Yeah they were all cheap, it just pained me because they are all probably somewhat rare CIB. Not desirable obviously but the system flopped so hard I can't imagine production numbers being that big.

RANDOM TANGENT INCOMING

So you know what game is weirdly worth money now? Chulip. Some weird as hell Japanese adventure game. I tried to play it and it's terrible. I was searching for another game on Amazon and I saw the asking prices and I was like....wat? Ended up putting a sunfaded copy I got for a dollar years ago on ebay and sold it in a day. Going to try to hit up a store tomorrow that I know had it in stock last time I was looking through their PS2 games for under $10. This market is just so damn crazy right now.

Yeah, all my Lynx stuff is CIB, and I see a lot of CIB stuff on various forums. I've actually been thinking of picking up a title or two every now and then and work towards a complete set.

You can more than likely blame Youtube "celebrities" for that stuff. They bring obscure games to the attention of their fans and they in turn go and look for it on ebay/amazon. Therefore creating an artificial demand for the game driving the price up. Just subscribe to Game Grumps, or whatever popular Youtube crap there is nowadays and ride that fan wave to dollar-ville.

Anyway, let's take this to the hangout or something and not get even more off-topic.

Haven't really been that into the whole Amiibo thing, but I had to snag myself a Mega Man one. Also surprisingly found a boxed copy of Cave Story 3-D while I was at GS. Sadly no lenticular cover, but it was only $17. Which is way below ebay prices.

That means it's probably the reprint but at that price who cares?

Btw...Firefly is basically an NES game. It's BRUTAL by design.

Reprint was supposedly cartridge only.

Both factory sealed. Pugsley's Scavenger Hunt is fairly hard to find CIB (at least, I haven't had much luck over the last little while, there was a CB copy that had a few garish stickers on the box that sold for $86 recently, I figure a good condition CIB copy would run a little over $100). They're both in great condition, although Championship Pool is a tiny bit loose in its shrinkwrap and has a few scuffs and whatnot. Since I'm not getting them graded, I don't really care, and I only spent $26 on that one, which is roughly what a CIB game would have cost anyways.


Also grabbed a regular version of Majora's Mask 3DS a couple of weeks ago, and my copy of the Skull Kid Limited Edition arrived mid last week too. I'm keeping it sealed for now, not sure if I'm going to open it at any point in the future here.

Sealed NES games make me hard.

Homeworld CE arrived today. Damaged a little bit because Amazon can't pack. Couldn't get a replacement and I'm certainly not returning it and trying to get a mint one on Ebay so I just accepted $30 back.

I got my Hyperdevotion Goddess and Htol Firefly Diary LE's in the mail a few days back.

It's almost like Gypsy and I are buying the same games.
