Amazing! Excellent job!

Price drop on the Samurai to $350 + shipping. If that's too much please let me know what a reasonable price should be

@wyansas @SilverspoonGaming What are the stamped numbers on the back labels of your N7 carts? Are there any letters along with the numbers?

Artificially inflated games are definitely dropping. I'm finishing up my Wii U set and have a couple of the "heavies" left over. Funky Barn is at $70 but one was listed on eBay in great shape for $50 and my best offer of $40 was accepted quickly. I'll get Devil's Third and Turbo when those inevitably drop. Lots of people in Facebook groups trying to hype those to the Moon but the joke will be on them soon. Devil's Third is already down from $500+ CIB to $350.

Err... Is that a reference to something? Not sure I understood

I would like to know this as well. I have one NOS.

How much is an N7 even worth these days?

@MiamiSlice I'm interested in the watermelon N64. It's the last one I need for my Funtastic set and I've been looking for a decent priced one for the longest time. Please let me know if you have a trade list for it (or cash price).

You can. But you need to hack your 3ds first to make it region free. It's not too hard.

Well technically, there actually are white Wii U cases but they were never officially used for Wii U games. And I'm not talking about Legend of Kay. Regular Wii U cases are ECO-BOX branded and they are mostly red, blue or green. But there are white ones used for some Wii games. I've mostly seen them on Wii refurbished games and some late print Wii releases.

Just got this 5-screw Volleyball with TM.

EDIT: Double post

I really liked Unwound Future perhaps even more than the first game. The other Layton sequels were pretty 'meh'.

Price drop on the Samurai!

Is this the one with the rotating screen?

No idea who they are but they might have always been around since years. This game was never cheap if I remember correctly and was always one of the more expensive 3DS games.

Damn! I have a sealed one I found in Dubai few years ago. Wonder what it's worth now. This game has always been somewhat uncommon since release if I remember correctly.

From what I understand there are now 5 label variants: 1) 3-line Game Link logo 2) 2-line Game Link logo with no letter A in stamped code 3) 2-line Game Link logo with letter A in stamped code 4) Player's Choice 5) Best Buy rated E I think the 2nd one is the newly discovered variant.

I'm more impressed that you managed to sneak it past your wife

Bump! Added bootleg GBA SP consoles and games.

Local pickup yesterday. Everything for $150 including the Lens Cleaning Kit and official Wii U gamepad extended battery!

Uh oh, I might have to take back my comments about the board swap because of that 3196 lockout chip. Never seen that before. Does this work in an Asian Version NES? The usual lockout chip for this region is 3196A.

@wyansas 1) The 1st edition Asian Samurai SMB: I'm quite sure the seller* swapped out the original PCB, most probably because it got damaged or wouldn't boot. These days there's awareness that Samurai carts are valuable to collectors and unscrupulous sellers will do anything to make a quick buck. SMB carts from all regions are easily available in India and it's not hard to get an NTSC PCB. Would you mind posting a clear picture of the board? Is the lockout chip also for NTSC consoles? 2) The SMB Samurai cart: I would say only 30% of carts with pure Samurai labels have legit Nintendo boards. Most of them have bootlegged boards with windowed ROM chips. Samurai officials claim these are the work of a pirate outfit but I HIGHLY doubt that. I'm pretty sure Samurai themselves bootlegged the boards, with or without Nintendo's knowledge. And I have pretty damning proof: I found a few games with original Nintendo boards fitted with windowed ROM chips! Now where would a pirate outfit get official Nintendo boards from? Pretty sure it was Samurai themselves transitioning from 100% official boards to 100% bootlegs. 3) The Asian-Spanish cart: I have no damn clue . The board has a lockout chip with the code 3196A and that was meant for Asian and Hong Kong versions. Maybe the label was just a weird misprint * Maybe not your seller but a previous one, basically from the original overseas seller.

Of course, pretty sure nobody's bootlegging GBA video carts
