January 2012 Finds!

Hi everyone, I'm pretty new here so I thought I would really get things started by posting this here. I picked this all up from someone in a local ad today. Paid $165 for it all. Both consoles are in beautiful shape and include all original hookups and power cables. The SNES came with three controllers, the NES came with two and a gray zapper. I thin I did pretty well.

That's not a bad price to play if you're starting into being a nes/snes collector, especially if you're going for full sets. If you're thinking re-sell I'm not seeing anything (unless I'm missing something) that'd really make it worthwhile with that lot at that price. So it depends on your goal.

I'm collecting. I'm leaning towards NES and Famicom, but I also want to collect SNES and Genesis.

Went out today w/ a buddy of mine and it looked like it might turn into a bust. We tried to go to the Tacoma swapmeet but it was closed. We hit up a ton of Goodwills without finding too much stuff. He picked up some electronics thing (no idea what it does, we thought it was a small printer at first, then a laminator, and I forget what it turned out to be) that goes for around $150. He also found a few odds and ends for himself, as well as a Chuck E Cheese framed poster for $7 for a buddy of ours.

The big finds tho: I got a boxed Pink Justifier gun with a blue gun thrown in for $19 (sold the last one I had on Amazon for $100, still have the CIB Lethal Enforcers w/ blue gun tho). I also picked up a big box study guide (?) or home tutor thing (?) called Mathematics Laboratory 2a for $7 that seems to be going for a few hundred (there's some completed listings on Ebay for the English one at $100+, the only ones on Amazon are all over $300). We'll see what that sells for. My buddy picked up a tool cabinet thing (red, on wheels, locks). Not sure what he paid but they're worth $150+ apparently.

I think you're being a little too harsh. You could easily make 3 NES system lots w/ games out of that, @ $100 each, that is if you had the extra systems.

I actually do have extra systems. Those two consoles you see there are spares. I have at least two of all the consoles in my collection right now and more controllers than anyone could ever possibly need.

Let me know if you have/get any extra NES or SNES games and want to trade for Famicom games.
