If you were trying to maximize your profit from it, I'd recommend selling the nintendo stuff. Dreamcast really isn't worth much, and from what I can see of the games you got with it, they're not particularly valuable on the market.

That said, Conker's Bad Fur Day could get you most (if not all) of your investment back, alone.

Though keep the rarer games or you may regret it.

Very nice haul!

At least play them all before selling, although I think the rent might be late. I like to read your take on that Tilt Sensor, I have a PS2 version that works reasonably well with Super Monkeyball. A different type of play, trying to think what N64 games could be fun with it.

In addition to Conker, Gamecube Pikimin is also pricey. Might be good to do some research such as the ability to play GBA games on the big screen with the Gamecube Gameboy player. Be careful before you sell anything.

I never saw good deals like that when I was in SF! But sell away here, there are plenty of us who will buy them!

Nintendo Famicom Hong Kong Version Model# HVC-001HGK & 24M turbo Super Version (SNES Game Dev) adapter - $100 for both

could be a great deal to someone interested...

hmm would it outputting pal signal be a problem to someone with an american TV?

Picked up a PSP Go that looks like it was hardly (if at all) used tonight, together with and extra USB cable and AC Adapter plus two cradles plus a carrying case. (All official Sony gear of course.) Total damage was $80 - a little more than I would've liked, but seemed like a fair price.

That's not really why I wanted to post though. While on the way to pick up the PSP Go, we stopped at a nearby plaza when my little girl saw a video rental place with a Horton Hears a Who standup. She desperately wanted to see the elephant store... so we went in. Huh. $20 for a complete (used) copy of Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn. Oh, and it actually rings up at $15? Sure, I'll take that.

Very happy on both counts, especially the surprise Fire Emblem pick up.

Yes, you'd get a rolling B&W picture if your TV doesn't accept PAL signals, which most won't unless more recent TVs that are more 'global' for models would.
