Hey everyone, 

So I've recently stumbled on to the site here, I'm working towards completing a fairly extensive run of CIB NES/SNES games, and figured that people within the community would be the best resource to help me finish off some of those more difficult titles.  So yeah, I am intending on buying here.  I've got a good eBay reputation, I pay on time and in full, so I assure you that if you give me a chance, I'll be someone that you'll be interested in dealing with repeatedly.

I played the NES for the first time when I was 8 years old (that was 1986 so we're going back a long ways now), and I really started getting back into collecting around 1998 when games were plentiful and relatively inexpensive.  I have at various times owned nearly every title for the NES, unfortunately I found myself financially strapped in my mid-20's and I had to sell all of my collection off.  I'm older now and more stable and it's time to finish this off once and for all.  I have two little kids and I'd rather see them playing Mega Man or Wrecking Crew than CoD.  This is as much about sharing that with them as it is about reliving my youth.

So, I would expect that I'll be contacting many of you over the coming weeks and months as I attempt to finish the collection off.  I do live in Canada, I know there's some reluctance to ship internationally, but hopefully it's something that we can work out to both of our benefit.  I will pay premiums for rare games, and I will cover all customs and shipping fees associated with getting the games to Canada.

Looking forward to talking to all of you!

Brent

You looking to complete a full set or are you just grabbing select titles? Either way good luck with the search!

May the force be with you.

Select titles for sure.  I'm not an absolute completionist at all.  I can't justify spending the money and taking up the shelf space for things like the Sesame Street titles or things that are going to require me to cash in my retirement savings (Dino Peak for example).  Most of the stuff I'm looking for at the moment was released in 1988 or earlier, stuff like Ice Climber and Mach Rider and whatnot.  I'm also looking for boxes and manuals for some of the loose carts I've got, although I'm not sure how much luck I'm gonna have finding a box and manual for Clu Clu Land without buying the whole package.  But hey, I'm not in a huge rush, when I see the stuff I'm looking for come up for sale, and I've got the surplus funding to buy it, I'll definitely do that.  Best approach as far as I can tell!
