I hope it was someone from here and not a reseller, because there were a ton of great games and it sold well under the value.  I just couldn't part with >$400 right now on games.
Another douche trying to obtain a full Turbo collection.  119/146 so far.  Got a long way to go. Half way there. Hit the 100 mark. ich bein ein obeyer

Just looked at the hi-res shot and wasn't impressed until I got to row #3.

Let's hope these games ended up in good hands.

I was watching this all week and waffling on whether to bid.  I did throw in a halfhearted snipe attempt of $380 but I wasn't really watching the clock and it was 2 seconds late.  People on these boards have been messaging me for copies of Sylphia, Exile 2, Dragon Slayer, Ys 3, and other items on my trade list and it would have been nice to pick up this lot, keep Spriggan 2, Valis 1 and a bunch of other PCE titles I don't have and sell off the dupes dirt cheap to help people out.  It would be cool if we had some kind of buyers co-op to go in against the likes of GameSquad on stuff like this, as individual gamers rarely need the entire contents of these larger lots, nor have several hundred dollars lying around.  Of course, the logistics of a co-op would be very challenging.

Lots of goodies there: Strider, Sylphia, Iga Ninden Gaou, Spriggan, Spriggan 2, Shubibinman 3, Twin Bee, Godzilla, etc.  I wish I would've seen that one, as I would've been all over it and dumped what I didn't need here.

That was my plan, but I only bid ~$375 and obviously lost :(

Lucky bastard is lucky!

Sorry, but I don't see your library card on the books of Ys.  Now, RETURN THEM TO ME!!!
