Well, I'll pick it up (hopefully the guy doesn't back out; this is a private sale from a guy who works at a games store). I offered Kup first, so I have to honour that. If not, you can have it.Black Lotus wrote:That's a ridiculous deal. Screw Kup, gimme.
Don't worry about the bonus stuff. I'll just recoup whatever I pay for it like I do with everyone.Black Lotus wrote:I would be much obliged. I have a friend who's willing to sell me his copy, but he has no idea where it is and I've been waiting six months or more for him to find the fucking thing.
I have some crappy NES/SNES games that I'll never touch again I could send you as a bonus. I don't know if you collect everything or just the good stuff.
Lotus, you lucky fuck. I have been offered another CT for $30 from another employee at that store. I'll get it next Saturday. I can't believe I actually got two of them in a week. I usually don't see two of them in a year. Merry Christmas......Zeus wrote:Don't worry about the bonus stuff.

I just collect the good stuff. For the NES, the only things I'm looking for actively are RC Pro Am 2 and Bubble Bobble Part 2 (NOT Rainbow Islands).

Admit it. You all talk behind my back as soon as I leave the room.

Yes, Zeus, please get! We'll work out details through email or Messenger. Drop me a message about your preferred payment method.
I meant you were missing from here....Kupek wrote:I thought I got back to you a few hours after you IMed me. I'm almost always on IM.

Oh, I'm deserving, Andrew. Keep in mind this is only the second videogame I've bought this year.
Haha, I don't actually want it, I just wanted to rile up KupekZeus wrote:Andrew, these would be US copies, would they play on whatever system (SNES or FC Twin or something) you have down there?

I think Sine would agree...I'm pretty laid back and easy going.If it's complete, then $50 is a good price.

Zeus how DARE you insinuate that stores like EB and Gamestop have a poor business model that needs improving! They are PERFECT the way they are! Buy a used game for $20, sell it for $40! And FUCK ANYONE who has the AUDACITY to try to buy a game on the release date WITHOUT A PRE-ORDER!Zeus wrote:If it's complete, then $50 is a good price.

There's a lot of game stores that think they can charge Ebay prices. They really can't. So they have this game sitting there for months at a time 'cause they wanna get that extra $10 or $20 (the one I'm trying to get for Lotus is going to be $30, which is reasonable and below Ebay). It's stupid from a business sense considering they live and die on turnover. Take $20 less, buy other stuff with it. Make you're extra $5 there (say it's a new game). Turn that over, say, 3 times a month and instead of having the $50 game sitting there for an extra 6 months you've now made $70 ($5 x 3 times per month x 6 months less the original $20 you gave up).
It's cart only. I can assure you it's nigh impossible to find any kind of bargain or deal at this place, and the owner is not one to barter. 'Twould probably explain why this stuff sits around so long. I would've bought up Super Metroid as well as a lot of their NES collection long ago if not for pricing.Zeus wrote:If it's complete, then $50 is a good price.

It's a bulky mp3 player and a barely usable size for movies, but the fact it does both and there's a good dozen games for it makes it worth it now at $170 Cdn (although I prefer the old one over the slim myself). But you NEED at least a 2GB stick for it. I got a 4GB one from Ebay for $39 US ($40 Cdn) after shipping so make sure you go there for those. They're about 2/3rds the price. Current sale at Futureshop is $60 for a Sandisk one; I got a Sony one from Hong Kong for $40.Black Lotus wrote:That PSP is getting mighty tempting with FFT and Drac X. Not to mention the multimedia possibilities and hacking it for emulation.
You need to have a healthy Capcom (G&G, MegaMan) and Konami (Silent Hill Origins, Drac X Chronicles) in your PSP collection. Capcom has released the best overall for it IMO.bovine wrote:new Wipeout Pulse comes out next month, I'm pretty stoked about that one. My stack of PSP games pales in comparison to my DS library, but there are some quality titles in there.
