I was on craigslist this morning and saw an ad go up a second after searching snes. I've been holding out on SNES for a long time as I was waiting to get a good deal for all the damn expensive RPG's and Beat-um-ups. The list was just spectacular so I went ahead emailed the guy and he got back to me within a minute of the sent email. I offered $200 on the spot and without hesitation accepted my offer. I have an hour lunch and the drive was only about 15 minutes from my work place. Went down there asap looked through got the box and drove the hell out of there. Fastest CL pick up I've done. The ad was off craigslist within half an hour lol. So the games are... 




I'd say 90 percent of the games are in amazing condition. Thank you CL
The game under the light is Secret of Mana

Edit: Wasn't $300...I got it for $200

300 is a good price, 200 is a sick price. Nice find! Nothing like that in the IE ever. LA is too far to drive for me though. LOL

Down to the last 2 Sega Game Gear games I need for the CIB USA set. What I will pay for CIB:

$300 would have even been a sick price!  Those games total about $800 on ebay.  Epic lot and unbelievable price!

That totally resembles the starter pack I got when I bought my buddy's SNES, except half of his were CIB. Same price too, go figure. Nice score man

-------------------------


"It's always amazing to me how some of the most worthless games from a gaming perspective tend to fetch outrageous amounts of money. But then again, it could be said that something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. I'm curious if the high bidder of the $873.04 Stadium Events (cart-only) realizes that it's nowhere nearly as rare as about 20+ games I can think of that sell for 1/10th that amount?  At any rate, I wanted to draw attention to this trend: if people say it's rare, it must be true, and therefore it must be had at any price."

Holy Crap(and I said that out loud.) I wouldn't have flinched for a bloody second on that for $200. I mean you got an Earthbound and a Dracula X sitting pretty there, FF Guy too which is an interesting find. You pick the 3 best titles out of that lot and it's paid for if I recall the values right. Totally insane, hoping you keep these for yourself, but if you do resell big ass profit is coming. Your image haunts me though, I still haven't lucked into a local copy of Kirby's Dream Land 3. It's not a fantastic game, but it's fun, and ebay wants too much.
