Hi, I've decided to clean up a little and sell games from my collection that are just taking up space. All of these are good ol' 99-cent auctions with no reserve. I hope you folks don't mind posting the link here, I figured some of the items might be of interest to members.

Items include a big Atari Lot (including a boxed Pressure Cooker, Dolphin,... and loose Crackpots, Frostbite...), a Coleco games lot, lots of Nintendo Stuff (N64, GameBoy,...), OIDS for the Atari ST, and some AD&D Gold Box Editions for the C64/128.

Thanks! Let me know if you have questions.

Nice stuff. If I didn't already own most of those boxed atari games I'd be interested in that lot. I don't have the Dolphin, Journey Escape, or Q-bert boxed but they're the only 3.
A fellow Canuck eh? Good luck on your auctions

Hi, and thanks! I thought about splitting up the boxed games (or, at least, the rarer games like Dolphin, Pressure Cooker, etc), but in the end I didn't think it would be worth the hassle.

I probably would've bid on stuff, but shipping from Canada costs me too much.

Yeah, it's pretty bad, and it always affects my final selling price. It gets "better" with larger packages/multiple wins, but a single boxed game is easily $10 to ship. I'm always amazed when I order from the states and larger boxes arrive with a $4 postage sticker on them.

I've made some major buys from Canada, but since I have the majority of items being offered all the time, I'm very particular in what I purchase. Big buys don't do it for me too often. Though I just picked up this very nice lot of games for $70 shipped. Notice the silver label Gravitar with instructions. That was the reason for the buy, and is worth the money I paid. Don't need anything else in the lot, but there are some rarer decent games in there. I hope to make my money back on everything else.

I saw that lot and I was going to bid and I would have gone a lot higher than that final price but I found some other things to spend my money on. You're lucky

[Philflound]

Actually what it sold for was my highest bid. So you would have won it. It was tough to justify the $25 shipping.

Yea Canada Post is BAD. Their shipping prices are way past insane anymore.

Final bumpety bump. Some items still at 99c with less than a day to go. Might be a deal there for folks even with shipping (or anyone living in Canada/Europe, given that we're used to those shipping rates all the time ).
