games sell but who's buying?

[noemann]

Anyone here interested in buying some PAL games?
I want to make it perfectly clear: I just want scans of boxes and manuals. I'm even willing to pay people just for scans. I can't even get people to scan for money. Amazing! Well, I am buying games for scans but I don't want the damn games. I have decided that if I cannot sell them, then I will destroy them. I will make a new channel on youtube called one-less-game. For example, tonight I'm going to tear apart my Super Hockey. I only wanted scans of the damn game. I cannot resell it because NOONE on the planet seems to want it. I will make my first video of one-less-super-hockey by tearing it apart for good scans and photos, then destroying it. Bottom line: I have to pay to get it, I will not give it away for free. If I cannot find a buyer, then I put it away. Lights out.

I have tried ebay but they have a rule that you must sell something before you can post multiple entries. I don't want to wait ten years to unload a useless game IMO.  I don't want to pay 40euro for something and have to sell it for 1euro or even 20euro. I'd like to get what I had to pay or at least close to it but I cannot find buyers with restrictive rules on sites like ebay. I'm moving on.

I am currently stuck with Populous 2, Kawasaki Superbikes, Cool Spot and Populous. I do not want the damn games. I just wanted scans since no one is scanning for us. If anyone here wants to buy or trade, please let me know before I start destroying the games. I've paid 65euro for the lot. Anyone have an offer? I'm looking for cash or trade for CIB to scan.

PS too late for Super Hockey. I'm pissed about that one and I've made up my mind. Destruction is soon. I'll show pics of the chaos :-D

where are you from (to know the shipping cost)?

[noemann]

I'm in Germany. Berlin to be specific.
I was thinking about shipping costs and I remember that someone shipped a gba to me and flattened the box and inlay to fit it in an envelope for cheaper shipping costs. I could flatten the boxes too if it helps.

I'll posts pics.
I forgot to mention that Populous 2, Cool Spot and Kawasaki are all excellent condition with no stickers. All games have been tested and work perfectly. Populous has a box and manual but they are not acceptable. The manual is taped and the box is damaged. The cart is excellent condition and works well (I've tested it too.)

Pretty much your thinking making threats against destroying your video games is going to make people buy them for the amount your asking?  Good luck but I think you are out of line. I don't see it making your games sell.

[sLpFhaWK]

I don' t think he is out of line, hes just asking if people would be interested in buying games he bought specifically to get scans for this community. If you're interested in buying them for the cost around what he paid then send him a message, if not then he doesn't care because he'll destroy the games and possibly generate some revenue from youtube on the hits/views.

Thats how I looked at it. He's not threatening anyone with destroying his own property it's not your money hes throwing away its his.

[KMSoulja]

Sure well hopefully it makes noeman happy at least. I guess it's not much different than people waiting in line to get a video game console and destroying it for YouTube hits.

Me, me, MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
That is after I get more mulah and if I don't have them yet.

broke down Super hockey. I will scan it as perfect as I can get it for us. Manual staples removed so good scans coming. I have photos of the pcb for us too.

apparently no one wants this game. LOL.
I figure that if I had to blow my cash on it, then it should be buried.

i'll post scans soon for all to enjoy. Hopefully some pretty covers can be made.

I like you. You're a great member. I'll be posting scans soon. I hope that you enjoy the scans. I enjoy helping the community get scans. Game prices are too high and if you enjoy a scan too, then perhaps I can make you happy. At least you will not have to buy it and be stuck with it like me.

check back this week for scans.

if you really want them, make me an offer. pay for shipping and you can pay me when you get the cash. You know that I trust you. I don't want them, hopefully I've made it clear. I just want the scans for us.

let me know ...

[Arseen]

I wants them all including Super Hockey (it's not yet beyond despair).

I shoulds be able to buy them in about a week.

[noemann]

ok Arseen. You can have them. Please 
I have no intentions of charging for Super Hockey. I only paid 5euro. You can have it. I've already scanned it once.
I'll scan it again then pack it up for you.

I really enjoy the box scans. I like to look at the artwork and learn from it.
I like to help TCP and contribute scans but I cannot resell these games. I figure that ebay shoppers want the price to be 1 euro.
I don't mind losing 5-10 euro in reality, because it means I got scans for us for only 5-10 euro instead of 30-600 euro.
I feel like i'll be stuck with these games forever.

anyway, i'll pack them up. I'll be happy to unload them.

sent an email to you.
Have a pleasant night.

by the way, Mr. Nutz CIB is en route. I should have it tomorrow.
I will scan and upload newest scans this weekend.

I will stick with games that I want to keep for now on unless the price is good.

Goodnight friends. Happy cover making.

That seems like a big waste, too buy a game you dont like. Just to make a scan. Then to smash it with no care to play it.  

It all seems like a big waste of money and time.

Even shitty games can be recycled into reproduction carts, or used for spare parts.

If there is a game you want a scan of just ask most likely someone has it sitting on a shelf.

It just seems very counter to the goals of the site. As most members are here to make cases to protect their games.

No offense but your post comes across like a bank robber with hostages, negotiating for their release.
