The Official "Is it worth getting?" thread

[quote name='Potatoeman']There's a guy advertising a MIB Powerglove for $60, after he couldnt sell it for 120. Im thinking of getting it, if for nothing else than to have one.

Think I should?[/QUOTE]

I loved my Powerglove when I was a kid... It was totally useless as a controller, but it was really fun to play with!
Then my dog ate it.:cry:
 
There's a shop near me selling a Magnavox Odyssey w/ all cables, 2 controllers, and 8 sealed games for $70, but I dont really know how to price those things.. doesnt seem the sealed games are worth as much as I thought, anyone have some input?

Sorry for double posting, I have another find that im not sure I should get.

I actually called him and he said if I buy more than 4 games, take $5 off each listed price, if I buy past 7, take $7 off each listed price. Everything is at least mint, he sent me additional pictures via email of the ps1 games, many of them are Greatest hits. I told him to hold them for me until wednesday, anything jump out at you guys? They're all pretty much ebay priced, I know, but think I should jump on any?

Unless there is a game you're itching for, or a game that you haven't been able to find in a long time/is rare in your area, I wouldn't really go for any of these.
 
@ Potatoeman I'd at least take a look because you might be able to knock down the guy $10 each on the spot. You might be able to get yourself a good deal on Dino Crisis 2, Mega Man Legends, Front Mission 3, the Parasite Eves, etc. FF Anthology and Chronicles might be worthwhile too if they're Black Label. Also if you're patient you might be able to get $50 for a Minty FF7 on Amazon.

You can get more than that on eBay. I sold my last one (which wasn't even mint) for $60. A mint black label copy (with that mentioned in the title, and international shipping available) could probably get $70 on eBay.
 
Ok, kinda bumping this topic a bit but it seemed like a good place to ask. I was at Salvation Army today and I saw a Miracle Piano Teaching System for NES. I took some pics with my phone.

Looks like the keyboard, the adapter to plug it into the NES controller slot (not in the picture but it was there), the AC adapter, the cartridge + sleeve, some kind of overlay for the keyboard, and some other thing (far right in the 2nd picture) - plus the styrofoam.

Their asking price was $75. I didn't get it but I'm wondering if I should have. It wouldn't be to sell, I'd be keeping it. Is it worth going back for?

This one complete with everything sold for $200

ff7, parasite eve, suikoden, kingdom hearts, xenosaga, ps2 game console missing power cable(its prob the phat one)
i think hes selling it to me for 40, but since i asked him to show me a pic of the ps2 turned on hes willing to go to 30 for everything listed and more

not sure if the ps2 works, he said there was problems with the controller so sounds kind of sketchy

worth it?
 
My fat 360 plus 120GB HD for a 4gb 360 Slim (Mine is pretty old.. replaced the HD, it's from the Pro 20gb pack)

Can't decide if losing 116gb of HD space is worth that Wifi connection :(

Sorry for the late response but you can make your money back by selling Suikoden alone so it's definitely worth it. Also, PS2's now are a dime a dozen on craigslist for cheap!

If you feel a RROD is waiting to happen on your 360, by all means go for it.
