Less than $100 total including shipping. Granted I've had the wavy book/back art/case for nearly a year waiting on a disc. I just lucked into a minty book and disc for cheap. :twisted:

hey good for you man. You deserve it for your patience though. I'm not like that. Too neurotic. I can't buy pieces of a game and make it complete later. Too OCD. I hate even having an incomplete game in my collection. Drives me totally nuts. So good on you for sticking with it.

I used to be like Hobie...now I am like Noise. At some point I am simply going to unload all of my disc only/incomplete games on the B/S/T forum regardless of whether I have played through them...

I've gotten significantly less picky over the past few years and really don't mind picking up disc only stuff if it's cheap enough.

I don't actively seek out disc only, but I'm not gonna say no to a $15 disc only copy of Snatcher or something.

I have a few cart only games that I have bought parts to upgrade them, but most of the time I just buy a complete or I'm fine with the playable part of the equation. In this case with it being a silly pricey game I took the opportunity to buy the empty case when it presented itself as it was cheap. I just happened to luck out on the rest.

LATE NIGHT POST! @_@ Got back from being out and about all day.

Personally when it comes to old cart games, I dont care about CIB. I just like owning the game.

Newer stuff (cd consoles) I really do prefer CIB.

Today at the fleamarket I got from one seller for $20

Legend Of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse Gamegear w/case, Sonic Chaos Gamegear cart only,Tetris GB cart only (replacing my beat-up copy), Super Breakout GB cart only, Silpheed SEGA CD Case but no booklet, Ms. Pac-Man Genesis CIB, Side Pocket Genesis with box.

The guy also gave me a case with no game of PAC-MAN World PS1.

I also found Amped 2 XBOX CIB for a Dollar

Afterwards I went to target and I found Kingdom Hearts 3Ds Dream Drop Distance for $10.00 Clearance. I guess it was clearance, it had the red sticker. But the sticker said "online item" So I guess it was an customer item that got cancelled? Or something that shouldn't be at the store and got tagged clearance? Oh well, a 3ds game for 10 bucks is sweet.
2600 and jr,5200,nes/top loader, master system, intellivision, TG-16, genesis 1,2,3, SNES, snesJR, CDX, 3DOfz10, gamegear, gameboy and pocket, GBC, sega saturn, PSOne w/screen, Virtual Boy, N64, NGPC, Gameboy Advance sp, Dreamcast, Black Dreamcast, oXBOX, Playstation 2, PStwo, Gamecube, gameboy player, DS lite,DSi XL, PSP1000/3000,Wii,PS3 120gb,3DSXL, xbox 360, PSvita, PS4
