    Default Bought the following games for $10...be shocked

    Sup everyone i'm new to the boards and found this site after making an amazing find and looking up prices for the games I just bought.

    The story,

    As most Floridians know theres this place called the Swap Shop which is a huge flea market where you can find just about any game,system, and accessory imaginable. This is the place I goto to find the best deals and they sure do and I was amazed when I got home to find that I spent the best $10 ever. There was this man selling a box of Sega CD games, since I've never owned a Sega CD system or ever read up on the games I knew nothing of their value but still bought the box with the games in it anyways. The following games were in the box (lucky, lucky, lucky! Games were mint!)

    -Lunar Eternal Blue
    -Lunar The Silver Star
    -Snatched
    -Vay
    -Robo Aleste (2!)
    -Dark Wizard
    -Popful Mail
    -Microcosm
    (and other non-sega cd: Virtua Fighter-Saturn and Hang ON & Safari Hunt)

    I just got these this morning and was amazed at how much of an investment that $10 was. Everyone should keep their eyes wide opened when looking for deals like this at flea markets. This is like a 1/100 chance. Just wanted to share this story with you peeps.

    Snatcher will make it worth the cost of getting a SegaCD unit to play it alone. All the RPGs on your list are very good too. An excellent (and cost-effective!) way to start a SegaCD collection!

    Congrats!

    Thats an awesome deal. You basically have 2 of the rarest games for the system there. Snatcher can bring $100 and up by itself.
    Also, welcome to boards, and enjoy your stay.

    Sounds like Nirvana to me. Kind of makes me wish I hadn't passed up my chance to go to Sebring for Christmas.

    Thx for the welcome. I need to get a Sega CD because the games look so good and I'm sure i'll be able to find one easily. Ill try to see if I can get some pictures using my scanner since I don't have a digital camera. I'm also trying to start a sega saturn collection but I only have Virtua Fighter and havnt been able to find anything else! Every flea market I goto I see games for every system even the imports but never a sega saturn game which I don't understand.
