So, the auction purchase arrived today.
(if anybody missed it: https://www.pcenginefx.com/forums/index.php?topic=16161.0)
Unfortunately, I'm pissed. I had conversed with the seller prior to my BIN purchase and asked him three things:
My Q.: Can you describe the condition of the discs a bit?
His Answer: All discs are like new
Actual Answer: LIE! The discs are not terrible (a few are pretty surface scratched), but FAR from "Like New" by anybody's standards. They all play fine and luckily DEII is probably the best of the lot. (phew)
My Q.: Since you only show the spines, do all the games have manuals?
His Answer: Yes, all manuals are there except Darkwing Duck (which picture does reflect)
Actual Answer: LIE! There are 5 manuals missing (Air Zonk, Vasteel, Drangons Curse, and Hit the Ice). So the picture shows manuals for AZ, and HtI, BUT, it's only the font cover, NOT the entire manual. Most of the other manuals are a condition 6 at best (mostly the covers are beat up, but contents seem better). I was pissed that Dragons Curse didn't have the manual as that was one game I needed and wanted in good shape.
My Q.: Does Vasteel have the map?
His Answer: No.
Actual Answer: TRUTH! No map. (and no manual either, which he failed to mention. see above.)
Other negatives about this experience...
1. One of the duo pads doesn't work
2. The working one seems to have some rust or something on the pins
3. About half the jewel case covers needed to be tossed due to broken hinges, cracks, just plain nasty, etc.
4. Three manuals have codes/cheats cut out of magazines and GLUED to back covers (Dungeon Explorer, TV Football, WC Baseball)
Positives...
1. DEII is best in the lot
2. Games are in good shape, probably Madden and Exile are the worst discs, and they aren't that bad.
3. DUO works fine and file cabinet seems to save. Console is surprisingly clean, considering some of these manuals and cases have been un-cared for.
4. Spines are all good for the most part.
5. These games will now get the proper care/love they deserve.
Now, on to the good stuff. Here are the dupes I am willing to sell.
Please read carefully...
* All games are shipped FREE to USA 48 (so keep that in mind when you look at price)
* Neighbors to the north (Americas Hat, Canada) add $6
* Consider these PLAYERS COPIES, again, they are in ok shape, but if you are a gem mint kind of collector, then move along, nothing to see here
* The games pictured with no jewel cover will have one when I ship it
* Pics upon request
* Paypal Gift payments only
* PM me any questions, y'all know where to find me
* I won't even get into how much shit I have given away on this forum for free, so yes, I'm trusted
* Ys III may seem high priced, but I got a guy locally that wants it. He has some stuff I wanted to trade for, but f*ck it, you guys are more important, so you get first crack.
I am only accepting PM's for 3 days on these. Gotta Move 'Em. I am locking this thread on Thursday evening or Friday morning (If I drink Thursday night).

all commitments have been paid for. list is up to date

Its too bad shipping two directions would cost more than a local resurface, I've got a resurfacer that works wonders.

OP still waiting to hear back on the remaining games, lemme know when you can! Hoping i at least catch Zonk & Bloody Wolf, haha.

Wish I'd seen this thread earlier. A few games I'm looking for are there with very reasonable prices! C'est la vie.
-
Fabulous prices! I feel like its 2011 again!
-
We are getting pummeled with snow right now. Everything will ship tomorrow with tracking.
Only a few games left! BUY 'EM!
-
Prices total $100 currently.
$85 shipped for what's left.
-
Galam got a good deal and passed on the bounty. Good for you man!
-
thanks everyone.
everything shipped today.
I appreciate the kind words and prompt payments.
-
Just checking in on this. Is anybody still waiting for their stuff to arrive? I have tracking numbers for all the packages, but it would have taken forever to sort the Payments and zip codes to PM everybody their own tracking.
I hope all are happy.
After all was said and done, I ended up with the 12 games I needed (including DEII) for about $110.
I think we all won here.
