Hello! I've posted a couple threads about this in the past, but now that I'm in the final stretch, I wanted to make a last post for the last games that I need. (I just feel like the visibility is a little bit better with the list being in the first post and in the title)
I've made good progress so far, thanks in part to a couple forum members here. I've got some really nice pieces like Final Justice, C-So!, Swing-kun, (I had a suspicion that this might be harder to find than Gulkave, but I lucked out. I have seen less copies of this for sale than Gulkave) and even broke down and bought Crusader from Satopin. Yes, the price was high, but after not seeing another copy for sale for several years then I figured I was more likely to regret not buying it.
So, that brings me to where I am now. Six rare games standing between me and assembling the entire Compile MSX/MSX2 library. There are still some common ones that I'm missing, but I can get those almost any time.
Not sure if I'm going to get all of the Disc Stations yet. I'd have to make some room for them, but after I get the rest of the titles, I might as well.
So, I've broken down my list into three categories, rare, uncommon, and common.
Rare Titles. Must be complete. These are the ones that I am willing to pay more than the current value for. That doesn't mean that I can pay a sky high fantasy price. I would pay up to two "stacks" of USD for Gulkave. I think that is a LOT of money, so, please save your 3,000 Euro offers. That is just insane.
Gulkave
Hustle Chumy
Devil's Heaven
Megalopolis SOS
Aquapolis SOS
Birdie Try
Uncommon Titles. These are ones that come around pretty regularly. I bid on them from time to time when the condition seems good and I have the spare cash but I haven't landed these titles yet. I will pay near the top end for good condition copies, but I'm not breaking the bank for these and paying more than they would go for on YAJ plus maybe just a little to account for the shipping and proxy fees.
Thexder
MSX1 Zanac
Adventure of Randar III
Mage Lulba Omnibus
Guardic Yellow Cover (I have an extra blue cover box I could trade for this box)
Common Titles. These are so common I can pick them up any time that I want to. I'd be interested in these if you had them in good condition and I was buying something else from you anyway. Otherwise, unless you're in the USA, it's not going to be worth shipping them alone.
Load Runner
Chop Lifter
Championship Load Runner
I'm looking for Japanese versions, unless it's one of the games where the international version is the exact same as the Japanese with added western-language instructions. In other words, it needs to have the original Japanese artwork, cart, and manual. If there are western extras on top of that then that's a bonus. Must be complete. The rarer it is, the less picky I am about condition, but I might offer considerably less for a trashed copy. Not interested in bootlegs.
Payment will be made via Paypal as "goods and services". I will not use "friends and family" so please work any fees into your offer. Some of these titles are much too expensive for me to consider sending money internationally without protection. I am a full-time eBay seller with 100% positive feedback which I will be happy to share with you. I've made a couple of deals here as well.
I will definitely be posting some pictures of the complete collection when I finish. Still, even with just a few titles remaining, I realize that this may take years. If my collection wasn't in such poor order at the moment I'd post a picture of what I have so far.
I've got a good amount of trades too. Quite a bit more than the last time that I posted trades. I'll list those soon.
Thank you in advance!
