Some new arcade boards

Picked up Raiden II locally, and got Progear from Mjmjr25, which I will now thoroughly be addicted to.

Congrats man!

Choose your friends wisely. That mjmjr guy is the pied piper of wallet drainage.

I got NBA Hang Time and Wave Rave (N64) for $2.50 each at Goodwill. Wave Race might not have been the best deal but it was a label upgrade and usually games there are $5 a piece so I figured both of them for $5 wasn't bad.

That game goes for $45-$50 cart-only these days. Good find. My pawn shops totally suck. All they have is beat-up old sports titles for too much money.

Thanks man. I know and there was this older guy Id say in his 50's who was in there and he was selling a 64 lot and what not and I happend to see he had to GBA games to. Both of these GBA games were posted on craigslist in my area a few weeks back. So I asked him if it was him he made the post and he was like yeah no one will buy them so I just bring them here. Well as we get to talking he is like a have 3 regular nintendo's a bunch of games and a few controllers CIB.

I was like well I am very interested..what would you want for that..he goes 20 bucks lol. I was like alright man. I got his number, just shot him an email and explained to him that pawnshop we go to is a complete farce and I would love to get first dibs on his items. I explained I am not a reseller, I strictly collect and I only sell my duplicates..(which I sell for a fraction of the price of ebay/amazon/pawnshops). This gentleman also whispered to me that the Conkers I picked up goes for 45-50 on ebay all day...lol So this man is knowledgable of what things are worth, I just think he is struggling for money. I hope the pawnshop doesnt undermind me and snag this potential gold mine from me.

ahahhahahhahaaahahhahahahaha life of retro game collector boiiiiiiii

Ive been on a hot streak to..knock on wood

I feel the exact same way. I actually GAVE a loose copy of Conker to a guy that works at Play N Trade. He was telling me that he was getting tired of waiting for a copy to come in to buy. Now, he always holds retro games for me, and calls me when new stuff comes in. He always shoots me a fat discount too. Totally worth giving a copy of Conker away for free.
