Those prices are insanely low. Conker for $10? Frame Frame 2 for $10?!!?!?!?! JESUS. Jump on that.


The ones actually worth playing are these:


Panzer Dragoon Orta
Star Wars clone wars/Tetris Worlds
Return to Castle Wolfenstein
Conker live and Reloaded
Red dead Revolver
Breakdown
Black
Metal gear solid 2 substance.
Fatal frame 2
Darkwatch
Advent Rising
Dreamfall The Longest Journey.

The real gems in that are Panzer Dragoon (but make sure you're Xbox isn't a 1.6 or it won't work through component), Conker, Breakdown, Black, Fatal Frame 2, and especially Dreamfall.

Dreamfall The Longest Journey is easily one of the best hidden gems on Xbox, and one of the best adventure games in absolutely years.

Those prices are so damn low I would just offer him a price for the whole lot and see if he takes it. They're not all good games but they're all a good price. If my math is right (did it in my head) he wants $173 so offer $150 or even $100 for the lot maybe he'll be happy to just get rid of them.

I texted and left a voicemail this morning to pick them up but so far I've heard nothing. He posted the ad on the 22nd. I probably waited too long and missed out. Sucks.

Update: He literally texted me back right after I posted last message and had lost almost all hope. I'm arranging to meet him later now. Thanks to all for recommendations.

I would have just made an offer on the entire lot rather then trying to cherry pick. They were clearly priced to move so first come first served.

He already sold Mega Man and Metal Gear, but still has the rest. He changed his mind on Baldur's Gate 2 and now wants $25 so I'm gonna pass as it goes for $30 on ebay.

So for $72 the plan is to pick up Panzer, Wolfenstein, Conker, Red Dead, Breakdown, Black, Fatal Frame 2, Darkwatch, Advent Rising, Dreamfall, Max Payne2, Jade empire, Painkiller, Dino Crisis 3, Indiana Jones, True Crime, Freedom Fighters, Sudeki, Pirates, and Oddworld.

I'm kind of stretching the budget thin at this point, but now he just told me has ps2 games for sale too. I'm only making one trip so I'd like to get everything tonight. Any opinions on these ps2 games? The most I can spend is another $30 or 40 for ps2.

This is what he's got:

Samuarai Western $5

Baldur's Gate 1 $10

Time Crisis $3

Mark of Kri $3

Onimusha Dawn of Dreams $5

Okage $3

Beyond Good and Evil $10 *new unopened

Spent $140 which was a lot more than I planned, but I think it was a pretty decent deal. Thanks for the recommendations. Jade Empire, Chaos Legion, and Advent Rising are sealed. He couldn't find Conker which was a bummer.

Conker might have been to get people to come out.  That game is pretty sought after, especially at that price..

He most likely received a ton of emails from people that just wanted conker. Then sold it off to whomever offered the most money.
That shit happened to me when I drove across the state to pick up a ps1 lot that was supposed to include Tomba. Mad as hell.

Might have been the case, but his place was a real mess so I wouldn't be surprised if he just couldn't keep track of his stuff. He was finding all kinds of stuff while I was there. He had a Gameboy Micro, but it was all scratched up even though I do kind of want one. Also had an original DS, Virtual Boy, bunch of computer games, gameboy games, Dreamcast, little snes system, and a bunch of other stuff. He was getting rid of it all to pay for extra controllers and games for an Xboxone and ps4 preorder.
