Welp tomorow is my birthday, turning the big 21 ehhhh. lol. Hate the fact of getting older but i have to say the gift i got from my parents made it Exceptional!!

Was one of the last 8 games i needed. I kinda felt bad how they had to spend so much on it, but the funny thing is they went and played bingo and won $600.00 the same day they won it LOL, and then went to the race track and one $700.00 2 days after. So that made the situation feel a little bit better for them and me. lol. But nah. for real it was very cool to finally get this game. Been searching for it since i was 17 lol. Anyways figured id share my happiness :-)

Thats a pretty sweet gift but more than I would spend on a game, or that I would want anyone spending on a game for me.
Pre Happy Bday, btw

What's so Specail about this game
Do your homework. It's almost the grail of NES collections.
Congrats on the game and happy birthday ParPunk.
Here's what I don't get. Who the F**K sells a game for $900 bucks and then gouges an extra $15 on shipping?!?!?!?! Now I know it doesn't deserve a hand delivery from the seller, but would it be too much to ask for free shipping if not actual shipping?

actually believe it or not, when i got the game it actually said $15.60 shipping on it lol. Yea i was extremely surprised. he had the package all decked out. In a Big Box, with a little box inside, with bubble wrap inside of it, and more bubble wrap around the game. Plus Full insurance, tracking, Priority, etc. I was verypleased with the shipping. but i do agree, when ya charge that much for a game, yea shipping should be free, along with a trip out to a steak house lol.

Congrats man, I hope you realize though that what is almost as priceless as that game though? The fact that your parents support and approve of your hobby! That's so cool, your very lucky. That's not to say my folks ever had anything against it but damn they's never do something like that even if they had the $$$$$$$$$ :)

Wow! Congrats on the gift.
Also, I'm impressed the seller has a 1000+ rating that's 100% positive. Cause usually the big sellers have at least one or two blips.

Congrats on the loot your parents won on eBay and happy birthday! Don't believe I'll end up getting any of the higher priced games (hunreds of dollars) because I'm a cheap bastard. Hope you have a good place to put it.
BTW: That Stadium Events location is in a city just over the water from here, wonder who that seller is and if I've run into them before.

hey rare gamer girl. i kinda thought it was yours because of the little scuff indention down the label. but guess what!!!! i took this piece of really round wood (kinda like a jenga block) and i rubbed the scratch out of it ALLLL the way. You cant even tell at all now. It looks almost pristine mint. i couldnt believe it. Luckily it wasnt a scratch that cut in the plastic. it was more of an an indention. So with a little creative recovery, i made this puppy almost gem mint. You really cant tell at all. ive even asked some close friends if they notice anything and they said they didnt see a thing! Woo!!! Definetly looks like the most mint SE ive ever seen.
oh by the way. thanks for the nice comments everybody :-) And yea its cool to have parents that support my hobby :-)

Happy Birthday! Best birthday gift ever! My parents usually go all out on my birthday, but I don't think they could justify spending $900+ on one single video game. Sounds like you have some pretty cool parents.
