Xerino Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 So, I went to one of our towns many thrift shops today to see about loading up on some winter wear, I always check out the "electronic" section to see about maybe finding something I can flip quick, there was a new box just loaded with old NES cartridges, nothing great, mostly real common crap, but there was one that immediately caught my eye, and with good reason, BEHOLD!! It only cost me a buck... debating on selling it.. not sure yet. Aergan 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was probably for a gold cartridge, I probably will just put it on Craigslist since I dont really deal with eBay unless Im buying something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xerino Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 It happens...a VERY rare occurance, but it does happen, its not the first time Ive found a rare gem in a bargain box, couple years back I found BOTH Panzer Dragoon Saga for sega saturn and Marvel vs. Capcom 2 for the dreamcast on the same day at a flea market. only paid $15 for both.

Praetor Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 hey congrats on the find! it sells pretty well on ebay, so you might check in there and make a profit or keep it since it's a pretty rare item and a piece of gaming history. btw: only the golds go price wild, since there is only 26 of them. but alas, some say it's pretty easy to forge a gold :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeChipshop Member Posted November 26, 2014 Member Share Posted November 26, 2014 Gold one is worth more but damn you should make a pretty decent profit on a grey one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Warwagon MVC Posted November 26, 2014 MVC Share Posted November 26, 2014 Don't you just love it when people don't know what they have right infront of them. Like the PS3 I got off eBay that had firmware 3.55 and he was setting it for only $70 because the bluray drive was broke! He had no idea PS3's with that jailbreak compatible firmware go for A LOT more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadDriox Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 LOL I can assure you that you will make a lot more money selling that than you brought it for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xendrome Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 OP, send it to me, I will post it on EBay and sell it for you, minus the final auction fee's and Paypal fee's, I will take 15% and the rest is yours. Serious offer, so PM me if you are interested. Praetor and Draconian Guppy 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
