Woobie

I like them, heard them a long time ago. Not my favorite band but every now and then get the urge to listen to a few songs by them. I like the melodic style of the lyrics and guitar

I think handwritten was my favorite album followed by the 59 sound.

They pop up from time to time. They're bulky, and as far as I know, they aren't a great accessory. There is also that other chair that comes up every so often, even bulkier than this one.

Ya its kind of like the shelves I see come up from time to time. The shelves are alot more common but seems market is just bananas. Had a had time selling one for like $100 a year ago and usually only people locally wanted, now I see people asking $400+

You mind letting us know how much you paid for it? Thanks, if you are.

200 CAD, but definitely wouldnt use as market indicator as it was from a buddy and kind of "off the books" (I knew he had it for a while and we discussed it, shared a few beers and he would happily let it go for that) 

Following due to curiosity. I bought one off a buddy locally a year or two ago. Plan to keep for the long haul but ya, never really see them come up so curious with current market what it might fetch.

Oddly enough the lack of product code is normal for a white bullets MTPO, same as the earlier black box titles

I still need a chunk of PAL games personally

Im semi interested, just hate making random offers when I dont have a general idea the price range you're looking at ha ha. If you wanted to discuss shoot me a PM

Bump, changing it up 

Not sure on value but I am potentially interested* depending how much you're lookin for on it ha ha.

Interested in book of unwritten tales 2 if you can ship to Canada

I think I have some doubles from over the years that I'd love to trade for variants I don't have.

• Donkey Kong Jr. (3 Screw)
• TMNT (5 Screw)
• Track and Field II (5 Screw)

Looking for the following. No joke, I think this is all I'm missing for an "complete" set:

• Adventures of Bayou Billy (5 Screw)
• Base Wars (5 Screw)
• Castlevania II (5 Screw)
• Castlevania III (5 Screw)
• Defender of the Crown (5 Screw)
• Jackal (5 Screw)
• Mission Impossible (5 Screw)
• Q*Bert (5 Screw)
• R.C. Pro Am (5 Screw)
• Rollergames (5 Screw)
• Skate or Die (5 Screw)
• Snake's Revenge (5 Screw)
• Stadium Events (5 Screw) LOL
• Tiny Toon Adventures (5 Screw)
• Top Gun 2: The Second Mission (5 Screw)

Gah I still need a 3 screw DK JR, I have the box already for it

Also to note a few above. I have a 3-screw -CAN version of soccer as well and a "day time screen" rad racer as well. Never figured they were noteworthy enough to mention too much tho ha ha. I know -CAN gets goofy with 3-screw stuff being more common so didnt put much thought in to soccer (and most folks only seem to care about -US variants anyways :P)

@a3quit4s @Gloves Don't worry guys - this should help clarify things...

-CasualCart

Always makes me laugh, also reminds me of milo from the descendents

Sorry to hear, stuff like thats always tough .

More or less I just need the "heavies" still (Mega man, MTPO, star force, gotcha.

I do need a few others just because I am doing both CAN and US 3 and 5 screw variations ha ha.

Also, I see your secret shame in there...

My guess would be $50-100

Yup I sold one of my copies about a year ago for around $100.

Its aloooot more common than the 5-screw star force (I have seen that one pop up twice I can think of...). I think out of all the "5 screw, no back label" games this is the most common (I know we used to have a list...I think like 10 folks had copies?)

Ya it seems like its more of those deals that go down behind the scenes. If your looking for one its better to just get your name out there that your looking for it. Personally I would love to get an M82 and a test station but have to wait til I have a bunch of extra funds kicking around to even start tossing my name into the pot

Maybe why I get mad at these ads is I know people who do this, and they are 90% resellers and 10% collectors. Not that reselling is wrong, we all do it to some extent. But it's the people who spin it as "I collect games" but really mean "I'm gonna sell these in a day".

Ya we had a few folks like that here ha ha. They would constantly post ads about buying games then turn around and list the games they just bought a day later. Also they tended to mark up about ebay +20% which was insane, especially for the market here (also whenever you ask, price is firm). They tended to sit on stuff for months, then eventually would drop to a more reasonable level. I think most of them peaced out though with the nobody buying retro stuff anymore and even the local shops giving next to nothing for trade.

Also was fun to watch when two of them started posting ads back and forth bashing eachother...

I used to post WTB ads on local kijiji / FB. My thought was always you catch more flies with honey than vinegar. I would flat out tell folks what I would be selling for and offer around 60% of what they are worth. I would explain that gives me room to be flexible on pricing for other folks, they get an easy transaction no fuss no muss and its alot higher than most other people would offer (Alot of people tend to offer like 10-20% of what they would sell for lol)

Made a decent chunk of coin that way and folks were pretty happy. Helped me grow my NES collection fast / on the cheap (this was like 3-4y ago probably). Could buy up a large collection, kept everything I wanted, sell off the rest and still end up ahead to buy more stuff. 

Always had the random people think they were funny by sending me photos of "I found these in my basement" and was like samson, bonks, etc. I treated them like it was real, said if they are actual copies they are fairly valuable, would need to get them checked just because there is alot of reproductions blah blah blah. Had one guy try to keep going and be like "How much do you think my NWC gold catridge is worth?"

Everyone's a joker, never let it bug me though

Well, if you're interested I can facilitate a purchase. (Though I can appreciate the fact I don't have any reputation here to speak of). I've reuploaded the photos here: https://imgur.com/a/g5YudAm

 

The description from the auction is:

 

The current bid is $20 CAD, but I suspect it will go higher before it finishes at 7pm. Shipping tends to be about $7 CAD as well.

It was really just coincidence that I saw the post on FB today, and then stumbled upon your post here as well, so I figured I'd help out someone if possible.

I find stuff on RetRos to go for more than it should alot of times to be honest...:\ I know there was some controversy in the past with sellers that worked out deals with certain folks to "bid up" stuff to a minimum price.

i have an m82 too  but it needs some work done to it cause the last 3 slots don't works right with  games.  all i can say is just keep looking  there very hard to find now. i got mine in 2008 when they still showed up on ebay for a decent price.  you will find one 

Ya, I definitely dont see them as often as I did 5-6 years ago. They are still able to be found, its a matter of having money line up at the same time one shows up ha ha. Oh well, im in the for the long haul anyways. I find over time stuff has a habit of suddenly starting to come out of the woodworks

this is and always will be my holy grail item.  the picture is from wikipedia  but im the one that posted the picture to the wiki.

 

This and M82 are two items I have always wanted ha ha. One day I will get them

Yeah, I bookmarked the sell page because I wanted to follow this one. I check once a day, or so this was semi-new development  I don't think it happened yesterday, so it must have been retracted this morning.

I know a page or so back, it was pointed out that a couple of billionaires were taking notice of this, so... maybe one of them had a bid in and decided to retract it for this reason.  And before anyone things (well, if they retracted a bid, they probably can't re-bid again) just realize that if they are billionaires, they can pay someone to use a shill account for a final bid.

That said, they may be rich but know one really wants to pay more than they want.  Removing their bid can make this look "not so valuable".  Maybe Notch/The Occulus guy is trying to play a mind game, assuming if they both place a last-minute bid, it they can just put a max higher than the other guy, who is expecting a very low (relatively speaking) final bid.

I don't know how these auctions work, since I've not tried, but if I had deep enough pockets, I still want to play my cards so that I only play $2m rather than $5m because of a stoopid bid warz.

From what I know the auction keeps going until there is no further bids. There is no real "cut off time", auctioneer will just keep upping til nobody takes

$150,000? Yup

$160,000? Yup

$170,000? Yup

$180,000? Nope...going once...nope...going twice? nope...Sold
