I simply MUST brag in my own thread, DraculaX, RS, Snatcher!

[ClassicGameTrader]

This was probably my best week ever for buying video games. Not that I got INCREDIBLE deals but just the calibur of games I got. The best deal by far was 37.50 shipped for Metal Slug Saturn, a pretty sweet deal. Then there was 150 for Radiant Silvergun off somebody on ebay but I met them in person without bidding. Followed by Dracula X PCE 103 shipped and then finally Snatcher Sega CD for 75.50 shipped. I am not buying any more games for a loooong time, this is my birthday gift to myself

So:

Radiant Silvergun $150 (Met in person)

Metal Slug 37.50 Shipped

Oh and I got an import saturn copy of Super Puzzle Fighter II for sega saturn for 10$ for the guy with RSG, it almost gets lost in the mix! So overall thats 376 dollars. What do you guys think, I think I payed a fair price for these games, not a steal but not a ripoff, often they could sell for much more!

[unbroken]

not bad, those seem like standard ebay prices to me, personally i get more enjoyment in finding my games in the wild for pennys then giving in and paying those ebay prices. though, im pretty sure ill never find a snatcher or radiant silvergun in the wild, its always nice to pray for them.

[hydr0x]

nice games you got there but honestly i don't see what's so special about what you paid, seems pretty average to me

[ClassicGameTrader]

I am not bragging about the prices, just that I have had a really big week as far as WHAT I got.

[Bronty-2]

well, no reason to rain on the parade. those are nice games, congrats.

[BIGMIKE]

nice haul...............just hope ya got some $$$$ left over for bills

[Bluteg]

I agree with the consensus. I would never pay over retail for any game unless it was made of gold and served me pancakes.

[dj898]

if I really wanted I'm willing to pay what the market dictates... saying that I also enjoy the bargain hunt - on my business trip to Japan I spent virtually all the time apart from business meeting hunting those obscure titles...

Bring me some more soda R.O.B.!

I agree, and I've almost never stray from that rule.

[bargora]

Hey damn, you're rolling in videogames! And I did pay more than that for my RS, so congrats.

Although I generally follow the cheapass gamer ethic held by most of the other posters around here, sometimes you just gotta live a little (or a lot in your case this week).

Let us know when you can one-credit Radiant Silvergun!

[drummy]

You paid average for everything, but nice finds!

[Richter Belmount]

yeah >_> a real wallet burner *gets chills at the thought*
great game choices though

[whoisKeel]

Nice games! You'll probably end up playing that $10 SPFIIX more than all the others combined...that's just the way the world works

I think the Dracula X and RS are a bit better than average prices, but not a steal. Still, why wait 2 years for a good deal when it is your birthday now? Happy birthday. Go play some games!

BTW, how good is Metal Slug for Saturn...I have Metal Slug X for psx and it is meh (OK animation, bad sound) how does the Saturn Metal Slug stack up?

[dj898]

almost - and I mean almost - NeoGeo arcade perfect...
obviously haven't compared side by side I don't know how much by "almost" but I expect few animation frames chop'd her eand there but most of content intact...

i better play my copy agains to refresh my memory... (been playing MS3 on Xbox lately)

[ClassicGameTrader]

Like he said, it is a VERY close port, it would probably take some sort of scientific method to figure out what is missing.

[hydr0x]

i know, it's just that well, you can get almost every game right away if you're willing to spend that much money on them, but maybe that's just me

don't let me spoil your great week, enjoy the games!

[Steven]

I dunno what you guys are talking about. Metal Slug at $37 is a great deal. The rest are average. But not MS. I seen it go for 50-70.

So $37 should be considered very good, if not great.

[soniko_karuto]

heh, great shopping spree.

Mind you, i bought a snatcher, mint, and then sold it for about 100 times what i paid (yeah, you can guess )

[Richter Belmount]

a dollar?

[soniko_karuto]

yep
