Ok I kinda figured after the last one leaving a slightly bigger gap between posts would probably be better, so it's been about a month now so time to share what's been showing up
There has been ap few good finds, after finally fixing a few game gears up I have been picking up quite a few game gear games as they are always super dirt cheap, what other system can you find decent boxed games for a few quid, I guess the fact 90%of game gears are dead might lower demand combined with not having Nintendo tax the game gear is a decent system to collect for if money is tight
Then we have the master system, another system that is surprisingly cheap to collect for, this one happened to have sonic built in rather than the usual Alex the kid.but yeah anyone looking to collect who hasn't been bitten by the Nintendo bug, Sega systems are so much easier and cheaper to collect for it feels almost nice not bracing for impact when asking/checking prices for sega stuff
Another thing I ended up buying a few games for was the 3do, with me having a bit of clearout to streamline my collection I realised I had a nice boxed 3do with no games, so getting in touch with a friend I picked up a handful so it's a little bundle if/when I do eventually end up selling it
Next up we all the Nintendo stuff,with these things being harder to find due to more people hunting for them I just lump all Nintendo stuff together
With one of my longterm goals being to get a full snes set I'm always happy to find a snes game at a reasonable price especially if it's one of the more pricey titles and in nice condition to boot, same with any boxed nes game, while nes isn't where my heart is, I do hold a fondness for it and like getting hold of them when I can, and I finally married the nice Pokemon ruby box I have been hanging onto with a cart I picked up for a pound, so I got a mint copy for £1 As I was given the box for free because the game was missing, and again a nice cheap sealed game is something to be snapped up if/when possible, funny enough I also got a box for Mario vs donkey Kong at the same time as the ruby box, but still don't have a loose cart to go in it
And last but not least making a last minute addition a sealed player's choice Luigi's mansion, I do secretly try to avoid getting too many sealed games as that's a very expensive side to collecting that I have no desire to get hooked on, boxed snes games is bad enough,but if something comes my way, it's cheap and a noteworthy title then I am obliged and tbh Luigi's mansion is a game I really like so I liked the idea of having a sealed copy of it
And that's it pretty much, hope you enjoyed the slightly more long winded blog post this time about, idk if people prefer more frequent small posts or if monthly big posts are better, opinions welcome
