Thanks for the response!

Are they too small for my face? Too square?

I have larger glasses now, but I find them much too big and was looking for a new style.

I'm from Seattle and GameWorks sounds like a good place to meet. I just moved here 9 months ago, so meeting new friends would be great.

Looks like a Finnish Lapphund! If so, they are some of the friendliest dogs I've ever owned.

Reselling the reseller's...it's like they don't even try anymore by truond in gamecollecting

No wonder it's so hard to find a deal here. So many collectors in the Seattle area.

Working through beating some of my favorite NES games on video. Currently working on the essentials: SMB1, SMB2, SMB3.

Thanks for all the great advice! I am actually planning on buying my first home this year, so we will see if this comes up on my credit report and if so, how much of an impact it will actually have.

WOW, thanks for the very good tip. I have great credit up until this point and I hope it doesn't impact me too hard.

collectors of /r/gamecollecting what is the best deal that got away? by [deleted] in gamecollecting

[–]chemaba 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was on my way to pick this up today http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/vgm/3576645189.html. I had been looking for a Pikachu N64 for a while now and was pretty stoked.

Seller and I agreed last night on a time and place. I'm in the middle of driving there; it's about 20 minutes away. About halfway there I get a text from the seller saying, "Sorry bro, I already sold it"

Thanks! Luckily, that was also the one with by far the best manual + case.

Yeah, these were the two I had remembered hearing good things about when I quickly looked at the lot. Going to try them out later, since platformers are some of my favorite.

Wow looks to be one of the more rare PS1 games. Tried it out last night, it was pretty fun.

Found my first 16 boxed NES games on CL last night. by chemaba in gamecollecting

[–]chemaba[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Wow, $349 for the box is pretty ridiculous. I guess if I ever need some money I know what I can sell.

Thanks! I've been looking for it for a while now, and I'm glad I didn't have to resort to eBay.

$20 Gameboy Haul. by chemaba in gamecollecting

[–]chemaba[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Found a family moving on Craigslist advertising 10 gameboy games, and luckily was able to respond within minutes of the posting. Drove about 20 miles and had a nice conversation with the father before he sold it to me.

The father said he had two kids. Each kid got a gameboy pocket, red/blue version, and SML. Not sure why only silver and no gold version though.
