Definitely with collector and limited editions. Was on a good roll getting every single collectors edition for 4 years for the Switch, and then space became an issue. All they end up going is into climate storage due to running out of space just sealed in their box. Did not make any sense. So, I just stopped going after everything and only will get stuff I like now and focus just full-setting standard Switch games.

Let's bump this. I know there have been Pokemon Leaf Greens on eBay, but looking for one with a back sticker as well.

With the addition of Mortal Kombat II, thought I would share my so far completed collections in NFR collecting. Next goals will be N64 and Game Boy Advance since I am missing one game for each. Has been enjoyable going after these for 10 years now! Time flies.

SNES

3DS

Welcome to the group! Great to start out with for sure. It definitely is better to start now than later as it seems prices keep going up, which means there are so many collectors out there now.

The restored fakes usually will have a darker black color shell than the original. You will also see sticker residue on the outer edges since it is nearly impossible to transplant the label without leaving a trail of it.

Good luck on the hunt. eBay is the best bet for sure going after these, or this forum too there are some loyal collectors you can get in contact with.

Cried the night I heard that. Just too sudden. RIP Akira. His art truly touched millions of hearts including mine.

After nearly 10 years, the SNES Not For Resale Set is complete with the recent addition of Mortal Kombat II!

Bump this up.

Rather have the games than the money. One certain game collectable, I turned down a $10k offer as I still would keep it than sell. So, no I don't. I collected from the beginning for the enjoyment rather than profit.

Been a while so I'll post some of my favorite pickups this year. Had a lot of Switch stuff I don't have access right now but will in the future.

Diddy Kong Racing was just used for comparison. The biggest box display I have ever seen and own now.

Gave Sleep Token a chance after Will from Lorna mentioned them being his favorite band and now I am hooked.

I've had this happen to me twice before with zero feedback buyers, paid full skipping best offer and both were international. It ended up being a good transaction. One did leave feedback (Japan buyer). I remember being so nervous that they would say it wasn't delivered as I believe one of them had no final tracking confirmation. So it can be a good outcome or bad outcome. Definitely go with your gut though if you feel something is off with this, then by all means make up some excuse and cancel. If you go through it, document everything, signature confirmation etc.

"Rate my collection!"

Uh, you have the same 40 Pokemon, Mario, and Zelda games as everyone else/10?

Lol that reminds me in the Facebook Switch group where people say "rate my collection" and it's the 20 or 30 games all being 1st party commons. It's pretty common, but meh can't say anything bad just like the post and move on.

The most notorious right now is Super Mario 3D All Stars being a "rare" pick-up.

Been a while. Recently got some heavy hitters. Slowly getting to completion.

A little snap of the Zelda collection!

The tri..quadforce is complete. After so many years, I finally got Zelda Majora's Mask gray. My holy grail of mine for so long it is surreal to have it in my hand. Just can't believe it. This makes me have a complete N64 not for resale set except for Super Smash Bros. and a complete Zelda not for resale set for North American region. For Pal I just need the 2 Wii discs! Gonna make a separate thread soon as this is just an unexpected milestone. I truly thought I'd never get it and just gave up on it years ago.

Nice addition! Yeah that's still the only ones that are known of so barely any for all collectors. So get it while you can everyone as who knows when another set like that will turn up. At this point I believe he has 4 left. I'll have to double check the sales once more (I always screenshot each one).

Well pretty soon I'll be posting a recent NFR pickup I have wanted for so long and it was my holy grail of anything else. So just guess what it can be.

Some bangers I've been into last few weeks. Btw the band Tetrarch, nu metal band has a female lead guitarist and she is a badass. Been so hooked to this band. Influence of Linkin Park, Slipknot, and Adema thought I share since I really wished I heard about them years ago.

A friend just got me into this band and I'm really digging them. This is for the MDM fans here:

 

Damn I'm hooked. Thanks for sharing!

Crazy last month tracked down a couple of these. Updated. Nearing the light to completion.

I just wanna say when posting rare and unusual stuff like this, if the source of information or pictures is ebay, it would be good to include screenshots of what is shown on the links, cuz ebay does not retain info long term. 

Looks like it is still on archive.org thankfully.

The $600 threshold was moved back another year, so $20,000 and 200 transactions was still the mark for 2022. 

Wish I knew this lol... purposely tried to not sell anything last year thinking it began...ah well what can you do right.

I personally would not ever do that to any of mine, but that is just me. However, getting a donor cart and doing it while keep the original would be a great solution! As when you plan on selling them, you could just put it back in the original.

So I got a Skyword Sword display that didn't come with the original instructions and I can't seem to figure out how it goes all together. If anyone happens to have this and it is fully displayed could help me out especially with a photo of the back side it would be so much appreciated. Seems like one side is not suppose to be aligned with the other tower, so want to make sure that is the case before sticking the tape together. Definitely one of the harder to put displays by yourself than usual. Thank you so much!

Yikes. Talk about bad timing for him having to already let it go. Guess this will be a good watch.
