    Yesterday i ve brought back 3 gradius soundtrack that i ve once exchanged them plus a few games for a gamecube, they are gradius iv fukkatsu, midi power pro7 and gradius remixes, killer cuts (an killer instinct soundtrack) and turok 2 for R$140 (around 80 dollars)

    i don´t know the price for these gradius soundtrack on internet, but when i find one soundtrack of the series they cost around 35 dollars or british pounds, and killer cuts is around 30 dollars, so i think it was a great deal.

    I scored a Judge Dredd cabinet for free :thumbsup: Apparently it was the machine Gremlin gave to the lead developer when it was released.

    So looking for arcade machines for the game store I'm helping my friend open we found a Mario Bros. in Omaha, Nebraska that is in really nice condition (from the pictures) It seems a lot of times good condition cabs go for $600-800. Well this guy was only asking $350. That already sounds like an awesome deal right? Well we contact him and he says there's an NBA Jam 4-player near Kansas City, and if he gives us the money to pick it up for him and bring it to him in Omaha, since he has a full time job and 2 kids that keep him busy, he'll give us the Mario Bros. for free!

    So tomorrow me and my friend have 10-11 hours of driving to do!

    We had it estimated out to around $150, but unfortunately looks like that deal isn't happening. A couple hours after I posted my friend sent me a txt message that the guy sold the NBA Jam to someone else even though he knew we planned on coming to pick it up. So now we're deciding if we want to get the Mario Bros or not. since the cab is $350 and then it's about $80-90 for gas.

    My favourite purchases or miracles

    Bought Switchblade for the Amstrad Gx - guy said it was a pc game to which I replied 'On a cartridge?' - anyhow paid 50p and 12 days later on ebay it sold just over £83.00. Tried to research it but maybe the bonus cart I found in the box was the main selling point (skeet shoot - a trojan light gun game) or maybe i was lucky to have a few people really wanting it. I've never figured it out

    Guy at a bootsale selling a suitcase full of sega stuff,didnt get to examine it fully just kinda jumped in feet first.Big suitcase crammed full for £15.get home and find a mint Streets of Rage 3 and F1 blue box edition amongst the fairly standard other titles. Re-sold most of the contents apart from the mega cd and ms converter 2 (and the two main games).

    13 boxes of retro stock from a trader at local markets for £30 delivered. Lots of spectrum games including Codemasters cd pack,Sabre Wulf and Alien 8 in black boxes,a sealed Master system control stick and lots of consoles and a few ok md titles to top up my collection. It was like christmas going through the boxes (i only had a cursory glance at the market) seeing the many items stack up in front of me - sold lots on and butchered/modded a md2 and mcd into a custom case but basically rescued them from a fate worse than certain council amenity dumping.


    So... not mega miracles or huge profit stories but my favourite purchases over the last few years.

    Nice. I didn't know that was what the red Wii was about.

    Splatterhouse (PS3) for 16.90$. It's not as bad as people say, at least it was pretty fun for me.
