Finds (All Others)

[fredJ]

They sold them to stupid people like me. Well, I should be able to sell them... I hope.

What exactly is it? Is it fun to use?

[fredJ]

Yes I think so. You make strokes with that thing in battles.

Hmmm... Turn-based RPG sounds good. That's one of my favorite genres.

not sure exactly how "finds" works, because most of these are not really "finds" but just "stuff I bought from some people." But I was particularly excited about today's arrivals so I wanted to share with y'all.



The Famicom carts are TMNT 1 + 2, Getsu Fuu Ma Den, and Goonies (all from lobdale).
And one copy of Holy Diver from eBay.

The Gameboy carts are where the "finds" business comes in. Shantae on top, well, I paid what you'd expect to pay for that (and this is the second time I've purchased this game...I shouldn't have sold it before). However, chick this out:

Both Trip World and the German release of Pop 'n Twinbee cost me 8 Euro each, with shipping. I feel like that's some kind of all time greatest find. The labels are a bit faded and the carts are a bit dirty, but they both work great and I'm stoked to have a European Trip World in my collection. There are a few other good games in that pile too, but nothing worth mentioning.

Oh, and the Vita was a "gift" from work (I work for a Sony company). All told...today is a GREAT day for my collection.

All employees get a Vita as a gift? Neat! 

[nusilver]

hehe. no, just me, because i run the game content division here, and also i told my boss i needed to expense it. (it's actually related to what we do...i just can't talk about it, lol)

[manuel]

Ah, that makes sense!

[fredJ]

Yes the EU Trip World can be found quite cheap if you are lucky, but you need to be lucky...  of course we all need luck to make finds... The Japanese seems more rare, I have only seen it a few times.

I got this today, mostly junk but I hope Doom and Mario&Wario (mouse included!) will pay the expenses.. and the rest will be a surprise. I love surprises!

Yeah, it was funny. I was hoping to find a European copy and sent an email to a colleague in Berlin. I didn't actually expect him to find me a copy within 2 days of my email, nor did I expect it to be so cheap. So yes, definitely lucky. 

[manuel]

Awesome colleague you got there.

I scored 17 cib genesis games and a loose copy of ninja gaiden 2 from one of the mangers at my work today all for 43 bucks think it was a good deal?

[Frank_fjs]

That's a great deal at $2.39 per game!

There are some great games in the mix too, in fact they're pretty much all good games. Sometimes I see people posting about bargain bulk lots but all the games are crappy sports/puzzle games that no-one in their right mind would ever play.

[BonBon]

Yeah he had a bunch of sports and puzzle games but I told he could keep those ones.
