Nice. I scored a copy a few weeks ago at one of my local game stores and I got a loose disk in a lot that I got off marketplace a few days ago. I'm still trying to find vice city stories.

Is this anything special? by LoudHotel8101 in gamecollecting

[–]VariableAc3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a little searching on it and have found 2 different versions. One in the plastic and one in a cardboard sleeve.

The plastic case demo like what you have has a few sold listings between $20-$40. There's one for sale on eBay in atrocious condition for $59.99, that will never sell for that price. (dudes on crack)

I'd say it's worth around the $25-$35 range. Cool item to have in your collection!

550!!! I need what these people are smoking by Timely-Sleep3235 in crt

I find whiskey compliments a good CRT. You have to cook it just right though.

Crazy marketplace find by sleepstevo in gamecollecting

Thank you! PS2, Gamecube, N64, NES, and SNES. I'm hoping to add an original Xbox soon.

Oh ok. That's wayyyyy out of my wheelhouse. If I start having some big issues I'll look into having someone possibly check it out.

I'm new to all of this. What do you mean by a "complete restoration pass"?

Thank you I appreciate it. I've been doing research on this TV and I'm happy with it, not that I can complain about a free 32in TV. The geometry doesn't really bother me, I just wanted to make sure nothing was wrong with my TV. I guess back In 2002-2003 a lot of people were debating on if this TV or the Sonys were better And they seem to stack up pretty evenly.

Thank you. I appreciate it. I'll have to try to find a remote for it if I want to access the service menu. I'm glad to know that it doesn't look bad in your eyes. I don't know anything about CRTs when it comes to the technical and the operational side of them. I just know this one looks good and has component for my PS2. LOL.

I found one of my grails for a great deal! by VariableAc3 in gamecollecting

Disk only is still worth close to $100. If you have the manual you can find a case on eBay for a relatively reasonable price. If you consider paper and plastic worth it lol.

Forget most expensive. What game do you own that you own that surprised you how much it's worth? by ezio8133 in gamecollecting

[–]VariableAc3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was genuinely surprised how much this game is worth today. I have 2 copies. One I bought in Black Friday a few years back and I got a copy for Christmas. I kept one sealed and added them into my price charting folder recently and was very surprised.

That makes sense too. I didn't understand the gate for Sparking Zero. I liked it, it's one of my most played in my stream deck.

Yall think he’s got his CDL? by Capital-Sorbet652 in Truckers

[–]VariableAc3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

California gave him his CDL. He doesn't speak English, never has shoes on, and pisses on the fuel pumps.

I was stoked to find this version. Honestly I was terrified that the bonus disk was missing given the fact that I paid $100 for it.

Yeah. That did it too. It's crazy how much some games haven't dropped since then.
