/vr/ - Retro Games

I want to marry this man...if I can't then the least i'll do is copy this into my local Craigslist

Also, pic is a deal i've yet to grab cuz the seller hasn't fucking responded in over a week

Seller's offering me a SNES console (no hookups/controllers) for $20

I'm skeptical about buying consoles only, but considering the inflation of SNES prices, deal?

>>977052
I wouldn't. You can probably find one with all the hookups for that price if you're patient.

>>977036
The joystick looks broken anyway. The stick isn't supposed to be sitting up off the base like that.

I have so much of this shit saved up it's not funny

I just want to learn moon and live in Japan. They take so much better care of all their shit, and it's way cheaper too. A boxed copy of Mother 2 is like 15 dollars, and a super Famicom in box with a few games is around 100.

>>977129

>>977128
>Good Label
>$40

>>977014
I'd buy that for a dollar.

>>977134

>>977118
There are boxed copies of Mother 2 on eBay in the $30 range. There's a boxed Super Famicon for $50 as well. You can get this kind of stuff without living in Japan, it just costs a bit more sometimes. Just learn Japanese. You don't need to move anywhere.

>>977143
You do have to deal with shipping costs, though. For example, the Super Famicom I mentioned is $75 shipping but that still adds up to not much more than the $100 price you gave.

"xbox has red circle" is the only factual thing in this ad.

>>977143

The shipping costs would be killer, though. And watching all the tamagee segments in GCCX makes me pine for a retro gaming "culture." I guess I'm a weeb, but whatever.

>>977150
Individual games appear to ship from around $6 to $10. I know it costs a bit more, but it's not like you're getting stuck with insane bullshit like the prices in this thread.

>>977145
I don't want to sound like a creep but I've never seen another anon from SC in the six years I've been lurking on /v/. Of course I head over to /vr/ and find one. How's life in Marion anon?

I've never checked gumtree before but I was weirded out by seeing my suburb in one of the screencaps below.

The prices are completely bonkers. Who expects $200 for just a stock console?

Also I've seen talk over the last week or so of a N64 price bubble, I seem to have missed that can anyone fill me in?

>>977130

There's a gamegear at the Sumter flea market for 60 dollars, has a bad capacitor and the sound is of ripping ass.

>>977006

Baited the guy, he completely dodged my request to show pictures, his response was "do you have any old school nintendo games?"

>>977910
Say you do and send him a stock image of a gamecube game.

Why do they only accept texts or phone calls? What's wrong with emails?

>>977921

Huh?

>>977931
Try sending him a stock picture of something rare like he's asking for.

>>977119
He's lying.

>>977052

My apologies, I did exactly what you said and the huh is in response to his nonchalant email as pictured

>>978615
Is that game every bit as rare as people say?

It has to be some Earthbound-esque price bullshit.

How much can I sell a still-factory-sealed mint-condition E3 1999 Polo?

I have a feeling it's probably the last mint condition one in the world, could I get it sold for somewhere in the thousands to a collector?

It is not worth THAT much

I don't know how I feel about this one. On one hand, all of that shit is in really nice condition. On the other, do I really need a backpack for it?

>>979584
assuming it works $50 is a good to fair deal on that. System normally goes for $50 on it's own. Not a great deal but fair if you really want the system.

I can't stand buying shit on craigslist. I will say you can get a deal on more expensive shit like Televisions and prebuilt computers. Don't bother with videogames. people want the same value they see on amazon/ebay while forgetting all the fees associated with selling an item through those resources.

>>979590
>>979592
$800? Haha. No.

>>979589
>not checking the link.
anway, it's most of the manuals, the Zelda 3DS and the games in pic and they guy is asking $800.
Being board enough to do the math it should all come to about $550 range. The books are not in that good condition.

The sad thing is that someone will buy it thinking that they just got a wonderful deal, when he really just bought a 60 dollar external hard drive and copied some pirated games from his computer over to it. And he's probably done this countless times, making a fortune off of people's stupidity.

Oh man this pisses me off to no end. "Umm it's a screen and the screen doesn't work ... $150." Or they try and sell some busted Playstation at $100 "for parts." Are you fuckin' kidding me? Parts? Like what, the capacitors? The frame? The wires? You want me to recycle the copper? Where the fuck do you get $100???

>>984854
yeah $100 would be steep but "for parts" commonly refers to salvaging easily removeable parts out of the system like the disc drive if it is still good as proprietary parts like that are hard to come by. sometimes the entire shell of the system will be used if the working system has a damaged shell.

i fixed up my snes using a donor system and i think it turned out nicely.

>>977052
$20 is pretty high but I'd be willing to pay it if it was a 1chip
>>977075
Someone's pulled the rubber through. There's another rubber sitting there beside it even. Someone was a puller. Easy to put back though, just take the joystick barely apart and put it through from the back.
>>978738
That sucks, Dude.
>>984854
>>984869
"For Parts" is a tinkerer's bread and butter as long as you're familiar with the hardware and the sellers are correct about condition. Phones are the classic example. Buy one $300 phone with a busted screen for $50, buy one with dead motherboard for $50 and combine them into one working phone that only cost you $50 in the end.

>>977052
>>984919

This reminds me of a similar classified. It was on Kijiji, because I am a Canadian (hoser), but this retard wanted $120 for a computer that was probably worth about $20-40 at most. I looked into it because my Compaq Armada (which I got for $40 on eBay) had fried, and when I called and offered a realistic price for it, the answer was no. No ad has rustled my jimmies more. Link related, it's the ad.

-Aigina no Yogen

-Gegege no Kitaro
-Penguin-kun Wars

For Famicom, take all for $30. I wish I wasn't broke ;_;

>>990534
> take all for $30

Haha, they are sold for 105 Yen each in Japan. A

>>990503

$30-$40

>>990538
yeah. Those are only probably worth about $10 in total.

>>990538
Yeah, but after shipping they won't be 525 yen.

>>990538
I know, I just wanna start some sort of Famicom collection. In a couple years when I'm not broke as a joke and have saved, I'll be shipping stuff back from Glorious Nippon by the skid-load.

I'm suddenly interested in doing a MAME conversion...

Shit, I may have actually found a good deal: Nintendo 64 set CIB with racing wheel also CIB and 4 games for $100. What say?

http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/vgm/4000397854.html

>>990591
Not a terrible deal. I had that same wheel/pedals for PS1. Its a decent product, but for games of that era, you're probably better off just using a controller anyway.

Offer them 70-80, see if they're desperate enough to get rid of it.

Not retro but is this person serious ?

>>990602
Yeah, that thing is clearly the Xbox One. Wonder where the Kinect is though.

>>990602
It's not named right, but I'd probably buy it if it were in my area. I never had an Xbox, and there's probably a few titles I'd want to play on it.

>>990849
It's not that great a deal to be honest. Here in Florida, XBoxes go for $20-25 a piece, more if there are games. Like this listing priced at $60 with 22 games. Not all bad games either.

Here's another, I'm wondering what I should ask for the two Star Wars games since the others don't look that interesting.

I want to get my hands on that Ghost Loin

So uh, I should probably pick these all up, right?

>>/v/204875212

woops
>>>/v/204875212

>>991184
Depends. I'd never go for it because I prefer my Genesis games cib (or with box or case at least). If you're not into that its honestly not too bad of a deal. If you're big on video quality (i.e. care about the motherboard revision of the genesis) make sure to test it out to make sure it doesn't have the shitty Samsung video encoder in it.

tl;dr: not a bad deal if you just wanna play some kick-ass genesis

>>990474
.... that's not the worst deal for CT + manual and map. Definitely not bad deals on his other games either.

>>991193
>>991357
Thanks. Polite sage.

I found a Sega Saturn that comes with the Nights controller and a regular one.

Should I do it?

>>996271
Context: it's in the hood.

>>996274
Not sure about the value, but if that is the case, then don't go to their location. Have them meet you somewhere public.

>>996292
I've Seen Mega Man 1-6 go for around $200 on ebay in past months.

>>996271
Bring a gun, meet inside or in the parking lot of a McDonalds or some other high-traffic location.

If you don't have a CHL/CCW, don't let anyone know you're carrying, and only do it for this type of trip. The whole purpose of concealing a gun is that no one knows you have one, and if no one knows, you'll have no legal trouble.

It's easy to bait people to rob them via Craigslist. Post some high-dollar shit, meet in a shitty location, rob the sucker, change the bait, repeat until you try to rob the wrong motherfucker and catch a bullet. Thug lyfe, niggah. Fuck thugs.

>>996325
IMO if you call the person and they sound like a black thug then don't go. I have a friend who works in the gold-buying business, and that's basically his policy. People he's worked with have been robbed, shot, carjacked, etc. because they've dealt with thugs. It's not worth getting killed over a NES.

>>996337
And by don't go, I mean don't go at all, even to a public meeting. Whether you're in public or not doesn't matter to these people. They'll just follow your car after you leave.

Not Craigslist but I might possibly go for a Famicom with power cord for $15. What should I look for or ask before I make the purchase?

>>996616
nothing. It's a cheap famicom, buy it if it works. You'll probably need a transformer to have it be powered accurately though.

And you know, like the last guy said, just be careful anon.

>>990591

Kind of curious about these. Been wanting X3 for a long time, but I don't care to blow $150 on it. Assuming I could haggle them down, what would be a reasonable pricepoint?

>>997471
I don't think X3 should be worth anywhere over $70, but considering that's a pawn shop selling it you'll probably have a hard time haggling them down to anything below $100.

>>998591
You really should have told him you were interested, then have him meet somewhere incredibly inconvenient for him, then just never show up. Or maybe even worse, show up and then change your mind.

What the actual fuck.

>>998834
Nobody said these people were wise consumers

>>998830
Oh hes far from apologetic.

I even posted a link to the amazon page and he obviously didn't click the link.

I just sent him 3 pictures I took with the snippet tool, underlining the prices even so I'll see what he says.

>>998653
The funny thing is I did do this in another thread a couple of hours ago. The man had a sealed mint condition Adventure of Link, the NES equivalent of a greatest hits at that. And he wanted 800 or a macbook pro. Well I did the same thing that I did with the guy selling rob because even mint the games only worth about 250 on amazon.

But he didn't get mad. Instead he still offered me the game so I threw together some amature pictures of a Macbook Air off Ioogle images and told him I would trade for that. He took the bait and as you can see.

>>977014
I might know this person.

I agree. At the very least if something is dirty sell it for less. I mean I've seen some really fucking dirty games that people wanted about ebay prices on. Are you fucking joking me son?

Not craigslist, but I just saw this. Is this nigga serious?

I don't know why people think every videogame in the world is worth a million dollars. Gen 2 shit was already too old by the time 90s kids were in their diapers

I looked at his other auctions and he was selling "heavy sixer" 2600s as well, for over 200 dollars. I thought maybe this was one too, but no, as far as I can tell this is just a regular six switch 2600. I mean, I saw the same thing at a local place yesterday for 50 bucks and I thought even that was too much.

>>1000849

Model 2s were most certainly never anywhere close to $400 MSRP.

Donkey Kong with box for the Atari 2600, opened, for $5
Is that a notably good deal /vr/? I don't normally deal with Atari but it's Donkey Kong we're talking about here

>>1004313
There is absolutely zero demand for that game and you can get it for a couple dollars pretty much anywhere. One in a box is very common.

>>1004325
Hmm, alright thanks. Atari clearly isn't my field of expertise

>>1004332
There is little no demand for anything Atari nowadays. It is not abnormal to find a box of atari games and a working, complete atari for $30.
