MiamiSlice's hunting thread


Recommended Posts

This Nintendo Power haul turned out great! Filled in a lot of gaps... I think I added 30 issues I needed and upgraded another 5? Also have a bunch of duplicates I can sell now.

oh and this arrived today: a tidy little haul from Reddit for $220

Update: Sold Lovers for $250. Probably a good deal for the buyer. I already have a used copy that I posted in an earlier haul in this thread 🙂

Found a Craigslist deal (first one in a long while)! Seller was asking $20 but he was a bit too far so I offered to pay $5 for shipping. He said he was willing to do that but that he actually works close to me so we agreed to meet up. Turned out to be a really easy pickup! The DS Lite doesn't have the original charger but it actually has both the stylus and the slot cover! Just needs a good cleaning but it's in good shape. And I know it's hard to see but the game is Mega Man Starforce Pegasus. Wish it was CiB but I will let it go and use the funds toward acquiring one CiB 🙂

And I found these on FB Marketplace for $5 each, plus $5 shipping so I paid $25 for the 4. Unfortunately they are in bad shape so I will not be keeping them but eventually I hope to have Ghost Trick, Puzzler and Fantasy Aquarium in my collection.

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.

the two #1’s are both missing the poster and some of the rest are beat up but overall it’s a nice looking lot! I have to go through everything but I might be close to a complete set of NP’s with this haul 🙂

I know it's a stretch but if you have any more Pokemon powers after issue #6 and want to lighten that load ya got, I'd b interested 🙂

Omg that mix cd tho, precious.

Judging by the playlist and the disc itself (I had the exact same kind in high school) I'm guessing this was a product of Kazaa circa 2003.

It looks like the seller just emptied out a junk draw and threw it all in a box.

No the seller never looked inside the boxes. She’s too old for this stuff. Her son, when he was young, looked at his Pokemon Sapphire box and thought “this would be a great place to store my mix CD.” We all did stupid things when we were young.

I am so over the moon about this one you guys have no idea. Unless someone tells me this is actually common and I overpaid. But I think it's rare? Story below the pictures...

I found this on Mercari for $39 + shipping. The seller included a screenshot to PriceCharting where it says $53 for CIB... which usually would be annoying but it's nice when the seller is going under PC! Although in this case... there's no sales data for this going back to 2018. The page is empty and the price just seems to be an estimate which may or may not be based on historical data that was lost by their database. I don't know.

On top of that, this title just doesn't exist at all on GVN. A google search yields only 1 result aside from PriceCharting. Couldn't find anything on eBay (their sold history doesn't go back far these days) or elsewhere. If anyone knows about this it might be someone here? I don't even think I had heard of this release before I saw it for sale! It was an insta-buy moment.

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 🙂
