Is it just me or do you guys do it too? I regularly pick up badly titled N64 stuff on eBay that no one else bids on , usually carts and resell it for a bit more money. Best one so far was a CIB Mario Party 2 which was titled "Nintendo Game" I bought it for Ł7 posted (only bidder) and resold it as "Nintendo 64 Cart Game Mario Party 2 CIB" for Ł48 I don't really do it to make money but I can't resist spending Ł5 on a cart that will sell for Ł20 even if I dont actually need it for my collection!

Your mom is a nice lady Posts: 1,957 Group: Senior Members Member #1,189 Joined: January 7, 2013	well I don't need any of the things I buy but i enjoy to I dont buy games for the resale though, i cant be bothered, I only buy a game if its priced lower than retail AND I don't already have it. Been buying more dev stuff and promo items recently though, which drain my wallet quicker than game carts would

I'll buy anything related to the N64, so long as it's a good deal. But only if it's a good deal. I've passed up several colored consoles because they weren't within my price range. But anything that is in my range quickly becomes mine, and it doesn't matter how many I already have.
