This happened to me years ago... I purchased Mega Man 2 cart and the seller accidentally shipped me Mega Man 6 cart. (At the time it was like a $20 difference in value). I agreed to send it back after they refunded me and paid for return shipping.
I'm pretty honest and feel there is good karma... the next week I scored a Sculptor's Cut cart in a Craigslist 64 console bundle for $40. Things have a way of working out sometimes.

I didn't own many video games growing up, mostly played at friends' houses. The ones I did own are all commons, except for this PC box... now worth over $100.

No regrets… just some bad purchases along the way

@Gloves what do I need to do to graduate from the title of "thief"... LOL.

Thanks all, I was confident to begin with since I've seen @skinnygrinny around for a while. Always nice to have some extra feedback from the community for a bigger sale. Much appreciated. This has been a grail item for me for a while now!

Cool find!

I totally understand full set collectors, but it’s not for me. Too many filler titles in every library that I care to store. If I were to consider any full set I’d definitely go OG GameBoy cart only. I’d even entertain a curated Top 300 SNES or NES titles cart only collection.
-
The only box I regret tossing is Star Keeper with the postage from China. Oh well.

My collection is mostly based on what I want to have and keep, regardless of monetary value. I don’t own any $1k+ games, but if I did the only guilt I would feel is the paranoia that I own an asset and would need to insure it properly. Collecting just to collect IMO comes with the risk of devaluing the personal attachment to items and making it all about the money. I could understand where maybe guilt comes into play for some on that level. If it brings you joy, you should keep it guilt free.

I admit I'm not super familiar with SNES flashcarts. How does SD2SNES fare vs. other carts? Do you know what version of SD2SNES it is? (The internet tells me there is more than one, but maybe that's wrong).
It’s one of the very first versions of the SD2SNES. It has roughly 95% library compatibility. You can read the specifics on Stone Age gamer’s site. It’s a great little device and has held up despite its age.

I’d say they have some value. I don’t know the specifics off hand, but The Incident is a great game!

This was the exact release I first purchased back in 1996. Of course I trashed mine as a kid does, but years ago I decided to re-buy and had a hard time finding one in good condition. I ended up paying $50-$75, they are not as easy to come by as one would think!

They misspelled Chip's name as Clip on the back of the box?
They did… it’s honestly not a great quality release. The gameplay is decent for those who are a fan of the original.

I'm surprised it's taken this long. I'm shocked at how few selections there are at this point... like who is going into to buy a CD at Best Buy that doesn't already use Spotify or something similar? I'm a music geek and I still hunt for cool physical media finds, but they certainly aren't at Best Buy. I guess they figure some people run out of ideas for gifts and just figure, I'll buy them a 4K Bluray, or a lame vinyl reissue for $50.

I'll take those off your hands. Thanks.
EDIT: I was certain that I didn't have Gunfighter, but I do, so I feel bad taking this if I already have most of it. The only thing I really need is the Lethal Enforces manual, but I can live without that. If no one else shows any interest, I will still take it, but if someone else wants it, let them have it. Thanks.
I'm only looking to ship one package. They are all yours @TDIRunner. Sending you a PM now for details.

Selling is key for me and my journey… while there’s nothing more annoying than having to re-buy items at a loss (that I had sellers remorse over)… it ultimately made me realize which items I actually care about physically owning vs the ones that took up space. All part of the purge and now I really love and cherish the gems that made the cut!

It’s an item that has been idolized for the last 20 years… so yeah, people conjure up their desires based on what everyone else wants. I don’t get it either… but I get why it happens.

Free repro cases shipped anywhere in the USA. I'd like these to ship together.
Note: Mr. Gimmick artwork is stuck inside a BitBox case. Ufouria repro box is not very high quality, but it works and looks good on the shelf.
