Proxy old game buyer

Waiting hurts my soul...

Do they have import titles? From my experience, there are quite a few stores that specialize in older consoles in about every major city I've lived near. How are the prices compared to say ebay?

I don't know about imports it's possible if someone wanted to trade one in but I doubt they go looking for them. As for the prices I'm not sure about that either lol; if you are curious just post a couple games you are curious about (and make sure to note that you are just curious so I don't buy them) and I'll see if I can get prices for you.

I don't know how prevalent these types of game stores are so I figured I'd make the offer. If it turns out no one really needs the service I won't do it but I figure there are probably a few people out there that are having trouble finding someone with a particular old title and it couldn't hurt to have me see if the store has it.

Next time you go then, I'm curious about the following:

King's Field (PlayStation)
King's Field II (PlayStation)
Magic The Gathering: Battlemage (PlayStation)
Valkyrie Profile (PlayStation)

Dragon View (SNES)
Paladin's Quest (SNES)

Albert Odyssey: Legend of Eldean (SEGA Saturn)

Lucienne's Quest (3DO)

Beyond Shadowgate (TurboCD)

Towers II (Jaguar)

3DO System
TurboDuo System
Jaguar System

No rush on these, just whenever you stop by that place next would be cool. Thanks! This should give me a good idea if they have good prices.

VERY VERY interested in the games I asked about. Thanks for the effort.

Some good prices, but why is King's Field a 'maybe'?

Computer said they had one but he only found one of the two when he looked.

Should I call occasionally and try and get them?

If you can get Magic The Gathering: Battlemage for 10 or less, then pick it up please. If you do, then I'll take the King's Field games for those prices as well.

I'm guessing the double dashes are games they've never seen before.

2011-05-04 09:55:15 pm

Will do and you are correct the dashes weren't in their system.

They said they were going to have a website sometime in the near future with real time inventory so once that happens you will be able to look them up yourself and if you see one let me know and I can get it for you.

Anyway I'll call em every few days and see if they have battlemage.
