Ok here is the deal...I love all your guys valuable input...On Friday I have a chance to buy a variety of Dreamcast games from a local ToysRus for .90 each...there are a ton of games...I have already picked out and set aside the 53 different titles that are there....but there are a lot more of the same titles (duplicate copies..ya know?)...my question to you guys is...since I struck this deal with a ToysRus Manager and this kind of deal at this place will most likely never happen again....should I buy multiple copies of the same game...I have never sold anything video game related...ebay or otherwise and I rarely trade...so I have no idea what to do with these games if I do purchase them for .90 each... I would venture there are about 100+ left over games...alot of chu chu rocket,wetrix,dead or alive 2, street fighter alpha, Jo jo somthing or other, sports titles.....and on and on....Basically I am asking what to do with this great deal I am being offered...I know a great ebay head would buy every game and sell them...but that I am not....SO let me know guys!!!

A reallly confused poor college student,
Doc 8-)

Why don't you trade some with me? I have several new and sealed DC duplicate titles I need to trade off for DC games I don't have yet.

EGADS! YES!

I would really really REALLY appreciate it if you snagged doubles for me!

Of those listed, I need

Wetrix
Dead or Alive 2
Street FIghter (all versions)
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and tons others!

I'll give you my cell phone number and read you off the titles at the store if you want me to! This would go a super long way in helping me complete my DC collection at a fraction of the price!

If you can help me out, you would be a GOD!

yes, BUY everything, you'll at least get the money back on ebay (you're getting much more for sure)

if you've got them, i'm interested in ALL us-exclusive (=not released in europe) titles, i can mail you a list which those are

i can pay through paypal or perhaps ipmo (although i don't know how that works, never used it before)

your help would be really appreciated as i want all western released dc games...

I'm always looking for good dreamcast games I don't have (and I don't have many) so I'd buy some from you. Plus at the price your getting them for, you should easily be able to get you money back, I'd say you'll make at least double.

Ninety cents a game for brand new DC games is a great deal; I would buy as many as you're allowed or can afford, as you can certainly see a return on your investment at that price, and the demand for DC is pretty stable :)

What he said :D
I could use all of those titles and more...If you score extras send me a pm and I'm sure we can work out some sort of deal. ;)

Yeah...you can't lose on this....the DP forum will snap most of it up....except for maybe sports titles...

Not trying to be rude or anything, but you would be a MORON if you didn't. Unless they are nothing but sports games, yuck.

The point here is not they are just dreamcast games, but that they are "sealed" dreamcast games, and that always counts for something.

Well why NOT buy them all (other than maybe the sports titles)? You don't have to ebay them, use them for trading. Not a whole lot of valuable DC titles but at 90 cents each you cannot lose. If you don't buy 'em someone else will ;) My advice, grab 'em (again except for sports), then list them for trade. To heck with ebay, I use them occasionally but as little as possilble, they have too many unfair "rules" and adding more all the time........

I am even interested in those :)

The prospects of completing my collection much earlier than anticipated have me absolutely giddy:D

BUY THEM ALL!!

As you can see from the above posts... we all reccomend you buy as many as possible. Sealed DC games for .90 are a steal... even if they're sports games in my opion.

You could easily make all youre mony back through these forums alone, let alone ebay.

Sorry for the multiple posts, when I tried to post it kept hanging and saying "web site not responding" So I kept trying, you see the result. Which leads me to ask, how can I get rid of the "extra" posts?

Thanks,
Tom

Ditto. I would also be intrested in most of the titles mentioned. You can't go wrong.
Whatever supply of new dreamcast games left are all drying up. TRU is the last place I know that has them in my area. They will surely increase in value in the future if you can store them for a while. I mean of course after you sell me some.

This is a no brainer dude. Buy em all!!!

Exactly what he said. I need all of those games mentioned above, and would gladly trade or buy the games I need. Definitely pick them up.

If you use the Rarity Guide link above, the search engine will help you select some key titles you should grab multiple copies of, including a few searches on eBay.

I would also be interested in some games. The list I have is fairly easy to look for (basically most All-Stars, including sports)

As Hydr0x said I'd be interested in any games that never got a PAL release too }:)

So, in other words, you won't buy any to resell/trade? Because you really could make a small fortune on these...
