The Shoppekeeper's Want-List
This is my complete personal want-list, and contains the major items I've
been after for awhile. Unless specifically stated, the computer system does
not matter. I collect the packaging, and will take whatever platform you
happen to have (but the game must have its original box or folder).
If specific details are included, it means I am only after that particular
variation. I will buy these items outright, or trade
items from the Shoppe
to get them (but not items from
my personal collection).
If you have something on this list and would like to trade, simply click on
the item to begin working out an exchange. Or if you have something that's
not on the list but which you think I might be interested in, please
let me know.
I don't have fixed cash prices in mind for most of these items. The
exact amount I'm willing to pay depends on the individual game, its
overall scarcity, and how long or intently I've been looking for it.
Trades are always preferred, and will get you more for the exchange.
As a general rule, expect to get a few dollars for most common European
cassette games (buy a bunch to save on shipping), around $20 - $30 for
most uncommon boxed items, more for really rare stuff. If you're not
sure, you can always ask me to make the opening offer and go from there.
I'll be the first to admit that many of these items are very obscure.
If you'd like more information, please e-mail me and I'll share what I know
about them. However, please don't ask me to sell you any of these items,
as I don't have them, nor do I know where you can get them (if I knew that,
I'd have them myself). But do feel free to put yourself on the
waiting list for them.
1/21/2009: I've added a list of console games I'm looking to trade for.
