that DKC Strat guide.... memories

thats neat goodwill stuff, never seen an auction/pickup thing before

Well I live about 20 miles from there depot and so I selected local pickup instead of paying about $10 shipping per item.

Well, I spoke too soon,apparently the person who posted it played a race with other people, I drove 30 mins to get there to be told that someone just came it, wtf

It was a N64 w/ 35 games and 6 controllers for 50$, games included ocarina x2, mario kart 64, banjo kazooie x2, all solid titles like 300$ worth

BUT

27 days yet sir

That said, this edition is by far one of the best I have seen in terms of collectors editions, everything in it is exceptional quality

[palmer6strings]

That's pretty sweet man. I like the Dead Space Games.

And a nice pickup Nacho.

Where did you find those great games for $6 each, Palmer? I've been trying to find Super Double Dragon, but my local are CraigsList is kaput.

[Nacho3]

  Wow, I haven't been checking prices of SNES games since I only have 3 and don't plan to collect any in the near future. Just by checking ebay real quick on those titles you have easily 5 or 6 that go for $40 or more. Now my Saturn games don't seem like as good of a deal, although I'm particularly proud of Saturn Bomberman for only $25.  

[SasoriSoren]

Somebody sent you those in blue DVD cases? I didn't think they would look that good on the Saturn games but now I am considering that for when I get  a Saturn collection worth casing!

(Now that's blue for Saturn, Red for Dreamcast, Purple for 3DO?)

[tiktektak]

Nice pickups nacho though those replacement cases on the Saturn games make me kinda sad.....

Are the inserts cut in those as well?

[madrocsz]

I think when I originally started out I used blue for dreamcast and purple for saturn, since I have gotten all original cases. They are far from the best quality cases but if you don't mind they being complete, especially considering how much more a complete one costs in most cases (and how everyone I purchased a saturn game from is a retard and I always get broken cases)

[Azarkhel]

Saturn is one of those collections I refuse to go custom with. Theres just something so charming about those big retarded jewel cases.

[wiggy]

^^^ I'm with you, even though it's my most busted looking collection.  I've got jewel case JP games, US tall box games, and a LOT of DVD case games that I cased up since they were loose discs.  The lack of uniformity kills me, but I can't pull those stupid, gigantic cases off the shelf.  Just can't.

[AO007]

I live in new orleans and its true, mainly due to right now its super bowl weekend, mardi gras madness etc.

That said, my games are pretty much in the safe room of the house, I pity the fool who tries. That and they may get overwhelmed with options to steal lol

Makes sense. It's funny, I used to think that thieves more commonly tried to rob houses at night, but it seems the more common method is to wait until the house is empty and then try to break in, usually during the daytime.
