zombi | 22 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) As some of you know, I recently sold my entire gaming collection and use those funds to pay off my student and car loans. Ironically, weeks later, I scored one of my biggest bundles ever. I still have my Criagslist wanted ads that I’ve used for years in my area. That ad stopped bringing in contacts a while ago, but out of the blue a guy emailed me about having some games available. He said that he cleaned out houses and got a bundle he wanted to sell. I got his phone number and had him text me some pictures of the lot (shown in the image gallery). As I scanned the end labels of the NES titles, I immediately noticed the light green label of one of the rarest titles in the library. A game that a used to own and sold along with the rest of my collection. Crazy to think that these scores do still happen in the wild. I haven’t found any bundles in several months and that was a small reason why I decided to cash out. Will this bring me back into seriously game collecting? No, I doubt it. I’m content with my the consoles I kept and the Everdrives that are arriving. I guess you just never know what is still out there.

RH | 4,900 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 This is insane and congrats. But you know what, after "getting out of collecting" to pay debts, this is a great way to kickstart the habit hobby again, if you've paid those debts off. Absolutely crazy that someone on here found a Little Samson in the wild. Any chance it had the manual? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had probably been 6 months since that last time I ever scored anything in the wild back when I was seriously collecting. And no, it didn't have the manual.

RH | 4,900 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Well, I could be interested in the Little Samson. PM me if you want to let it go for a decent price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drxandy | 3,225 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Frickin score! Life is weird like that right? Nice to see scores are still out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowser | 598 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 The scores are definitely still out there. A couple of weeks ago there was an ad on Facebook Marketplace for NES games for $15 each. One of them was Bubble Bobble Part 2. The ad was only 10 minutes old when I saw it but of course I was already too late. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strikezone1 | 154 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Nice! Yeah it's crazy how these types of things happen in life as far as the timing goes.. It's funny how all the other NES games in the lot appear to be super-commons, and then there's Little Samson. Congrats on the score and great story. Thx for sharing!
