Same here -- I've got around 100 different games (most have mint labels) for $2 each + shipping as well.



You'll find that if you really look hard enough, you don't have to spend a lot to get 97% of the NES collection. Look at some of the guys here, such as Nistle, Burnambill333, and a few others -- these guys don't have a ton of cash to buy games with, but they're damn thrifty. They *find* deals where others do not and sell off extras to pay for more games. If you play your cards right, you could get an entire collection without spending a dime (seriously). Just ask those guys what they do, and I'm sure they'll tell you how to cut corners, find deals, etc.

Yep. been doing exactly that for 4 years, and managed to get every single game besides 4 of em. And used to never buy from ebay. Just hunted flea markets, thrift stores, and pawn shops. I pretty much had to do it this way, im only 21 years old and make a measely 9 bucks an hour, and cant always afford to pay top price for stuff. But i still managed to find pretty much every "FUN" Game to play in the wild. I used to have real awesome luck at sniping early BIN auctions too, thats until nistle started doing it 24/7 and now i dont have much luck LOL

feel free to check out my website below. i made a section explaing where and how i scored a lot of rare nes stuff. Its out there, ya just gotta look :-)

It could happen to you as well! You don't have to spend the big bucks to be a collector, you just have to have the heart and love of one ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=6&threadid=761 2007-04-19T03:11:13 -05.00 Redivivus 6
