@ Fritzwhite: PM you

Looking to buy some crystal meth? Lol.  Call hank Heisenberg!  ;D
No, I don't do drugs. I just wanted to buy videogames.
Is that what the kids are calling it nowadays.  ;)

I met these guys really late at a 7 eleven in a ghetto area. After I buy the Sega games for $50 he asks me if I'm interested in Nintendo too. Yes, sure.

So I wait for another 20 minutes for them to go get it and he has this box full of Nintendo stuff he wants $70 for. I took a little bit of a gamble because I didn't want to check every single game on top of my car at midnight at 7 eleven in the hood, so I just bought the box. Unfortunately it's nothing but filler titles for NES and SNES, but there was a SNES system complete with original cables at least.

Thinking about letting these go.



Thinking about keeping these.



Nintendo pickup; I will resell or trade the majority of these.

Looks like you might have a couple of 5-screw NES carts in that box. Something to keep in mind.

Very jealous of that master system pickup.  Some solid titles there.

I'll take fantasy zone the maze, and Rambo if you are flipping them, and you're happy to ship to France.   Maybe a few others as well, would need to check my lists.

lol :D, seriously, though if I'd been pulled over by a cop on the way back I can just picture trying to explain that I bought the games and didn't know they had anything illegal in them. Cops would say, 'sure buddy, tell it to the judge' as they slap the cuffs on

Good to know, thank you.

Supposed to pick up the following GameCube Games later today for $25

No pics but it sounds like a potential good deal.

1. Mario Sunshine
2. Sonic Mega Collection
3. Killer 7
4. Paper Mario
5. Metroid Prime
6. Metroid Prime 2
7. Pikmin

Says she thinks they have manuals and the definitely all have cases.

I'd love to add killer 7 to my GC collection as well as pikmin.

I already have Sunshine and Paper Mario so probably flip or trade those.

I may keep the Metroid games as I don't have them but I do have Trilogy on the Wii.

Wow...take a look for yourselves

Someone in my local area, rural Southern Illiniois, is selling pre-made cases using what I assume to be covers from here. Unbelievable.

This topic has been talked about many many many of times...
But in all honesty, He actually has them at a decent price. $5 is bad, compared to $10-$15 on eBay.
What are you looking at? You think baby's don't like video games? THEN YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT BABIES!!

He's most likely still making the same amount of $$$ though. Usually they're like $10 shipped on eBay. He doesn't pay for shipping, packing materials, eBay or Paypal fees.

Yeah I know it's been brought up very often it just shocked me that it came to my local Craigslist. What's a game that I could request that there is no cover for?
