The Mega Drive text on the side looks very odd, but I see it's made my tec-toy so that probably has something to do with it. Very nice anyway :pac:

Well I was buying up those original ps1 analog pads because they go for cheap when people don't know what they are, but sell for a bit when people know what they are

Aw man, that's not cool. You're just buying up stuff to sell on again?

? I didn't mention selling them at all. You totally misread my post :P

I said you can pick them up cheap. But when people know what they are they try and sell them for more as they're rare.

Well I'll give you a comparison.

It never ever EVER comes up on ebay for sale. There was one copy about six months ago I think it was. Buy it now of €100. Someone else bought it while I was trying to make up my mind.

This copy was €45 buy it now

was so cheap because it came from Brazil. Found it on ebay global -

No worries! :P

I always get things at great prices but could never sell them on for more than I paid. I'd feel too bad.

Although, if you're interested in paying €5000 for a Sonic Crackers proto, give me a shout...

ghostchant · 28-04-2010 4:50pm

Bought one of those ps1 non-dual shock analogue controllers when they came out, was a total impulse buy. Then remember seeing the dual-shock a few weeks later and thinking 'f***ing typical'...happy with my impulse buy now though!

batari · 28-04-2010 11:29pm

Thought I'd throw up a few of my latest purchases:

Couple of Taiwan pirate 2600 PAL games: Bobby is going home, Enduro, Boxing and Football. Happy just to have a few in the collection.

Nothing overly special here, but a few I've been looking to get for a while, Double Dragon, M*A*S*H, Star Raiders (Plus Keypad), Motorodeo Jungle Hunt and Desert Falcon. Picked up Motorodeo and Double Dragon in a bundle with another 7800 with another copy of Mario Bros.

More to bring home from work, will throw up more pics soon!:pac:

Expensive compared to your average Megadrive game, but not bad considering what some people want for it. Was 36 euro for a complete copy. Postage from Australia brought it up to a little over 40 euro.

Ebay Australia is your best bet for rarer PAL Megadrive games as the AUS dollar is pretty worthless in comparison to the Euro. Get a great transfer rate.

I paid a whole British penny for Super Street Fighter Special Champion Edition as well as a penny each for Bart vs. Space Mutants and Sonic 3.

...all in Gamestation in the UK of course.

Butch Cassidy · 29-04-2010 4:14am

Metal Gear Solid Graphic Novel for €2! This is bound to be a collectible rarity in years to come. Now doubt it won't now that I have it lol!

Butch Cassidy · 29-04-2010 11:38pm

Are you old enough to have played them when they were originally out? Or do you want them for some other talismanic reason? I do just wonder about the retro gaming thing and is some of it just nostalgia...

some do it for nostalgia reasons,other for goal reasons,others just for pure hype,instance owning a certain value game doesnt really get you anywhere,its not going to get you into a pub or club free,most likely you come across someone who wouldn't know how importance of a certain game,i guess its like a music or record collection,trying to fill a gap,sometimes you have to put your money where your mouth is if you want a certain high value game,no ifs and buts about the expensive of it,just buy it,instance i doubt anyone would sell their most expensive game at below cost price to which they paid for it.

now history repeats itself in many instances,i.e some might shriek or ignore the thaught of emulation but would not heistate downloading the game to their latest console to play it on.

batari · 30-04-2010 12:20am

Couple of Double Enders, and Dream Flight(Nightmare Pirate):

Picked up a new Homebrew this week, here's all four I have now:

Thrust+ and Lady Bug

Gunfight and Reindeer Rescue

CiDeRmAn · 30-04-2010 4:22pm

Some very nice Atari games there.
My pride and joys in that dept are Defender II, awesome to play with two sticks, and the equally brilliant Ms Pacman.
Not that rare, either of them, but a whole lot of fun to play!

Oh, and got a lovely Neogeo AES stick from Atariman, thank you very much, feels awesome to play Pulstar, Last Blade 2 and Neo Drift Out now!

batari · 30-04-2010 4:34pm

Cheers CiDeR, hope to get these two old Nes' back up and running soon!

Ah no, it's Snake Eater.

Butch Cassidy · 30-04-2010 8:50pm

The third one is a fantastic game. There's two problems I had with it though :
1) the camo index just seemed so uninteresting after you've played the Splinter Cell games with the light/sound meter
2) the bloody camera!

At first play I just ran through Snake Eater and didn't bother going back to it until a couple of years later. The thing with camuflage is still annoying - going into the menu everytime you're lying on a different surface! - and the camera issue never goes away.

They should've done right by the game and recalled it and given everyone a free Subsistence ie. the first disc with the game on it that had the proper camera.

It's probably the best of the four I think storywise.

Jack burton · 30-04-2010 10:00pm

I need to get subsistence.

I think a complete copy of Megaman the Wily Wars just slipped through my fingers yet again

Think i need some help finding this one!

o1s1n · 30-04-2010 10:10pm

How much did this one go for as a matter of interest?

There was someone on Sega-16 selling a copy. wanted about 150 dollars though..thought he'd offer it there before going on ebay to try and sell it for more. The cheek!

Jack burton · 30-04-2010 10:14pm

It was that one, haha, He tried to sell it for 200 a while back and i offered him 130, offered him the 150 for it this time ( just because, f3ck it! I want that game ).

He said in the thread that it has been sold but hasnt let me know in a PM yet so i assume that its not mine.

I kinda thought that you would have known about it, didnt want to tell you I was going to pay $150 for it

o1s1n · 30-04-2010 10:20pm

you offered him the 150? woah! You must really want it! :P

Have you tried setting ebay up so it alerts you every time the game is listed? Might be worth a shot.

Jack burton · 30-04-2010 10:23pm

Ah i had money in my paypal so i said **** it, kinda glad i didnt get it now though.

Ah i check ebay pretty frequently for it, only after seeing one in the UK and one in France today, think they might have been the same copy though :S

o1s1n · 30-04-2010 11:01pm

Check out what I just found in my photobucket account

Atavan-Halen · 30-04-2010 11:05pm

Ah o1s1n don't be mean :P

Atavan-Halen · 01-05-2010 10:10pm

I dunno, spotted it in Cash Converters and grabbed it for €5.99

A quick ebay search tells me any where from €14 up (buy it now).

Lets hope you don't try and continue the trend of ripping off other retro gamers by selling it on at that price!

€6 seems standard for Cash Converter Xbox games. Not great but not the worst I suppose though you wonder who outside of us is buying them?

Ah well yes of course you can get it cheaper by bidding, but I was just quoting buy it now prices as bid prices differ.
