[quote name='yoyo1316']Got this for $50
Everything works except for the NES (doesn't latch on the game)[/QUOTE]
Wow, is that ROB complete? If so, you got one hell of a deal.
Also, been fixing NES systems quite a bit as of late and have run into the latch problem a couple of times. This is the only place I've seen online that has the replacement part if you want to go that route, but I find that picking up a donor NES for parts from a yard sale is usually cheaper. Before you do, though, loosen the screws and see if it'll catch when you push down on it - sometimes they've just been displaced.

[quote name='yourlefthand']Any input on this?[/QUOTE]
I'd agree with doomstink. Jump on it if it's still available. You have enough quality titles to easily recoup costs (although I personally would prefer to pay $1 or less per title when buying in bulk) - this sounds like that bundle of 300 or so NES, SNES, and Genesis games I picked up a couple of years ago in South Central LA for $120 or $140, basically $.50 a game. It had a copy of Earthbound cart only mint that I re-sold for $100+ (cleared about $85-90 after fees and whatnot) - paid for roughly 75% of my costs.
At $510 for the bundle, you could try talking him down a little but I doubt he'll take less than $500. Depending on the condition of the complete Earthbound/box/guide, that alone could recoup you half of the cost.
EDIT: Sorry you missed out, yourlefthand. While true it would have been a significant amount of cash upfront, no doubt it was worth substantially more. That's why you have to strike fast, because so many others out there won't hesitate.

I have also started to repair NES systems (just because I have 15 or so laying around and I want to make them more reliable before I dump them) and I noticed if the front screws on the cartridge slot are too tight it will not stay down.
Question for jerry kun, Do you have a tool that works well on repairing pin connectors? I tried a tiny screw driver, but I am not happy with the results (and I would prefer not to buy new ones). I was thinking about precision tweezers like these

It's a decent deal. For what you said, sure you could do it! Sapphire goes for about 12-15 by itself and you get the DS and GBA sp to resell.

...wait, what? Security chip? I could see where disabling it would cause things to load more consistently, but only as a last resort. The blinking/flashing problem is caused by age and wear on the cartridge connectors - snipping the legs off chips and hoping it fixes something seems like a very bad idea. It's not going to make things worse, but still.
Recondition your cartridge connector before you attempt this - in my view, there's no sense in making unnecessary modifications.
Wow, that was long, I'd better spoiler tag it.

There's a decent article here on it - but after you've bent the cartridge connector pins forward, insert a game if you've got one to loosen the pins slightly, then fold a piece of sandpaper and (gently!) slide it in and out over the pins - this'll quickly remove the years of gunk that's built up on them. An emery board (for fingernails) works even better because it's about the same thickness as a cartridge board. After that, use an old toothbrush or some other scrub brush dipped in 70% or less isopropyl alcohol and scrub the rest of the gunk away. Let it dry completely before putting it back in - good rule of thumb is that if it still smells like alcohol, it's still wet.

I was just referencing the way to open the console to fix his cartridge slot problem. This video has a good way of showing what screws to remove.
But after fixing 5 of 6 NESes last week, I can tell you 90% of the time the problem is a dirty 72 pin, but if you have it open anyway, I would disable the chip. You will NEVER get the blinkies again. I would say bend/repair the 72 pin as a last resort. I have some loose as a goose 72 pins and they start up fine every time after disabling the chip and a good cleaning. The only console that isn't working properly is the one I jacked up the 72 pin connector by trying to rebend it.

First time this year actually getting anything from Craigslist. Saw an ad for an N64 with "plenty of games" (or something like that) for 25 so I sent an e-mail saying I'll take it and asked about a list. The guy ended up e-mailing me a list of 14 games and after some back and forth mentioned the 2 rumble paks (which weren't in the ad) and offered to add them in and make it 30 total. I didn't want to say I didn't want them or try and get them added in for the original price of 25 (for fear of nuking the deal) so I replied back saying I would meet him in the middle from his original asking price which he agreed on. When I meet up with the guy as luck would have it he had an extra copy of two games he didn't mention before hand that was in with the bundle.
There's a Sega Genesis and Sega CD with two games on CL for $40. It's a 60 mile drive (round-trip) to go check it out. I've wanted a Sega CD for ages...I just can't get myself to call. Should I offer $30? (Ad says both units work fine...I don't even care about the Genny.)
Picked this up this morning for $50. It needs a little cleaning up and a top bracket for the glass. Too bad I have no room in my house right now, so it's saying out in the shed.
I also picked this up last week for $275. My daughter is obsessed with these things and always wants to play them, so I figured this was a logical choice:
I'm currently in the process of converting it to stick control, since it's the old two button (back > right > drop) style. Unfortunately, after scouring the internet and making numerous phone calls, nobody anywhere has a service manual for it. But after much trial and error, I've figured out the wiring and board connectors and the DIP switches, for the most part. I still need to cut and control plate to fit the stick and order a custom drop button for it.

Yep. I tested it out before we loaded it in the truck. The only real problem is the gun calibration is occasionally spotty, but from what I've looked into, it shouldn't be a hard fix.

person had Mario Party 7, Super Smash Brothers Melee, Mario Superstar Baseball, Over the Hedge and Nfl Blitz 2003 for $15 with manuals and cases included.
Show up at the house today and the mother meets me at the door and hands me the stack of games, and then says "My son doesn't use this thing, so you can have this also" and hands me the gamecube and one controller as well. Unfortunately I don't think the mom knew which wires went with the system, cause she gave me one set of wires, but it definitely doesn't go to the gamecube

@ Denbo32 what ebay are you looking at. I don't see them for $60.
Here's my one CL find this week (so far...)
Black GC, no controller or cords
3 memory cards, all Nintendo brand
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Sonic DX Director's Cut
Sonic Heroes
NFL 2K3
Paid $20. Not the greatest CL find I've ever had, but I think the memory cards and Smash Bros. were worth it. Even though the guy had no controllers or cords, I actually have spares of all of them. Took them home, and they all worked with no trouble.
Made up partially for a pure garage saling weekend.

Actually, it's PS2, shovelware, and RPGs. The rare game is separate from the RPGs (tbh I don't know why people are willing to spend so much for it). To me, it seems like a steal, but it's inconvenient to have to flip and ship all the stuff.

My first big craigslist find - pretty happy with it, being a PSX collector, especially PSX launch stuff. All of this was $60.
I have about 30 of these longbox games. None of these are super hard to find but they are in very excellent condition. Already had MK3 and Ridge Racer but these are in better condition than the ones I had. Hoping to have a full longbox collection eventually. Some of them are very expensive though.
This is a launch or very close to launch PSX complete in box. Manuals and everything. The box is a bit beat up but everything else is like new. Very awesome to have from a "launch day collection" point of view. Finding these models complete is not easy. They also make excellent high quality CD players if you have a decent sound system because of the direct audio out and something about the audio chip that they put in the original launch PSX-1001 models.
This is by far the coolest though - this developers demo cd has tech demos for the playstation like the girl doing her makeup FMV, and the T-Rex one that were shown at trade shows. A real launch collectors peice - these fetch well over $100 on ebay when they're available.

I think that's exactly why they're valued so highly. Nobody kept them if they got them. I don't know if they were ever packaged with the system or if they were a pre-order incentive thing. I think this version was packaged with the system.
What's weird is the guy had the Not for Resale version of Ridge Racer but this was not the Ridge Racer pack-in box. Might have bought it used later.

there are actually two versions of it - one was packed in the system the other was a pre-order bonus.

Developer's demo disc was with the pre-order, developer's demo CD was with the ridge racer pack in. I think the pre-order one is harder to find.

I usually don't have much luck with craigslist, because most stuff is priced too high for my liking, and the rare good deal is usually snapped up before I get to it. However, I didn't do too bad with this little lot today...
Total paid: $20. Also advertised were Conker for Xbox and Zelda: Wind Waker for Gamecube, along with some other junk sports titles. I reply to the ad and tell the woman that I am interested in buying a few of the games (without saying which games, so as not to draw attention to any particular game and have her look it up online), and fish around for what price per game she is looking for. She says $10 each, but when we talk on the phone I ask if she can do better and she says "yes, I just want to clear them out." We meet at a local library and of course, she had sold Conker already to someone (or held it back, who knows). I open up the Windwaker Player's choice case to find Sonic Mega collection sitting where the Zelda disc should be, so that was a no-go. So that left me with what I picked up, as pictured. Offered $17 by telling her that I usually pick up games like this at sales/thrift stores for $3 each (which I felt was worth a try), and the guide would be a couple bucks. She bought my explanation and countered with an even $20, which I accepted. All were complete; Knights of the Old Republic was minty, as was Fable, so I'm putting those two in my collection. The rest were in solid condition for flipping. Glad I was able to pick up Fable because I passed on one at a yard sale for $3 a few weeks ago and then wished I had bought it. Too bad there was no game to go with the KOTOR II guide.... Overall a solid pickup for a Wednesday afternoon.
By the way, that GTA: San Andreas is 2nd edition, right? Since it has the M rating, and not A-O...anyone care to confirm this? Thanks.

Not a bad haul!
I found a Virtual Boy for $40. Was missing the eyeshield and a battery pack (he said he had an AC adapter but his "dog got a hold of it"), but the unit was nice and clean and the stand still had its clip (they are known to break easily, much like the VB itself). Going to keep an eye out for replacement pieces - unless anyone on CAG has any?

Damn, I would have sold you a complete one for $50 shipped.
