I bought a box of games for $70 off a friend who found it for

>>3556062
Contra had a price spike in the last year or so.

More importantly though, do you like the games you got?

rawr hearin abot ppl finding box o' games a yard sales for 10 bux makes me so BLANGRY

>>3556070
A lot are doubles like Contra, Bubble Bobble, the Tengen Pacman/Ms
Pacman that I already own and enjoy. I can't believe Contra had such a price hike, I just Googled it now. Insane.

Yeah, that's very good for 2016

>>3556070

Probably a fad follower who can only value games based on how much of a financial get he got.

That being said, go check ebay for sold listings to price them yourself. With prices as shit as they are these days, $70 for a box of NES games will probably be an OK deal most of the time. Fuck, even SMB/DH is selling for more than a dollar, which I find hilarious.

>>3556062
In this day and age, yeah, that's an amazing deal. You could probably make your money back just selling that Contra.

How many are there? It looks like there are a couple layers. What games are underneath?

>>3556062
>Fester's Quest

Enjoy the pain.

>>3556062
Sqoon is a pretty hard to find game and is alone almost worth what you paid for everything.

pretty good selection of games desu, guardian legend is fun.

>>3556090

>Arkanoid

I see great fun in your future.

>>3556371
But I own these already except for Arkanoid. I know they're VERY fun. I was only gonna buy half the box of what I wanted before offered me the entire box. He asked me to name a price, and I knew that I could've low balled him and said "I'll give you $40" but I offered $80 and he settled on $70.

I'm looking forward to Sqoon. I love shit like In the Hunt.

>>3556062
Jelious of the Sqoon

>>3556062
>Another TOTALLY NOT bait thread.

You did SHIT, you only got 10 decent game, rest is shit.

You wish you got that lot for $10, you got KEKED.

>>3556208
Please tell me you are trolling.

SQOON IS COMMON AS SHIT, AND ITS ALSO SHIT, NO JOKE.

>>3556360
26 good games for $70, ok yeah, you did good.

>>3556393
Never seen it once at a retro shop or out in the wild. There's 3 or 4 on eBay right now. The famicom version is quite common but not the NES release.

also fuck your shit, it's a great game

>>3556360
>Solomon's Key
>Fester's Quest
>Deadly Towers
>The Adventures of Bayou (billy)
>Milon's Secret Castle

You will be swearing like a sailor and probably only finish 2-3 of those particular titles in your remaining lifetime.

>someone gets a legitimately good deal on old games
>everyone tries to make him feel bad for buying it
Never change /vr/

Pretty shitty.

You should feel bad.

>>3556435
Fester's Quest is fun once you bust out a MAX Controller for it.

>>3556443

The problem with festers quest is that virtually no gun works in confined spaces since they don't shoot straight and 95% of the game takes place in confined spaces.

>enemy is coming down the sewer towards you
>Shoot it
>Your shot hits the wall immediately to your left.
>you are helpless until you get another gun powerup or the whip
>the whip automatically picks up debuff items if you are fighting a group of enemies

They took the worst and hardest components of master blaster and made an even harder game out of it.

It even says to use auto-fire joysticks in the manual.

Kid Icarus is fun!

I'd play these

That is a good score, you have some gems in there. I imagine Pat the NES punk will surely be playing some of them soon in his completely unnecessary lets plays

sup, /v/,
I got this for $55, everything works. How did I do?
Oh, also not pictured is a perfect condition Super Mario 64.

>>3556195
But that's a fun game.

>>3556062
Mostly shitty games. You probably paid about what you could get for it on ebay.

>>3556062
Guardian Legend, Kid Icarus, Solomon's Key, Faxanadu, and Contra are pretty sweet. So there's that.

This is unforgivable game design. Just look at how this gun works. If the game had a reliable straight shooting weapon this would be a moderate challenge at best. All of the difficulty comes from finding the sweet spot to stand in to make your gun work.

Even at $10 a piece, you did well for paying out $70.Bubble Bobble is worth a lot, so is Contra and several other games.

>>3556479
That's the stupidest fucking thing. Was the game just made to encourage you to buy a turbo stick?

>>3556716
Seems legit

>>3556062
Sounds like you paid about 7x more than you should have.

>>3556878
The music's pretty badass though.

I'm pretty jealous. Trying to complete (excluding super impossible ones like NWC, BB Babes, etc.) my NES collection and am missing about 200 or so, and there are a decent chunk in what you got that I need.

Please tell me you started this like 10 years ago.

>>3556971
OP here, I remember buying Earthbound at Babbages or Planet X many years ago loose for $50. I thought at the time it was an absurd amount to pay.

>>3556896
I actually did get all that for $55, I got ridiculously lucky and caught a backroads garage/moving sale. The couple selling had a box of nes games and said they had a lot more for most of the oldschool systems, which they offered to go look for, eventually finding a bit, the husband offered to let me come back later when they find more, but I offered to help search, found the ps1 just sitting there, and the nes itself. They made me offer, and my heart was a bit soft at the moment, so I offered $40 for the nes, ps1, mario 64 and like 6 nes games(btw, there's a reason castlevania and mario 2 are seperate: no carts, boxes only... wah wah wahhh...), which they accepted, I gave them my number and asked that they let me know if they get more.

Well, later that day he texts me and says he found more games, so I go over and he has 5 boxed nes games, a nes controller, and a nfs game for ps2, which I offered $10 for and he accepted.

Finally, just this morning, he texts me again and says he has zelda 2(I previously only got the box) and says he'll take $5 for it, and the cart looks like it's in good condition so I accept and he drops it off.


First time getting a score this good, but yeah, OP could've just googled this, either he was just wanting to show off, or he is legit lazy AF.

>>3557484
The guy also said he had about 15 more boxed nes games, but they couldn't find them, and I was really hoping to find more n64 stuff after seeing that mario 64 cart.

Anyway, the guy said he used to love playing games, but his eyesight got so bad he just couldn't see to play anymore, and games would make his head hurt, plus he said he didn't want to spend $600 for the glasses he would need(I got mine+ another pair for like $60, and my eyes are shit, so Idk). That shit actually sucks, losing something you love. The dude seemed pretty chill, but fuck this is getting way too off-topic.

>>3556360
Yeah, you did well.

>>3556062
Kid icaros has some monetary value, but imo only the guardian legend is worth playing in the whole lot of them.

>>3556878

Reached final boss 2 times, didn't beat him. Took me around 2-3 hours each time and I didn't try again after that.

>>3556479
>>3556892

Actually I had one (joystick). It sucked for most games but FQ is so slow moving it was playable anyway.

I'll take this as the latest recent pickups thread
got this for 40, came with all wires. he was asking 50.
how'd I do?

>>3558776
Gradius, the Magic of Scheherezade, and Contra are also good.

>>3556062
Gyromite is going to be completely useless without a R.O.B.

>>3559029
Gyromite is perfectly playable without ROB, and it's actually decently fun.

>>3558821
Games aren't really worth too much, though you'll have a good time with the system. Worth your 40 I think.

>>3559035
>>3559029
I'm planning on opening up Gyromite to see if it has the adapter. What are the chances the early action series launch titles might actually have it?

>>3559076
You can usually tell just by picking it up. It would feel a bit heavier than a typical NES cart.

>>3556062
Pretty good, mane.

>>3556062
>$70 off a friend who found it for $10
Your own friend ripped you off.

>>3556384
>I offered $80 and he settled on $70
I guess while you're making shit up you might as well make it as ridiculous as possible, right?

>>3561025
He felt bad that he was making such a huge profit. He even called before I sorted them and apologized and I told him it's okay that we made a fair deal and people sometimes get lucky.

This isn't some story with Cheetahmen 2 or Bubble Bobble 2 was in the box. Why would I make this shit up?

>>3561352
Why would you?

Also my copy of Pinball has the converter in it. Need to find a way to shave this bad boy.

>>3561025
Seems legit to me if it was his friend, bro. I've paid more than someone asked or accepted less than someone offered if they were a friend.

Every year I lose more hope of finding good deals in the wild. Then every year I find even more great shit than the last year.

60 games for $70? You have no reason to worry about how you did.
