Gordon's finds.

Well, I broke down and started buying cib games off ebay today (granted theres been one or two here and there).
I've had some great luck finding sealed games and complete in the wild these past 5 months of collecting, but there so much I want right now..
complete taito, comple black box, complete capcom/disney titles...
ahhh.

I found and won all of these auctions from one seller. It works out to about 3.58 or something for every complete game, seemed fair.

Also new to NW.-
I'm excited to be a part of a smaller collecting community, and look forward to talkin shop with all of you

Nov 2006 at 07:22 Yeah, it's obviously ripoff shipping...but it backfired, because he's not getting any more than $56...he could've easily got $80-100, or more, if he listed it with the real shipping cost.

Well, I emailed the seller asking if he would end auction for 50.00 dollars. He was up for it. So relisted as a 99cent auction and 55.00 for shipping just so the auction wouldn't look out of the ordinary while browsing (I guess?)

I was afraid someone would snatch the second it went up, so I went along with what he said.

We talked on the phone for a moment and I guess he got the game at a yard sale with about thirty other titles. Tongue

Decent price. It's not a foreign title, just an unlicenced one. Pretty shitty one too. If you decide to break the seal, let me know the contents of it...a pic of the insides would be fine for an unlicenced game...the inserts didn't have codes like the licenced ones do.

Oh, and you gotta love where he says "This may be the last sealed copy" right beside "Condition: The condition is great. We have tested it to make sure that it works perfect! " Grin

yeah, I read that line about testing and I was like pft.

I'm going to keep it sealed for the time being. I tested it through an emulator and I think it's worth more (to me) sealed then opened and playable. The menu was horrible and the loud shriek when the guy died was too much.

The whole thing reaks of a 70's science fiction movie if you ask me.

Check out what my girlfriend found me !

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190060185344

It was supposed to be a surprise xmas gift, but I saw the listing when I logged onto ebay (usually livinglnoblivion)

She contact the seller and he said theres just some corner shelf ware on the box. can't wait to get it!

I've never played, but I loved the first one!
