Just downloaded some car boot app that looks like a knock off eBay.
Seen some guy selling a SNES for £70.

I used to have a SNES with quite a few games and a SNES Scope. I let it go for a criminally low amount of money on trade in against a Gamecube (I think). I'm sure it'd shift for a reasonable amount now, in comparison.

Stupid younger self.

Because of this thread, I've been checking out eBay prices of some of the things I already own. I could potentially get about £1,000 in total for just six games:

Panzer Dragoon Saga (Saturn)
Deep Fear (Saturn)
Frankenstein: Through the Eyes of the Monster (Saturn)
Snatcher (Mega CD)
Faselei (NGPC)
SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighter's Clash (NGPC)

Don't really want to let them go, though.

Card Fighters Clash is worth a lot of money? Guess the box and manual really hikes the price up.

That one was only about £50, but yeah, the full package is essential for any decent price on handheld stuff. I guess an awful lot of people just kept the carts. All my stuff is complete and near-mint condition.

I wish I'd bought more than two NGPC games when it was launched, I have a few now but they're all cart only.

Looking at the price of Saturn games on ebay, I have Keio 2 Flying Squadron which is going for £110+

Bomberman is going for over £50 but I've lost the sodding disc, FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU :fp:
