I'm at what i think is the final bowser in mario 3d world and got a little bored so tried bowser's fury which is lots of fun. hoping to galvanize the gamer sense and power my way through both in the next week or two and then see if I can sty focused on FF7 Remake. Gaming still not coming easy but there are some stess-killing rewards to an active fantasy life that comes with a controller.

Ni no Kuni on Switch. Fun! Slowly reveals itself as a Pokemon style game. Some nostalgia associated with that concept for me, as I liked Jade Cocoon way back when that came out for PS2.

Alright, I have a massive pile of PHYSICAL MEDIA, remember that? I'm tired of keeping it in a box over my closet. Any NYC ILXor gamers have any use for a 360, PS2, Wii and PS with something like 80 games? And does anyone need a gamecube?
― G.A.G.S. (Gophers Against Getting Stuffed) (forksclovetofu), Monday, 8 March 2021 23:39 (three years ago) link
sorry: does anyone need gamecube GAMES. I lost my cube some days back.
Have you noticed any cube-shaped holes that suddenly disappeared? Seems like it has to be around there somewhere
― Zach_TBD (Karl Malone), Monday, 8 March 2021 23:52 (three years ago) link
Forks as a collector of retro games I will pay you money to ship them to me in maryland
But also I have to point out that gamecube games in general can fetch a good sum on ebay, especially post-covid inflation. Many ps1 games too of course
― ✖, Tuesday, 9 March 2021 00:11 (three years ago) link
Like even the gamecube games you would not assume have any value at all could go for 20+
Throw your collection up on clist for a reasonable price and it'll be sold in minutes

I am wary about mail because our local post office is among the worst post offices in the country but i'm open to suggestions.
― G.A.G.S. (Gophers Against Getting Stuffed) (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 9 March 2021 00:25 (three years ago) link
and estimates as to what a "reasonable price" for that pile is? It probably represents like 3k lost cash to me; would be overjoyed to get back 500 tbh.
― G.A.G.S. (Gophers Against Getting Stuffed) (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 9 March 2021 00:28 (three years ago) link
I'm interested. I will webmail you when I figure out what I want out of that. Also, some of the stuff you have listed is worth crazy money. As much as I'd love to steal it from you, go look up what Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn is worth.
― Nhex, Tuesday, 9 March 2021 00:34 (three years ago) link
things that immediately stand out as valuable:Fire Emblem Radiant DawnXenosaga, but mainly Part III if you have itGamecube has been rocketing in price, check against this site https://www.pricecharting.com/console/gamecube

i will trade you a 0.078 ETH gif I made from 2009 (my rookie card) for radiant dawn
― Zach_TBD (Karl Malone), Tuesday, 9 March 2021 00:38 (three years ago) link
do you really have an ouya
do these games have their original box and manual? if so you could probably swing 500 on ebay just from the gamecube games, radiant dawn, persona 3 depending on which version it is
if i saw this collection on clist for 500 i'd consider it, which means someone else would scoop it up before i have a chance to email you about it. if you wanted to open up shop on ebay and sell them one by one you would make double that.
if you want to get rid of things i'd just look up the prices of everything on pricecharting, keep in mind the condition everything is in and if they're CIB, and putting them up on craigslist for like 75% of that. and lower the price a bit if no one bites. it's a good collection!
― ✖, Tuesday, 9 March 2021 00:43 (three years ago) link
keep in mind pricecharting is based on ebay prices and people expect to a discount from that if they're buying on craigslist

is this the ni no kuni metal box thing? if so, woof
― ✖, Tuesday, 9 March 2021 00:47 (three years ago) link
thanks, i was a """gamer""" fairly recentlyi really have an ouya! it's virtually unplayed. 80% of the games are original box and manual except for the garbage ones like Madden 16. I suppose I could rerummage for condition.The thing is that i really don't have the stomach or the patience to deal with mailing or listing; just mostly wanna dump the whole collection. I'm gonna have to move again soon and most of this has been in the closet for five years. probably time to let it go. Hit me off thread via ilxmail with contact info and maybe we can work something out?

oh i'm not trying to get you to sell them to me, i'm super cheap! and it would cost a ton for you to ship all of that. put it all up on craigslist, make some $$$, don't get craigslist murdered
or i will try to convince some NYC ilxor to start collecting retro games too, but then i will also have to cajole them into getting a proper CRT
― ✖, Tuesday, 9 March 2021 01:03 (three years ago) link

do a real inventory! or bring the stuff with you to the new place, then do it

sent you an ilxmail forks
option F is to keep your games, start collecting more, get yourself a proper CRT and component cables

― Canon in Deez (silby), Tuesday, 9 March 2021 02:08 (three years ago) link
all it takes is one look at a fifth or sixth generation game in its native 240p resolution to understand the tremendous value a 120-pound CRT provides any living space

― Canon in Deez (silby), Tuesday, 9 March 2021 02:15 (three years ago) link
i have an open source scan converter and cleanly scaled 240p games look pretty gorgeous thru it on an hdtv-- but the interlaced signal (most) ps2 games put out (but not prince of persia!) is far from crt-quality. (also the other day while i was playing final fantasy xii a gecko shit inside it and shorted it out. bounced back tho)
― difficult listening hour, Tuesday, 9 March 2021 02:18 (three years ago) link

Pricecharting is a little high because it's based on ebay which brings certain assumptions of quality (game is tested and working) . It also doesn't account for listings that tie shipping cost into the price tag for listings that want to say "free shipping," which drives prices up.
― ✖, Tuesday, 9 March 2021 18:35 (three years ago) link
Good points. Everything on that list should be working or at least it was the last time I touched it!
* I just hit up Evan with a hopefully reasonable price for all the wii/gamecube stuff (60% of market is reasonable, right?)* X, I'd like to hit you up to respond to your wish list but you didn't include your email in your ILX mail! Write back!* Lol i am definitely not getting a CRT. * Karl, I would be down to send you a care package if there's anything in the sony collection or non-nintendo elsewhere that might be happy making?* Leee if you want that Persona 3 (technically "Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 FES" but still CIB!) for $20 and shipping I could make that work? Drop me an email.* Stevie D, I would happily get you a PS3 with some games at a price that works for you if you could pick it up? I just don't wanna deal with my post office for anything more than a single disc in case.* thank you all for putting up with this nonsense, it's been helpful!* anybody else?

Okay, I have thought this through a bit more and I am going to pass after all, I prob won't be up in NYC for a while, and even if I was it'd be a pain to schlep it all home, and even if I did I still have like 20 or 30 games on my to-play list before I would get around to any of it. Thank you so much for the offer, though!
