we even contact you?

>>367541
holy shit i see lufia 2 in the top left, thats worth 75 right there, jump on that shit!

>>367541

>Kirby's Dreamland 3
>Lufia 2

BUY THAT SHIT NOW

...

>>368082

I'd pay that amount unless it doesn't work. Then I'd pay a little over half and repair it.

Original cabs with Mario games are ridiculously rare.

>>368170

Fucking what?

That's worth $8 at best. Salvage is not worth shit unless somebody is willing to pay.

>>368170

I bet it still works.

>>368197
do you even read?

>>368170
kind of shit, but don't they have repro shells?

>>368129
>>368123

>>368129

To clarify, my bastard cousin sold it, not me. It was in Franklin County, Vermont.

If anyone were to find it, they can make a thread here. This is a picture of objects unique to my ownership (specifically the shirt and the family history of my mother's grandmother) and a timestamp of my hand. If anyone finds it, I will provide a new picture of these objects to verify my identity and we can talk from there.

I'm tempted just for the DK2 complete in box but the others are over priced, does this seem at all like a good deal or should I just wait some more to find something better? Also that Secret of mana and Gaia are insanely over priced

http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/rds/vgm/3671787049.html

>>368240
You do realize some fag on here is just going to write your name on the back and cross it out and try to sell it to you at an inflated price right? Do you at least remember specifically how the name was labelled and how big etc... (don't tell us or you'll get shit posters trying to scam you)

>>368243
Take the two Donkey Kongs and Mario Kart, Gaia and Mana are eBay priced, not worth it.

>>368240

There's very little chance my copy is yours then

It's completely mint and I'm nowhere near Vermont.

Does anybody want to tell me why people from Montana and Vermont have the exact same accent? It must be the proximity to Canada.

>>368252

Yeah, I do; I have a Donkey Kong Country 2 as a guideline, since my mother has very uniform script and always wrote it in the same place.

>>368238
They do, but there's no excuse to be charging that much for such a badly damaged SNES. Sure it still works but if you have to get a new shell you may as well just buy a VF SNES and avoid the hassle.

For something like that, all jacked up, I wouldn't pay more than $10. All it's good for is essentially parts.

>>368252
I don't think anyone here would do that. It's not worth the trouble.

If I find it I'll post about it, but I live too far away from Vermont to really stand a chance of finding it.

>>368269

Thanks. I don't realistically expect to find this thing this way. The person who said it's most likely still in the area is probably right but I'm bored and it could be a fun long shot.

>>368253
>Gaia and Mana are eBay priced, not worth it.
More than ebay priced by a lot. Gaia especially you can get for a lot cheaper than that on ebay, CiB.

>>368282
I bought my copy complete in box for 15$ about 6 years ago on ebay, I thought it was silly but they were all that cheap and they were Buy it Now also. I also got Zero the Kamikaze squirrel for 5$ cart only for snes and now its around 50$.

>>368282

Fifty-five dollars for a boxed Gaia?

That's fucking stupid.

>>368243
How much is MMX?

Only thing of interest I've seen in a while. But I'm going to a flea market tomorrow. Hopefully I can find some cheap GB/GBC games

>>368319
I agree.

I actually got my copy of Gaia for free. Someone gave it to me because they didn't like it, along with Dragon Power for the NES. This was ages ago, though, and just the loose carts.

I've been keeping an eye on craigslist recently but all everybody is selling is Xbox 360 shit. Once or twice there will be retro stuff.

>>368348

I got a boxed copy of Gaia bundled together with a SNES I bought at a yard sale 5 years ago or so.

I don't even like that game.

I've never done much with Craiglist before. There is some big yard sale a few miles away but the the fuckers don't say what time they're open, just the day (tomorrow). They also don't give any clue as to what they're selling. Just that "EVERYTHING MUST GO".

I don't have a car, is it worth walking a few miles for the tiny chance of finding retro games?

>>368332
He sold it, you can probably find a friend who has mega man x and buy it for 5$, go now and ask your friends if they have any friends who have any NES or SNES games, i found a guy with so many unique items and he just had them all in a box in his closet and I gave him 20$ for the lot and there was a complete gamecube in the bottom of it.

Does anybody have a decently priced Tomba 1 or 2 in their area? I can't find anything complete for less than 100$

>>368170
I'm trying to imagine the horrible things he had to have done to break Nintendium.

>>368372
Absolutely. Make sure to get there early, just in case.

This pisses me off.

>>368391

Those late-model SNES's that end up turning yellow are pretty brittle. I did a shell swap on one, and these were the pieces I pulled out of the case.

>>368414
what the fuck does he want to trade it for? So that's a french NTSC repro?

>>368414

I knew I took high school French for a reason.

>>368394
I wake up at noon, on a good day...
Oh well, I guess I won't find any haunted bootleg cartridges if I don't go look for them.

>>368436

Be less NEET.

Nothing in my area other than a couple NES systems and some games. Nothing rare, and certainly no HOLY SHIT deals. Mostly XBox 360 systems, because I live near goddamn Murdertown USA, AKA Youngstown, Ohio.

On a positive note, I saw an ad for a local game shop in Sharon, PA, that I had never known about. Sounds like I'll be going there very soon.

I found 5 interesting listings. Links upon request, all in or around the York, PA area.

1. 2 Player Coffee-table MAME cabinet (they say it has 60 games, I'm assuming MAME) in Ms. Pac Man cabinet. - $800

2. Ms. Pac Man cabinet refitted with the same stuff as the previous. - $1000

3. Gameboy SP with Pokemon Crystal and Sapphire - $60 (I feel like this is a total rip-off)

4. 6 Sega Genesis Carts - $5 (I'm assuming for each)
4.I. Ariel: The Little Mermaid
4.II. Mario Andretti Racing
4.III. NBA, NHL, and Madden '94
4.IV. NHL '97

5. Donkey Kong 1-3 (for Super Famicom) - $50

>>368534

3 isn't a complete rip-off. An SP usually goes for $20-30, and Crystal and Sapphire go for $15+ each. I wouldn't pay $60 though.

>>368549
All bundled together, I'd pay maybe $40 or $50, really.

The SP is scratched up, too, and I couldn't see the buttons. Not willing to shell out top dollar for a shit-up SP and two potentially dead games.

>>368414

Terrible...hah.

For not listing a clear price I mean. Fucking Quebec and their arrogant need to use French. The world speaks fucking ENGLISH.

>>368579

I want to trade my Terranigma game on SNES. It's in excellent condition, practically new. Send me your offers via email, thank you!

>>368534
i went to school in york briefly, i'm surprised there are that many concurrent things on sale in the area. maybe i just don't know anything!

>>368609

Yeah, I gathered that much.

Trade for what though? Trade for currency?

I don't think you're pulling it all together.

>>368610
Well, it's picked up ever since the Hobby shop moved in over next to the Taco Bell and Sheetz.

>>368626

People offer stuff up for trade all the time. It's not a big deal. I guess it would have been nice if he would have named some stuff he wants in return.

>>368638

It's a hard sell when it's a mystery of what you're going to have to offer in return.

This guy is just stupid.

>>368425
He doesn't say. My guess is it's English.

>>368429
That's great!

>>368579
In Quebec, people mainly speak French.

>>368669
This. He's going to either get a bunch of stupid offers or no offers at all.

>>368681

In the rest of Canada and in the United States people speak English.

I speak both but apparently this guy wants only shitheaded Quabs to deal with. That's no way to do business.

Here's a hint- You're not fucking french or you would have been born in France.

>>368698

Omelette du Fromage

Tu es un chien

This motherfucker spams Kijiji so much. Usually he posts like 10 listings a day of Xbox and PS1 AV cables for $8.

>>367049
Just got in contact with this guy and set up to meet up tomorrow. Was it a good deal? I don't know how rare it really is, but I just wanted the version that's not censored.

Question. Why are Jap games so much cheaper than English games? I see tons of SNES games being sold for ridiculous prices($40, $60, etc. for cart only), but if I look at the Jap versions, I can get them for less than $5.

>>368707

That's a poor attempt at French.

Thanks for reminding me of Dexter's laboratory.

Jackass.

>>368717

People don't want Japanese games because they can't understand Japanese or can't play the games without doing some modifying, something most people are terrified to do

>>368717

They over-produced them for an audience that they thought would eat it up like free cheese.

>>368710
25$ for OoT is decent anyway. not the greatest deal but still

>>368717

Because people don't understand japanese and RPGs are virtually unplayable and/or unenjoyable if you don't understand any of the text.

>>368708

Kijiji in my city is always spammed by the same 4 people, at least 3 of whom are resellers, every fucking day. They always want absurd prices too. FIFTY DOLLARS FOR MEGAMAN 3? Give me a break, jesus fuck, I'd rather emulate than give you $50 for Megaman 3. And I'm a Megaman fan.

>>368717
>>368732
Also, a lot of Japanese games had bigger/longer print runs so there are more of them around to buy.

>>368698
I don't think he did it on purpose. I mean, I guess he just wrote in French not thinking about English.
It is bad business I agree. But nowadays, everyone speaks French and English (except maybe old people).

>Live in St. Louis
>Only retro games I see are over priced to hell and back or modded current gen systems

Get me out of this hellhole /vr/.

I fucking hate Craigslist in my area, it's so fucking useless. It's all posts like this:

>nes games in boxes
>Cib nes silver surfer. Jaws. Gremlins 2. Rocketeer
No price, no picture, no description, no quality information, nothing.

Here's another.
>80+ Ps2 games for sale or trade,many titles no doubles and are the real games with the original cases and instructins. These games are NOT bootlegged. Trade for???? Let me know what you have,or make me an offer.
Oh, of course. What an informative listing.

In the event that someone does make a coherent post, it's generally the usual "NES WITH GAME SUPER MARIO BROS. $500" nonsense that you see in this thread. I fucking hate Craigslist.

>>368815

Wait, I found something that might be decent. FFVIII, black label, only manual missing, $15. Should I?

"Vintage ATARI 2600 Midnight Magic game cart - Factory Sealed - $25"

What say you, /vr/? Worth it? Not worth it?

>>368857
The manual is the front cover. Without it, the "black label" doesn't really mean that much...

>>368738
Alrightly that's cool. I just don't want to feel buyers remorse. I've never actually done craigslist before, but I know I've wanted the gold cart /just because/ since I was 15ish.

>>368868

It shows the front cover right there. What would it be then?

>>368868

It game in a double case. Those have dedicated front covers.

The Greatest Hits releases also changed the color of the discs.

>>368868
I think by manual, he means that 'mini walk-through' that came with the discs. I've still got mine anyway.

>>368884

Remember, 3 MINIMUM BUY! HE'S NOT GONNA DRIVE FOR ONE GAME!

>>369249
Most of those carts aren't worth more than a couple of dollars, even even that, without being all marked up.

Why do people on ebay/craigslist automatically assume that old = worth a lot of money?

>>369249
Wow what a fucking jew. He wants top dollar for games that are marked on with sharpie. All those fucking demands. You should seriously send him a picture of your dick or something for being such a jew.

>>369358
Because people are too retarded to understand that value comes from high demand and low supply rather than THIS GAME OLD LOL.

Or they're too lazy to look up prices and assume someone will eventually be dumb enough to buy them. Which is sadly true in many cases.

>>369249
Offer to buy all of them except a few of the more expensive ones to seem legit, and send him to some really ghetto neighborhood with his "valuable" collection.

Mostly overpriced shit, people modding consoles, and stolen stuff.

Found this gem though.

http://jxn.craigslist.org/vgm/3723595302.html

>>369443
>Or they're too lazy to look up prices and assume someone will eventually be dumb enough to buy them.
Reminds me of one of the previous threads like this where some anon mentioned how they saw some hipster squeal over finding a $200 loose cart for Chrono Trigger and paying for it immediately.

Shit like that ruins the market for everyone else.

>>368414
LOL thats fucking me, just curious to know what other have to trade for. I Got Secret Of Mana 2 and Bahamut Lagoon thougt

because craigslist where I live sucks and only has one listing

this looks like a pretty good deal, what does /vr/ think?

No craigslist because that shit is not used here, but what does /vr/ think of this offer? It all works and for $100 I'm pretty tempted.

>>370983
For 100AU? Maybe, if you're really into Mario Paint. Seems a little high to me bruv, strewth.

>>368579
he's not selling it to the "world" anyway...

Tempted.

>>368708
I have this goddamn phone since... forever. I stopped using it 2 years ago...

>>370996
Yoshis Island though. Not that it makes that price worthwhile but the dude says he's open to negotiations. I say try to talk him down man.

>>370935
Do it.

>>371027
Go for it!

>>371035
Talked him down to $80, did I do well?

>>371196
You did $20 better than if you'd bought it outright.

>>371196
I reckon so.

$22 bux for Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door with all its trappings. Did I fuck up?

>>368056
Would rather pay $30 though, and that's if you don't own any of those already and most people have Wind Waker.

>>367820
Most of those games in those conditions I would pay around 5 -10 bucks for given the condition and availability of most of those, so a price range of 60 - 120 for all. If you're getting the supaboy as well then it's definitely worth it as they go for about 80 bucks new (I was only able to find one used for 50 bucks online). So it basically comes down to how many of those games you want as well as do you want a portable snes player.

>>370935
So like 40 US then? I'd do it if I didn't have those/wanted them, I could get an N64 solo for about 20-30 so $40 for that plus a game and four controllers is pretty reasonable.

>>368904
That nigga be lying.
$25 is the online price... On Amazon

>>367942
Finally someone from my area posts

Literally the only thing in the entire country

>>371934

>NTSC cover

Wouldn't even pay $5.

>>371027

That's cheap as fuck for a Saturn. Do some more research on that seller. It looks... Too good to be true.

This is around 60$

Worth it?

Accidentally clicked toys and games instead of video games at first, but I did find this there.

>>371213
It usually goes for around $25-$30 so I say you did good.

Far out.

This is the first cool thing I've seen on NY's shitty craigslist in months

I think it is Amazon

is this a setup? we should probably all call

I'm selling my nintendo nes with games, ready to sell I'm done playing. The games include Mario 1-3, ninja gaiden 1-3, double dragon/battletoads, battletoads, chip and dale 1-2, Zelda 1-2 gold, Dr mario, contra 1-3, duck tales 1-2, castlevania 1-3. Taking best offer

Shit, I should snatch that up. Can't Duck Tales 2 go for $80 on its own pretty easily?

Tonight...

>>375151
Depending on the price I't could be worth it for Ducktales 2 and chip and dale 2 alone.

>>375151
>>375172

That guy has good taste in nintendo games, either way.

Huh, never seen one of these before.

at a bar

The only one retro in my town is without pictures:

"I have a Nintendo game system with 3 controllers, a game genie video game enhancer, 7 games ( space mutants, paperboy, tetris, super mario bros. 3, r.c. pro am , marble madness, and pin bot. Im selling all for 150.00 dollars or best offer."

I really hate these people who think the NES is worth this much. None of those games are even valuable. People like this who value the NES this much are why I still don't have one.

Is this a good deal, guys?

>>375190
That kinda looks like something my local hospital use to have set up in the kids waiting room.

Nothing
Nobody is selling a fucking thing
Except for PS3, 360, and DS games
Not a fucking thing

Somebody is selling an old Alienware laptop for $2500, though
Hideously outdated and around 3x more expensive than my desktop I just built which outpowers it by leagues.

Just holy fuck
why would you sell something like that thinking it has value

>>375190

These things used to cost out the ass. Very popular with disabled kids in the 90s, or if you saw one getting wheeled into your hospital room you knew you were in for a good time

>>375204
Jump on that shit. Mario Kart 64 and Mario Party are great multiplayer games and also held their value pretty well.

>>375204
If the controllers work, yes

>>375204

The price is right. its worth about that much if not more. Shit banjo tooie itself is worth $30 I think.

>>375240
20 max, anything over would be cib

>>375194
>in south atlanta

Umm... l-like Thomasville Heights, Anon?

>>375151
Yes it can, and I really want Ducktales 2. There is no contra 3 for the NES, though...

>>375225
I'm a little bit concerned about buying duplicates. There's two copies of DK64 there and I've already got Mario Kart 64 and Perfect Dark. Not to mention I've got an N64 system and two controllers. I suppose I could always turn around and sell the ones I don't want/need.

Upon further examination though, this was put up two months ago. The person may not even have them anymore.

>>375195
I'm assuming that it won't sell, considering you can get an NES for $25-30 plus shipping on ebay or amazon.

>>375204
>MP3 in itself is $30
>MK64 is $25
Hop on that shit

>>375323
Contra Force, probably.

>>375195
I'd contact the seller, offer $80-90. Unless he's got boxes and instructions for the majority of that stuff, he's dreaming asking $150.

If he gets snippy with you, just be up front and say that his stuff isn't worth what he's asking. If he's sticking to his guns, let him keep his NES stuff.

>>375358
I really doubt he wants those shit games anyway.

>>375151
>this perfect video game taste


I would believe this is a scam somehow. Still would not stop me from trying

>>375373
Paperboy, Tetris, SMB3, RC Pro Am, and Pin Bot are most definitely not shit titles in my opinion.

Oh fuck, some guy three streets down is selling Chrono T., Earthbound, SMW, Killer Instinct and Ogre Battle for 70$ or best offer.

worth it?

heh

>>375498

This fucking guy. He has a whole list of shit he wants to buy and rarely offers more than $5 for games. Here's a few gems.

Nintendo NES GAMES
NINTENDO SYSTEM..... $15 FOR COMPLETE ........$10 FOR INCOMPLETE......$5 FOR BROKEN

Super Nintendo SNES GAMES
SUPER NINTENDO SYSTEM..... $15 FOR COMPLETE ........$10 FOR INCOMPLETE......$5 FOR BROKEN

Nintendo 64 without controllers 25$
Pokemon Stadium-5
Kirby The Crystal Shards-10$
Donkey Kong 64- 8$

Gonna try offering him $40. Is this a decent deal? I'd probably just flip the system for trade-in credit somewhere, anyway.

The price and the games aren't bad or anything, it's just that there is absolutely nothing rare about those games. It's the most typical N64 collection.

what the fuck else would it have?

I search Craigslist all of the time for old games, but I never find anything local. Is it allowed to ask a seller if they could ship?

>>376120
Speaking of Milwaukee, though:

http://racine.craigslist.org/vgm/3653160461.html

It's a shame this guy isn't very willing to split it up. Nobody is going to make an offer for all of that. That would be absurd. And although he says he'd part with single pieces, I am willing to bet he'd be really unreasonable with the prices.

Not a game, but an arcade stick for a retro console.

Not really into arcade sticks so I have no idea if this is a good deal, but seems pricy to me.

>>376154
Jesus! Hes definitely gonna regret selling his collection one day!

>>376258

You can get those brand new and in box for about $20 on ebay, and that's including shipping. The stick itself is dog shit anyways.

>>376265
Youtube it, really neat console. Not sure if it's worth $450 though

>>376309
Which Freeport? There are ton of these around the US.

>>376329
New York

>>376278
It's not. Certainly not 450.. Though, you will pay a pretty penny just for shipping, if you order one online. They weigh quite a bit.

>>376309
Not really retro, but on the other side of the spectrum

Can I convert this into a MAME machine?

If so, 80€ seems like a steal

>>376146
Anyone?

>>376308
I'm in Lansing, I emailed the guy a while ago but haven't heard anything back yet. It was kind of a spur of the moment decision though, and I'm not sure I can be dropping 140 bucks on video games at the moment. As much as I want it, I think I'm going to pass it up. You should totally go for it, man. I hope it's still available.

>>376389
