March 2013 Item Get! Pick Up Thred.

[segamer]

Now that I'm looking up prices, I don't feel as great about the pickup.

Lot's of $2-5 stuff it seems, and I paid about $2.57 per cart.  I have no clue about NES game value because it's been so long since I collected, and this guy just wouldn't provide a list so I could check.  Lesson learned I suppose.  Still, I don't fee like I got screwed, just not a rally great deal

I don't plan on trading/selling a ton of it.  Mostly just the doubles and some of the sports stuff.  Luckily it's mostly stuff that I'd be happy to have on my shelves.  I really wanted to grab it to kicks start my NES collection again and give me an excuse to make NES covers, which I've been DYING to do

There are a few decent games in there, nothing that looks like its high in value. At almost $4 a cart I don't think I would have paid $180 though...

Are you planning on selling them or doing something else with them?

I think you need new maths  (there are 70 games)

If you where to piece it out, you'd make a little more than you paid for it but it would be a lot of work to find buyers because there aren't many desirable titles.

@Wiggy

Bad Dudes
Double Dragon 2
Dr. Mario
Pinball
Ice Climber
Rad Racer
Skate Or Die
Solar Jetman
Nintendo World Cup

I may be willing to take a few off your hands with the trade we are doing, That I will hopefully finally complete soon.  
Maybe use some for Repros or something.

Well, like I said, I bought em for me, not to resell. So I'm not too worried about it

Still, If you want to get rid of a duplicate or 2, I think The only dupe you have that I have is Spy Hunter.
Are you going to wait until Onion cases get to case them up or are you going to disembowel some UGCs?

Well, I'd say you got your money's worth if they are just for yourself. If your Gyromite games happens to have the Famicom converters in them, they are worth some $$$$.

[wiggy]

They totally don't. Was the first thing i checked when I got home


But, this should make up for my meh NES pickup. $50 bucks total. MMS is complete

[tiktektak]

Nice pickup!

Mega Man looks like he had a bit too much of 'ye ol' white powder!

[wiggy]

Yeah he does LOL!

The cart is minty mint!  The box is pretty damned good, but the manual has some folks and marker on the cover. 

No longer has marker on the cover, and folks will soon be gone...

[Nacho3]

Traded in a bunch of common Genesis games that i got in a lot that I only wanted about 5 games from. I received $65 trade credit and picked up these and still have $2 to spare.


Pokemon Mystery Dungeon (GBA) New
Super Mario Advance (GBA) CIB
Duck Tales 2 (Famicom)
32MB Memory Card (PS2)
Gears of War Limited Collector's Edition (360) CIB
Odama (GCN) CIB-No Mic
Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition (PS2) CIB
S-Video Cable (PS1, 2 & 3) New
Extension Cable (GCN)

Some I will be keeping for my collection and a few will be resold which reminds me, I think I'm gonna post a trade thread sometime soon because it seems like nobody wants to buy my stuff on ebay any more.

It's not just in the Gyromite games... http://famicomworld.com/workshop/articles/nes-cart-converters/

It took me about a year to find a Gyromite with the converter in it in the wild... Ended up finding one at a local game shop for $5 I think.... then like 2 weeks later I found another one at a V-Stock (Chain used media store) for $3.

[redsox2012]

I've found only 2 NES games with Famicom converters in the wild.  One was Hogan's Alley, the other was Pinball.

[wiggy]

I checked all the 5 screw games. In fact, I've actually been buying $1 five-screw games for years for this purpose. It's the only time I've purchased NES games in the last 10 years

[Azazell0]

I usually buy loose games and then use this site to make covers for myself, but I got an offer from a friend of a friend for these scandinavian CIB's that was too good to pass by.

[destindude04u]

Good score gotta love all of those games
