I got a package from Dess as well.

I kind of expected different handwriting.

elegant flowing script, perhaps?

I thought that my handwriting would reveal me as the gradeschooler eager to show off his ability to print that I am.

I expected a package addressed to Wes Ehrlichman and instead I got one addressed to Westopher Ehrlichman. Very cute!

-Westopher

i received a box from parcel post today! initially i thought it was my copy of issue 4 and trade with wes, supposedly shipped weeks ago, but closer inspection revealed it to be my trade with wourme.

wourme is an awesome person, by the way. in addition the the agreed-upon games, he included a copy of williams arcade's greatest hits and some manner of mahjonng game!

it's almost like a have a real genesis library now.

Wes, I apologize, but your Megaman didn't go out until today. I arrived at the Post Office late yesterday, only to find that I had brought the case, but no game. And a rude suprise that would have been! So it's on its way to you now.

I have to express how impressed I am with the whole trading thread concept. EB and Gamestop give a pittance for trade ins, and most of the time I need to really shop around to find what I want. From now on I'll be bringing my trade ins here.

SuperWes · Posted: Wed Feb 22, 2006 1:53 pm Post subject:

Hey man, no problem. Your game's not going out until tomorrow Smile

Got Dess' package. Thanks! I'll probably lose this copy of SotN too! Just wait!

I'll probably post some more stuff up for trade later as I finish it. This trading thing does indeed rock.

Also, the Postal Service works in funny ways... things seem to go between NY and CA a lot more quickly then they do between CA and closer states. Must have to do with population?

Hmm! Any chance I could convince you to trade Ico for my Guardian Heroes Advance? It's mint, by the way. If that matters.

I'd go for Parappa, but my wife would simultaneously love it and want throw it out the window in frustration.

Excellent. PM me your infos and I'll get it sent out tomorrow!

OK! TAKE IT!

Dragon Warrior 7. Case, Instrucions, both CDs all in good shape. Only trading (or selling, which I would honestly prefer) with the Walkthough. Which is very important to anyone who does not play RPGS all in one sitting. It also has a full bestiary (which is honestly a very important thing to have if you don't want to waste time).

I have been holding onto this game now telling myself "I am going to play it one day!" even though I know I never will. I got to the 32 hour point and just never found the joy that the first couple hours lived up to.

"you will have a hard time finding this in this condition in the future if you ever want to play it" SHUT UP INNER VOICES! GAHHH! I will never play it again.

that's a sad post, shaper. I think there a few games I have that I have the same attitude towards, but I think I refuse to admit it.

GSL · Posted: Fri Feb 24, 2006 4:52 pm Post subject:

Shaper: What would it take to get Dragon Warrior VII from you?

Also, I've (about a week ago, to be exact) recieved both packages from Zach and Seryogin. You guys are my heroes for the rest of the month, thanks a lot!

Lackey: Skies of Arcadia arrived the other day. Everything looks good. Thanks!

Have you received Ecco yet?

Seryogin: How about those books? They've come by now, I hope...?

Well, I have some more things up for trade now.

GBA
Rebelstar: Tactical Command (including box, instructions, etc.)

PS2
Metal Gear Solid 3 (excellent shape!)

PS1
Persona 2: Eternal Punishment (in excellent shape, but I'll probably never play it.)
Fear Effect (also in very good shape.)

Stuff I'm still trying to get rid of:

Dreamcast
Sonic Adventure
Dead or Alive 2
Soul Calibur (very slightly scratched disc, but it works fine.)

SNES
Cybernator (an excellent Konami action game, but I have an extra copy. The cartridge itself is in very good condition, but I have no box for it. I do have a manual, however, although it is in pretty poor shape.)

... and I'm Looking For:
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon
Boktai
Silent Hill (I have no idea what happened to my copy when I moved out of San Francisco.)
Tomba!
Einhänder
Final Fantasy VIII
Pretty much anything good for the GBA.
Also,
Earthbound. With the once-included guide would be nice.

I have Circle of the Moon, antitype. Maybe you have something non-game that you'd like to trade

And yeah your books have arrived and they are very good. Thanks.

Haven't got Ecco yet.

Maybe it's karma for sending Sawtooth the wrong Pikmin.

I'm not sure that I have any more non-videogame items that you'd be interested in, Seryogin (Sergei, right? Call me Brian if you'd like). Maybe just cash...? Do you have the box or manual? I'll look through my books and such to see if there's anything else I can offer you.

Huh. Sorry, Lackey. Should be there soon! I think I sent it out a day or two after you sent yours, too, so that should account for any gap. Let me know when it comes, though, eh?

I am looking for Border Down for the Dreamcast. Will pay if I can't find a trade.

Not got Border Down but do have Icaruga (mostly complete as I recall) if you're doing a DC shooter thing.

Shapermc · Hot Sake! Joined: 14 Oct 2004 Posts: 6279

Nah, I just regret passing up on Border Down. I have been looking on and off for a while

I just figured I would try here. I still have Ikaruga for the DC.

BD isn't that good, to be honest, so don't fret about missing it unless it was a very good price (don't know what it goes for on ebay, but the shops still wanted what I paid last I checked, which is too damn much). Me and my mates got much more fun out of Zero Gunner 2, which I picked up for pittance in a second hand shop back in the day.

friedchicken, your ico is finally shipped! sorry it took so long.

please don't meditate too much on the fact that in the time it took me to mail your game i was able to clear story mode and unlock every character in the game you sent me.

anyway, on its way!

Has everyone gotten my stuff (except for dess)? I've gotten everything! Thanks a lot guys, it sure beats trade-ins! Next time you go into GameStop and they harass you about trading stuff in tell them that you trade all of your stuff with your friends and that you'll trade your games in as soon as they start offering equal trades.

Someone should go into Gamestop with some of them most valuable games on the Saturn, SNES, and Genesis. Bring in a copy of Radiant Silvergun, a copy of Tengen Tetris, and a copy of the SNES Ogre Battle and try to trade them in. They don't accept games from past generations, so it would be funny to see the employees turn the trade-ins down.

You could even write a Gamer's Quarter story about it!

Gamestop employees would give you cash out of their pockets if you came in with those. They're all savvy enough to know what's up.

GSL · Posted: Wed Mar 08, 2006 8:00 am Post subject:

Are you sure? I had to explain the concept of a 'PC Engine' to my former co-workers. I think Radiant Silvergun would most likely inspire a round of Saturn bashing as was fashionable with the kids back in 1997.

I have Megaman: Maverick Hunter X (US ver) up for trade if someone's got something nice and juicy to offer. Or not so juicy even. I'm not too picky.

Maybe? Also I bet you can get in trouble for that.
