Waiting hurts my soul...

Quote from Mecha Richter:

I wanna know if they have what I listed before buying. I might not be able to afford all of them at once, so I'd like to know what they have first.

Well, if you're serious about them, I can always hold on to them for a while until you can afford them. If you really want to know if something is there before getting though PM your phone number and I'll call you if I find anything. It'll be between 11am - 12pm PDT. I don't except any of these to actually be there though. Alternatively, give me a price limit and order of preference.

Quote from RaijinXBlade:

Gotta say I am interested in a complete Crusader of Centy for the Genesis. If there's only a cart, I'd settle for it as long as it doesn't have any major damage (e.g. markings, tears, etc.)

Not to be a dick, but just for the record, I asked first. Roll Eyes

Let's hope they have two.

I doubt they'd have the games Mecha Richter's looking for at that price. If they did, someone would snatch them up within a few days--and those are rare titles, so it's not like they'd get traded in often. Many people, myself included, would take them at that price. I don't know how large this store is, but the odds of finding what's requested here, in general, will be very difficult.

No worries. First come first served, like most things on the trading post.

Yeah, I figure. If there's one person interested in a game, then I'm sure there's someone else.

Going to go in about 3 hours. Hopefully everyone that wants something has seen this thread.

Yep, I'll look. 30 minutes left for any last minute requests.

The problem with this store is that many people who work there are gamers/collectors as well, so any rare games that pass through are often snatched up before it hits the floor. Still, there are times I've been surprised by what I've found.

It's a fairly big store. I tried to take pictures once, they said they don't allow photography. I really don't have much to compare it to though since most game stores I've seen are little hole in the wall places. I've drawn a map here for my own amusement just now to try to show how big the place is. It's all from memory, so it may not be to scale, but I tried to get it as close as possible. I may have missed somethings, but this should give an idea. Anyway, time to go, wish me luck.

And... back. Not that big of a haul, but I hope people are happy with their games.

Quote from NoiseCrash:

Cruis'n USA (N64) $4
Goemon's Great Adventure (N64) $23-$24 sale price

(carts only)

Quote from mikwuyma:

Blood Will Tell - PS2, and I'm looking for it with the box and manual.

(they had like 5 of these, are you sure it's a good game? Wink

) It is complete

Quote from Renokye:

They might have Skies of Arcadia Legends!

(Complete)

Quote from dballin:

Teddy Boy (Sega Card)
Shadow of the Beast (only need Cart and even then only if you find other things I want)

Cart only for Shadow of the Beast. Teddy Boy looks extra complete (although the box has one of the corners broken the label is intact) with inserts as well.
They had Kenseiden, but no instructions.

Quote from Pootrain:

Super Metroid and Lagoon

(carts only.)

My search for Crusader of Centy continues I guess.
Either way, thanks for doing this dood!

Sorry, didn't see your post in time, but it looks like they didn't have any in stock anyway, but it's all good. Thanks for checking. Smiley

Yep no problem! Maybe next year, or possibly Thanksgiving, they have some sales on Black Friday (it changes every year though).

And thanks for the map. Helps to get a sense of what systems take up what space. NES and Genesis seem underrepresented for a store of this size. Derrrrn those new-fangled systems.

Their DS and PS2 games take up the most room. NES and Genesis sections have grown a bit smaller over the years, but I'd say they still have a few hundred games for each.

I also forgot to put the small NEO-GEO section, and N64 which is next to DS and kind of spills over into SNES. SNES is probably the most disappointing when it comes to size. I'd say less than 200 games.

My games arrived a couple of days ago. Who knew Super Metroid was so fun? Thanks again Zenic

My feelings on The Demon Rush

Thanks for Blood Will Tell, Zenic. The game actually arrived early this week and I've been playing it a bit. Yes, it's a good game, if somewhat flawed (the camera is terrible, moreso than most 3D games).

Glad to hear you're enjoying them. I "tested" Blood Will Tell a bit, it's pretty cool, although the first couple of levels are really easy.
