Crazy collection man. I have to ask here. Did you get everything off of eBay, or did you ever find anything at thrifts/garage sales/pawns/rental shops/word of mouth/classifieds/Craigslist? Can you remember any of your best non-eBay finds? Best eBay finds? Just curious. I love reading amazing find/deal stories. Motivates me for when I go game hunting. Almost all of it from eBay. At the time it was by far the easiest way to shop for what I was looking for. 

Even though it was by far my most expensive purchase one of most memorable 'finds' was gettting a 100% complete SNES Miracle Piano. I saw several without the box but there was always a problem with the connector cable. The keyboard is the same as the NES version but not the connector cable. A seller showed the pic with everything including all the warranty etc. paperwork. I couldn't click the $250 BIN fast enough.

Another was finding a Buckaroo$ poster I didn't even know existed amongst a bunch of junky paperwork/posters I bought off a seller getting rid of his old Video Store.

Bought a highly suspect sealed Aerofighters box that even the seller had no idea what was inside. The wrapper itself had huge holes. when I opened it it was complete but the manual was missing the cover, the cart back was riped buuuuut it also came with the poster. Definitely wasn't expecting that.

Got my Chavez II game in a huge lot that averaged out to be really cheap. I think I saw one really beat up copy show up afterwards.

Getting my last game 3 Ninjas Kick Back CIB was very exciting. I got it appx. 3 weeks after buying a sealed copy for a tidy sum. I just redently discovered I didn't get the Poster that was originally included. Very tough to find. Finding the game CIB is a real challenge.

Getting a pretty nice copy of a Lufia II strategy guide was good even though it wasn't cheap.

Bought a sealed Fire Dogs and within a couple hrs. I had a couple guys wanting me to sell it. I hadn't even gotten the Invoice from the seller yet.

I bought some bidding software early on and it helped me bid on appx. 150 auctions in about 2 hrs. I won appx. 100 of them

I've had a ton of horror stories involving eBay also. Most of them involving irrisponsible shipping by sellers. I think I got burned only once for about $25. ]]> Dust the Rust http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=9&threadid=120866 2014-02-17T21:19:35 -05.00 shortstop444 48 ]]> Dust the Rust http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=9&threadid=120866 2014-02-16T23:24:14 -05.00 shortstop444 48 Then to find it in a box... ?! When I saw it also had all the paperwork etc. I couldn't click the sellers BIN button fast enough
My NES version isn't this complete!
Debateable if this is considered a requirement for a CIB collection. But it is what it is.

The seller didn't show or note the Conversion Kit and threw it in for free.

Note: I just realized the cart was missing from the pics. Yes, I have it. Also an extra one. ]]> Dust the Rust http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=9&threadid=120866 2014-02-16T21:17:28 -05.00 shortstop444 48 Originally posted by: nintendopower_4_ever

Just copy and pasted My spreadsheet to my Blog. Here it is:

Still being a newbie to this site. Figuring out how all this works. Uploading my spreasheet without losing much of the formating is NIIICE!!

Nice!  I wish I had all this info back when I started collecting SNES  

Looks like one of the only posters and registration cards you are missing is for Fatal Fury Special?
 
It all started with the list of games from Digital Press. Just been waiting all this time for a place like this to confirm anything.

I remember Fatal Fury Special being one I guessed on, especially the Reg. card.
What do they look like?
 

Here is a CIB with poster and Reg. Card that sold this week

Niiiiiice!!! Never saw one of those with a Poster and Reg. card when I was collecting. Most people didn't know or care to show the paperwork.

While checking I realized I have a sealed copy, WHEW!. 

Still need to put those 2 items on my want list so I can scan them for everyone to see later on.
If anyone knows the Part numbers PM me or post them here so I can add them to my spreadsheet.
Would love to have SCANNED files of front and back of each

Still need to track down what's inside Head-On Soccer 

Found my other Super Solitare game. Here's the pic showing both versions.

Welcome to the site shortstop! You have a great set and it looks like you have a lot of knowledge about the SNES. It's nice to have another 100% CIB collector on board. that list that you posted in my poster thread looks really solid. Would you happen to have that list without your personal condition ratings?

Just curious, why did you choose not to include MBR/SR, or ISS, ISSD, Super Copa, or the comp carts? I just threw that up as a place to start.. I can modify it no problem just let me know. By all means pick it apart and/or use it as a template (pay it forward).

Very early on I commited myself to US ONLY games, released CIB. So I stuck to my 'game plan'. ISS, ISSD, Super Copa, Pele & RHI Roller Hocky 95 were still rumors by the time I was done.
But I would definitely like to have them  ]]> Dust the Rust http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=9&threadid=120866 2014-02-16T13:53:51 -05.00 shortstop444 48
