  1. Given that I sold off all the games, I decided to move all the associated hardware too. Not nearly as valuable, although the gameboys had boxes, even if one of them was torn. Neither of the SNESes were 100% though (one shell was badly busted, and one had a bad controller port), and the psx has a busted optical drive. Surprised that the power glove was worth as much as it charted at too, but I still had the sensors, so technically it's usable (or as usable as that thing ever was). Nothing ultra rare, but still got more than I expected for it. If nothing else, there's enough that you can piece together with things like RF switches and working controllers. Ended up hanging onto the original DS (still need to find the Metroid demo cart that goes with it) and the GBA (I had the box, but not sure where the actual console is), but the rest of that stuff is gone (2x NES, 2x SNES, 3xN64, 1xpsx, and a bunch of controllers and hookups). .
  2. So I just sold all of this locally: Responded to a couple of those Kijiji ads saying "we buy old video games" and gave them the listing/pictures for the lot. I ended up going about 30% under my estimates, which is what I expected going for a bundle, but this saved me ebay fees, shipping, and a bunch of hassle. Plus, it meant moving everything, instead of getting rid of the high value stuff, and being stuck with things that wouldn't move. I probably could have done better if I'd held off, but I wasn't really interested in spending the time to become a retro game dealer. Guy who bought the collection said he'd never seen that big a collection of boxed stuff before, which makes me think he hasn't been doing this long. It can't be THAT unusual to find someone who just hung onto everything they bought, can't it? Anyway, happy to cash out. This stuff was getting way too valuable to just sit on a shelf collecting dust, and I have this sneaking feeling that the number of people who are interested in paying $250 for a CIB copy of Mega Man 3 for Game Boy is going to dry up soon
  3. Hey everyone, I've decided to start selling off my retro games that don't get used anymore. There's a spreadsheet on google docs here that lists what I have, as well as an estimate from pricecharting.com, but I'm open to reasonable offers-I'm not sure how close to reality that is. I've started testing games and taking pictures and posting them here, but everything worked the last time I plugged it into a console, and these games have been sitting on a shelf since then. If there's something specific you want to know more about, ask, and I can take more pictures. Going to try to get everything photographed this weekend before offering things wider. Thought I'd post here early first though in case anyone wanted to grab anything.
  4. So I was trying to get extended out for gold before doing the gamepass ultimate deal, so I bought another year of gold from Amazon. Unfortunately, they're geofencing codes now, so having a Canadian account, it doesn't do me any good. If anyone stateside wants an extra 12 months, $50 and it's yours.
  5. Quake III beta: If you have any invites left I'd love one. me@campmurphy.net

     

    Thanks!

  6. If you have a valid XP key with your SP1 discs, can't you just download the binaries that include SP2 and install from there? You shouldn't need to buy a new key if you already have a license. The only issue seems to be that the loader needs a disc with SP2 preinstalled.
  7. I'm also looking to do a softmod, and I think all I'm missing is the AR. I have the memory card and splinter cell-Peter, have you managed to get ahold of one of the games?
  8. Hey-sorry I haven't replied-I was out of town for a couple of days, and then we had a death in the family, so I haven't been at email much. I checked out shipping, and it looks like it's about 30 bucks US to ship to Denver from here, since the box is pretty big and heavy. Tell you what, make it $115 and you've got a deal
  9. Nobody interested? I'm going to be in the states this weekend, which means that I can mail from down there if shipping is going to be cheaper.
  10. I didn't realize that this was getting that hard to find. Amazon lists it as "usually ships in 1 to 2 weeks" if you're interested in taking a chance there.
