Facts. Except for me. I'm no casual, I buy for mid tier prices all the time =P

I’ve crossed the rubicon, I hate FE Heroes now. Still playing it though.

Wait... you traded one Switch Lite for everything in that picture!? That’s crazy!!!

After a long time of wanting to find an Amiibo end-level display for cheap I finally found this local deal for $30! The end-level display, pipe and classic Mario Amiibo altogether. My kids have been playing with my Amiibo collection a lot so I was excited to share this with them. My son already got creative with it.

Same! I got the CE + strat guide.

Good plan. It’s a rare title, no collector is going to reseal it. They are more likely to get it graded or put it in a protective case

Yeah but this too is different from OP’s item. OP’s item has a very loose seal.

Here’s what an authentic seal looks like: Neat y-folds on top and bottom and a snug seam along the edge where you open the case. I don’t doubt that your game is real and the seal looks like the kind a store will do with a lower quality shrinkwrapping machine. The kind that is used to re-wrap items that get damaged or returned. It’s not that unusual so I think any serious collector will understand what they are buying. If I had the money to blow I’d be tempted to buy it too!

I take it you don’t have a lot of experience with eBay...?

Start at 700 imo

Yeah it looks like a retailer reseal, maybe it got returned at some point or the seal got damaged.

I agree that the seal does not look original. List as complete and ask $1500 with offers? Probably will get $800 or so.

The news is that he added them to the list. Come on.

I think these are all my recent pickups. Random stuff. And I never post my Game Informers but I get one in the mail each month Also I finally picked up the first Fire Emblem for GBA but I forgot to snap a picture

No don’t let Luther know. Let me know.

As of today I have a complete set

Just checked the website and yeah it's closed until Dec. 1st: https://www.louvre.fr/en/louvre-bookshop I don't know if it was open at some point in the past few months. AFAIK they are still using the custom Louvre 3DS's for guided tours. I saw one listing recently where someone was selling one of these 3DS's. I assume they stole it. Pretty crazy. I think a smart collector, maybe in France, should keep an eye out if The Louvre ever discontinues using these 3DS's. Maybe they will destroy them or maybe they will auction them off? Would be an amazing piece for any collection.

I've heard that the English version is not to be found anymore at the Louvre gift shop. They might have run out of their stock to sell. Until early this year the French version (the only version sold outside of the Louvre) was available on Amazon.fr for €14 Euro. Now it shows up as only being available from third-party sellers for minimum €29.99. Which is still a good deal I guess for a sealed copy that works on any North American 3DS. I have no idea what is the situation at the Louvre since COVID-19 lockdowns started. Is it closed? Is the gift shop closed? I would assume the gift shop is closed. I'm also not convinced that this game is "rare." They've been selling it at the Louvre for years! It's just an obscure thing. There must be people out there sitting on multiple copies.

What were they thinking???

Bump open to offers / custom bundles on Nintendo Power stuff. I have more to list soon too.

If anyone is a frequent consumer of ice cream and has an extra Stone Cold code to gift me please slide into my DMs

Samurai Deeper Kyo GBA DVD bundle sealed for $75 + $8 shipping. Maybe can be negotiated down further. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/682465855638019/

Have you seen Gradius Galaxies on GBA? I haven't played it yet but I only recently found out it even existed.
