Best find in the wild was probably finding a Saturn in the box at Goodwill a decent while back.

On Ebay, I took a shot in the dark and bought an as-is Sega CD with a Genesis attached. It was 80, and actually works really well. Sold the Genesis for 15 I think, so a solid deal for a working model 2 CD.

Transaction #1

Seller: Bonanza125

Buyer: Kapitankoo

Summary: $24 shipped for my 4 NES games TMNT 2, SMB/DH/TM, Hogan's Alley, and Ice Hockey

Transaction Status: Shipped

Very positive transaction! Great packaging and fast service. Great seller!

Shining Force 1 and 2 are really nice soundtracks. 

TMNT: Hyperstone Heist

Phantasy Star 2 3 and 4

Too many great soundtracks

Haven't pre-ordered it, but if I'd get any of the mini consoles it'd be this one. I have no experience with the PCE/TG16 so the mystique is neat

Man I really need to start collecting 3DS games. So much fantastic stuff, I've only played a few but Kid Icarus is one of my favorite games.

Just need to buy a new battery for mine...

Thank you! 

Appreciate the depth of the answer, definitely will follow this to heart in the future.

I have some boxed games I might try selling in the future (specifically late Genesis/32X style cardstock). Was wondering what the best method would be for shipping boxed retro games? Don't have much experience myself so input from experienced collector's would be neat

Most Sega consoles look good. Saturn I'd say looks the sleekest next to other tech.

I have a lot more records than I do games. Vinyl is cool, I don't really think it sounds that much better or anything, but it's very nice to have in your hands and from the stores I've been to you can still find some great stuff for cheap. At least cheaper or the same as buying the album on itunes or something...

Haven't been to too many but I enjoy the experience

I've seen: ZZ Top, Boz Scaggs, Paul McCartney, and most recently Tame Impala a few weeks ago.

Just to have around!

I'm a zoomer but I found AVGN videos as a kid and it led me to watching a lot of the bigger retro-tubers. I always thought it was cool and thank god I was able to get a couple systems at flea markets before prices got insane. Now that I work and have had a bit of disposable income the past few years I was finally able to start using them/getting more systems when I could find them for a decent price.

I really just collect what I plan to play, and some ventures like my couple 32X games I'll probably get rid of my small collection is pretty well curated. That being said I absolutely love seeing huge cib collections, full sets, etc.

I also have never gotten far in SMB. I get it's significance but the next games make it kind of obsolete imo.

Another one for me though is Super Metroid, I enjoyed what I played but I put it down after a while and feel obligated to restart whenever I do get back to it. I love metroidvanias, SotN is one of my favorites but I've never given it the time it probably deserves

Beat Dragon Warrior on the NES for the first time a few days ago

Not insanely difficult but I definitely had some frustrating deaths lol. Still a pretty charming game, it holds up a lot better than I thought before playing it for more than an hour. Bought 2 recently online I can't wait to start that up.

Starting to get back into Dragon Quest 11 on switch, with some tetris thrown in when I don't have a lot of time to spare!

NES Tetris is one I've went back to a lot recently, but also nothing beats some Mega Man (5 is my favorite) or even some Symphony of the Night to kill some time.

Brand new here, I like playing kick ass games! Glad to be here, I'll try and contribute when I can

My current setup with a decent chunk of my stuff, sorry for the meh quality lol
