    Was originally just a GC lot on donedeal (ye may have seen it), then eventually got talking to him, turns out he had a lot of lots and wanted to clear them all. I said I'd be interested, and he gave me first preference on most of his lots. Just about to start taking photos and found out there's a boxed Tales of Symphonia in there too, sweetness!

    He had some other lots I didn't get as well, but they were gone before I arrived and I didn't think

    was worth it...

    Nice one,maybe some of these will end up on the Retro Trading Sticky ? ;);)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,139 ✭✭✭martineatworld


    He was pricing it all pure cheap as well, I couldn't say no, god love him giving up his whole collection! Sorry, btw, long time reader etc, always meant to start posting on here properly. My camera battery is acting up so it may be tomorrow before photos are up but I will put them up!

    Total haul is as follows...

    2 DC's (think there is two, there's a boxed one anyway)
    2 GC's, 1 boxed
    2 Saturns
    Boxed Gamegear, box bit tattered but with manuals.

    Assorted leads, controllers and memory cards.

    And I'm genuinely scared to think of the number of games. Circa 180-220. 80% boxed, 60% cib. (Not retro but Time Crisis 4 boxed with gun for a fiver?!)

    A foam Triforce.
    About 20 ps1 jewel cases.
    Sengoku for the Neo Geo in plastic wrapping still was given as a freebie.
    Loads of ps1 demos
    Some cheatbooks
    A random handheld space Invaders game
    A folder full of random game manuals and original box art. Think I seen Original NES and Sega manuals thrown in there.

    Very happy man :)

    Sounds like the greatest haul I've ever heard of in Ireland. What's the deal? Did he own a shop? Or was he just a collector being hassled by his wife?

    You got yourself a ready made collection there. Congrats!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,139 ✭✭✭martineatworld


    Collector, used to buy lots of bundles and what not. He had a whole wall with a shelving system floor to ceiling half packed with games and memorabilia. And that's cos' he had taken the other half of it down and sold it already to either me or previously!

    Anyway, he suffered a faith that leads to the demise of many enthusiasts...

    Wife and kids

    His wife was supportive of it, but they're expecting twins and apparently babies and a game collection can't go in the same room together!

    A good lot of the games are rubbish though, and I won't even bother polluting the trading section with them. I could have a few decent GC doubles though, but we'll see. Anyway, I'll be off to focus on taking pictures now!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,798 ✭✭✭Jack burton


    I am so jelous of that stuff man, but let me be honest, retor gaming is actully really rubbish, no one here actully likes it, we just pretend to like it to get the women.

    SO as for the megadrive haul that is not amazingly epic in anyway just leave it in a room with me and o1s1n and a sharpened spoon and we'll get it sorted for you. :P


    Seriously though that is amazing, well done on spotting that, I never check donedeal.ie.
    As for myself I'm after scoring Shinobi III for about €15, I was really excited about making everyone jelous but now i dont think that will happen

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,798 ✭✭✭Jack burton

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,183 ✭✭✭✭Atavan-Halen


    Best birthday party ever!

    My cousin dropped down his old MD 1 in the box with manuals and styrofoam (sp?) along with Menacer 6 in 1 cartridge, King of the monsters, Thunder Force IV, EA Hockey & John Madden Football, Micro Machines turbo tournament 96 (complete with party invites inside :D), Gynoug (which is not actually in the box but spiderman instead) and PGA golf tour. And also a big stack of games magazines (EGM, Mean Machines etc..) from 92/93 :D Pics later


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,139 ✭✭✭martineatworld


    Here's some pics, game gear pic got deleted. There's admittedly a lot of filler found here, particularly the ps1 games and I didn't take pics of the DC lot, Plasma Sword the only one I was half bothered about, and only about 6 Saturn games.

    Few pics anyway...
