Help me try to complete my NES collection

[tonki]

I'm down to 36 games I need, with most of the rarest still left . I'm looking for loose carts in good condition, but if the price is right... :P

All I have to offer for trade is mostly NES carts (in my sig), but I'd be willing to buy what I need. Since I live in Canada, I'd like to get 2 or 3 games at a time to save on shipping. Thanks!

For those Aladdin carts, anyone else will tell you, the best thing to do is get on eBay...search for "Deck Enhancer"...and theres a guy that has an entire set of 6 games with Dech Enhancer sealed for 75.00 Buy-It-Now....he's always on there with them...that's what I suggest. I got mine from there and I'm happy!

The problem with those sellers is they are all scammers when it comes to shipping to Canada. Tonki, you're in Halifax by the looks of things.. that's just a few hours away from NJ (where the seller is located) yet he'll charge you 25$US for shipping!!! (and pay 5$ to actually ship!)

BTWay.. nice to find out canadian NES collectors! Especially ones with almost a complete collection! I really believe it's much harder for us to complete a collection (and a heck more expensive) than your typical joe american.

Congrats! I need another 96 carts myself.

Also, I noticed you're collecting the Panesians. These never came out in Canada. Are you aiming for complete NES collection (hence get the PAL and HES exclusives, North American collection, or Canadian collection??)

[tonki]

I'm looking to collect all North American releases (I already have both Active Enterprises carts), but in the long run I don't think I'd be willing to spend the kind of money needed to get the Panesian carts. I beat the Peek-a-boo Poker rom in 2 hours, and frankly, it was kind of disappointing :P

Even the licensed Stadium Events seems like kind of a waste, 'cause $250 for a differently-labeled World Class Track Meet seems stupid. The Bandai pad looks kind of cool though.

How long have you been collecting? where did you get most of your carts from? locally, ebay?

I'm always amazed at how far people make it in their collecting w/o hearing of this place. (4 posts in total for you, and 2 of them on this thread!)

I think there alot of NES collector in Canada. Great to see Tonki near the end.

I'm currently at 385 NTSC carts (50% boxed, including 1 proto) and 11 exclusive PAL games.

My friend and I both started collecting heavily about 5 years ago, and at that time it was all local. We would go out every weekend and bring back about 20-40 loose games at $3 CAN each, which we would then split up as evenly as possible. We got a bit of a haul (~60 or 70) from Funcoland online a few years ago (Pac-mania, Qix, lots of other B+'s and A-'s from Etler's list). For the most part, the last 150 games or so I've gotten have come from ebay. I just wish I had bought more years ago when the rares weren't as expensive. I bide my time and wait for deals, but now I thought I'd see if anyone here had anything I need (which apparently they don't ).

As far as my posts go, I have a few more on CGCC. :P

Yeah, one of those is US only and the other looks like it'll go for too much. Thanks though.

I think I have 5 of your wants, but I will need to check my list.

I know for a fact that I have Bonk's Adventure, Princess Tomato, and TMNT Tournament Fighters.

I might also have Baseball Stars II, Bandit Kings, Battletoads/Dbl Dragon, Chiller, Die Hard, Indiana Jones, L'Empereur, Times of Lore, Wayne's World, and a couple of unlicensed ones. I've had them at one time or another so I'll have to check on it.

I'm at about 650 different myself but am torn between collecting them all or just keeping the games I actually like to play which is closer to 120.
