Post everytime you buy something game related and your unbelievable deals

Well mainly becauseall the GC owners bought a Wii and as it's backward compatable there are a glut of machines, a bit much like the original Playstation. Here in Japan you can get a GC with PSU for less then the cost of the AV lead... the Pads generally get kept too... I've lost count of the number of shops that have 10+ Gamecubes but not a single Gamecube pad or AV lead...

 

Last time i bought a cube it was £25 but that was the mario smash football pak so not sure if that makes a difference to the price and apart from the used looking box everything else was perfect condition and almost brand new looking. I'd pick up any cheap Gamecubes and have a collection of them as i love the things.

Just need a few more games, a wavebird as the only problem i have with the console is that the controller cable si way too short.

 

Well I modded some ppls 360's they gave me there games I traded them in and preordered a Resident Evil 5 Elite, and I had to spend $80 on it. And then I found a guy and he accepted my trade offer for his HDMI test kit. My offer was that I send him my RE5 Elite and he sends me the test kit and we each pay our own shipping. He sent to me first, let me test it for a week, then I sent him my console. So basically I got a test kit for $80. The test kit is an 07 HDMI kit WITH the side car. With the MS seal still intact. It's the new paper one so that leads me to believe that it has been repaird by MS but hey thats fine because it is newer then what is on the back.

Exactly the same here.......so many machines and a lack of pads

 

and now your selling it for 12 :lol:

 

Rightly so, money to be made. Being unemployed isn't fun.

 

I know I am new.
But, hey, I have to start from something:
I bought an Intellivision (unboxed) for 14€, a Working Sega Saturn with 3 Games for 20€, a RE4 limited edition Nintendo Gamecube + RE4 Sealed for 50€.
I won an Elite 360 (the black one) in a Guitar Hero World Tour Tournament.
A friend of mine gave me his Dreamcast for free.
I found an iMac from the 1998 (the first model) in the street.
Bought for 15€ various games for various console (they were 12, including a SEALED killer instinct gold for the N64 and an Asian Alien Soldier)
And I'll probably buy a Virtual Boy for 50€-80€.

 

Video Games Live autographed poster

I just received this poster in the mail today. It was given to me in appreciation for the volunteer work and photography I have done at numerous (around five) Video Games Live concerts. The poster was from their very first show in 2005 at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.

Yeah, I'm pretty happy Framed it as soon as I got it home. They give these posters out in a draw that everyone can enter who attends a concert, but they didn't get too many of these posters signed at their first show. Probably one of the coolest video game items I now own.

You can see some of the photos I had taken at VGL concerts here, here, and here.

A S1, or N1 might be nice one day - if I stumble over another deal.

 

Delivered for $45, yes please. ;-)

 

Hmm, some of the best deals...

1. About 5 years ago, I got Street Fighter Zero 3, Samurai Showdown Collection, Fatal Fury Collection, Metal Slug, and Vampire Savior Chronicles for the purchase price of a pizza . Those games are ALL very rare, and my friend back then worked at a used game shop and had no use for imports. He bought the games from a guy for 5 bucks total, and gave them to me in the promise that I would buy a pizza for dinner.

2. A couple months ago, I got my Nintendo 64 DD collection and Panasonic Q for dirt cheap. The N64 DD came with the DD, the Japanese system, 2 controllers, memory card, Gameboy transfer pack, a Japanese version of F-zero X (to work with the EK game) and every game made for the DD except Doshin 2 and Japan Pro Golf, each with all their boxes, sleeves, cases, instruction booklets, and accessories in mint condition for 400 bucks. I offered him that price, and he took it... the kit is worth MUCH more than that! The Panasonic Q was from the same guy, for just over a hundred.


Think those are the best scores I've had that I can remember. I've gotten a lot of deals, but those are the most memorable .

 

I thought I'd posted this in here, but maybe I was mistaken.
