>>Paying 100 for a shit game.
Why post this? Why? What did you accomplish?
>>2824713
Fuck off, it usually goes for 200+ on eBay. As unfortunate as it is, 100 is a steal these days.
>>2824709
>blockbuster+earthbound
a rare relic indeed. i see no reason to not purchase it
>>2824726
I don't get it, does the blockbuster sticker somehow increase the value? I mean, I know blockbuster is gone and what not, but I planned on removing the sticker if I can purchase it.
>>2824730
The sticker adds 40-50 value.
>>2824734
Don't listen OP, this guy is trolling.
>>2824748
Good is a C which that appears to be. Stickers are easy to get off

Not craigslist, but this was at a pawn shop I was in yesterday.
>mfw I walked out with a gamecube with 2 controllers and resident evil 0 for 16.50 and they had a game gear for $15
>>2824904
you could at least have some fun asking "how much is 'da cunt'? and snickering when told 20 bucks...
>>2824904
THIS wtf! why are game gears going down in value. I know many are shilling 15-35 dollars but they NEVER have the damn battery covers and the screens always look like shit. if they are that much than the nomad needs to be about 40 dollars than.
>>2824904
20$ for mario
i used to be able to find that at yard sales for less than a dollar
>>2824940
>why are game gears going down in value
Because people don't want them. When something is just going to sit on a shelf forever it goes down in value
My retail place sells things at pretty fair prices because they're constantly rotating stock. The only things that really sit on the shelf are the higher ticket items like rarer Saturn games and such.
I'm going to start selling repro Blockbuster stickers
>Give your repro that authentic texture
>>2824953

i remember when the video game store here started selling off all their nes snes genesis games etc for 50 cent to a dollar, i shouldve bought everything
they just threw the entire inventory into the dumpster when the store went out of business
big money
>>2825362
That nes zapper & 3 copies of wii fit is worth at least $1000 big ones.
>>2824904
Maybe its a joke or gag they have going on there.
Craigslist would be better if people could get banned for leaving hanging replies, standing you up, or only showing up with half the money.
>>2825375
if only there was some type of site where you could post an item and people could bid and be committed to buy it
Fuck it I'll play. Let's see what local idiots are hawking this week
>>2825382
Such a site as the scrolls have foretold are those far outside our borders, one must never go there. Very few come back in good shape, and they tell of absurdly high prices, mislabeled merchandise, and worst of all....jews....[/spoilers]
...Some say it's nothing but legend...I'd rather it stay that way. You musn't talk about that again, pretend it doesn't exist, don't spread it as a rumor, and dare not give it a name. Go back to sleep, and mention it not again unless you wish to be beat, my child.
>>2825387
Another by the same idiot. This one isn't as ridiculous. Should I post the king idiot who has a warehouse full of arcade equipment that he spams Craigslist with and won't take less than 4x what it's actually worth?
>>2825404
Well, considering Arcade equipment is generally much less prevalent then even the "rare" maintstream games on NES or SNES (especially in working condition) and its also way more niche, it wouldn't surprise me he's asking for the moon.

Oh well.
>>2825528
Yeah I got mine from a dude in Burnaby.
>>2825529
at least you got a working xbox with yours. I can't even play mine, cause >lolnoxbawx. Probably should pick one up from gamedeals, but I don't wanna pay 80 bucks for a standard one or w/e the price was last time I was in there.
>>2825531
Dude Gamedeals is so fucking shit of a store I can't even.
I went there with my brother to see if we could find anything decent.
Everything good is behind the glass. At eBay prices. I was going to buy Rule of Rose for 110 a year or so ago, but I picked one up online for 85 that week.
Every single N64 game in the bins was fucking Madden.
Some stuff was OK prices, but the selection is garbage, and its so fucking disorganized.
I don't see why they'd charge you 80 for an OG Xbox when last time I went there was like fucking 20 of them behind the counter.
Trash store. Its a shame its the only real one even remotely closeby.
not vr but lol.
>2 sony controllers
>>2825538
the sega stuff is okay priced, but the selection is bad. At one point they were charging 90 bucks for super yellowed SNES', and in general the Nintendo tax is fucking high on everything from NES to N64 (gamecube is okay priced for some reason).
also they sell retron 5's, which is just icing on the fucking cake.
If I ever get a working xbox, I'd be up for LAN'ing SB (Line of Contact presumably because I'm fairly sure the main game doesn't come with LAN or XBL capabilities)
>nintendo collecting
If you want to collect NES/SNES you can check out the neo geo, they are in the same price range.
>>2824940
Because who the fuck is willingly going out of their way to buy a Game Gear in 2015? I even like the handheld but come on man hardly anyone gives a shit about it as opposed to the Gameboy.
Pioneer Laserdisc player that has Sega Genesis + CD and TurboGrafx expansions.
Can play special Genesis Laserdisk games called Mega LD.
A very interesting combo of obsolete hardware
>>2825563
Gamegear will always be niche as fuck and I think people are starting to realize that its honestly really fucking hard to play a gamegear.
>basically gotta be plugged in at all times
>Screen is full colour, but it was really early LCD so its full of fucking ghosting
>the thing is a fucking brick and weighs a ton
If there was like, a gamegear version of the super gameboy or gameboy player it would probably be more successful, but I honestly don't see people going out of their way to play gamegear.
Gameboy was also just straight up more popular.
>>2825605
>basically gotta be plugged in at all times
Actually with modern batteries they last a little longer than some newer handhelds like the 3DS. Amazing it took only 20 years for the Game Gear to actually have a somewhat viable life for portable gaming.
>>2825362
>7 copies of AcDc Rockband
>tfw got SNES, FF2, FF3, Illusion of Gaia, Super Metroid, Super Mario World, Secret of Mana, Secret of Evermore, Star Fox, Super Castlevania, Mega Man X, and Super R-Type for $60 dollars
>all virtually brand new in box with all inserts
This was from ebay just 5 years ago. Things went to shit fast.
>>2825605
I remember playing a friend's Gamegear in elementary school when it first came out. My first impression back then was that games all felt slow and clunky and the screen was too small. And that was before I was jaded.
>>2825605
Could you replace the LCD screen? Would that help the ghosting problems?
>>2825569
That shit is interesting, I'd jump on that.
>>2825816
Definitely. I don't want to spend $800 tho.
I just thought y'all would find it interesting. I had never heard of it before.
Goes for about $500 on eBay. I think the TurboGrafx expansion is much rarer than the Sega one.
>>2825815
You can now, but it's expensive to do. The Nomad is much easier to do because it has a tv out that you can tap into.
>>2824734
You can't be this much of a faggot.
>>2825414
It's their size and weight that makes them not worth very much. Pleb casuals can drop a couple hundred on a whim and pick up a Saturn game that looks nice on da shelf but as we both know, to own cabs is a commitment.
Seriously though this is a typical Craigslist post for arcade stuff in central Ohio now thanks to that guy. This may not even be the same guy because this cab is cringeworthy. The ass guy's shit is just in various levels of completeness not... this.
>>2826561
I guess theres a company around here (Vancouver) that builds multi-cades so whenever I search "arcade" on CL I always see that shit.
I also see a lot of guys selling various mame setups (no doubt because yeah, its a really large space commitment, and generally they require a bit of work themselves) or weird multi-cade converisons of actual cabs.
Although just checking someone's actually selling 2 vectrex' listed at 150... Man whats with all the cool shit getting posted lately, its usually garbage.

>>2826581
That can I posted is a conversation of a Phoenix Cocktail which MIGHT have been MAYBE worth $700 to a collector complete. I'm not even hating on the little multicade board that's been put in it since it has Phoenix on it but it has an LCD monitor in it and the glass has been replaced with a plexi sheet that isn't even the right size and has then been bolted right down into the cabinet top. Plus that Pixels movie sticker makes me want to punch a baby.
Two Vectrexes for $150 for BOTH? Do they both work? You could sell one for enough to pay for both and maybe buy a multicart on top.
>>2826616
>it looks as great as it sounds

I have it still in the box, mint condition, all books included. Bought it for $20 in a bargain bin at Sams.... Many years ago.

I really don't have any interest in stuff pre-NES era.
I guess I could message him and buy it, but it would just sit on my shelf as shelf candy. I could get it, and sell them to /vr/ but I dunno its kind of annoying to buy stuff on CL honestly, its whats stopping me from doing the ~3 hour round trip to buy that steel battalion.
>>2827158

>>2827131
Good luck! probably a very rare find but definitely something that could slip through the crack as it just looks like an old stereo.
>>2827452
Wow that is a fucking amazing deal. If he has the overlays lost somewhere then the games alone would be pretty much worth it not even including the 2 (fucking two!) consoles.
Hopefully some Vancouver Anon will see us discussing this and snag them.
I wish that anon from 2013 who was trying so sincerely to repair that Vectrex he bought for $50 were here.
>>2827452

>>2827606
hopefully they still have them, if the cunt resellers haven't already scooped them up.
>>2824904
Jesus fuck how I wish I had snapped these up when they were 60 cents each...
>>2827612
Vancouver craigslist is a fucking joke for the most part.
Its almost always junk, or guys asking eBay prices. I would trust that most people have no idea what the fuck a Vectrex even is, likewise, if its not Nintendo people have no idea, like that guy selling Steel battalion for 50 bucks when its like 300 online.
>>2827628

Yeah, this is a great deal. The console itself is worth somewhere around $30, and a working copy of Smash is worth at least $25, and I'm pretty sure Mario Kart 64 is pretty cheap, like maybe worth $10. But I'm not sure how much Super Mario 64 is worth. This is not to mention the two controllers in what seem to be working order.
>tl;dr get money quick because this is a once-in-a-lifetime offer
>>2825415
>>2827697
If you go by eBayHURRR RESELLER SCUMSmash and Kart are an east $40-50 each, Super Mario is $20-30.
If he can scrape up $60 to buy it, then stick the lesser between Kart or Smash on eBay BIN for $45, he's got an N64 and two Mario games for $15

Vectrex' are gone afaik. The ad was deleted.
I'll leave the Steel battalion for another 3 days since I really don't feel like doing a 3 hour round trip right now. It'd be cool for LAN, but they're so fucking big who knows.
>>2829491
yes that is the goblin queen
>>2825538
Shopped around Vancouver, absolutely agree about GameDeals.
I got yelled at for trying to get a better look at one of the consoles behind the counter, when it really looked like it was set up to let people do that.
Not that I was going to pay $120 for just the console or whatever the fuck they wanted for it.
Any anon around Vancouver should check out Press Start if they haven't already. It's kind of messy and disorganized, but there's plenty of great stuff in there and the owner is a bro. It's fairly close to GameDeals actually, not hard to get to even by transit.
I would worry about posting the name of the place here, but I'm pretty sure they're used to handling worse people than anything /vr/ can throw at them.
>>2831774
>nintendo game boy player for gamecube

This nigger has been posting this same ad, every single day, for the past year and a half.

That guy really needs that $69 for some reason. He could have sold each game individually on ebay for like $5 and at least made something by now.

People who try to make bank on Atari games are funny. I've seen a number of people who post a listing for 5-10 Atari games and want basically 10-20 bucks per cart purely because they're "vintage". They almost always consist of the same thing
>star raiders
>ET
>combat
>bowling
>defender
>3 copies of Pac man for some reason
>asteroids
>football
>"ONLY 75 FOR THE WHOLE LOT, OWN A PIECE OF HISTORY!"
>>2832776
And Atari games are almost worthless.
>>2832790
The average 2600 game is worth maybe 5 bucks at most, typically 2 or 3 dollars is a more realistic price. There are a few worth money, but for standard releases 30-40 bucks is about as expensive as Atari games get. You only get into the hundreds and thousands territory when talking about actually rare stuff like the xante carts or air raid. It's not crazy artificial rarity due to demand like with NES and SNES. Honestly that's what makes Atari such a joy to collect for, you can drop 30 bucks and walk away with 10 or 15 games that are all enjoyable.
Funniest thing I've seen in a while.

Same way a local game shop once had a bin full of SNES Super Scope 6 and Madden cartridges. Nobody bought them so they just accumulated.
Guy came along, found all those Combats, perhaps for cheap, decided to buy them all for fun and rolled from there. Or maybe bought them with plans to gut them for home brew carts.
I found a PS2 at Goodwill last week for $30. Yay or nay, guys?
I didn't take any pics, but it was nasty as fuck. Coated in that dusty sticky shit. Melted plastic on one of the the AV cable plugs. I dunno, I guess I can clean it up, though...
>>2835796
I paid like 40 bucks for a slim silver PS2 with 2 controllers, 2 memory cards, all the hookups and some random games on eBay like 3 months ago.
So no. Don't buy a shitty gross PS2 for 30 dollars.
