Never thought I would find someone with two Samba De Amigos.

So I had a friend of a friend tell me he owns two Samba De Amigos with Maracas for sale. I really wanted the one that was absolutely complete (box, mat, etc.) but he didn’t want to part with it unless I wanted to pay the hefty sum of $70. But he did have a second one that only had the Maracas and the game (pretty much the only thing that is needed to play) for a friendly $30.


Now I ask you, should I not be the fool and get that other Maraca set, or just wait till I find one cheaper?

Two Maracas, who would believe that on a whim?

$70 is way too low of a price for a complete set, man.

At least it was months ago...

I'd buy up another one for myself for 70 in a heartbeat. They still regularly move for close to 100 a pop and I felt pretty damn lucky to get the one I got for 75 that has some box wear and stuff on it.

I bought two sets of Samba for my boyfriend. Both complete. One was the US release for $80 and the second version was Japanese with Samba 2000 for $70. I consider both as having been a steal.

I've never understood people who go on about how they really want a certain game but then have second thoughts over a few dollars. $30 is NOT a lot of money for a game that you've always wanted. Besides, whats the most you'd save if you turned it down and looked for another, $5-$10? While there always the possibility that you wont find it again for as good as a price as you didthe first time.

I'd snag it repeatedly for $70. 100 times out of 100.

[Mayhem]

Two sets for $100? BUY, BUY, BUY!!! ;)

[Damaniel]

Gotta add my 2 cents to this, even though it's the same as everyone else's opinion -- BUY, BUY, BUY! $70 for a complete Samba is absolutely worth it. Even if you don't want another one for yourself, you'd have no problem selling it.

I had one long ago, but sold it before I got into collecting. Man, I still regret doing that. Maybe Sega will release a version for the Wii someday...

[dj898]

well I've had my two official sets since 2000?

[Oniudra]

Well I ended up getting a hold of the guy again and I got the whole thing for $80!

and they both fit in the box very nicely.

sorry hahahaha couldn't help myself...besides I had to take these pics to prove to someone I had them, and might as well not make them go to waste.
