This could either be good or bad.

I saw a guy on Craigslist try to sell a normal NES with Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt and Mario 3 for $150.  :|

But I also got a brand new in box Genesis for $35 that I can tell was never used.  :)

I once saw a guy try to sell a copy of FF7 for $300 for he reluctantly lowered it down to $150 and refused to lower it any lower.

I also saw Spyro 3 for 15$
And a Playstation for 10$ at the same store.

So I bought it. :P

Oh yea, I saw some cool stuff at Anime Weekend Atlanta in September (I just remembered now).
Dreamcast for 100 bucks, but no real good games (only JGR for fifteen bucks), so I didn't want it
Sega Saturn for 70 bucks, but the onlny game for it was Sonic R (which I've played already, not to mention I don't care for the Saturn).
Oh, the most interesting thing I saw was a JAPANESE SUPER METROID for the Super Famicom for thirty bucks...it was freakin sweet, but the SNES is region locked, so it wouldn't work on my SNES so I passed it up...

SNES isn't region locked, the cartridges are physically different, but the software is the same.

All that prevents a Japanese game from working in an American SNES is two blocks in the cartridge slot that can be removed. You might be able to use a SNES Game Genie, but don't quote me on that. I slso found a site where they have it for $9.

Oh, and I passed up a CD-i today for $8 because I didn't have any money and that the thing must weigh as much as two or three PS3s.  :D

The fact that Conker's Bad Fur Day still costs, at the very least, the same as most new games.

Loose, I see it around here on occasion for around $20. Pretty good for a game that had a small print run. Boxed however, it goes into around $60-$70 territory, and for some reason when factory sealed ones go up for sale, they usually go for about $100-$120.

I can never find it around here.  I'd buy it used without a box for 20 bucks so long as it worked.

N64 games are common around here, so are PS1 games. My town seems to have been split 50/50 on PS1/N64 ownership.

The only thing is, you can go into a store and buy rare N64 games, but rare PS1 games, forget about it.

Isn't there an adapter to fit PAL and Famicom cartridges into an American SNES?
