My gawd I want this but doubt I can convince my wife on an expense this large 2 how exciting to see one pop up here though

Bump! Have a good chunk of cash budgeted to fill out some gaps in my collection (esp for loose NES). If you have a bunch of games in the $50-200 range let me know what you have and maybe we can make a deal

(also adding some stuff)

Bump, crossed a few off my list - send me your NES lots!

@GharetSaiDe Pikmin 3 is for Wii U or Switch, not GameCube. Are you thinking of Pikmin 2? 

You're right, for some reason I thought I had played all 3 on GameCube but clearly that wasn't the case thanks for pointing it out, should be a lot easier for me to find 

I need all games on the list, but on a few i need a specific 3 vs 5 screw version (the only variants I collect) and those will are noted in a column to the right of the game 

Bump with a few updates (finally got Flintstones 2!) including link to list of remaining NES carts for my full NTSC set

Damn that Super Nintendo set is in amazing shape. Too many sports games for me to bite on a bundle but I don't see a system in that condition often. Good luck with the sale

Looking forward to seeing Bonks when available glws, those pins are in especially good shape!

Didn't you get that Crystalis NES from me?   Anyone know if "Themotherbrain" is on here from NA? 

I've had some ups and downs the last few years, mainly downs but my name hasn't changed and still doing the same crap! lol

I did! It's a centerpiece of my collection still and the first thing I show off when people ask to see my stuff  absolutely love the NES

The last couple days have been good mail days. I also got my GC Loader PnP from the netherlands after over two weeks. The thing is awesome and emulating way to expensive gamecube games the way to go right now. 

Nice additions! I'm at nearly 500 NES carts towards full set now so I'm finding it a lot harder to find things I need at any less than astronomical prices! How far along a full set are you now?

Plz sell me ur NES games

NY acrylic loose carts cases shipped today so need some big NES items off my list to show off. Adding some bounties on a few things to start a conversation 

Bump! Looking to buy NES heavies I don't have in lots as well, or large NES lots at a good price

PM'd

Finally had my first good pickup at a local thrift shop so I finally have something exciting enough to start my thread

A month or so ago though I did snag a great deal on an N64 bundle for 670 shipped. Funtastic green console (with exp cover) and 3 controllers in great shape, as well as over 70 games.  Added a ton to my collection and selling/trading rhe dupes or low condition ones got me a huge boost in my collection at a low cost. PC value of what I kept plus gross sales came out well over double what I spent!

Yesterday's local thrift pickup got me 7 ps3 games and a Wii game for a bit less than $17 after tax. I loved Super Monkey Ball on GameCube, and the others I figured would be a good pickup based on how popular they were. Checking eBay it looks like Orange Box and R&C Collection more than make up for the less valuable ones

While not my favorite Mario game, my wife ended up really enjoying playing it together and so I'm finally getting through this game. She generally doesn't like platformers but the simultaneous gameplay and different powerups make it a lot of fun for her. She does play games regularly (mostly on XBOX) so this was the first Nintendo console game I managed to get her excited about so its always going to be a winner for me

Sold

(Nevermind) 

Thanks a ton! I knew I was asking the right group I got burned on an Earthbound reproduction so I think I'm extra sensitive to anything that looks different than normal

Oo I really like the way you displayed your boxed stuff in the middle of the carts, I wanna copy that! Looks great!

Thank you I thought it would look nice flanked by loose carts, and it just so happened that 2 columns from each shelving unit was enough for a full NES NTSC licensed set so it would look at lot more even than having 1.5 shelves filled with carts and all the boxes at the end. Luckily (I guess?) I don't have a lot of boxes yet in order to run out of space

I love how clean this all looks!

Thanks! It's going to be hard to keep it clean going forward though because now I have too many things that don't fit in here so I either need to expand to the closet in this room or start cramming stuff together. Means I have to stop being lazy and build some makeshift shelves.  I really want to have some bigger areas to highlight consoles - the console itself (boxed), some of the top games, guides/ whatever. Those cubbies I have now in the middle are not really the best sizes

I like that gold N64...and that there's a collector's edition copy of Majora's Mask sitting beside it in the first picture.

Wow - good eye! I got that copy of Majora's Mask so long ago, as well as the Gold N64, that I can't even remember how I got them at this point. Must have been over 10 years ago. I love the holographic label on the cart. I've never used the Gold N64 I just have it on display. Way too worried about wearing the paint!

Update on collection growth, mostly NES carts towards my full set but picked up some other fun things and a really well priced (by today standards) N64 lot. Looking a lot better with the shelves filling out! Starting putting boxes, plastic, etc around a lot of stuff for extra protection too

I had to take my genesis games off the shelves because I'm running out of space already, so I'm going to have to build something to expand into

I got a reproduction SNES cart in a lot, and while all reproduction labels are different, there were some key tipoffs for me once I had the cart in my hands:

1. The lable way noticably thicker than others. Looking at the edge of the label on top of the cart it looked maybe double the thickness

2. Because of a sloppy label job, mine had a string of adhesive/plastic coating/something that came off when the label was cut. I've never seen anything like that on a real one

3. For an NES cart, corners not perfectly rounded was a giveaway (that one was cut with scissors i think)

4. Blurriness of the printing/text is another tipoff for me

5. While this doesn't help with all repos, I've seen a bunch of repo labels where the art is just slightly different. Lots of cases where the real cart label is sort of a cropped version of the box art, and the repro labels use that box art so when you look at it side-by-side with a real label, you'll see more cover art than you would on a real label. Ive seen this a lot with NES. Attached an example where the Snow Brothers on the right is fake. Granted this repo label is clearly fake for a lot of different re asons (lots of missing/misplaced text) but is meant to be illustrative of what I've seen as a pattern around the box art
