Picked up this NES Top Loader lot for $150 today.
Some of the highlights are the Top Loader itself, Contra, Yoshi's Island, Mega Man IV, CIB Mega Man, and a copy of Ogre Battle for the PSX.

It was quite a fun trip too! I tried a filafle (sp?) for the first time. It was fantastic.mjmjr25 wrote:^^Nice haul bro - and you got a road trip out of it, always nice to have a story to go with a cool pickup.
Some info on the GEN/VECTREX controller...

That is not a simple mod at all
The only downside is the stick is missing, so just the flat screw is there. So, I hollowed out a small black eraser and screwed it on. Workin like a champ.

Unfortunately, yes. I've been looking out for the composite Top Loader myself and I was hoping I'd luck out with this one. I've been scanning ebay for one a few weeks now, and still no dice.vlame wrote:is the top loader RF?dedalusdedalus wrote:

Yeah, definitely.vlame wrote: 1 in a million. i said fuck it and bought an AV famicom. now i just need a converter to play american games.
I'm probably going to break down and just have the Top Loader modded, but it would be nice to have a composite Top Loader as a collector's piece. It might just be one of the rarest pieces of Nintendo hardware.

Re: Video Game "Finds of the Day"
Yeah they are for me. I wouldn't buy common X-Box titles for resale unless it was for a lot and I got the items EXTREMELY cheaply.retrosportsgamer wrote:I would say you paid fair value at 50.

Probably some of those at other shops could be $2 or so each, but I'm still happy. I got most of the X-Box games I want.
I didn't have an X-Box or Gamecube, but I just couldn't resist the pretty silver/crystal colours.

AV NES top loaders were never sold at retail.

Yup, I'm aware of the fact that AV Top Loaders were only available by buying the Top Loader and complaining to Nintendo regarding the poor video quality.Breetai wrote:AV NES top loaders were never sold at retail.
