Use this thread to post any good trades, sales, and purchases you make related to retro gaming. We seem to get a lot of those type threads.

I'll start it off:
Today I agreed to trade Neo Turf Masters and Metal Slug 2nd Mission on Neo Geo Pocket Color for SonicN and The King of Fighters for N-Gage.

It's a sweet deal, because I have duplicates of both games I'm trading. So I'm essentially losing nothing and getting two games.

I was about to, but then I started writing my Virtual Boy review (which I just posted).

i got TWEWY for 9.98 off of Amazon, new.

It arrives today.

On a side note, I bought The book of the New Sun at the same time, and while I'm not entirely sure what's going on, I'm about 150 pages in and it's pretty fantastic.

It's been awhile since a book kept me interested for most of a weekend day.

Found a SNES at a thrift store for $3 (Without cables) They also had a Genesis, and a PSX, which in retrospect, I should have bought.

I just agreed to buy a Bandai Wonderswan Color with two games for 40 dollars. One game, Blue Wing Blitz, is boxed. The other is some loose Digimon game.

And I know I said I was going to stop buying stuff in preparation for the deal I'm making with Dave, but these funds came from that infamous craigslist Laserdisc deal that never got done. I just got sick of waiting and told that guy to shove it.

Are you going to keep all the stuff you collect and pass it on?

Or sell it in like 40-50 years?

Not really thinking that far down the road.

My collection is probably very valuable. More valuable than I would care to know, because then I'd be tempted to sell it. But definitely more than a few thousand dollars.

I only buy games and hardware I actually see myself using, so as not to end up with a bunch of useless shit. But I reckon that having so much valuable stuff around is a good thing, in case of some kind of emergency down the road. Video games can be replaced, and I have something to fall back on.

I'm building up a small collection of gaming stuff myself, but like famicommander here, I'd only get stuff I'd actually want to use.

(It's starting to get to the point where I have more games and hardware to play said games than I know what to do with, though.)

I plan on having a gaming room when I get my own place. My books and Laserdiscs will probably also be there.

I got Stranglehold and A Xbox 360 controller for 25 bucks, not bad considering it's an elite controller and a kickass game.

Got my Wonderswan Color today.

It's a well-built little machine. Good screen visibility (despite the lack of a backlight), good response and feel from the buttons, great battery life, solidly manufactured.

It isn't really a deal, but I imported Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box for the gf.

I just got Indigo Prophecy for $7.00 off of Amazon. The shipping was more than half of that.
