I am massively thankful that Famicom World has that buy/sell/trade forum, it allows me (and everyone else) to sell stuff for a lot cheaper than I'd have to charge on Ebay just to break even.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681778110046124243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892786114932769023.post-66677064901067252312011-09-07T22:18:22.355+09:002011-09-07T22:18:22.355+09:00Glad it's going well :) I gave up selling my c...Glad it's going well :) I gave up selling my collection half way through as I kept getting ripped off on eBay (including by the site itself) but I need to finish the sale one day!RetroKingSimonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609689348601442117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892786114932769023.post-21816743880814485462011-09-07T18:57:12.698+09:002011-09-07T18:57:12.698+09:00LOL, I can related.

I've been using some of the proceeds of this sale to fulfill my lifelong dream of re-purchasing all the Star Wars action figures I had as a kid (but lost long ago):<br /><br />http://theempirestrikesbackblog.blogspot.com/2011/09/box-o-action-figures.html <br /><br />And yes, Ghostbusters 2 was released on the Famicom. It is actually one of the games that I don't have yet, though it figures high on my want list. I have the Game Boy game, it is just a million times better than the first Ghostbusters on the Famicom.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681778110046124243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892786114932769023.post-33039795120671129072011-09-07T12:20:44.204+09:002011-09-07T12:20:44.204+09:00Back in high school when ebay first started, aroun...Back in high school when ebay first started, around 97 I was a HUGE Ghostbusters fan. I started collecting in the wild at Flea markets in NYC and on the yet untamed ebay site. When it came to "The REAL Ghostbusters" action figures I paid for my nearly complete collection by selling off extra pieces i got in lot auctions on both ebay and my own website (R.I.P. GBAF), Its almost more rewarding that way.<br /><br />Speaking of which. Was the HAL labs "Ghostbusters 2" game released on Famicom? It was almost the same as the Gameboy version (which for some reason I own a complete in box Japanese version of). Its top down and we never got a NES version of it in the states.Ecto-Glowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06999601425003280309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892786114932769023.post-39608703122837049532011-09-06T22:31:22.549+09:002011-09-06T22:31:22.549+09:00Thanks Ecto-glow.

Too bad about having to liquidate those sets, that must have been hard to do - especially the Virtual Boy collection!<br /><br />And yes, it is nice that my collection is finally starting to pay its way:) You are totally right about Ebay too, it is becoming a time-suck of massive proportions for me!Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681778110046124243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892786114932769023.post-77667884982073292242011-09-06T14:01:22.273+09:002011-09-06T14:01:22.273+09:00I Have a love hate relationship with selling games...I Have a love hate relationship with selling games on ebay. Mainly bad because I had to liquidate some great collections of mine. Here are a few:<br /><br />Mega Man (US) 1-6 all with boxes and instructions (except for 1 and 5) sold for over $300 a few years back, wish I still had them.<br /><br />A Nintendo collection of 187 games +++ I sold for $600 so I could buy a car when I moved to LA.<br /><br />The Sad sad sad partial liquidation of my Virtual boy collection which was almost complete (I even had a link Cable), I was only missing SD Gundamn Dimension wars and Virtual Bowling (and the Floor display). Now I'm missing many more, But I WILL rebuild some day.<br /><br />Why did I start this post? I'm sad now. You have a lovely collection and I'm glad its helping maintain itself (that's what a good collection should do).<br /><br />be careful though ebay (or Yahoo Japan) can be addictive (both buying and selling).Ecto-Glowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06999601425003280309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892786114932769023.post-82147649684843523622011-09-05T18:43:47.862+09:002011-09-05T18:43:47.862+09:00Thanks, Sean!Thanks, Sean!Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681778110046124243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892786114932769023.post-44456927720628901372011-09-05T11:12:58.604+09:002011-09-05T11:12:58.604+09:00Glad to see you're getting there Sean!Glad to see you're getting there Sean!Sean @ Retro Otakuhttp://www.retro-otaku.com/noreply@blogger.com
