Been going buck wild with Black Friday / Cyber Monday deals. Also been shopping a little too much on FB Marketplace, Mercari, etc. Will have a few hunts to post over the next week as stuff comes in. For now here's one: GameStop had a crazy buy 1 used game get 1 free deal on Actual Black Friday, so I snapped up 2 copies of a game I was actually wanting, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Rescue Team DX. (The screenshot below says B2G1 but it was actually B1G1. I can never tell if these things are intentional... B1G1 is insane.) Fortunately, they both came with their original cases. Then I sold one for a little cheaper on Facebook Marketplace with shipping. FB Marketplace has zero fees until Dec. 31st, so I really did get $40 for that sale. Here's another that I bought a while back and took a while to complete. GameStop was selling this Zelda Switch carrying case for $4.99 instead of $14.99, just clearing it out, and I already have one of these (one of the first things I bought for my Switch, because right after I bought it I was going on a business trip and I needed a case) but I really liked the idea of getting a second one at this price to have as a backup. But GameStop doesn't do free shipping unless you buy at least $35 worth of stuff, and there was literally nothing else I wanted at the time (well, some things I wanted but GameStop's prices were not competitive and I wasn't looking to spend money before Black Friday deals started). So I went looking around to see if anything was priced cheap and sure enough they were selling Mario Party 2, yes the N64 game, on sale for $29.99. That's a decent amount below typical eBay sold prices for an authentic cart. So I figured what they hey, I put 2 of that (the limit) in my cart alongside this Zelda case and figured I could sell them eventually. Sure enough both carts were authentic and while not in perfect shape I was eventually able to sell them for about $40 shipped each, so my total return was $73.97 after shipping and fees so yes I got my free Zelda case and $4 to spend on coffee or something

That's a proper chonky pikachu! they don't make them like that anymore!

You can’t get away without posting a picture of your new desk buddy!

GameStop has this Wildcat bundle back in stock but now they have it bundled with a screen protector for $15 more. Rude!

Double Helix Bundle: https://www.gamestop.com/video-games/switch/consoles/products/nintendo-switch-fortnite-double-helix-bundle/10167645.html Not nearly as nice. One of the earliest variants though.

Almost forgot about this thread. I’m happy to have facilitated this: Now there’s multiple CIB’s listed in the $450 to $500 range... maybe it’s not so rare after all

Handing this one off to the postal carrier today. One of those PSX games that I remember seeing ads for even though I didn’t have a PlayStation. Still haven’t played this though! Someday...

I have this. It's a great deal if you don't have the two games already. Literally a unique outer box with two standard games inside (although the game cases are NFR versions). And you get a $10 Target gift card with the $99.99 purchase. Edit: oh, it's $79.99 right now but with no gift card. Man. That's a nice deal.

It wouldn’t be likely as a quick flip. But I could see someone buying it at a “discount” just to “cross” it to Wata with a “better grade” for a “long term investment”.

I also forgot Namcot Collection and Ninja Jajamaru Collection. If I had to make a list of hidden gems worldwide it would be pretty long!

One Step From Eden is getting a physical in Japan. Publisher has done mostly Japan only in the past. Anyone know if there's any news of a physical coming in other territories? If not I will probably try to get this version. https://www.gematsu.com/2020/10/one-step-from-eden-switch-physical-edition-launches-february-25-2021-in-japan

If you hold it up to a mirror the Bros is on the right I’ll offer $160

Agree!!!

bump! sold some more stuff

Looks like Go Vacation is a hot collector's item now. Such a lackluster port of a mediocre game.

Do you mean Japanese region? The ones I went for importing: Fight Crab, Mantis Burn Racing, Super Cane Magic Zero, Block Quest Maker, Ace Angler, Esp Ra De Psi, Kero Blaster, Capcom Belt Action Collection, and Moon.

Yeah I saw that too. So ridiculous. Best Buy hasn't even put them up for sale yet and people are already scalping. I wish these other retailers had put a limit on orders.

If anyone is seriously considering this Red Art Games sale I think Gekido is worthwhile, it’s a port of a GBA game.

Bump. Sold a few items!

Saw this too late. Once again I can’t believe how quickly it sold out. Seems like scalpers keep buying it up? At what point do they realize it’s not that rare??

bump... a bunch of the Nintendo Power's are pending a sale including the nicer issue 1 and issue 100. if anyone is interested in the slightly worse for wear issue 1 I am willing to sell it for $90 shipped anywhere in the USA. let me know! also I recently started an Instagram for video game collecting, going to try to be active there! the handle is: ChillCollector

I recently discovered that one of my favorite rides at Disney World actually had a home console port on Wii (I say port because the ride is actually made up of giant video screens that you shoot at from your car). Then I found out this came with a slipcover and pair of 3D glasses. But most of the listings for it online are not complete, sometimes they have the slipcover, sometimes they have the glasses, but rarely both. So I waited and waited for new listings to come along and finally after like a month I found this one at a fair price in great shape with the glasses still sealed in their pouch! Paid ~$16 with tax which wasn't a steal but a good price considering it has everything

Another tidy Reddit haul. $30

Amazon has a buy 3 for the price of 2 deal going on right now and a bunch of video game art books are included. Go here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/promotion/A29924Y6X8ZG8K?ref_=pdaatf_psp_A29924Y6X8ZG8K to see the promotion and select category: books, then search for "Nintendo." There's also a few other art books that are not from Nintendo, like The Art of Bravely Default, included in the deal. So maybe search "Square" to see the others. I ordered 2 of the Breath of the Wild Making of a Champion book (one will be a gift for my brother) and the Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia which had been on my wishlist for a while. There's other art books not included in this deal that are at least on sale for up to 50% off, like the art of Super Mario Odyssey.

I am extremely looking forward to these
