Are you Addicted to Ebay and NES?

In Collecting

hey guys,

I gotta say, I really think im addicted to buying NES Games off ebay. I always see something I want and I HAVE to buy it lol

I'm 25, and married. but I love NES.

who's in the same situation?

lol Im in the same just a bit more mixed up. my fiancee is the one who is crazy for ebay and buys stuff on there 24/7.(as long as its not my money, I dont care) I just sit on the floor playing games and talking to her. I do get games sometimes off ebay.

No, I try to be more patient and find things at yard sales. eBay is way too expensive. It's great when you find the rare good eBay deal, though.

I'm quite the same as you.

I also like net-auctions. Sometimes you really make good finds.

Well, I am...kinda. I only buy a game or two every other month a ebay. I like to try to get the best price.

Sort of - a couple of games every month, but i always try to find a bargain. It's the only palce I can really get NES Games as most of the shops in the city centre sell modern games. And, alas, yard/car boot sales are practically non - exsistent round my part

Ther is only two ways I buy NES Games those are
1. at a yard/garage sale
2. In bundles on Ebay
I buy in bundles because if you buy only one your going to pay about $5 for just 1 game (That is including the shipping), but if you buy in bundles and if you look around you'll find A few for 2 bucks a game (Again including the shipping).



Ditto.

i love nes and ebay, but i only really splurge on ebay when i want a game bad and cant find it locally, or if i find a decent BIN

ya I try to find the best deal on ebay when I can. but sometimes I find myself buying a game no matter what the cost ends up being lol.

it all depends. I really try to only get games that are as Mint as possible.

glad to see other addicts are out there my age lol

The first year i bought alot on eBay,nowadays i think things over more before buying it.
The prices on eBay are rising like crazy lately even on more common games,i am always watching though!!

Same here 26 and married.I buy off of ebay about once a month,but I get my best deals at the flea markets. Yesterday I got a complete nes system 39 games for $40 bucks.

im addicted to buying games online:s

I'm very addicted to eBay. For me, it's currently the only source for buying NES stuff. There aren't any real thrifts around here, no game stores, and hardly any flea markets. Due to the fact that my NES collecting interests are pretty broad (games, accessories, NES & Famiclones, merchandise, etc) I always tend to find something rare or special on eBay at any point in time that I want. Thus, I end up buying a lot off eBay...

I've been trying to get into trading goods with other collectors lately...but I don't have much hope, as I live in Belgium, and international shipping is quite expensive. By the time I calculate shipping costs, it's usually cheaper to just buy the goods than to trade for them.

If any collectors from the Benelux area want to set up trades, I'd be interested.

Well...as of right now....yes, but its died down a bit.
I bought off ebay:

Dragon Warrior I (my second copy. it came with Dragon Warrior II)
Dragon Warrior II
Dragon Warrior III
Dragon Warrior IV

I find ebay too easy to get games... on any givin week you could get 95% of a complete NES SET of games... I enjoy the hunt for games... I could have easliy got a complete set by now but I am working at a slower pace fiding games locally and whatnot
