I'm so sorry! The magnet was me, it was the ds lite magnetic stand, I never thought it would be close enough to any of the games to effect them

Wait, you mean there was more than one? I was talking about this thing. I mean i know it was a mounted stand, but i thought it was glued on.

Well uh, here's the haul, stuff on the right is just covers and inserts, the boxes i added myself.

A bit of a warning, someone smacked a giant magnet in the box, and during shipping it ended up smack dab on top of all the games and it didn't dawn on me until just now, but it might of messed with the games in there. I tried one just now and it was having some serious issues like(top right corner):

I tried another and it wasn't that much better, also a digital watch someone had in there wouldn't turn on. Not really trying to complain, just letting the other two know something might be up. I changed the box up pretty good but still check it.

Anyways, i stuffed the box, but i had to take out some of this bulkierstuff, if anyone wants it let me know.

EDIT: Tried some more, my newish 2dsxl didn't recognize Smash bros and Kirby also had issues, def not just dusty carts.

Well its finally making it out of Texas so hopefully today

Really isn't. Things are moving slower than molasses. Once it hit texas it's virtually stopped and tracking no longer gives a date. I'm sure it'll get here but man

Bear with me here, there's something odd going on with the mail rn because of a massive winter storm. Haven't had any mail in the past few days, hell, PO didn't even bother sending out trucks yesterday.

Speaking of my stuff I just posted again,  that Super Mario 3D Land was just an empty shell, but it did have a manual.  Does anyone know if these had anything else in them?  I doubt it came with a game since it looks like display box, but I could also see it coming with extra content like a poster or other flier.  Does anyone else collect these and know what typically was, or wasn't, in these?  This is actually my first advertisement display box.  Also, was the $39.99 sticker original from the maker, or did this display come from Nintendo and then GameStop slapped the price sticker on it?  I'm debating on removing it, unless it came from Nintendo that way.

Whether or not it did, i have no idea, but Gamestop used to sell loose carts in those display boxes. Used to have one for Bowser's Inside Story. Sticker is def gamestops though they'd also slapped their own price sticker on there if it was used.

Box received today and I'll have it in the mail Monday. Wow guys, the bar has been set pretty high! Below is my haul.

Pretty good stuff! Some items as re for my kids and I appreciate that!

Also... Ok, the box is packed. After I had packed and taped it up I noticed I had left a couple of times out. Since it was sealed, and packed tight, I kept these too. However, if anyone is interested in these, I can ship them to you for free. Just be sure to add like-value to the box. Please note, this is an all-or-nothing deal.

Tried messaging you about the GBP bundle but it wouldn't let me

Or you'll just end up getting coal a little bottle of Jack Daniels that mysteriously showed up in the box.

The poor people voting 9 or 8 didn't have anything better to play as a child. Even the damn NES could play Master System games better. The only thing keeping it from being Jaguar bad is Phantasy Star and Gorevelius .

The Jeopardy guy, that's more or less it.

Really, in what way does the GSP protect sellers? (It certainly doesn't protect me). Also, what kind of protection do sellers need for international transactions that they don't need for domestic ones?

 

If a package gets lost after ebay receives it, the seller is not held accountable, and ebay reimburses the buyer instead.

Congratulations Kamala Harris for being the first Woman president, I hope Hillary is seething in Hell right now.

yeah i'll do another.

Stuff i got from the box.

Yeah, I feel like I made a mistake getting a 360 instead of a PS3. The only reason I did was because someone had a spare 360 and sold it to me cheap, combined with the fact I was still butthurt about them ending backwards compatibility with the PS3. Literally the only exclusive for 360 I can think of that I love was a port, Guardian Heroes.

Still kind of makes it worth it though.

You really didn't. PS3 exclusives mostly suck, and since games were generally made with 360 in mind, they were generally superior even if only by a little.

And yeah I don't think a single person on VGS would touch TikTok with a 42 foot pole, so why would anyone care if it was banned? It'll likely fade into obscurity in the next year anyway, just like Vine and MySpace and everything that came before it. Watch out for people to throw a fit over it being a violation of their rights though. 

Amen.

Retro is basically a fashion term, so applying it to games, is just whatever is old and popular. So NES is retro, but Jaguar isn't Super Nintendo but not 3D0, etc, et al.

Couldn't care less about not-Vine or whatever that is. I just hope he fucks with Epic Games next for that 49% CCP connection..

Why did they turn Battletoads into a low rent filler game made to stall people until the Xbone Sersex or whatever comes out.

It's been... 19 days since this reply, which I totally agreed with, and I'm looking at sold prices and shaking my head. Some stuff is down but then other stuff is way up. It seems crazy to me. Are people gonna regret buying stuff at these high prices in a couple months? 

I don't see it. It's ludicrous to assume old games were going to sink when the vast majority of America was given free money and a stay at home order, and video games sales were already on fire from what i heard.  Assuming the economy gets back on track and doesn't just depress, they're probably going to keep a good chunk of their added value also.

15 minutes in and i already got offers of 60, this is gonna be good. For some reason they also gave me a card(#627) and a newspaper about the star wars bootlegs.

Sell that puppy ASAP and buy it back when it releases 999 OBO

Ew, i don't even want the copy i have now.

So did Papers Please actually release? Because i just got one in those blind box things, and it doesn't even seem like there was a release date.

I totally agree with your thoughts here; with my previous post though, I was trying to be slightly less biased, as I can recognise that being from the States and living in Taiwan for a substantial number of years  has left me doubly biased, haha

Nah, it's a perfectly valid concern, especially since the CCP could have access to this stuff no problem.
