@@Wabajck speaking of scams... CIB is way too big a risk for how much that goes for. You can spot a fake cartridge by looking at the board. Boxes and manuals are much harder to verify and when the box alone sells for like 150-200 I would never take that risk, reprints are just so common nowadays.

FYI (and I am sure someone else probably mentioned this already), the top loader NES originally came with dogbone controllers that look more like SNES controllers and are significantly less common than the original NES controllers you received with your unit. As a collector, I'd be furious if I ordered a top loader and did not get the top loaded controllers with it.

@JoshBattin 2 ай бұрын

On a more realistic note, being cautious vs being furious would be most collectors if they were looking for a specific thing. For instance, calling someone at luckie to confirm that the top-loader would come with the dogbone controllers. You could then move in to furious territory if they confirmed then didn't deliver.

Gamestop has been surprisingly solid when a game you're looking for is actually in-stock, and eStarland was by far the most reliable. That's my story.

first of all, it's not called "the blade 💀". technically, it doesn't have a name but people know it as "Blades". and second of all, that's not what is on that 360. that's NXE. so thank god Austin called it "old school interface" instead of misnaming NXE as "the blade 💀".

@@mojave5661 First of all, maybe you can understand how to read sentences. It was not inferred that the NXE interface was called 'the blade 💀' but the Blades are old school, enough that you can use it on your series X as a theme now, Not NXE.

That being said, wait long enough and some games will eventually be a decent deal. Consoles though? Cheaper, but still marked up.

Lukie is entirely responsible for getting me back into gaming. I bought a 2008 fat body 20gb 360 back in 2017 for $70, been using it nearly every day since, and it runs like a watch. I also ordered a bunch of games with it, all of which ran perfectly and had zero scratches whatsoever, not even kidding. On top of all that, one of the games they sent wasn't the one I ordered, it was actually a much more expensive game (2 disc metal case special edition of The Force Unleashed). I told them about it, they sincerely apologized, then immediately shipped out the game I ordered while letting me keep the more expensive game. I have nothing but good things to say about the company. It's too bad that sensationalist videos like this end up harming good companies.

I’ve been buying from Lukie Games for over a year. It’s always a hit and miss with that website. I’ve had a broken case, the wrong game sent several times, and their packaging is always questionable as well. Only reason I still even buy from the company is because of the cheap PS1 games they offer that I need for my collection, since I’m going for the full PS1 set.

@Null_Experis 25 күн бұрын

The toploader NES isn't a terrible deal. The console alone goes for $150 on ebay, and when you throw in a $5-10 game, a zapper hookups and controllers worth about $25-30, that's a $175-190ish value, so that's not bad at all.

With the super slim PS3 here it looks like someone dropped soda next to the console and it got inside. Not enough to damage the circuit board thanks to the EMI shields but it looks like just enough for rust to start thanks to the acids in the soda(remember Coke can cause rust as well be used to remove rust) and give bacteria a food source to develop thanks to the sugar.

I've generally had good experiences with Lukie Games. As a Canadian gamer, I often get screwed on shipping rates when buying retro games on eBay. Lukie Games is one of the few outlets that still has reasonable shipping rates, which aren't the same or more than the game itself. They're packaged well, they arrive promptly, and while a few of their prices are out to lunch, they're generally good value. Their customer service is also pretty decent. I once ordered Chameleon Twist for N64, and they accidentally sent me Chameleon Twist 2. When I pointed this out, they issued me a refund, and said I didn't need to send back the old game. So I went ahead and bought Chameleon Twist from them again. 🤭 I never buy systems from them, though. That's mostly because I don't trust buying systems online. Get systems locally, get games from Lukie.
