I recently got a Resident Evil longbox in perfect shape. It looks so nice. I dig the Warhawk one too.

Turbo Grafx stuff is MINTY.  The Turbo stick is brand new and (i was told) it has never been pulled out of the box. (not sure i believe that)

The Odyssey 2 box is empty (though it has the original paperwork inside).  Got this free

Turbo Stick is for sale

Love the TG16, but I always thought their retail box theme was ugly.

SWEET how the hell you find that? I've always wanted one after being screwed by being sick the day of that contest. I could have easily won it but I kept sneezing while playing and shivering a lot.
I trained for awhile for it.

seems like people who live in Illinois have a lot of luck finding stuff in the wild. Congrats on all your finds.

so i traveled a little over Easter weekend.  I made various stops.  Most of this is from finds in the wild.  the rest is stuff I got in from NA'ers.   Of all the stuff you see, i probably spent about $100-110.


found these at a play n trade (and one at goodwill)


PS2 games are from a garage sale (except GoW2, which is sealed and from Best Buy); PS1 from goodwill


got these at a garage sale.  not sure why they had nearly 3 full copies of FFVII.  (These are all for sale)


The boxed games and manuals are from NA peeps.  Loose NES from Goodwill.  Castlevania IV from Disc replay.


I traded a Sega Saturn for some of these, and a few NES games for the rest. Most from an NA'er.


GBA games traded from NA member.  Lynx game from Goodwill (i've never seen a Lynx game in the wild up until this).


most from goodwill.  the boxed N64 are CIB, but for Tom & Jerry (missing manual).  Wayne Gretzky and Mario Kart were from my brother.  
Mario Party is for sale (i also have a manual for it)


Thrift store find.  This is for sale

got these from an old lady on CL.  Possibly for sale



picked these up for $1 a piece from a small game store

Wow those coleco's are in bad shape, and I thought the DK I had was hosed (does it even work?) I think some glue could get Ms pac-man looking respectable though, probably pac-man too other than that wasted front sticker. You got some pretty fine stuff there. By the way since you made it a point to say long box, what does a nice copy of MGS long box value at? I just saw one locally for $20.

Nothing, it is a fake longbox and actually a PS2 re-release. Only meant to attract suckers new to the PS1 scene.
