March 2010 Finds

[PapaStu]

Kartia and Suikoden are complete and cost $5 each. And again, due to my stupidity, I missed out on more games. They also had a copy of Galerians missing disc 2, which I left behind.

If you're going to be selling Kartia, give me a chance (tonight) to see if its the version I need. I'd love to get it if I do need this one!

I... wasn't planning on selling Kartia. Suikoden, yeah, but not Kartia. But I'll consider selling it to you, since I don't really have much time to take on big-time RPGs these days.

But if you're wondering, this is the retail release, with foil letters and the 010601 PSRM.

Latest deliveries:

Saturn Bomberman CIB £9.99 (finally!)

Sonic Advance 2 CIB £7.00
Pokemon Blue CIB £5.00 (Lost my original box years ago and wanted a replacement for ages)

Latest finds:

GTA 2 CIB
Rayman 2: The Great Escape CIB
Bust-a-Move 2 CIB (replacement copy)
All for £6

Kolnoa (Wii) CIB £9 - so far loving it!
Mystic Heroes (GC) CIB £6 (unsure of this one, might take it back)

During my search in the wild found actual CIB GBA games which was a nice surprise but they were crappy cartoon tie-in games so passed. Also passed up on a Dreamcast for £9.99, was tempted but already own one and it came with no games.

These also pushed me past the 170 mark, 200 is getting closer!

Doh...... I've got the foil lettered one. Yours (to keep or otherwise flip for profit)!

I really liked this game when I had a PSX. Good find.

[orangest]

Found this in a bin of CDs in a downtown Goodwill. Brand new and unopened. $1.

Ok, price of The Ooze in the store where I traded it in: $29.99 (yeah it's overpriced but read on). Price of used copies of 3rd Strike at the same store: $49.99. Price paid for 3rd Strike: $0.00. Credit at store: 50% off store price towards trade in for other products. Net cost to me to trade 3rd Strike for The Ooze: $0.00. Looks like I came out just fine.

Compare me spending $0.00 on ebay and trying to get a copy of The Ooze, new or not; that isn't happening. The reason it's zero is if you saw my last post I bought a large lot of Dreamcast equipment with 3rd Strike for $50 total. I sold less than 1/2 the goods I bought and earned back the $50 I spent plus another $10 profit. I then decided to trade 3rd Strike which now cost me nothing but a little time for a game I actually want. Perhaps if I had an arcade stick for Dreamcast I might have kept it but even then the PS2 iteration of 3rd Strike is the best home port bar-none, so why would I want the Dreamcast game? Considering I paid $0.00 for 3rd Strike, and since I would've had to spend money to get a complete copy of The Ooze otherwise, I figured why not and trade it in allowing me to not spend any other money.



I had a topic here for over a month looking for a copy of The Ooze, where were you then eh? Also, what the hell is wrong with you people? I happen to like The Ooze for one and two I live in Canada man, sealed games and games in general are harder to come by. If I could've found a complete copy of The Ooze for less than $20 shipped, I would've gotten it.

Also, you seem to be out of the loop for 3rd Strike: http://completed.shop.ebay.com/Video...c0.m283&_rdc=1
Not a single copy sold for more than $30 (just 1 import version).

Your math makes my head hurt. But in the end all that matters is that you got what you wanted for a price you were willing to pay!

I needed one of those for the LONGEST time. I managed to find my way around it eventually. But even calling Sony and saying that mine was "unrepairable" just led them to telling me I needed to just go someplace and resurface. Ugh.

Aside from that I bought Katamari Forever for $19.50

R-Zone XPG system w/Daytona USA - $4
Power Joy controller - NES/Famicom system - $2

[The 1 2 P]

Like new Dreamcast with manual, demo and web browser
Sega Nomad with official battery pack
Ninja Gaiden import demo(Xbox)
Jungle Strike and Road Rash(Genesis)

The Dreamcast looks brand new aside from alittle dust. Now I can play all my demos on it. The Nomad will replace my current one and this is the first time I've ever picked up the official battery pack for it. Also nice to pick up another rare import Xbox demo. Not bad for $40 total.

A Dreamcast game I've wanted for some time arrived in the mail yesterday from Amazon:

My Bad Company 2 came from Amazon today!

The custom marquee for my 3/5th size Galaga MAME cabinet came today from EMDKAY.net...


(excuse the yo-yos being used as weights)

I'm pretty damn pleased with how it turned out as well as the service. Ended up being like $20.15 shipped, custom printed and custom cut (18" x 7"). Turn around time was less than a week from when I sent my artwork and payment to when it arrived at my door. Most other places either wanted way more, wouldn't custom size this small (or wanted a bunch extra), or flat out told me they wouldn't print Galaga marquees or artwork and instead told me to buy a reproduction. I didn't want an exact reproduction and besides, it's not a full sized marquee anyway.

Heading out this evening to finish up the cabinet over the weekend.

My first find I've posted. This was the best eBay find I've had in a while. Mega Man x3 and Manual for $23.65 shipped.

Really cool story attached to this is that I've been planning on buying a copy of this for my best friend since 4th grade, because I remember back when we were young he was a huge mega man fan. He had saved a bunch of money to buy Mega Man X3 when it came out but it was so short printed that he couldn't get a copy. He told me that he even wrote letters to Nintendo asking if he could buy a copy, and they actually mailed him back (but couldn't sell him a copy because it was a Capcom game)!

Needless to say, I figured picking him up a copy this year for his birthday would surprise him a lot. I figured it'd be expensive but I got really lucky and got one with a manual too.

Check it out!





What I'd really like to do is somehow track down a box so I can give him a complete one for his birthday, so if ANYONE knows where I could track one down I'd definitely be willing to buy one. I saw from completed listings on eBay that there was a box that sold for about $20 so I'm hoping to track something down like that (but would be willing to pay a little more as well).

Good luck trying to track down a box.

I didn't know there were two versions of this. Is one more rare than the other?

Also... here are my finds so far...
