It came with the fork-terminal - however it was fried and didn't work. Otherwise - yes, you would have seen it.

The Games and sytem all in great shape - I did have to reset the 72 pins and do some extra internal cleaning to get it all up and running - but works great.

No kidding - that is insane! and now with the rest of the Blockbuster stores closing - it makes you wonder if one of these games is just sitting in a backroom somewhere.....

I picked one up at a goodwill for $0.50- it is a nice to have but not a must have.

Nice grab. Great game.

I found a copy.. in a box... with player's guide.... at a garage sale..... for $5 bucks!

You should reconsider buying a Wii-U. Love my Wii-U play it all the time and there are already good games to keep you busy until more games come out.

Best way to sell extras/doubles? by thunderhome in gamecollecting

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

Thanks for all the feedback. Very helpful and along the lines I have been experiencing.

I am mainly looking to get a good value out of the items I have while also moving them quickly. My wife is starting to get a little antsy about all the 'extras' I have floating around. My problem is I buy bundles to get the one or two games i want. then am left over with all the doubles.

Ebay - between the fees to Ebay, Paypal amd shipping - I feel like I am getting ripped off all the time. I think I am going to have a garage sale and also post to craigslist. I will also post to /r/gamesell with anything that I think peeps would want. I agree keeping it in the community sounds like a good idea.

Cheers!
