I picked up one thing this morning at my first visit to the flea market for the year but I didn't want to start the May thread since it isn't a game. I got a new, sealed copy of Microsoft Publisher 2002 for all of $2.

How much was the Crysis compilation?

I got it for $25. I picked it up at local Staples where they give out 50% on top of the original price. I manage to snag the last copy.

Got it a couple days ago but thought I'd mention it today

Star Wars Battlefront 2 for xbox for $5 missing manual.

and this was right after I sold a sealed copy on amazon for over $100 and a complete copy for $30

[yoshilime53]

Is that a copy of Super meat boy ultra? You are the best! Did you find it at walmart?

[understatement]

I got a nice Master System lot today:




Would the UPC sticker for Sonic be on the paper slip or the plastic of the case? I just don't see to many imports around here so I don't think it is one but there's no sticker so I have no proof that it's a US copy . If the sticker was supposed to be on the paper then I'd know it was an import and wouldn't feel so bad.

... What... the fuck?! That game is worth money?!

Yes indeed. Not the PS2 version however. Battlefront 1 is worth about $10 or so.

You should find it in the back/bottom corner of the box if it's a US copy.

Another to look out for is SW Republic Commando. I gather these are supported on 360 and still active on Xbox Live.

I know where it would be located and it’s not there.

What I’m asking is could the UPC sticker have been easily removed or fallen off if it dried out? If the sticker was placed on the outside of the clamshell these scenarios could be likely but, if it was directly on the paper under the clear plastic on the clamshell then more than likely it’s just an import.

I'm afraid without the sticker - whether it was there or not - it's no better than a PAL copy. Sucks.

That’s an… understatement (Ba Dum Tsh)

Yea, I know it’s no better than the PAL copy I was just curious. I only paid like $8 for it so it’s not a big deal but man if it only had that sticker.

$8 for Sonic or all of them? Still a good price and without the UPC, it's likely it was never there to begin with. I don't know but did Sonic only come with one manual type (as in the European horizontal type)? All the same still a good price for a decent SMS game.

Sonic was $8 the lot was about $40 not great but not bad for someone who rarely sees Master System games.

Castle Shikigami 2 (PS2, No Manual) - $3
4 Switch 2600 With AC Adaptor, 2 Joysticks, 4 NES Controllers, Some Random EA Games Plug & Play, Wireless NES Controller & 8 2600 Commons In A Book Thing That Holds 8 Games - $10
NES Dust Covers & Plastic Case, Sonic Chaos & Robocop 3 (Game Gear With Cases) - 3.50
Mario Power Tennis Hammer - .25
Sonic The Hedgehog VHS Tape (Sealed) - .25

Castle Shikigami 2 was 4 dollars offered 3 pointing out no manual. The Atari no price and said to make an offer, I looked it over seeing it at least looked ok and included a power supply and said I'd give them $10 which was taken easily enough to make me think I should have offerd $5 like I would have in the same situration at a yardsale. The Game Gear games were asking $2 each I said I was thinking a buck each and offered to meet in the middle and the other misc stuff with them was offered in for .50 more. The last two quarter items were asking price.

Gauntlet Legends - $5
Indiana Jones, Super Bros 3 & Super Mario World - $10
Resident Evil 3 With Dino Crisis Demo (PS1, Complete) - $5

This stuff was all from the alternate flea market that I typically go to a few times every year. The $5 games were asking price and the 3 others were $4 each or 3 for $10.

Sonic The Hedgehog VHS Tape (Sealed) - .25

A sealed copy of Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie for a quarter, I'm jealous.

Original XBL is down. It is no longer a service available to the older XBox games.

I should learn to keep my mouth shut about xbox stuff, having never actually used one more than a very little. Kinda weird that these games are worth anything, then. I guess they are just a little scarce and are at least playable on 360 offline.
