Thanks! Glad to be back! Btw, I Don't know exactly how many games I have right now... I have just made the best G&W deal of my life. I was offered many Brand New G&W games for a very good price. The seller was not even a G&W collector but the games he had was awesome... My best friend closed the deal for me because I was not able to go there but when I get the games to my home in a few weeks I will tell you more and give you some photos...

Well well, I'll give you some details then A few weeks ago I got an email from a man telling me he had a bunch of G&W that he wanted to sell and he said he wanted to sell to someone who still appreciate the games (as kids of today doesn't) and not so some greedy retro store. Well, I was of course interested but didn't know what to expect. It turned out that this man got these games back in the 80's directly from the official swedish Nintendo agent and he had have them in the attic ever since... During the years, he gave away some of the games to his relatives' kids but most of them remained in his attic... When he told med this, I actually had hard to believe that it still in 2007 is possible to do finds like this... Why? you say... well the number of intact NIB games he had was 26 (22 brand Nintendo G&W + 4 brand new Casio)...and there were no duplicates and best of it all...it included a brand new Egg !!! He sold all of the games to me in a lot for a very good price (which I won't tell you, but compared to eBay prices it was a bargain) You can guess I was happy when I finished the deal last week As I wrote before, the games are not in my hands yet since my best friend helped me with the deal and in this case I will not trust swedish postal service, only personal delivery is good enough so it will take a few weeks until I get the beauties in my hands. Anyway, this is definitely the best deal of my life!

Hmm.. forgive me for being sceptical but have you seen the games yourself ? There are a lot of scammers out there!! Don't send him any money unless you are certain he possesses all these items..

Don't worry Michael, I do not take risks when it comes to deals like this. One of my very best friends have already got the games in his hands and he told me they are as expected. I also got photos of the games from the seller and talked to him on the phone before the deal and that showed that everything was in order. I will post some photos when I get the games from my friend. Probably around the 10th of March.

So, finally I got my hands on the lot of games I wrote about some weeks agon. It was 22 brand new G&W and they look very good. Unfortunately there are some writing on some of the boxes and also some paperworks and original batteries missing but in total I must say I am very satisfied. Here is a photo I took today of the lot. Enjoy! Now I'm gonna go though my entire collection and select which ones to keep and then I think I will sell or trade the rest, I would guess about half of this new lot is duplicates. I think I now have around 45/60 (need to count again ) so the last 15 would not be too far away

Very, very nice. What a great find.
I'm curious....how did you first make contact? did the seller find you? It is useful to have an internet presence with a wanted page. I once got a great deal on a boxed vectrex console and loads of games from a guy who contacted me out of the blue. I wondered why he had picked me, then I went to google and typed 'vectrex wanted' and my site came up at the top of the list! Mystery solved!

Wow, great lot! Congratulations!! I'm amazed this guy had all these games and selled the lot for a good price! Only collectors usually keep so many items together!!
Please resize the photo with a width no more than 700 pixels. It destroys the look of the forum..
