Lets have fun with these guys

[Avenger]

so heres the deal...

i know a game store where the guyz know NOTHING about videogames...the way they seem to price it is if they have heard of it, its more expensive.....i had a plan tho...since you guys now just about everything there is to know and games, we can have sum fun with them...

heres how they price stuff:

NES - range from 10 to 25
SNES - roughly 20
Genesis - 10
N64 - 20-30
PS - 15-25
(all canadian prices)
Atari games - 6 bucks
and they also have a bunch of random stuff too...

so no matter how rare and amazing it could be, they use these prices....so heres where you guys come in, what games for these systems are actually worth more than this? They have probably got some crazy rare games they dont even know they have...what would you recommend i look for?

heres an example of a conversation i tried to have with one of the guys

ME - how much is your copy of Final Fantasy Origins?
Him - you mean Final Fantasy 7?
Me- no...origins...
Him- is that FF7?
Me- no its origins...
him- thats not 7?
me- no, its one and two...
him- oh....i didnt know we had that...

My advice is to go there and wright down a list of some games they have, report back and post what they have and we could all help.

i might be able to get down there today but i wouldnt know where to start....any suggestions on wat to start lookin at?

[ddockery]

Try the online rarity guide on this site... that's as good of a place to start as any.

What I do, is I get my phone (so I Dont look odd) and I write them into my phone as a text message, and save it to my drafts/archive of messages LOL then you can look at it later

And its cool, cause high street game shops, sometimes theres a broadband internet terminal down the street from the shop, so I just go and look on ebay, go back and buy anything decent !!! LMAO

Look at the DP rarity guide, and jot down the R7s - R10s for those systems mentioned, well all of them besides PS1, since *most* R7s for ps1 are worth $10-$20 bucks.

Make a list of the games you see in your phone with the text message too. Great idea there chaoticjelly. ;)

I use my PDA (Palm Pilot) religiously for hunting in these scenarios.

Sure it took a huge amount of time to enter everything, but it really does pay off.

Atari games - 6 bucks
Any 2600 game with a DP rating of 5+ is a good deal at that price. Most 4s and even a few 3s (H.E.R.O. for example) are worth at least that much.

so guess wat...the store does a lot of ebay buying and selling, and i found out there user name...

http://cgi2.ebay.ca/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=www_madflavour_com&item=-1&frompage=222

the same exact games they are selling in stores of 15-25, they are selling on ebay for 2 each!....so heres my plan...im going to buy a bunch of them on ebay, and then walk in tommorow with my money and my proof of purcuse and pick them up :D

how does that sound?

[classicb]

"madflavour" LOL who are these guys?

[Avenger]

the stoe is called flavour....and they are all stupid...:P

[classicb]

no kidding you should try bargining with them... like taking 3 or more games for a reduced price.

anyone who has a videogame store called 'flavour' deserves to be takin advantage of.
