MiamiSlice's hunting thread
MiamiSlice replied to MiamiSlice's topic in Finders Keepers / Losers Weepers
Got these in a bundle on eBay for $21 with free shipping, nothing crazy but I was looking for half these games and for a bundle price it was a good deal -
I feel bad because I haven't posted in a while and I haven't done a very good job of keeping up with my pickups so I might be missing a few items on this list. Black Friday deals were in full swing since the last time I posted and there were a lot of games on my wantlist, some that I had been waiting months to pick up, that finally went on sale at prices I really liked. Catherine was $20 and the rest were $5 finds at Five Below: Wandersong was from a trade, Etrian Odyssey IV from eBay, Slaps and Beans was fairly priced in a Facebook group and Toy Story Mania was one I was hunting for a long time (trying to find a truly complete copy with the lenticular slipcover and both 3D glasses included) and finally showed up on eBay at a decent price: Did something I don't usually do, was tempted to pick this up after another collector mentioned it in a Facebook group, this is a less common variant published by THQ right before they closed down, subsequent copies are published by Disney instead: Two artbooks that were in my Amazon wishlist and they actually went on sale: Limited print pre-orders that I waited a looooong time for: One of you on here tipped me off to this bundle and I couldn't live without it forever so I snapped it off eBay when I saw it pop up at a decent price: Got these from a seller on Reddit, already had the NES Classic but not the other items in the picture: Some more finds, got Void Terrarium in a trade, Gem Smashers and Go Vacation were hunts from Mercari and FB Marketplace respectively, about $20 each, Mario Hoops I bought off... someone... don't really remember, Human Fall Flat was on sale for $19.99, and Cadence of Hyrule I picked up at Walmart on a whim, alongside Bakugan Champions of Vestroia launch edition (the one with the toy inside), both with that Walmart in-store discount. Another book on sale, you know I need my RPG strategy guides: Literally a free local pickup: Did I need the GameCube variant of this, if I already had the Wii and Wii U variants? No. But it was $40: 3 more limited print games I waited a very long time for, and then Pokemon Mystery Dungeon and SMBUD were from GameStop Black Friday deals: Recently started being active on game-collecting-Instagram as if I need more distractions and discovered Hand Drawn Game Guides so picked up this boutique published guide for the first Zelda. & the games were another Black Friday deal: Was hunting this double pack for a while, slept on it before COVID-mania hit, had kinda given up and then I see someone selling it for $25 on Facebook. Condition of the slipcover is atrocious but at least I finally have it: Iridion 3D was one of the GBA games I had growing up but the box got lost or something so I was planning to replace it, realized there wasn't much difference between CIB and New pricing so I just got it brand new. The DS games were from a lot that was pretty cheap: I also filled a bunch of gaps in my Nintendo Power collection with a lot I picked up, didn't bother taking pictures of everything but here's one item that came with the lot, Tips & Tactics for The Legend of Zelda which was one of the items you had to mail away for from the catalogue inside Nintendo Power: And 2 more purchases which were high priority for me: Again, sorry for the long post!

It was released for Switch by Super Rare Games (PAL code). I have one for sale.

I got my box today. Can confirm that this description is accurate!

Ok but my box will have sealed and graded stuff right?

Thanks man. I stayed up late last night going through some of them and writing down what might be a fair value. Some are missing posters, have writing on the reg cards or some kind of wear on the cover / spine but then there are others that are like new. Most of the early issues that I have from previous lots have yellow spines and/or tears on the covers so I will definitely be upgrading anything I already have! -
Pretty good price for a near-complete in box Game Boy console: https://offerup.co/DLDg6XM34bb

Mail call! Paid $366 altogether for this 36 pound box shipped to me via UPS (shipping alone was $55 ). Nintendo Power 1-51, the related bonus books from that era, and even 4 Fun Club books. Quality is mixed, issue 1 for example has the posters separated, some of the mags have writing on the reg cards and so on... I still haven’t figured out if the price I paid was good or not... this was posted “for offer” in an FB group and there were a lot of hungry collectors messaging the seller already so I felt I needed to make a move and here we are. Will part out the duplicates when I actually get some free time (not soon ) and eventually might make some of this money back. -

Quick midday local pickup. PS2 with wires and 4 controllers (two authentic), a bunch of memory cards, and 19 games, for $65. Altogether the lot is worth $200 but shipping and fees would probably eat up half of that. Still a nice lot and I’ll be keeping a few items from it. -
Was going to say this. There are games that came out 2 years ago that are already hard to find. Will they be easier to find when normies start dumping their Switch libraries on Facebook Marketplace in a couple years? Yes. But not easy in the way Wii games are.

$45 via Reddit. Not much of a discount but enough that I had to finally add it to my collection. -

Got this for free from a local listing! The kind of thing I wouldn’t pay for, but I can’t pass up for free. I think my kids will enjoy if even if they just play with the figures and never touch the game. -
Game Boy Advance, DS, 3DS Edit: I’m too late huh

I take back what I said here. Right after trashing this game I found a copy on FB Marketplace for $15 (+ shipping and tax) and I decided to give it an honest go. I have it on Wii and thought it was a really nice game but I played it with my kids and I guess because they got really frustrated with some of the controls it kind of ruined it for me. Playing it solo I was able to really enjoy it and it's great. Also the graphics are improved on Switch and I think some of the minigames are too.
