Good luck doing that now-days.

5 horribly mangled n64 games. Banjo is especially bad.

A new game store opened up about 30 mins north of me so a friend and I went to check it out. It was pretty run of the mill type stuff but i brought a bunch of cheapo NES games that were sitting in my FS thread here for months and the guy ended up giving me more in trade-in than what i was asking for on the forum! So we're all talking and he mentions he's got a bunch of games out back and he takes us into the back room...

There's a shelf with tons of US Saturn games. This guy has no idea what he has.

Long story short I walked in with a bunch of crummy NES games and walked out with Guardian Heroes and Shining Force II and all I had to pay was 5 bucks.

Gold mine. We're going back tomorrow.

So I went back today. Walked in with a bunch of sports games for Saturn/SCD/Genesis, the Hori EX2 360 stick, Wii rock band track packs and a few other crappy games that were just taking up space and walked out with US Saturn copies of Clockwork Knight 2, Panzer Dragoon, Panzer Dragoon II Zwei, Wipeout, X-Men Children of the Atom, Pokemon Puzzle League for N64, Truxton for Genesis, Vice Project Doom for NES AND $60 CASH.

Why can't this happen to me.

The perfect storm of a brand new game store hungry for inventory and a less-than-knowledgeable owner.

I've gotten ahold of N64 games that someone colored black with sharpie before. Not a pretty sight. I'm guessing that's what happened here. haha

There was an HK seller on ebay who i'd bought from before - saw he had a link to his website, but he wasn't actually setup to sell from his website, just browse his goods and then linked back to his ebay auctions.

He did have an email though - so I messaged him that I was interested in (3) of his PGM carts, if we setup a paypal goods deal - could he cut the difference on the ebay fee he would've paid. Sure nuff', that sounded good to him. So he sent me an invoice, I sent him money, he sent me these:

Oriental Legend Super


The Gladiator


The Killing Blade


My wife also picked me up a book as a nice surprise, so a pretty good day. I paid $40 under market and free ship.

Dude, I know where that hard cover version is for $15..... not sure if I should tell you about my "secret store" though.... LOL. Let me know if you're interested though, and I'll tell you where to get it. Not sure on what you should pay for the paperback one.

Yeah, thats where I saw it. I figured the price was a bit high. Wanted to check as they don't come up too often. Not much of Arc the Lad fan though. I'd just get it to put it in the hands of some one who needed it.

Quetip with rubbing alcohol on it scrub the contacts on both sides. Dry with other end
if that fails. Try cleaning it with a old tooth brush.
