How much are they charging for this?

 

[OpenToSuggestions]

nes go for about 20-30 quid regular.

if you just starting collecting don't pay over the odds for wanting items or rose tinted vision. it gets very dear, very quickly doing this.

most stuff isn't rare yet.unless collecting obscure items.

remember just because something is listed at a price don't mean its worth that.


carboots/flea markets/charity shops are the best.ebay you can find odd cheap lots but everyone watches it now so not as good as it was.

I completely agree.
This one was 'cheap' for all boxed up nice standard as far as Ebay goes.

I only really buy the odd bit from Ebay. Job lots are best. My Megadrive (I posted on here around 15 months ago) was a decent enough buy.
Sadly the Facebook group Game Trader is full of utter morons.

I like getting games like Crash Bandicoot for a quid from charity shops!

My friend has Conkers Bad Fur Day stored away. She'll never ever play it. I keep telling her to flog it.

Carboot was rubbish, mainly PS2 FIFA, PES and NFS games.

Cash Converters had a MD Bare Knuckle in good nick, but I thought £20 was a bit too rich for me.

Picked up Metal Gear Solid 2 for £1 from CEX

That's class! Daytona is the pick of that bunch just because on its own is at least a tenner! Good buy there

Unfortunately Daytona is the only one without a case or manual.
Looking for a Saturn or Megadrive next.

How much is Diddy Kong Racing worth with box? I can get it with the box/instructions for £15, would like to play it again. Looking on ebay it seems £15 for box and unboxed £10.

 

[GIBURROWS]

It's worth whatever you are willing to part with.

Some excellent collections in here makes me want to dig out the old mega drive and play some desert strike or something haha.

 

[Guest2]

seriously thinking of buying a second hand megadrive and re-living some youth playing some of the best games of all time - Streets of Rage, Sonic, Ecco the Dolphin, Golden Axe, Road rash, Altered Beast, Shinobi etc etc.

The early 90s were a fantastic time for gaming. proper games, not all the rubbish now like COD 12

 

[GIBURROWS]

He must work out!
