Video Game "Look what I found"

[emwearz]

Just won Starwing (Star Fox) on the SNES for AU $10.45 (USD $8.75) including postage on eBay. Im pretty happy with that.

Nice score!

Doesn't StarWing usually go for double that in AU?

I looked on eBay in the past for it and previously it has gone at around the $20 mark, looking now there is a 'buy it now' for $18. I generally have a $10 limit on games I buy (look at my game collection, most of them were 10 odd dollars).

Most SNES stuff is really pricey here, most stuff you find at places like cash converters are $20+ and the titles usually suck.

Buy yea, $10 is a great price.

Damn that's gotta suck sometimes.

On the upside though you guys have a lot more Namco Arcade Sticks than the US as whenever I googled or searched around for one I usually got an Australian site or forum.

When all is said and done, being PAL sucks for the most part, I am looking forward to doing some imports in the future (Almost all Square games before the Playstation were not released in PAL regions). But not only did our releases suck, our consoles sucked in the first place and I need to do 50/60HZ switch (On both my SNES and Mega Drive) and buy a converter before I can worry about the postage im going to have to pay on that stuff.

Over all being a retro gamer in Australia (and PAL regions) takes a fair whack of work just to get what you guys consider basics (Dragon Warrior for you goes for like $3-$6 on eBay, I would love to play it, but I not only need to import it, I need to mod my NES (which is not that hard but still).

Anyhow! Cant wait to get my Star Fox on!

Yeah, I'll admit that from what I've seen it can majorly suck to be retro in some other parts of the world, but every territory has it's sweet spot that you just can't get as easily or cheaply in other countries.

I'm taking the day off of work to go to a retro store that is about an hour drive away. I'll take some pics of the store if it's worth it.
Wish me lots of luck on finding a "find of the day".

Good luck! I plan on going far distances to awesome game stores too on my days off once I get a steady job.
