Another Craigslist ad, another haul.  This time though, I got them to come to ME.  Here's what I got for $60:



Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back (Greatest Hits, case is cracked and all but I store them in DVD cases anyways)
Wario World
Viewtiful Joe
Viewtiful Joe 2
Resident Evil 3: Nemesis
Resident Evil

The 5 Gamecube games are all complete with manuals and in very good condition, the cases have no scuffs or anything.  The owner clearly cared about her games.  Even the discs are near mint, I see no obvious blemishes on any of them.  Its games like these I love adding to my collection.  And the fact that I paid less than these guys with their Madden '13 makes me happy.

Hmm... $60 actually seems somewhat overpriced imo, save for maybe the Resident Evil games(I recall RE3 being worth a'lot... heaven knows why)

It's not the deal of the century.  Cheaper than Ebay (also considering condition).  Here's the breakdown:

Resident Evil 3: $13
Resident Evil: $15 (she wanted $20)
Viewtiful Joe: $7 (she wanted $11)
Viewtiful Joe 2: $7 (she wanted $11)
Warioworld: $11 (she wanted $15)
Crash Bandicoot: $7

So if you took out the RE games, you would have only paid like $32 for great games.

RE shouldn't be worth that much... :/

It's not quite the haul that Madrocsz scored, but I bought Rocket Knight Adventures and Dynamite Headdy for the Genesis for $1.50 each this week.  They were cartridge only, but I cased them with covers from TCP and they look great in my collection.

I actually never played either during the Genesis era, but playing them now I realize that I missed some good games when I was a kid.

LOTS of broken plastic bits.  Pretty much everything that supported the DVD drive :(

But, nothing a Dremel, drill, some nuts, bolts, and aluminum spacers couldn't fix ;)

Oh, also had a cut in one of the ribbon wires.  Luckily it was pretty thick, so I could easily patch it with wire.

Me too!

Hmm...

Buuuuuut, I gotta wait until I have them ALL!  I've got the red one coming from Azarkhel, and then it's on to the really rare and pricey styles :(

Purple, Pokémon, Mother 3, FFIV, and Super Robot Wars.  Gonna be about 1K+ for those last 4 :-\

Indeed they did!  Thanks again!

I was so worried that it would be a total brick (the Q).  Thank goodness is was EXACTLY as Kelly described it.  This poor thing did not have a pleasant trip across the Atlantic :(
