Hi guys! Speaking about retro purchases... I'm interested in purchasing a GBA SP, and I saw a deal near me and I'm really keen on it. The GBA is the red version (-001) and it's in a really good condition, being sold at 20€. What do you guys think about it?
Can’t type everything out so added a phote.
Initially got it for free but that felt like stealing, they didn’t accept more than €50 (went to their kids)
Includes a ps1, ps2, xbox, wii, FFVII, VIII, IX, X-2, XII, dark cloud, star ocean, abe’s odyssey, abe’s exodus, shadow of the collossus collectors edition, MGS1, 2, 3, twilight princess, mario kart wii, legacy of kain and much much more (total of 74 games)
just scored a refurbished taint waxer on ebay for 39.99
the description said "gently used"
well im about to fire this puppy up and go to town.
will post a video here once i get into the swing of it

As @ogo79 said, the SNS-RZ-USA is a prime giveaway that it's not a legit retail cart.
And yes, he is (usually) always right, and he is (almost) the sexiest gamer out there (not counting me) ;)
@MarcelRguez yeah where I live I could easily sell the whole haul for €3.000 with a bit of patience.
Not going to do it though, I’m only selling the consoles and accesories, mario kart and twilight princess since I already have those (going to trade them in for some ps4, ds and 3ds games including megaman ZX advent, kirby triple deluxe and ni non kuni 2)
Seeing your history in this forum topic, You activily collect games too right?
How much games do you own currently (and if it’s not too much to ask, how much per platform)
@MarcelRguez great collection. My biggest collection for a single console is ps2 with about 96 games followed by ps3 with 68 games.
I’m currently at about 300+ physical games boxed and around 350 physical games total (gba, gbc, gb, n64 and atari 2600 loose cartridges counted with them)
As for keeping track of games, I used darkadia for about 4 months but it isn’t that good. Now I’m using CLZ games for IOS which is really usefull, it let’s you scan barcodes and has every version of a game in it (pal version, us, platinum, player choice, greatest hits, deluxe, collectors. You name it they have it)
I use the trial version currently but I’m going to buy the full version at the end of the month (one time payment, €15, account can be used on IOS, android and pc)
If you’re serious about collecting CLZ seems to be the best option, even according to other more famous collectors on youtube and stuff. The have a version for games, for movies (dvd, blu-ray, video etc), for books, for cd’s and for records.
I love gamevaluenow.com used to use it all the time. best game price site in my opinion. however it hasn't been updating prices since mid December. I dunno why, hope it gets fixed, but its looking unlikely.
Here's to the collection: July 3, 2021
NSW 820
XBONE 693
XBOX 405
N64 COMPLETE
X360 201
NES 148
3DS 47
DS 29
AMIIBO 160
My final purchase before king’s day, on which I expect to have a huge haul (last year I got a KH chains of memory GBA SP, a ds lite, a gbc, tloz link’s awakening DX, oracle of seasons and more for €5 and also got a lot of ps2, ps3, gbc, gba and gb games)
With the money I got for trading in the wii motes and nunchucks from my ps1 haul last weekend I bought megaman ZX advent and sonic rush for the ds and bough shin megami tensei: devil survivor overclocked for the 3ds.
Visited my local retro game guy yesterday. Didnt purchase a whole lot mainly 2 PS2 memory cards and a Ranma 1/2 game for the Super Famicom. To be honest I picked the game out to test the HD SNES clone I got a few months ago to see how well Super Famicom games played on it. Of course being a fan of Ranma 1/2 helps as well.

Also got eye toy 2, eye toy sports, star wars bounty hunter, world poker, a quiz game and an eye toy camera for ps2 last sunday
And I got megaman zero collection in the mail yesterday (it was supposed to be delivered early last week)
I’m currently 5 games away from having 400 physical games (and having 360 boxed games if I don’t count my lose cartridges, funilly enough, none of those 360 games are actual xbox 360 games)
Latest one? That would be Aero Fighters 2 in ACA Neo Geo line. Physical, and if it counts as retro, Lego Batman 2 on Xbox 360 (I already had 1 and 3 -this one on Xbox One-).
I'm looking forward to see what weekly offers will be coming later today, but if nothing interests me then I'll probably buy another ACA game -those never go on sale and I have money on the eShop thanks to a code bought with a discount on eBay, so all the purchases are actually 40% cheaper because of that-, and the next in my line would be Samurai Shodown II.
If Shantae: Risky's Revenge on Wii U finally goes on sale (I missed it last time), then that will be my new retro purchase -if it counts, being actually a port- because I want to complete the saga.
Ordered Funky Fantasy, a bizzare-looking Japanese tactical RPG for Saturn.
Hope I can emu the game once getting the real copy, as I've heard the real hardware can be quite a pain these days.
I only heard of the game after Tomato released a Google-translated Final Fantasy IV translation he dubbed "Funky Fantasy IV" and I found out that title was actually used by a real game.
