OFFICIAL Retro Console Videogame FS/WTB Thread

im currently looking for boxes and manuals......

anyone have any NES / SNES boxes and or manuals they want to sell / trade ?

shoot me a pm with what you have ....

ive got some nes/snes/n64 games for trade bait too ... tanx

I've got a third party 3do controller and I think I have another one in a sealed box. Interested?

Its the most common one out there, so not very valuable at all, but if its clean and functional there's some value there. Might be worth cleaning up and trying to sell

Thanks, but I finally got one and also fixed the CD pickup on the second one. The only problem now is there's no sound (I've read about a fix for this thou).

the 3do is a great system.... i always had good memories of playing street fighter II, the horde, alone in the dark, and shockwave too. great controller setup too (super comfy).

I won't be able to check until the week end, but I know I have duplicates of several of those game for NES, Genesis and N-64. I know for fact that I have an extra loose Doom 64 (I was using it to test an N64 I was working on last week.) Are you looking for games in the box or just loose cartridges if available?
I have a friend that's looking to sell some of his stuff as well, and I'll pass on the information to him about what you're looking for.

Looking for a complete in box Earthbound if anyone's got one. I passed up on one for a pretty reasonable price at CCAG this year and regret it now :p

Also still buying large lots of random games, whatever you've got, let me know!

is your friend local in socal? I might be interested in nes/snes/turbo games

Is there a market for original Atari 2600 game boxes in nice condition? I was smart enough to keep all my packages in storage boxes. Unfortunately, my parents basement flooded and my brother threw out everything - easiest way to clean up. All my old Atari game cartridges in the carrying case saved for years - gone. So now I have this box of original game boxes.

it seems like Atari games / boxes are still pretty reasonably priced (compared to Nintendo / sega games). of the old 2600 games... it seems the first boxes with the flaps in the front sell for the most $$. some of the rarer titles fetch big bucks still too .... beat em and eat em / tooth protectors / chase the chuck wagon / and others.

take a pic of the boxes and post them here also, sorry bout you losing your carts. bummer bro.

Well, Goodwill in Santa Ana got a bunch of stuff in:

And this is only a sample.

some retro game store wanted to move worthless merchandise and get a nice tax writeoff

Seems like what my local Play N' Trade would do.

i love this store.... although the prices seem to keep going up up and away....

did you see that big ROBO BOP in the back of the store?

Yeah, I remember a few months back when they had loose copies of E.T. for the 2600 priced at $19.

As to your question:
0606161021-00_(resized).jpg

No mallet, no plunger or box it's mounted too, a few missing lights, no ticket dispenser. Yours for $119. (but it had some old Chuck E. Cheese tickets inside). I think the non-working Eight Ball they had a few years ago for $300 was a better deal.

They get stuff donated from individuals, and some NOS and returns from Target (they've even had boxed X-Boxes, X-Box Ones, Wii's and Wii-U's) Hardly all worthless. You should check it out.

i heard through the grapevine that the person that donated that robot also donated some other machines (including a marvel vs capcom cab).

sounds like it never came out on the floor for sale. maybe it will end up @ shopgoodwill or into another employees hands?

I know how goodwills work, however, when you make a donation you can get a reciept that you can then write off on your taxes. Nobody donated shelves worth of xbox games (mostly sports titles if you look close), and hot wrapped wii's and fat 360's (probably xenon's). All that stuff is exactly as it would come from a retro game store. How do I know this? Because I used to work at one. Goodwill doesn't hot wrap their consoles and bundle them up that nicely, and target certainly didn't donate all that stuff either. Trust me on this one, thats stuff thats nearly unsellable at the retro stores, they donated it, and got a decent little write off instead of it taking up room they could use for good inventory.

I'd say check on ShopGoodwill.com. A friend of mine got two arcade games there for $18, and I got a Jatre Specter Cocktail for$11.

i got a nintendo red tent once on shopgoodwill for 5 bucks

Wow, that's insane. Really looking to put a red tent in my shop, it'd be a nice little thing to have here.

Gonna keep my eye on shopgoodwill for now on.

...So ...Much ....Jealousy!

haha.... this was years ago.... red tent on shopgoodwill.com for 5 bucks pickup only @ the santa ana location. i sold it years back, but it had super mario on one side / excitebike on the other

over the years ive mos def had some luck @ that store.... once got a non working complete space duel for 80 bucks at the computer store and another time a T2 pinball (working) for 200 over in the main store.

shop good will is pretty picked over by resellers these days from my experience, but that goes for just about every facet of retro collecting I suppose, so good luck to you all!

I am thinking about selling my retro collection. I have about 80 NES, 10 Master System, 20 Genesis and 10 SNES games. I am using a retron system for NES, and have a model 1 Genesis with Master System Converter by Stone Age Gamer and a regular SNES.

Is it easier to sell these separate lots or one big lot?

Also where would be the best place to sell? CL, Ebay, other sites?

It'd be much easier to sell as a lot, but you could get more if you sell individually (but it would involve waiting for them to sell, shipping them all out one by one, eBay fees, etc.).

Looking for a Nintendo ds Pokemon platinum.

Me too. I have an empty box for it.

Still looking hard for a copy of Ninja Golf for the 7800. Complete in box much preferred.

Also would love to buy a complete in box Gizmondo if anyone happens to have one of those.

Yeah, I buy the strangest stuff, I know.

WTB:
Mario Tennis N64
N64 Controller

Here's what's left of my SNES/SFC, Genesis/MD, N64 and NES collection. Prices are in the pics. If you're interested in the manuals, make an offer.

PM me if you're interested in anything. These are my "local" prices...shipping would be extra.

Mystical Ninja, Goemon 2, Animaniacs, Ren & Stimpy, and Rocko have been sold.

Got some trade bait here. Pokemon snap and quest 64 are sealed. I'm looking for nes/snes mainly

IMG_20160914_181125247 (resized).jpg

IMO it's best to track one down with the 101 backlit screen. I think the NES one came with a frontlit. The difference is astounding.

contra 3 is a great game.... but i think that one is more in the 40 - 50 dollar range now.

still worth it for such a great game. seems like a steal compared to some of the other over priced snes games now!

I have a few games/consoles laying around.

Wow, you guys are obviously all youngsters...no Atari stuff at all.

I actually just sold all my Atari 7800 and 2600 stuff for $500. I had a complete set of original 7800 carts (no boxes) with console and many odd rare pieces too. Starpath supercharger, for one, and many 2600 games but nothing too rare although had a couple of the dual ended cartridges with Chuck Norris game I believe it was. Also sold 2 Lynx systems w/cases and about 60 carts for $250.

Other stuff, I got $90 for an Odyssey2 with 23 games, one of them was a supergame called Quest for the Rings which was very cool boardgame/video game. Also threw in the Intellivision on that deal as nobody wanted it. ;p

I am keeping my Pong system!

I grew up with Atari, and most retro collectors I know don't give a shit about Atari. Even when I was a kid I didn't like it that much, since the arcade ports were so terrible. NES and onward still holds up. Atari doesn't.

I was part of the Atari generation as well, but have zero interest in the consoles. Those just kept me busy until I could get back to the arcade. The garage full of arcade games fill that need. I have recently started getting the Nintendo consoles, and you are right, they still hold up well. I played through the original Zelda recently, and I enjoyed it just as much as I did 30 years ago.

it's time to start offing a good portion of my collection

I've started to list some of the 1,000+ japanese gaming magazines on ebay (seller id: digital_rats_nest) and I've got about 2,000+ sealed games that I'm going to be selling as well. if anyone is interested in the spreadsheet that I've started to compile, just pm me with your email address
