July 2014 Pick Ups Thread

[JakeHC]

I may have a pretty huge haul at a pretty hefty but reasonable price tag. Based off the price tag, I'd probably be paying about $850 for this bundle, PAL prices are huge.

But if I sold everything I'd end up with a profit of 500 or so. But I plan to keep about half of it. So really, I'll be getting a sweet deal for 200 bucks or so. I'll post a picture of it if I get it this arvo.

I wish I had your Master System games.

Are theses rare in the U.S.? Got the Master System lot for €16 which is like $25.

Master system games are pretty rare where I'm located. You just never see them in the wild.

I agree.  If I ever see a game in the wild it is always hang on/ safari hunt or great football.  I am almost done with a complete us set and it has been pretty hard finding complete games.

Got an SNES copy of "Mortal Kombat II" at a local used-game store, plus six CD soundtracks for $31 total.

Okay so in regards to my previous statements here is what I picked up for a hefty $850. However, keep in mind this is PAL land and I estimated everything to be worth ~1300-1400.





I think I did pretty well, everything is in very good condition. Pretty damn stoked.

[Dr.Agon]

wow, that is a lot of Final Fantasy!
nice haul!

Cheers! I'm a huge FF nerd, so that was an awesome pick up. Even though I have majority of it already, it'll level out the cost of everything and I'll get to keep some really cool games as well.

I'm just happy to have the guides for them all too, not that they're needed but a cool bit for a collection. FF8 and FF9 are a bit hard to come by in this condition, and when I do they're a good 50-80 bucks

Now I need to buy a PSP to play the PSP games

Excellent pick up you got there

[Desolis]

@JakeHC Nice grab man!  Some good DS titles in there. My wife really enjoys the Professor Layton series, and the guides are a nice pick also.

Megaman Battle Network 2 and 4 (Red Sun) for me so far this month. Nabbed them up on the E of Bayness for 15. Already have them in some cases, just need to print off some covers...

Picked up Crysis 3 Hunter Edition and Tomb Raider Underworld on PC for $1 a pop as wal-mart

[Blumpkin]

I did a little retro hunting at dealers in New Hampshire yesterday. I found a couple of decent shops, and spent just a little bit but got some long time wants off my wishlist.



NES Kings of the Beach - $4
NES Infiltrator - Free (B2G1 sale)
GB Motocross Maniacs - $4
SNES Phalanx - $10
Genesis MMPR - $4
Genesis Galaxy Force II - $5
PS1 Granstream Saga - $5

I have a 100% accidental pickup - I had ordered something from Amazon about 2 weeks ago, and yesterday the package arrived. I opened it up, thinking it was mine and it was... Castlevania: Circle of the Moon! I'm sending it back, of course, but still a pick up!
