Finally!... A GREAT FIND!

[Classicgamesdepot]

A little too much partying last night so I woke up around 8 today, didn't get to the swap meet until 9 am and really didn't expect to find much because my competition gets there at about 5:45. Anyhow, after having two panesians snatched about 30 seconds before me ( I posted that story a while ago) I actually snagged one of my best finds ever today. The craziest part is that my rival collector buddies actually told me about this one. We were chatting and they mentioned a bike rally speed racer cart and said they passed it up. I thought they were bull shitting for sure. I continued searching after we talked and they left and sure enough there it was. I first noticed two snes units with a Life fitness center unit attached (pic below) Than I spotted the sealed MBR/Speed Racer cart). Picked up two snes's w/ life fitness center attatchment and the sealed game for 22 bux. Both snes units were really mint so I didn't bother trying to seperate the life fitness center units from them. If anyone needs the life fitness center unit as a missing piece to their bike let me know and we can work out a deal. Anyhow, pics below. The last picture is a close up of one the life fitness center units. I thought the inspection labels were pretty tight. I must say I'm pretty damn stolked on this find... Cheers all and happy hunting!

oh damn i envy you. that is one hell of a find nice grab man... my day didn't go so well, i only found some sealed snes sports games and a dirty ol' sega cd setup.

congrats... sounds like this calls for a little more partying tonight :drinking:

[Cmosfm]

Wow, and the people that passed this up...you actually call "rivals"? Sounds more like n00bs to me. LOL

Great find man, great find!

[Kejoriv]

Wow. Nice find. I didnt go out this morning on the hunt. Too hungover :puke:

[VinnyT]

I wondered that too.

Do these "Rivals" know of DP at all? I mean, they sounded like they knew it was rare, and yet they leave it for you.

Course, not that you're complaining or anything.

Super sweeeeeet find! fella!.... and that extertainment base unit / thingy looks pretty clean too! ;)

:vamp:..XS

[-hellvin-]

amazing find man, I finally have a sunday off so it's to the swap at 7:30 tomorrow!

[Classicgamesdepot]

Seriously though.. I was astonished to see that they didn't grab the mbr/speed racer game. They know their shit and aren't newbies by any means. However, I don't think they've ever heard of DP and were just uneducated about how rare the game is. They generally grab pretty much any factory sealed game though. Can't explain why they didn't snag this one but i'm sure glad they didn't :evil:

A little too much partying last night so I woke up around 8 today

8 am? If so, thats ridiculous. I don't wake up that early unless I have to go to work. Amazing find though man.

[EnemyZero]

Nice find indeed, the thing games i managed to find yestarday were sealed copies of nes games...TMNT (original) , Mario 3 , Mario 2 , P.O.W . Slow weekened for me

[maxlords]

That is one amazing snag for $22! I would have been jumping up and down! :) Congrats!

[sisko]

NICE!

All you need now is to track down the bike itself!

[Classicgamesdepot]

Thanks everyone, so how many sealed copies of this game are known to exist? I remember there being about 5 or so thus far all coming from one source right?

[Crush Crawfish]

Damn, that's one of SNES holy grails! Lucky.

Just a bump to see if anyone is interested in the life fitness center connectors units (shown in pics)
