Castlevania Legends cart and manual - $26 on eBay, (which is a bargain for this late Original-Gameboy release!!)

FINALLY! I now have a complete Castlevania Legends game, as well as all 9 of the Gameboy/DS "main 'Vania games", (obviously not including Kid Dracula..)

Words can't express how ecstatic I am to finally own this!!!



nice score, great game!

Im totally jealous, i picked up Castlevania Adventure not to long ago at a game shop for $9, but ive also had CIB Castlevania: Harmony Of Dissonance, and a CIB Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, but ended up trading both in.

I still have my GH Castlevania Symphony of the Night, Super Castlevania IV though.

Not GREAT deals but they were all in really good condition.

Mario 3 (NES) - 7.99
Double Dragon (NES) - 7.99
Soul Calibur II (GC) - 5.95
Amped (XBOX) - 4.99

You paid $4 too much for Amped.

Yeah, I mean, not to go negative, but that is the type of stuff dsh/hobie/ziggy were getting at - darth posted about 4 games that wer are all bought at or over market. We need some sort of criteria established folks. A good story, a rare item, below market value, something...otherwise i'm going to start posting my amazon purchase receipts for every new ps3 game I buy.

Well The girlfriend and I went out and it looked like it wasn't going to be a good day for finds. Not that Panama City FL ever really has much for finds. I went to the Flea Market and picked up:

Super Bust-A-Move PS2- $5
Monopoly Sega Genesis Sealed - $8
Mortal Kombat 2 CIB Sega Genesis- $8
Star Wars Shadows of the Empire N64 cart and manual only- $5
Shadowgate 64 Cart only- $8
X-Files Toy- $5
Castlevania Adventure cart only Game Boy- $8
Tomb Raider ps1 CIB GH- $5
Star Wars cart only NES- $5
Faxanadu cart only NES- $5
Duck Tales cart only NES- $8
Sonic CD complete non-broken case Sega CD-$15
Dark Stalkers complete long box PS1- $15
Castle of Illusion starring Mickey Mouse CIB but in rough shape all the way around- $2
Castlevania N64 cart only- $8
Mischief Makers N64 cart only-$8


Then I went to Goodwill and picked up some anime dvds. Got Season 1 of Gantz, complete collection of Elfen Lied, and Ghost in the Shell special 2 disc edition all for $12 Here is the kicker though. I picked up something I need help figuring out the history and how much its worth. It is a Lunar: A Silver Star Story promo toy. There is a pic at the bottom of it. I know a lot of you are big fans of Lunar so I am hoping I can figure more out on it.

Edit: Found it on Ebay. It seems it is actually on there pretty cheap. Not as exciting as I was hoping it would be.

That was a preorder bonus for the PS1 release of Lunar: A Sliver Star Story. I have one too, still sealed :)

It's a cool item, if not especially pricey right now.

Seems to work ok. Came with one game. Paid $70. :?

I am a little concerned it seems the left screen might be going. Showing a hazy mirror image on the left screen.

Anyways, everything looks nice on the unit box is pretty rough.

I'll probably be you in a couple of months. Those weird ass consoles are just so interesting and tempting.

Once you try them you kind of get used to it. I only have tennis so it isn't too bad but i'd imagine with the dual d-pads it could get interesting.

It is weird powering the system through the controller.
