@MatthewnimmoSure, I'd be glad to! It's only gathering metaphorical dust here, after all.  Give me a day or two to get some pics together for you and make sure everything still fires up OK (no reason it shouldn't though). I'll drop you a PM by the weekend.

You are my hero!  Ill check my messages this weekend:). Thanks again 

My answer to OP’s question “to have the collection actually completed” lol. I then shall be wowed. Low bar for me i guess

Hey guys. Thanks for all your help!  I managed to get someone to pick up that game and ship it!

thanks again!

I've been talking to a couple people on other site dealing with the same situation. It sucks that Ebay now requires people to use the contact form which only active members can use instead of the customer support number being down due to covid. They would give you a call back. That's how it's working now.

Wow. Yeah and if you’re suspended you can’t use the contact form lol. So people get screwed. Well hopefully I’ll figure something out. Got items still being shipped 

So ive been buying and selling on ebay for years but last night they permanently suspended my account because they think that something i have legitimately put up there is fraudulent and now i cannot state my case. Furthermore i have items that ive bought and paid for and awaiting shipping but can no longer see them. What on earth can i do??  I cannot even find a number to call that isn’t automated machine 

PM sent @DoctorEncore

Bump

hey guys. Ive managed to knock a few off the list here.  Anyhelp with the others would be greatly appreciated!

specifically with Blackthorne and T-Mek. Can find them on ebay for a small mortgage it seems and WSB

lol, apologies, I was paying attention to something my kid was doing and apparently hitting CTRL-HOME didn't get me to the actual top of the page.  Oops, sorry!

What store is it?

Video game heaven in chesapkeake, VA

So, not sure if this is a thing or maybe im just crazy in even asking this but so far the people on here are serious about collecting so here it goes

i found a game that im looking for at a small chain gaming store BUT they dont ship and its a harder title to find, so i was wondering if i May commission someone to pick up the title and mail it for me. Of course id settle up via paypal with them

not even sure if people even do this. Just bummed that the store policy is against shipping 

thanks in advance!

@Matthewnimmo, that is incredibly kind of you re: BC Racers! I will absolutely take you up on that if @Supergunis willing.

(Supergun, you and I have done business before, long ago at AtariAge with happy results, so I'd gladly do so again. I might like to buy your Doom box too since mine is missing a piece. You don't have an extra Kolibri manual, by any chance? -- I ask, knowing the answer is "no"!)

I will definitely take a look at the WSB situation this week. My extra copy is just gathering dust (or it would be if I didn't have it in an envelope), so I really ought to sell it to someone who'd enjoy it, and I would gladly put you first in line for that. Would you be more interested in a cheaper sunfaded copy, or would you prefer to stick to non-sunfaded copies?

You know if its cib id be interested in either one:). The sunfade would’nt bother me too much. That is very kind to consider parting with one:). Send me a PM after you think it over on a price you are comfortable with!:). Earlier Ive already sent you a PM excited about the thought of getting a cib copy lol

Oh, man, Supergun, had I known that you had a B.C. Racers box I would've totally hit you up for it -- it's one of only two I need (the other is Spider-Man, but I need the whole game anyway).

Enjoy, Matthewnimmo!

P.S. I do have an extra World Series Baseball 32X I keep meaning to sell -- have to figure out whether I want to keep the nice, pristine one or the more sunfaded one.  Crazy how high the prices have gotten on that game, and Web of Fire too.

@Supergunif bronzeshield still needs BC Racer box go ahead and offer it to him before me. Just tonight i found a CIB one that is coming my way:). Might as well make him happy!

@bronzeshieldlet me know if you are willing to part ways with the World Series cib. I can even sell you back my cart version if you like;). But i get it. Tough choice!

Hello everyone!  So I actually stumbled on the site by accident when search for a game i was looking for my collection (sent off some private messages so hopefully they check them!). Thus far im really surprised that the community seems to be responding to posts even from a newbie like me. Some have even offered help with my collection already!  Now im not members of many of these type of forums as ive just been skeptical of genuine help and community, so im taking a chance here but everyone thus far has been kind and helpful!

as for me. Definitely a gamer, but harder these days with my new son being born:). Wouldn’t trade him for the world though. I started lightly collecting about 4 years ago and decided past 2 years to start finding more of the rarer games on various systems. Some of my findings are hagane, scupltors cut, and recently spiderman for 32x. But as of a few months ago I decided to finish my 32x collection and move on to N64 and game gear

glad to be here!

It actually looks pretty good, so it all depends on how much it bothers you. If you have other collecting goals, I'd work on those first since you have a CIB-ish version of the game now. If your only goal is finishing your 32X set, then you already know the answer.

Thanks for your feedback others that have as well!  I have three series that im collecting for but only focusing on 32x now for US until that’s complete. You’re right, it doesn’t look that bad actually. I guess its that completionist in me that it slightly bothers

I’m a loose cart guy, and my set consists of the 31 USA releases, the 1 Japan exclusive (Romance of the 3 Kingdoms IV), and the 2 Euro exclusives (Darxide & FIFA Soccer ‘96)

However, in doing so, I accumulated several boxes and manuals that I set aside in my trade pile for years, which I would gladly sell. (whereby you would then only need to acquire a loose cart to complete them.)

Here is a pic of what I have. PM me if your interested in buying them.

Wow you are a life saver!!  Sending PM now

SS is confirmed but with only 2 known copies, I don't think anyone counts it as part of the official set.  But again, because the story is so interesting, I think the reprint is worth acquiring.  It's not the type of reprint that would sour a collection because of the known history.  There are only 3 other non-US games.  Darxide isn't that mythical from what I've seen, although it's pretty expensive.  Obviously you can do what you want, but considering the full set is only 3 more games and 1 reprint over a US set, if I were a set collector, I would be looking for those.  I'm not going for them myself because I'm not interested in a full set.  I just own the games I want, which is about half the full set.  

Another way to look at it is to go for the full US set.  Once you have it, if the hunt is still fun, you might as well go for the last 3.

I may do that. The other 3 are Darxide, Fifa, and the japanses title correct?  Plus the unicorn from Brasil?

Any leads on where i can find those 3 and you mentioned i can get an SS reproduction somewhere?

anyhow thanks for your comments and any help

Unfortunately, I can't really help you because I don't have any plans to get rid of the small hand full of CIB 32x games I have, but I'm curious if you are going for the full US set, or the entire set since it's only a few extra games. Also, do you plan to get one of the reprint of Surgical Strike 32x?  I personally don't believe you need it to have a complete set, but it would be an interesting piece to have and I'm not sure that it even costs that much.  I have a friend with a complete set including the SS reprint.  Again, purely optional, but I think it looks cool with the set.   

Well im planning on just the US set. SS was released in Brazil and is a complete myth at this point. Id have to think about if i wanted any reprints in my collection at all. Id think it would bother me too much knowing it was a reprint, but who knows i may change my mind when i fully accept that only God knows where all the extra copies of the real SS exists lol. As far as the other non US titles, i can find only Fifa soccer and nothing else besides the same titles ive already got just printed in another region. Darxide is almost that same mythical unicorn like SS

thanks for the reply!  You going for a full set yourself or just enjoying what you have at the moment?

So I just acquired this cib. I was extremely fortunate to get this!  But here is my situation. The box. It has been cut to fit into a clam shell plastic box like you see with some of the titles on the 32x like bA Jam. It is the original box, but i have no idea why they did this. Not going to lie, it actually looks rather nice but id rather have the original full box not its sleeve cut to fit and tray disgarded

What should i do?  Id love to find another original sleeve but no one just sells the box for this title. It would feel weird to get a reproduction cardboard box (apparently they look originalish) as i would be constantly looking at it think “impostor”. I even thought about trying to tape it up and find a donor tray to make it hole but that probably won’t work either 

should i just display it proudly in the clam shell and call it good?

no matter what im going to get a protector for it that will go over the case

thoughts?

Hello everyone:

ive been downloading the Internet these days practically trying to find fair prices and hidden gems to finish off my collection. It seems like ive found some luck by being in the right place at the right time with some stores with some of my finds. Im mainly looking for cib, but im curious on what the community might have?

also, in another thread that ill post up after this one in the collectors discussion ill ask for your guys’ opinion on one games condition that ive just received. Pretty excited talking about game collecting these days!

my hit list

1) Blackthorne 

2) world series baseball: with deion sanders (ive got a loose cart. So might just be interested in cart and manual). But id be happy with cib if someone had one to sell

3) chaotix

4) tempo

5) t-mek

6) BC Racers 

7) wwf raw

***) spiderman (ive got this already believe it or not. With box and manual. My only problem is that someone had taken the original box and cut it to fit a clam shell case!!  Now it actually looks good but id prefer the entire box)

1) MK 2 cib or box and manual 

2) space harrier cib

3). Virtua fighter cib

4). Corpse killer cib

5). Night trap cib

6). Slam city cib

7). Fahrenheit cib

8 ) supreme warrior cib

thank you all!
