What is the Rarest Item You Have Found in the Wild?

[rpepper9]

Boxed zapper 18 dollars
Boxed Advantage 15 dollars
boxed controllers 12 - 15 dollars
boxed NES sets go for different prices depending on the set.

control deck set...... 40 dollars
Challenge set ....... 45 - 60 dollars
action set ........ 50 - 60 dollars
power set ....... 60 - 80 dollars
deluxe set ...... 70 - 110 dollars
I have not seen that many sport sets on ebay


Of course those are all ebay prices I have seen them go up and down alot.
But that is a rough estimate for you.

Thanks for the info. I love your avitar!

After reaserching my whole collection I apparently havent found too much really rare stuff. Ill give it my best shot though.

My R5s

Lunacy (sat) Paid Nothing for it
Incredible Crisis (psx) 7$
Orge Battle Limited Edition (psx) Too much. Plus the darn Manuals Front and back pages are gone and it's also written on.

Well, the rarest thing I actually bought was a Genesis Action 52, which I sold to Mr. Joe DP. Hope you enjoyed that, btw. :P

The rarest thing I did NOT buy was potentially a copy of the Starfox Competition cart. It was in a dark corner of a case at GameStop and I just shrugged it off, but the label definitely was NOT the usual one... Wow, I really hope it wasn't the weekend cart. Damn.

2 weeks ago at a garage sale I found Custer's Revenge and Bachalor party CIB. Those were the only 2 video games there. No combat even. Paid 5 bucks for the 2. It was a cool find.

Also found Mr. Do's Castle for the 2600 at a Choc for 95 cents.

The only rare game I've found in the wild is Tooth Protectors for the 2600. I procured this game with help from Alan Davis from this site.

[Immutable]

Guardian for the Atari 2600

[Jorpho]

Loose NES Secret Scout and the Temple of Demise.

Let that one go for far too low, I did.

I've had a few rare finds recently. I found a box at the local flea market that had Crazy Climber and Dice Puzzle for the Atari 2600 in it that I got for $5.

I got a Colecovision with Word Feud (R7) Sir Lancelot (R6) and Quest For Quintana Roo as well as a bunch of others for $30 at a local garage sale.

Today I got Dragon Force for Sega Saturn at the local thrift store for 3.99.

And a few months ago, my sister got Mario's Cement factory /w box at a garage sale for $2. She sold it for 120 bucks on ebay.

I'm sure that thsi has been talked about before, but I was just reading some others' "Finds of the Year" and thought that everyone could just throw their great, rare (either a personal rarity -- a game that you have been looking for for ages, or a book-rarity -- one that is generally accepted to be rare) finds in the wild here.

Personally, I have had a shitty year for rare finds, and the only thing that can fit into this categary for me is PSX Terry Pratchett's Discworld (R5) which I have not been able to find anywhere (and I wanted it) and is one of the rarer items in my collection (my collection is filled with commons mainly...)

WHAT ABOUT YOUS?

Shoot..I didn't know PSX Terry Pratchett's Discworld was a R5

I have one sitting on thelf that came with a bunch of other PSX games..Large Box version..
I don't know if i came in a DC case ..that's why I added that.




What is the rarest item you have found in the wild?

I'd say ...
My Virtual Boy Display Unit..
Two Sealed Nintendo Stack Ups sets.
Bath Bubble Babes.... sealed but I opened it to be sure of it's contents.

Plus maybe a few other thngs I don't know are that rare in the piles of gaming stuff I own..

[captain nintendo]

Dragon Ball GT Final Bout ( R6 )

I know I have found more , but I cant think of them at the moment.

I recently found a loose Starfox Super Weekend cart (R9)
I also bought a sealed copy of Cheetahmen 2 from another dp member (R9)

Also been finding a ton of sought after SNES games and some really good psx games I just have not looked up rarity levels yet.

[Lemmy Kilmister]

Orge Battle Limited Edition (psx) Too much. Plus the darn Manuals Front and back pages are gone and it's also written on.

I have two used copies of that game and both were in complete shit states. It seems i can never find that game with a manual to go with it.

Umm as for games i don't know i got a lot of semi (4-6 games) rare games so i'd say.

Some complete nes games i found

a complete/mint lunar sss for 5 bucks

and maybe the spletterhouse games.

[Atari and Beer]

Music Machine cart for the 2600. Picked it up at a flea market for 25 cents. Label has small tear, but definetely my rarest find in the wild.

[-hellvin-]

A while ago I found stadium events, that's my rarest game so far.

[classic gamer]

I think my best would only be an R5. Intelligent Qube for the PS1. Found at EBgames in a blister pack with Coolboarders 3and a memory card for $20. Not a super deal but I had been looking for the game for months and was afraid I was going to end up spending $60 or more on eBay to get it.

My friends brother found Joshua for Genesis in the snow while doing his paper-route one day, which I guess really means "in the wild". But that was given to me, so I guess it doesn't count.

Link: The many Faces of Evil $.75(why? cause the Goodwill guy said all Playstaton games were $.75)
Power Joy cart $2.50
Magic Carpet PSX $7.00

[link1110]

Suikoden 2 at Funcoland for $30. Also , Marioallstar, I think I found and passed up that same xomplete zapper. GamesUSA, right

[le geek]

Ren and Stimpy Fire Dogs

[josekortez]

I just found Silverload (PS1, long box version) complete last week at EB for $1.79. It's an R7.

[jono]

Found a Virtual Boy in its box with Mario clash and galactic pinball here in the UK for a fiver at a car boot sale. Not bad considering it was never released over here.

[Push Upstairs]

"Guardian Heroes" complete for $18
