July 2015 - Stuff bought by those who survived Juhannus

Hmm how much you want for it?

[OhhNoYouNintenDidnt]

So............I had a guy who literally FOUND this game in his shop a while ago and checked around what was paid to buy it in, and found that it was not very much.

I was insatiably interested and we have literally spent the last 6 months talking about it and negotiating its price. lol.

Well, today was FINALLY the day that we came to an agreement (probably with him just getting sick to death of me!   ) on =



Looking to flip it as I already have my SFC version that fits with every other Megaman game I have the SFC versions for (all apart from Megaman and Bass)......so want to fund the buying of stuff I actually want.

Whos serious? I will happily ship wherever in the world and will split the cost of shipping but I will ONLY send it via a method that gives me proof of delivery, and if its outside of the UK (which I assume it will be, lol) then it will be tracked and signed for.......typically costing around £8/$12 with very careful and diligent packing......so £4/$6 for whoever wants it.

Go!!!  

 

Hmm how much you want for it?

 ......sorry Arseen but I know PRECISELY what it is worth and have recorded on my database of game price trends/tracking many instances of it selling across the world (17 in the last 6 months to be precise)........so, I wont name a price because that loses me the advantage of someone who may have been willing to pay MORE than what I would like for it/value it at.

I will accept serious offers aligned with its typical value but of course take into account the lack of Ebay fees..........I am not expecting or demanding anything more than what it typically sells for, and that price for a CIB copy is pretty consistent.

I was just curious, and bit interested in manual (bit better than my curreny) and box (no gots).

So you bugged a guy for a year to sell it to you at a knock down price, just to flip it immediately?  That's pretty cold!

So you bugged a guy for a year to sell it to you at a knock down price, just to flip it immediately?  That's pretty cold!  

LOL!! I guess...........but this is the only way I have been able to amass a 406 game, 9 system, multiple arcade stick, multiple new special cabinets, 2 superb Bang & Olufsen CRT TV, RGB lead all round, multiple accessory, limited edition, figure's collection in the past 3 years whilst being a jobless student with a mortgage, Mrs, cat and all the associated bills!  

When I got back into to collecting again, my Mrs and I agreed that I would never spend "our money" that we need to live, as we existed (and still do because Ive had a lot of medical problems this past year and so have to prolong my degree) on a shoe string budget.

So at some point, I had £50 to spend.......and from that day forward, I have bought and sold for profit my way to the above collecting state I am in right now, I buy stuff so I can buy what I want! its the only way I can do it...........but rest assured, I am no scalper, I work my ASS off to do this and dedicated a lot of time and effort to the hunt

I actually enjoy the negotiating, the wheeling and dealing, the bargain finding and the general hunt.......almost as much as playing, collecting and displaying it all.  

Ohh and Arseen, no way I am breaking it up of course and selling you the absolutely flawless manual and only general shelf wear on one corner box.  

If anyone is genuinely serious then I will take some better pics in better light tomorrow.

I didn't thinks so.

I would have bought the whole thing and kept the cart as back up or passed it on.

I have been on a bit of an NES shopping spree this month.
This is a list of all the NES games I've picked up in July.



And here is a picture of my current NES collection (Famicom and Famicom Disk System not included)
I am still on the verge of considering to go for the "complete" NES set. I say "complete" because i know there are ~50 i'll never get/afford.

[palmer6strings]

It's actually to the point to where I have a hard time finding NES games I DON'T have. Coming close to 300 titles I either find ones I already have (and buy them anyway if they are cheap enough) or I find one I don't have and they think they are worth a lot with a huge price tag.

[TDIRunner]

Well, if this ins't a testament to the failure of the PS TV, then I don't know what is. 

$44 brand new and sealed at Wal-Mart.  At that price, considering it comes with a Dual Shock 3, memory card, and game, why wouldn't I buy it?  I guess the big question is, is Retro City Rampage compatible with the PS TV?

[Araden64]

It's basically a vita for your tv (same hardware), it plays most Vita games and can be used to remote play from your PS4 and I think it also supports Playstation Now, but I'm not sure.  Picked it up a few weeks ago for $30 off Amazon.

It uses those overpriced Sony Memory Cards though

[wiggy]

It's total crap.  But you got a controller for a good price and a beefy coaster

And the memory card isn't a bad bonus if you have a lot of Vita games.

[OhhNoYouNintenDidnt]

Ok guys, so as no-one wants to make an offer (perhaps because you want me to talk specific expectations or you guys just dont want it?)......I will say what I would like for it and then we can go from there.

Ive found 4 examples of a comparable CIB copy sold on Ebay.com in the last few months and they sold for:

1 - $268 (Auction)
2 - $305 (BIN)
3 - $261 (Auction
4 - $319 (BIN)

Hence, I would LIKE..........$280 for it..........so perhaps we can start from there.

Please bare in mind, I did not buy this very cheaply.......the guy knew what he had and as I said before it took a me a long time to get it to a price I was willing/able to pay so it would make it worth all my time and effort profit wise.

Let me know what you guys think, even if it is to say "Thats RIDICULOUS!!!". 

[Arseen]

You said it.

I'm out.

I've got one too.  I really WANT to like it.  I mean it's form factor is super small, and I get access to Netflix and Vita stuff, but why in the world did they use the Vita's touch screen interface rather than the PS4's non touch fluid interface??
