Goodwill is out, Criag's list in IN!


















$40....Thats right....$40!!!!!!!!

Today may be the best day of my life! Some kid had an add that just said " Box of vintage games, $40. I emailed him as soon as I saw it asking what games were in said box. He responded that he didn't have time to look but there were over 30 games and a NES and SNES. I figured that no matter if it were 30 copies of Drakken It'd still be great becasue my SNES shit the bed years age and I've been playing on a FC Twin. I got to his house, forked over the $40 and ran. I drove down the road to my office and started to tear the box apart . When I saw FFIII in nearly shit, when I saw Earthbound I dry fucked a pile of cartridges.

I have alot of NES/SNES doubles that I'd be willing to offer up to Retroforce GO! Contest's. I'll whip up a list of my doubles soon.

Also, hey everyone, I don't blog here much but have been a member for some time.

...I want to kill you right now. I hope you know that.



Actually, none of this really matters. Because you're not a true MGS fan.

seltzermx's Destructoid Blog
I think Chad hasn't commented because his head just asploded.
Dyson's Destructoid Blog
O_o

I tip my hat to you, sir. Well played! I'm INSANELY jealous of your awesome find! Earthbound, seriously? Unbelievable.
Koholint's Destructoid Blog
If only that guy knew. He could probably get away with selling Earthbound alone for that amount.
MechaMonkey's Destructoid Blog
How... how did you do that?
Spartacus's Destructoid Blog
I'll pay you $50 for all that...
niacin's Destructoid Blog
.... jealousy overpowering .... arghhh must punch walls ....
thelowestpartisfree's Destructoid Blog
I can hardly believe it myself, I'm wait for the kid to call me and say he was just joking and that he wants the shit back. I never have luck like this.

Just finished a sick round of Karnov!
Kinji's Destructoid Blog
I'm so jealous...
Looks like you're gonna have a great summer.
F Whipple's Destructoid Blog
i hate you so much right now
Chad Concelmo's Destructoid Blog

That is the best purchase in the history of purchases (yeah, I'm talking to you, Louisiana!). :) :) :)
NihonTiger90's Destructoid Blog
You lucky bastard. :p
The Bez's Destructoid Blog
FUCK YOU
thelowestpartisfree's Destructoid Blog
I deserve all the hate. But atleast I will play ALL of these and not sell them on ebay to some poor cunt.

But I totally want to donate some of my better doubles to a retroforce contest. Maybe give them to ome one who's never had the chance to play them. I have two copies of Super Metroid, it'd be a CRIME to keep them both.
SnakeDude4Life's Destructoid Blog
Good haul.

(I fucking hate the shit out of you!!!)

Can't read what's in the parenthesis can you?
Cataract's Destructoid Blog
Good. Fucking. Job.

But I got Earthbound for free, so I still feel accomplished.


Sucks I don't have an SNES, doesn't it?
MatCD's Destructoid Blog
epic purchase
Guagloves's Destructoid Blog
EPIC. I fucking love Craigslist.
Fleet3000's Destructoid Blog
you sonovabitch.

bahss's Destructoid Blog
God. Damn. Very very nice. Can I come over?! ^-^
PsychoSoldier's Destructoid Blog
WOW just wow, I'll gladly take that extra Athena game off your hands XD.
kawitchate's Destructoid Blog
lol Louisiana Purchase
Wexx's Destructoid Blog
Wow. Luckyyyyyyyyy. That could could've made upwards of 100 dollars based on earthbound and the Square games alone.

*super smash bros. announcer voice* CONGRATULATIONS!
Professor Pew's Destructoid Blog
Hahaha Louisiana purchase. I <3 you Chad.

I know it's been said before: but goddamn what a great deal.
A New Challenger's Destructoid Blog
I didn't think* finding Super Street Fighter II Turbo for the Dreamcast for $10 could be beaten but good sir I have been proven wrong.


*not really.
Namakubi's Destructoid Blog
You know that if these weren't his they were his older brother's who's off at college or in the military, and he's gonna be PISSED about what happened to all of his games.

The mere fact that Earthbound was in there means I envy you.
Samit Sarkar's Destructoid Blog
*speechless*
Rifter01's Destructoid Blog
Wow. Just in time for summer gaming!
Justice's Destructoid Blog
INCREDIBLE!
thelowestpartisfree's Destructoid Blog
@NAMAKUBI

Thats what I'm thinking. He was kind of a sport-o, so I be these were his nerdy older brothers and he wanted to get some cash. I'm going to get hunted down and killed, aren't I?

@BRECKSHER
Yes, come on over. I had a 8 hour gaming fit yesterday with my friend but I need MOAR!!!!

@PSYCHOSOLDIER
Like I said, I'm going to try to donate the extras for a contest on Destructoid/Retroforce. But If they don't want them, I'll keep you in mind

And everyone else, thank for the kudos/hates.
digtastik's Destructoid Blog
Good job. I'm definitely a Craig's list fan. One man's trash.
smurfee mcgee's Destructoid Blog
wow. way to hit the jackpot. You've got quite a treasure trove there.
It's awesome when something likr that happens. I think everyone (including myself) is really fucking jealous.
congrats to you, sir!
Dek's Destructoid Blog
Wow, that is truly amazing. Now I'm really gonna be on the lookout for some amazing deals like this.

I've beat Faxanadu in one (long) sitting. I've never played Halo. As a child, I nick named the second gun upgrade in Stinger "Potty Pot Shot" as the bullets are round and reminded me of toilet bowls. I believe in video game violence, a friend knocked me out cold at age 12, we we're practicing our Dragon Punch's. I've rented Brittany's Dance Beat....twice. Zelda 2 is amazing, and so is Simon's Quest.
