Title: Anyone wanna do a weird trade for a TwinBee?
Post by: gex on March 14, 2017, 02:45:32 PM
So unlike the title suggest, I recently obtained a copy of TwinBee through a buddy. But when I finally had the chance to sort through my mail, I saw that the game is factory sealed still.
I don't have ANY appreciation for sealed stuff, but some people do I guess? Anyways though, I just want a playable copy for myself. I'll do a straight trade +postage with anyone for a CIC copy of Twin Bee in good condition.
I know it's not a big deal, if nobody cares i'll just open it whenever i'm playing PCE next. But if someone would appreciate the cellophane more than me, shoot me a message.

I'll trade you a loose HuCard for it. It's a screaming deal.

I am confused.
Playable copy?
Bought unaware it was sealed.
Tells me a open or sealed copy are of equal value.
With that said what did you pay for it? Can't really offer a trade if we don't know what you paid for it. Run the risk of offering you a $5 trade game for something you might have spent $20.
Also what are you looking in trade?

Open that f*cker, and at least make an interesting video while doing so...

When i said "I want a playable copy for myself" I meant that I want an opened copy of TwinBee so I can play it. I don't need it sealed. My sealed copy came from a Nintendo collector who I traded with, he doesn't know PCE that well so I got my stuff at awesome value.
I'm only doing this incase someone likes sealed PCE (for whatever reason). And wants to trade their opened TwinBee for my sealed one. There's literally no benefit to me

Like everyone else is saying, open the game! Besides, it comes with an awesome sticker sheet with characters from the game that you most likely won't find if you obtain a used copy of the game.

+1 on freeing it from its suffocating prison.
People that collect sealed games probably aren't people you want to deal with anyway. More often than not, they're scumbags.

I'm tempted, but it's a really good game, and I think I'd just end up opening it myself :/

The thing is, I could trade you my CIC copy for this sealed one, but when it got to my house I would just open it. I've had the pleasure of unsealing a couple of Turbo games in the last couple of years, and would love to do it again.
My point is, you should open that game.

OK
I finally managed my time for a little bit of gaming this weekend. Remembering TwinBee was still sealed, I get out my iPhone and start recording myself opening it.
Only after fully opening it, i realized THE RECORDING STOPPED BECAUSE I RAN OUT OF STORAGE :evil:
But never the less, it's still opened. And holy cow is this stuff minty, i'm used to getting jewel cases pretty scratched up. So this was nice to see.
Here's some pics, I know there's just an OCEAN of disappointment. But the game has been saved from death by VGA.
