[Anonymous No.4748534]

this week I got these games plus two super nintendos and one nes and like seven controllers for 150. I'm pretty stoked. I'll post more pictures if anyone is interested in looking.

pickups thread? have you gotten anything cool lately?

[Anonymous No.4748553]

>>4748534
That's a really good deal. Did you rob some grandma at a garage sale or something?

[Anonymous No.4748562]

>>4748553
nope it was someone my brother went to high school with and he's 35 so these were all her games from when she was a kid.

[Anonymous No.4748625]

>>4748534

"she"

theres like 8 games in there that are just casino or game show games.

doubt.

Got a used N64 that came with a controller with one of those replacement gamecube style sticks that everyone says has sensitivity that's too high, surprise surprise, it works fine. Came with two throw-away sports titles, and a defective controller pak, after some bitching they've offered to send me another controller pak.

Also picked up an everdrive and spent the weekend completing Mario 64 and Diddy Kong Racing.

Also picked up a copy of pokemon silver and a transfer pak so I can use those with pokemon stadium. I really wish I didn't have to unlock those fast forward functions for the gameboy tower, because I just want to power level some pokemon to use in the N64 game.

I've gotten both NES Metal Gear games recently. My MG collection is almost complete, I'm only missing Peace Walker, and both MSX games, which I doubt i'll ever get.

she lived with her grandmother who played those games.

here is a picture of the box before i took everything out and went through it. there are also game manuals including an nes and a zapper manual.

my bad

[Anonymous No.4748652]

>>4748626
that's awesome i always wondered about those replacement sticks. i have several burned out n64 controllers.

[Anonymous No.4748654]

>>4748625
there's a princess tomato in there and a darkwing duck though

[Anonymous No.4749026]

>>4748626
You might try cleaning the contacts on that controller pak. I had one once that wouldn't work until I cleaned it.

[Anonymous No.4750191]

>>4749026
Are you sure you aren't thinking of the transfer pak? I'll clean the contacts and see if anything changes. Best case scenario i'll have two functioning controller paks. Worst case scenario, the replacement is also shitty and I have to find a new one.

>>4748534
You've blown away the average nu-/vr/let with their handful of ebay/thrift store finds so knock yourself out. If a thread full of pretentious tripfags shiposting dies for it, even better.

[Anonymous No.4750236]

$26. I already had lose carts of a few of these. Sold Bass Masters, F-Zero, Kart, Yoshi's Island, and Super Game Boy for $50 to cover my cost. It's nice having a copy of Mario RPG after selling my copy years ago.

[Anonymous No.4750524]

Only found this at the flea market last weekend. Mega Man didn't end up working even after buffing the disc, but it was only $2 so I decided to take the chance.

In total everything was $9

[Anonymous No.4750548]

>>4748534
Most of that games are shovelware

[Anonymous No.4750891]

>>4750548
It's not the deal of the century, but it's definitely a good deal. OP got a great deal. Don't be jealous.

[Anonymous No.4750915]

>OP is samefagging his thread to convince himself he got a great deal when there's like 5 games worth playing in that collection
>and said 5 aren't even rare

Ay caramba

[Anonymous No.4751191]

>>4750236
wow that's really awesome. I want a super mario kart box, I remember opening that game a s a kid still.

[Anonymous No.4751209]

>>4750524
that's cool, phantasy star is an unlikely find at a flea market

[Anonymous No.4751227]

>>4750915
>samefagging
with this post i will have 9 posts in this thread. why would I need to convince myself? it's obviously a good deal and you and the rest of the no fun patrol are just buttmad that anyone is happy even for a microsecond.

[Anonymous No.4751238]

OP got ripped off

[Anonymous No.4751262]

>>4751209
Yeah, I end up finding something there 95% of the time I go. Sometimes it's just a cheap Xbox game and sometimes it's a copy of einhander for a couple of bucks.

[Anonymous No.4751283]

>>4751227
If you find Conker's for 10 bucks, that's a great deal
If you find a collection of shovelware and some consoles for 150, that's not a good deal
I doubt you'll even play half of these and having games you don't play just cluttering your shelves is just dumb. That's precious space you could be using for games you love and actually play often
Also 9 posts in a 16 post thread is a lot, my dude

[Anonymous No.4751305]

>>4751191
Most of the boxes are far from mint. And Illusion Of Gaia has the map/enemy guide but no manual. I'm not complaining though. If have paid more than I did for just carts. Also, F-Zero X is a rental copy with security stickers, but since I only keep what I play, it's no loss.
Oh, and whoever owned these originally has 100% saves in all with battery saves. Must have been an awesome kid or a turbo autist.

>That's precious space you could be using for games you love and actually play often
this guy gets it. Pic related is a lot i got at a garage sale. $40 for everything. there was many more games for sale but whats the point in buying NHL/Madden/Baseball games that are just never going to get played and are impossible to sell.

[Anonymous No.4751323]

OP here. here is another picture of some of the games

>>4751262
I see cheap stuff sometimes like I got Tony Hawk for 4 dollars recently.

[Anonymous No.4751332]

>>4751305
I like rental stickers, they're cool.

>>4751283
>>4751320
yeah I know there are some duds in there but there were some good ones too. and even most of the duds are ones I have never even played.

[Anonymous No.4751339]

here is the same picture minus my foot

[Anonymous No.4751367]

whoo that is a good pull right there, certainly that is a winner

Well whaddaya know.
Seems to have worked. I guess the seller didn't think to clean off his merch. Makes me wonder how it passed his "one time test" to begin with. I guess I'm getting two memory paks for the price of one.

[Anonymous No.4752403]

>>4751503
Fucking nevermind I guess, all the data is gone. Good thing all I played was just a little bit of Snowboard Kids and Doom 64 but I did lose a lot of progress in Doom for playing on hard.

It's weird though because I didn't get a message saying my controller pak was corrupt this time, the data was just gone.

[Anonymous No.4752591]

>>4751367
That depends on when he got it. If >>4751320
got that deal in the past few years then it would be an amazing deal. However, if he paid that much over 10 years ago, back when almost all /vr/ games were cheap then he might've even paid "too much".
That being said, I wouldn't mind buying such a collection for such a ridiculous low price but to be honest, even now most SNES games are still affordable if you make enough in a month and save around a quarter of it for nearly a year.

[Anonymous No.4753393]

This was $30 at the flea market today. I already had most of it, but I can easily resell them for more than I spent.

[Anonymous No.4753578]

>>4753393
damn, FFV in box?
I got all the PS1 FFs for $33 about a year ago, though 8 and origins were greatest hits and 7 didn't have a case

[Anonymous No.4753605]

>>4753578
>FFV in box

I was surprised. I never see imports at the flea market.

[Anonymous No.4753690]

>>4753605
the only imports I've seen were some one piece musou and a PAL ratchet and clank game, that's a neat find

[Anonymous No.4753850]

>>4753393
that's a pretty great deal

[Anonymous No.4753998]

All this for $90
Wasn't sure If I should get kings field because I might not like it but I'll see

[Anonymous No.4754715]

Not entirely retro related. Star Fox was $11 from a Toys R Us, the 3DS/Animal Crossing was $20 off Craigslist, and the rest I got from the flea market and garage sales for $18.

[Anonymous No.4754753]

Stupid phone poster.

[Anonymous No.4757179]

although nothing too exciting as i didn't get some insane deal but i bought myself a Neo Geo AES and a tester game to ensure it worked

going to get one of those fancy flash cartridges that are coming out, the NeoSD is tempting but $480 is wait and see money when there appears to be significantly improved versions coming out soon.

[Anonymous No.4757667]

>>4757179
I still don't have an aes either. I want one but in gonna have to wait to find a deal

[Anonymous No.4757816]

>>4757667
i picked mine up for $238 shipped with controller, official power cord, and official composite cable.

Wow you got ripped off. I see two copies both for $6 shipped on eBay. Custom Robo is also $12. Why would you do that?

>>4757830
Huh? It was $30 including shipping. I thought that was a fair price.

[Anonymous No.4758304]

>>4757986
also got RE2 for N64 and a gamecube for $25 on saturday, literally nothing on sunday

yeah I'm sorry I wasn't gon a say anything but those should have been way cheaper. I got pilotwings 64 hp new for 10 from a store so 15 loose is insane

[Anonymous No.4759403]

Got one of these
Want to see what its like, im expecting crap

[Anonymous No.4759872]

>>4758746
Even on Ebay PW64 is only around 10 dollars. It's not exactly insane as you would call it but it's quite a difference on that scale.

[Anonymous No.4760797]

>>4759403
well it definitely looks horrible
