I am going to be buying a fellow collector's collection. Most of it anyway. I just wanted to get some input on the whole thing. I know its a good deal, but Im wondering HOW good everyone would consider it to be, and also what you guys just think in general. so far, we have greed on the following for $1,160 + shipping. Boxed Systems: NES SNES N64 Gamecube Gameboy Advance SP PS1 PS2 FAT PS2 Slim Original Xbox Boxed UForce NES Controller about 60 boxed NES games some examples: Super Mario Bros 1, 2, and 3 Soccer, Tennis (black boxes) Metroid 2 Factory Sealed multi carts (one is 50 in 1, the other is like 190 in 1) Low G Man Mega Man (not sure which one) About 20-30 boxed SNES games Some examples: Chrono Trigger Factory Sealed Vegas Stakes illusion of gaia Doom super mario world about 10-20 boxed N64 games some examples: Conkers Bad Fur Day Paper Mario (Factory Sealed) Mario 64 Mario Kart 64 Killer Instinct Gold Banjo Kazooie Perfect Dark (factory sealed) some PS1 games. He has 50, but so far I only know a few, but heres some Im getting so far: Parasite Eve chrono cross wild arms wild arms 2 about 20-30 PS2 games some examples: Factory Sealed Devil Summoner 2 Collectors Edition RPG Maker 2 .Hack G.U. Vol 2 Shadow Hearts Silent Hill 2 Shining Force EXA Shining Force NEO very few gameboy games, these are all of them: Blades of Steel (box only) Castlevania (box only) Double Dribble (box only) Pokemon Fire Red Version Pokemon Silver Version Pokemon Gold Version Wheelof Fortune (box only) GameShark Pro (boxed) he is also throwing in a bunch of extras and surprises. In total its somewhere around 200-250 games Edited by SicCooper, Mar 14 2012, 08:38 AM.

so thats about 3 bucks per game and 400$ for all the consoles? id say thats a very good deal (if the condition is okay of course) Assuming you already own part of the stuff, there's also a lot of resale value there. In short: i would buy it. |

most things are in EXCELLENT condition. He also has a boxed Virtual Boy im thinking about asking about because mine is missing the cardboard insert thing. I also am trying to work in a boxed original gameboy, a PS2 Tekken 5 limited edition fight stick, a special boxd PS2 controller, and some other stuff... |

There is room for profit. The only problem I see is how long can you be out that much money sitting to recoup it. Could be weeks before you'd break even or hit a profit margin. Though you know better at the rate you sell certain items.

well, Im not getting it until I get my next living expenses check, and I will have more than enough to pay all my bills for 4 months and buy this collection. as well as a few other things I have already agreed to buy from a couple people on this forum, the Np100 controller, mario kart controller, and some others. also, Im keeping 90% of it. so I wont be making a profit, I will most likely be making just a little back. Only things Im selling or trading will be doubles, and im hoping that what I get from him will be in better condition that the ones I already have, so Im really hoping for box upgrades here.

well, if you are serious at all about flipping stuff, you need serious money to invest. Before you know it you've got several thousands tied up in stock. Heck, i've got stuff sitting on the shelves that i bought years ago and you need to be financially able to wait it out. Edited by Mk II, Mar 14 2012, 04:43 PM.

sounds like a decent deal. i'd try to add the extra stuff you listed in the lot. buying in bulk can be very rewarding, you've got a good chance with this. EDIT: if you get it, i might be interested in some of your doubles. Edited by Cabanon, Mar 14 2012, 07:11 PM.

Honestly mate, I feel like this is a pretty good deal. You just have to way up if you can afford to spend that kind of money outlaying on all of those items. If it were me and I could afford it, there wouldn't be a second thought. Buying in bulk like this will always put you out in front. I think you should go for it Cooper. I don't think you'll regret it. |

This is a very serious question. Is there anyone in Florida who would be willing to drive me up to New Jersey to pick this up? We would have a place to sleep there over night, food, and I will pay for all gas and everything. PLUS, this collector is also selling a lot more that I am not buying, and his prices are very good. He has a boxed NeoGeo AES system, boxed neo geo games, odysee 2, sega, and more. Tons of stuff, and tons of more boxed games and systems. If anyone is willing to make this trip with me, you will most likely either need a van, truck, or suv. ok. It looks like this is what we are at. Some of the games I couldnt see from the pictures, so it just says things like "the game before Zelda" I was looking at pictures, so he knows which ones I meant. We agreed on $1700 for all of this. boxed systems: NES Action Set SNES regular bundle N64 regular bundle Silver Gamecube Gameboy Advance SP Original PS1 PS2 Fat PS2 Slim Original Xbox NES: Complete: 10 Yard Fight The 3 Games Between Anticipation and Baseball, I cant read em, but I dont have em Bases Loaded Batman BattleToads The game After Battletoads I cant read, but don’t have Bugs Bunny Game Viper Game after Viper Defender II The game after Defender II Double Dribble The game after Festers Quest Gradius The game after Gradius Gyruss Iron Sword Jackal Jaws Swords and Serpents Techmo Bowl Tennis Total Recall Track and Field Wheel Of Fortune Game after World Cup, before Cleaning Kit Jeopardy with red on side of box Game before Journey to Silius Journey to Silius Game after journey to silius Karate kid Game after kings of the beach Game before Zelda Little Nemo Dream Master Low G Man Mega Man Metroid Mickey Mouscapade Game before Mike Tysons Punchout Game after Mike Tysons Punchout NFL game after NARC Game after NFL game Game before Pac-Man Pac-Man Pirates Game after pirates Qbert RBI Baseball Game after RBI Baseball Game before silent service Soccer solstice Super Mario Bros Super Mario Bros 2 Super Mario Bros 3 Dr. Mario Mike Tysons Punchout 50 in 1 sealed 190 in 1 sealed Cart Only: Contra Mega Man 4 Baseball Stars DK Classics Kirbys Advenures Kid icarus Boxed UForce Controller Boxed NES Advantage Controller SNES: Complete: Aladdin Alien Predator Game after Alien Game Before Bulls Vs Blazers Bulls Vs Blazers Game after Bulls Chrono Trigger Fatal Fury Gods Game Before Illusion Of Gaia Illusion Of Gaia Hulk Indiana Jones Jack Nicolas Golf Judge Dredd Jurassic Park 5 Games after Jurassic Park Maximum Carnage Mortal Kombat II Game after Phalanx Game before Si City Sim City 2000 Spider Man XMen Superman Super Mario world Wolverine X-man Zombies ate my neighbors Vegas Stakes (sealed) Doom Phalanx Cart only: dk country dk country 2 super mario all stars turtles IV turtles in Time breath of fire 2 PAL Boxed SNES Controller N64: Complete: Cruisn USA Cruisn World ECW Hardcore Evolution F-Zero X Gauntlet Legends Killer Instinct Gold Mortal Kombat Trilogy Perfect Dark (sealed) PilotWings 64 Rampage World Tor ShadowGate 64 Turok 2 (sealed) Turok Rage Wars Wave Race 64 WCW Nitro WWF Attitude WWF No Mercy Mario Kart 64 Paper Mario (sealed) Super Smash Bros Super Mario 64 007 Goldeneye Conkers Bad Fur Day Banjo Kazooie Castlevania Cart Only: mario party 2 mario party 3 snowboard kids 2 diddy kong racing Gamecube: Custom Robo Lost Kingdoms 2 Reident Evil Resident Evil Zero Sonic Adventure DX Luigis Mansion Mario Kart Double Dash Mario Party 4 Super Mario Sunshine Tales of Symphonia PS1: Chrono Cross Wild Arms Wild Arms 2 The King of Fighters Parasite Eve Xena Twisted Metal Small Brawl Armored Core Armored Core Project Phantasma Crash Bandicoot 007 Tomorrow never dies Croc 2 ridge racer type 4 syphon filter 1 syphon filter 2 syphon filter 3 Nuclear Strike star wars master star wars demolition star wars dark forces tekken 3 Supercross Circuit Monster Rancher 2 Digimon World Bloody Roar II Fade To Black Dukes of Hazzard Driver 2 yugioh forgotten memories Mega Man Legends Mega Man 8 Mega Man X5 MechWarrior 2 Shadow Man Austin Powers Pinball Soul Blade GTA Collectors Edition Grind Session Gundam Battle Assault 2 Gran Turismo 2 Mortal Kombat Trilogy Mortal Kombat Sub Zero Jet Moto Intelligent Cube knockout kings 2001 Harry Potter Sorcerers Stone Power Puff Girls Chemical X-Traction NFL Game Day 98 Puzzle Star Sewer Resident Evil 2 PS2: Onimusha Dawn of Dreams Raiden III Resident Evil Code Veronica X RPG Maker II Ys The Ark Of Nepitism Drakenguard 2 Family Guy Game Grandia II Myst 3 Exile Baulders Gate Dark Alliance II .Hack G.U.

yeah, Ive looked into u hauls and stuff, and I think shipping might be cheaper. He hasnt gotten a shipping quote yet, but if he packs as smartly as he can (flattening the boxes and everything) I think he should be able to ship it all for somewhere around $400 hopefully. cheaper the better though obviously |

Figuring in the cost of gas / time I wouldn't bite on that. I'd cut out the PS1 / PS2 / Xbox stuff and get the cost cheaper. Those are mostly duds, but he has solid Nintendo titles. |

yeah. considering the games are costing me about $3 each, and there are some REALLY expensive ones in there, like Sealed paper Mario n64, CIB Chrono Trigger, etc.. Im so excited, but my check is delayed, so I wont be getting this stuff until the end of April. He is fine with holding it for me. |

let me just start off by saying financial aid is the biggest pain in the @$$ ever. BUT I finally got it all taken care of, very recently, so my check should be arriving this time next month, and then I will be getting this collection. In addition to everything listed, he said he is throwing in a lot of extras, which I am very excited to see what they will be. He also got the shipping price, and its going to be about $250, which is WAY less than I was expecting, and am obviously very happy with that price ![]() ALSO I am still buying the NP100 controller, Mario Kart 64 JAP Game and Controller Bundle, and Red and Yellow empty boxes for JAP controllers from yet another fellow collector. These are the 2 commitments I have made prior to having the money for the stuff, haha. I will also be shifting my video game buying and selling into high gear to make my money back from this purchase as quickly as possible, so expect tons of new posts in the "post when you buy or sell any game" thread like I used to do before I became a broke college kid. haha |

It will be filmed into probably a few pick up videos at least, but I will take pictures too. This purchase will also require an entire new room set up, because it is nearly doubling a few of my collections. Not quite sure what I will be doing yet, but I guess I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. |
