Best Ever Retro Finds


Last week i saw a copy of super mario world and yoshi's island, for just 99p each.

Had I money, i would have bought them, and my mate didn't listen to me when i said they were worth something.

How much are they worth?
Here in Sweden you would probably get around €20-€30 for a complete Super Mario World and probably a bit more for Yoshi's Island. If you sell them on an auction site and they are in good condition... You could probably sell them for more though ...

Not really retro but I picked up the GBC for $8 in an american second hand shop :) , oh and MGS for GBC for $2.
 
A Sega CDX (combined Genesis and SegaCD in one very small unit that you could put batteries in and play audio CDs :ph34r:) with about 2 dozen games and a leather carrying case, for about $200 on Ebay.

I also found an NES 'dog bone' controller and an NES Advantage (not at the same time) in my Gamestop before they stopped selling retro stuff. :( Also found a Genesis Model 1, but I was out of money, and already having three kinds of Genesis, I couldn't justify putting it on my card. :p And I found a Super Scope 6 with accompanying cartridge for relatively cheap at a Babbage's.

And I found a copy of the SegaCD version of Microcosm for like $5 or $10, which was nice since I've had the PC version for like 10 years but never had a PC that will play it. :p

My worst retro find ever: a non-working Sonic & Knuckles, at that same Gamestop. :angry:

for people in melbourne australia, u should check out the laventen market. u can get heaps of retro stuff tere for cheap, as well as a few famicom clones.
 
Wow only 5 for a saturn. I had to pay $50 for a "complete Saturn with 3 games". Unfortunately a complete Saturn can also be a saturn with the three games, no controllers, no power cord, and no A/V wire. I still need the A/V wire but I got a controller and used the power from my old Playstation. I felt quite ripped off when I received it though but Im sure Ill be fine once I start playing Saturn games.
 
I got my Dreamcast with 12 games for 40 Euro from eBay :)

And a sealed Ms. PacMan cartridge (C64) for 50 Cent :)
 
I got Chrono Trigger for $1 at a garage sale from sum old lady before I pulled my $20 out she told me it waz just one dollar! That had to be the best deal I ever got for a game especially a game of that caliber Chrono is thy best RPG B)
 
Legend Of Zelda Collectors edition for Gamecube (not too retro but has Zelda 1 & 2, and OoT and MM) - FREE!!! (no i didnt use stars, the guy in Gamestation gave it to me for buyin Tony Hawks 4 for £7)
The guy gave it me too. I saw a box and said how much they are, he then gave me a nice sealed copy. I was well impressed :D
