Local game shop's July 4th sale (2014 edition)

2014-06-29 02:15:16 pm

Waiting hurts my soul...

Here's their website with prices: http://gamedude.com/

There is no indication of stock, but you can call ahead (they don't hold games) or just ask me to look when I'm there. I'm happy to pick up anything for anyone. Let me know what you're looking for and if you're okay with the listed prices. This place is rather large and has games from Atari 800 to current generation, but selection is small for certain systems (all Atari, SegaCD, 3DO, and TG are limited).

SALE: Usually the sale is 20% off, but with sales tax that comes out to about 10% off, so take 10% the listed prices.

REQUESTS: Let me know if you have any particular requests like no rattling inside cartridges or no scratches on discs/cases. Also, let me know how complete the game needs to be for you. Please confirm the price of the game in your request as it has the potential to change up to the day of purchase.

SHIPPING: Depends on the game/system, but most cartridge games can ship for 3.50 (includes tracking). Flat rate boxes are ~$6, medium is ~$12, and large is ~$16 last I checked. I'll combine as much shipping as I can for multiple games. International shipping averages about $5 more for Mexico and Canada, and $10 more for all other locations for standard packages (more for the flat rate boxes which can get up to $40 - $50).

Good luck, and I hope the games are in stock.

Ciento Dos Huevos

I'm interested in:

NES:
Mission Impossible
Solar Jetman
Hydlide
Kung Fu
Gyromite
Wrath of the Black Manta
Werewolf: The Last Warrior
Abadox
Commando
Bad Dudes
Legendary Wings
Rocket Ranger
Shingen: The Ruler
Silk Worm
Tiger Heli
To The Earth

I'm pretty anal about label, so anything torn or the label curling up, just ignore. But if there's a sticker on there, no problem (assuming it didn't rip anything). Cart only is fine, don't care about boxes or manual in the least.

PS1:
Dragon Warrior VII

Needs to be very nice. No tears on manual, inserts very nice, disc must be in good shape (no deep scratches). Don't care about the jewel case being cracked or anything.
Thanks!!!

WOW.

Hey, can I request you look and see if they have Shadow Tower for PS1 in stock? I need a copy for ESA. I would need it to be shipped to the UK but I don't mind paying the postage on that. Game complete with manual would be nice too. Thanks!

Not to rain on your parade but, from one who shops from the US a lot: You're aware shipping takes 2-5 weeks, right?

Will look, and noted regarding labels. One thing, it looks like DWVII would be about $55... looking on ebay most complete titles are going for $45. Just want to make sure you're okay with the price difference. In fact, this one went by quietly just recently: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dragon-Warrior-VII-PlayStation-2001-2-Discs-and-instruction-manual-/181456000582?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item2a3f9ed646

Shipping time might be tight, but if you're willing to pay for expedited that'll usually get it there within 1 - 2 weeks depending on customs.

Will look. On more than one occasion I did notice the Troll game and Mr. Nutz. With luck those are still there.

That's fine! It would still work out cheaper buying it through you. All of the shipping costs on ebay are like $30 and I'm not paying that much.

Looked it up online; $25 priority mail, which is guaranteed within 10 days, or $15 for first class which is probably like Warepire said 2 - 5 weeks.

I'll keep an eye out for it.

Sorry Omni, no luck. There SNES collection is really small right now. It looks pretty well picked clean.

Chrno, no luck either, but I just received a copy of the game if you really need one. It's in pretty good condition. I bought it for $20. PM me about it if you'd like.

ConHuevos and DanE: I'll PM you about the games I picked up for you once I sort out the prices for each and test the games to make sure they work. Let me know if you'd like pictures.
