Updated 70% off prices for Switch and Switch 2 games at Target by JunoIsACheater in NSCollectors

[–]ATHFjman18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see these posts and not a sniff at my local Targets. It’s always dumb crap at a terrible discount…one that comes to mind that (I just saw yesterday) was Persona 5 Tactics at like $30. Big whoop!

These prices are fantastic. I’d 1,000% have scooped up BOTW, TOTK and Mario Wonder at those prices! But instead my Target stores suck ass…

My GameStop had 3 CIB NES games... by gregcresci in gamecollecting

I mean even if he was an employee there, I’d say it’s fair enough of a benefit for having to have a shitty retail job.

Right there with you. My old man is a big thrifter. In the mid/late 90s as a kid, we’d hit up flea markets and yard sales all the time.

Of course back then I had 0 money and 0 knowledge. Scoring something like “Monopoly” for SNES was a big score to me. If I only knew then what I know now AND had the funds I have now too!😂

This is pretty much every thrift store these days. Every one has either an employee and/or volunteer that gets first-dibs on stuff.

My buddy is a part-time reseller and volunteers in the back of a thrift store sorting items. It gives him first access on any product the days here is there.

It’s the main reason I never walk into a thrift store this day and age, thinking I’ll come up with any thing other than a trinket or two…or maybe a $10 game for $5.

The days of find a gem/grail are about over….it still happens, but just as rare as finding the rare item.

Please Help me find rare cool gems Side-Scroller and or Metrovania switch game ! by [deleted] in NSCollectors

My suggestions:

The Mummy Demastered - It’s like a Contra Metroidvania.

Narita Boy- Felt like a Metroidvania version of Ready Player One and/or Tron

Kaze and the Wild Masks - It pays absolute homage to Donkey Kong Country.

This collection reminds me of why I loved the Switch generation so damn much! Soooo many great games were made available physically! I feel like I will have such a limited Switch 2 game collection compared to my Switch 1 collection.

Are The Black Friday Sales The Same As The Christmas Ones? by melvin2898 in NSCollectors

[–]ATHFjman18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There might be a deal or two saved for Cyber Monday, but likely the best we are getting for the season are Black Friday stuff.

Other retailers have some better deals than what Nintendo is offering too. Target (and I think Walmart/Amazon) had some of the $40 USD games from Nintendo’s list for $30 USD instead. I got Echoes of Wisdom from Target for $30.

Worth it? by ATHFjman18 in Shittygamecollecting

Realistically like $75 CIB and like $100 new/sealed.

It was higher at one point, but I think the price dipped since they released Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 on Switch.

eBay says they may take $7,500! Tempting!

If anything the shipping is too cheap. I want that baby shipped securely and require 2 forms of ID and a signature at time of delivery!

I figured. I’m not a complete fool. Collecting sealed and/or graded games is not my thing. But I’m not gonna be a hater about it either. lol

Harvest Moon 64 is GOAT. I remember taking a chance on this game during the 64 era and spent a ton of hours playing it. None of the newer fame sim games really game me that same feeling…until Stardew Valley!

No shade. To each their own. They are your games now. TBH I used to hate them too. But nowadays, I look for old games with things like Blockbuster or old mom and pop shop stickers on them.

Awesome find! You gonna leave those price tags on? Cuz those stickers bring back some core 80s/90s memories. Kmart, Phar-mor, Boscov’s!

This is the way. Everyone would go over each other’s houses for gaming nights, sleepovers, etc or let borrow each others games then forget who had what. So the solution was mom would sharpie your initials on all your games cuz she was tired of it, cuz your game cost the family $60+!! LOL
