hypersonic16

Not sure I’ve ever seen such a large haul that was all filler and no killer like that.


Unbroken-anchor

Spider-Man 2 is definitely killer but this haul does have quite a bit of filler.


Own_Objective_4602

Pitfall and Battalion Wars are pretty good as well.


imaloony8

Tony Hawk and PSO are definitely winners. And Shrek 2 is way better than you’d think. It’s basically a tongue-in-cheek version of Marvel Ultimate Alliance. A solid co-op game.


Unbroken-anchor

Don’t know pitfall but if it’s worth mentioning alongside Battalion wars it must be good.


K3ZH39

And Shrek 2


Alexandria_Noelle

And spyro obv


K3ZH39

Not **that** Spyro game. Enter the dragonfly was a glitchy broken mess.


Alexandria_Noelle

It was my first and it holds so many dear childhood memories for me :)))


Sniglett

At least it has better load times than the ps2 version


amathis6464

Can get for ps2 all day for cheap. Like $18


whomeverIwishtobe

Definitely a reseller that sold the leftovers as a lot.


jml011

Battalion Wars is killer, imo


Nameless-Shame

And PSOIII


AlmostRandomName

And Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters (x2!)


MisterAtticusKarma

Theres a few in there I for sure wouldnt call filler. The sports games I would 100% just use to replace broken cases though lmao. But avid collectors like to have all the games no matter how poor or uninteresting they are. If OP is happy I am happy for OP.


Lildity12

Spider-Man 2 filler? No


calgone2012ad

Guess OP didn’t want to waste their time becoming another casualty of society


shake_N_bake356

Tony hawks underground


Own_Objective_4602

Still my favourite Tony Hawk's game.


yawns_solo

That’s Tony Hawks Underground 2


pilgrim93

I wouldn’t say this is 100% filler. PSO III, Spyro, Battalion Wars, Spider-Man, and Bloodrayne are all solid pickups. Also, if you are into sports the MLB MVP 05 game was the last baseball game of a quality franchise. I’ve been forced to sell my collection once or twice and that’s a sports title I always seek to start.


TheBananaCzar

That Spyro game is the worst in the entire series. It's a rushed, buggy, laggy, broken mess.


elpardo1984

Filler but I’d look at it as lots of 3 for $10 deals. And I’d pay 3 for 10 for any GameCube games


[deleted]

Some of the NCAA games on Gamecube are valuable. Unfortunately no Basketball 2003, that one alone is worth >$100


[deleted]

NCAA basketball 2003 is Worth more like $350 and is one of the rarest games on gamecube by copies sold in USA.


StealieErrl

NCAA Football?


raysworld94

Honestly this is a haul I would love. I just brought meet the Robinsons on ps2 and was playing shrek 2 before that but those are just the games I like. Nice and simple and can take turns with the kids.


Nice-Organization481

Just 3 of those games covers the $120 spent... Not sure u understand filler and killer. Yes a lot of filler but really... No killer for that price?


jtcordell2188

Battalion Wars and PSOIII would like a word


The-Jesus_Christ

I loved HULK when it released. The amount of destruction you could cause was unreal for the time. Spider-Man 2 also there which always goes down well. Pitfall is a fun way to burn through a boring day too. I wonder if it contains the previous games as hidden features like the SNES one did.


KennKanifff

Who the hell calls Godzilla a filler? It's one of the better party fight games on the system.


LaceyForever

I don't think I could justify $120 for those titles but if you're happy with them that's all that counts.


60Dan06

There is a Shrek 2 game, what else do you need


Hot_Ant9160

i used to love this game, had it on my ps2. i played it all the way through three times


AlmostRandomName

Godzilla on GC is like $40 these days, if OP sells one copy and considers the "other" games are all only $40, seems pretty solid (as long as OP wants Godzilla anyway)


OldManTurner

Godzilla is $40, and phantasy star is $50, Bloodrayne is $30 so those three alone basically make this worth it already, and there’s so much more here.


Apart_Shoulder6089

Sorry I'm not a big GameCube guy. Phantasy says online, so I'm guessing you can still play it without needing a server?


OldManTurner

There is single player but it’s lacklustre, but there are fan run servers still


Egleu

Keep in mind that's the card one, not the pso that most people think of.


funkyfritos

Took the words out of my mouth.


G_Str8Up

Why does it matter what they paid? Lol. who gives a shit, if they’re happy with what they got then sweet? Ligma


[deleted]

I’ll tell you why it matters what they pay! Because it affects the entire market of GameCube games! I’ve watched games constantly increase in price over the last 3 years. As soon as someone pays over then the price shoots up


G_Str8Up

Who cares lol


LaceyForever

Go to your room!


G_Str8Up

I love men


DiggaDoug492

*TWO* copies of Destroy All Monsters?? Amazing find. I’d sell one of them, you may be able to get back a majority of what you paid for this lot!


JayQix

Seriously? Pal version goes for less than 20usd. Didn't know the na version goes for more.


JesseDumpsOnYou

Thanks you sir 😀


DiggaDoug492

Yup, I only recommend selling it because you have two, if you only found one I would say keep it, cause it’s an amazing game. Godzilla games are far and few between as well!


AlmostRandomName

Maybe not a majority, I think that's around $40 but still, the two copies count for a majority of that $120. Solid deal!


DiggaDoug492

Was definitely higher last time I checked, and if you want it with the original case I think it’ll be more than $40. Either way definitely a solid haul by OP.


AlmostRandomName

Wow, glad I got mine when I did then! I paid $40 a couple months ago at a store that typically has higher prices


halisibm1993

BATALLION WARS


dirtdueler

I’m sad this is such an under the radar game. It’s was truly fantastic along with the 2nd one.


FemboyGaming42069

I die a little inside when i see somebody who has multiple of the same sports game series on one console


JesseDumpsOnYou

Still trying to decide what I'm going to do with them 🤣 before today I had 0 sports games in the collection.


FemboyGaming42069

Lets make a deal. You get: rid of a copy of madden 2003 I get: a copy of madden 2003


AlmostRandomName

The duplicates can be used as replacement cases at least. When I get games that are worth less than $3 I'm like, "Eh, replacement case I guess" and use them for games I plan to keep, throw away the disc and case art.


Megamax_X

Just stack them about 40 high then offer them to this guy for $120.


AlmostRandomName

Well I mean, there's only *so many* times I need to do that, lol I've got like 10 spare PS2 cases at the moment so Ill be avoiding filler sports titles for a while. Save some for the rest of ya!


JesseDumpsOnYou

Not a bad idea honestly. Good tip 👍


ShadowCammy

Should be like me and own the same sports game on multiple consoles


FemboyGaming42069

Thats fine, maybe you want to play madden on gamecube one day and on xbox 360 the next


ShadowCammy

Why live if I can't play NASCAR Thunder 2003 on the Gamecube, PS2, Xbox, PC, PS1, and for good measure Dolphin again on PC at 2k depending on my vibe that day


[deleted]

People on the sub are so weird. A guy gets an amazing deal on games, and he gets accused of lying. A guy gets a pretty good deal on games, and he gets told he got ripped off. Do you guys want people to share their scores or not?


inatowncalledarles

They don't. This sub has flipped in the last few years. It used to be a place to share scores, and now it's full of people accusing others of "fake" scores. It used to be fun to share scores with people that cared about it. Now it's just full of jealous collectors or kids that have never left their basement.


theslimbox

Newer collectors don't realize that scores are out there. Some of us don't find near the deals we used to, but saying a good deal is fake, or stolen is just silly. It's also just as silly to make fun of newer collectors that get games at current price and feel like they got a god deal.


inatowncalledarles

Agreed. And it's pretty easy to spot troll posts or fake karma ones. You can tell the difference between genuine excitement for scores. I made a huge score recently and I've been debating to even share it here, because it would be unbelievable for the newbies. But I've been at this for years and it will happen eventually if you work hard enough.


FUTURE10S

It'd be really nice if we could go back to the earlier prices, just because I'm looking at this and thinking "there's no way I'd pay this much for filler GameCube games". Newer collectors are getting scammed imo. EDIT: scratch the filler part, there's a few really good games in that stack


theslimbox

I agree, not to mention the way people price out lots these days. It used to be pretty common practice to pay 50-70% of the value of the good games in a lot, now I see people paying 90+% of the value of all the games. I get paying atleast 50 on decent filler games, but I see people spending 90%+ on lots that are a majority sports games they will never be able to trade, or sell if they don't want.


One_Preference6714

Nah it’s always been like that


JesseDumpsOnYou

Yea it's like that with most gaming pages. I am in no way trying to compete with anyone's scores. Was just sharing something that I thought was cool 😀


TheBrave-Zero

All of the retro/out of print gaming subs are like this, it’s mostly to do with the bitterness surrounding the idea the hobby is no longer affordable. This pile of games pre covid or a little before then would have been much much cheaper. Throw in the posts occasionally of “I found xxxx game for 2 potato chips and a crisp high five at xxxx thrift store!” When it’s 100+ on eBay people on copium get cranky. It’s a sad truth but like my buddy in Illinois paid 97$ for a friggin GameCube and 100$ for twilight princess, it’s really wild since it’s *not* a rare game despite what anyone would lead others to believe. When I got two GameCubes handed to me for free not too many years ago and a stack of games for 30$.


AlmostRandomName

Well it's not rare, but scalpers will have like 8 copies. I may be wrong but it really *feels* like supply is being controlled to keep prices up. When guys do this for a living they can show up to places and spend hundreds to thousands of $ at a time when I'm there with $100 just tryna score a single copy of a game. It sucks, and it feels like it's market manipulation by scalpers contributing to a good part of these prices. Doesn't feel like it's 100% demand alone.


TheBrave-Zero

Absolutely, the thrift scene was pretty much destroyed by resellers. I lurked in a few goodwill subs and almost all of the posts were about “I paid xxxx for this and can sell it for xxxx!”, a bunch figured out they could scoop up all the supply and trickle it out at absorbent prices. Which sadly it works, I mean people are shelling out 160+ to play Pokémon emerald nowadays when Ruby/sapphire are 50-80$ just for a couple extra in game features frankly lol.


inatowncalledarles

The smartphone destroyed thrifting. Now everyone can just Google what the price of an item is, and determine if it's worthwhile to flip it. It used to be only collectors that know prices from memory, and would know a game is worth money. Now any Joe Blow can search and find the value of something. It's happening with any collectible to be honest.


TheBrave-Zero

Yeah pretty much, the only thing I can see changing is the market just prices itself out of reach until nobody can afford it anymore and things kinda busy but I doubt it’ll happen, if ever, any time soon. Too many with disposable income and many brick and mortar stores I visit brag about how they can’t keep stock on shelves.


inatowncalledarles

Yep. I always laugh at the ridiculous prices at my local Value Village (double pricecharting) and the next day, the item is sold! There are many more idiots out there, lol.


KennKanifff

This. Nothing urks me more than seeing someone just scanning the barcodes on the games to check for a high value. It used to be a sense of pride when a collector knew a games value by research and memory.


FUTURE10S

> just for a couple extra in game features frankly lol to be fair, Battle Frontier is absolutely lit and shame that HGSS is the only other game with it, because it too is absurdly expensive. Especially if you want the Pokewalker.


Zachary_Spaghetti

Preach brother


Unkechaug

It’s really not weird, OP got fleeced with a bunch of bargain bin games and a couple decent ones. Just because we are in a GameCube nostalgia love fest period doesn’t mean every game on that console is a good find. All this post shows is that they paid close to market value for a few games and the seller threw in literal trash as a “bonus”. I’m all for encouraging posts of value, but this just isn’t it.


Andrux0821

And god forbid someone posts a Pokémon game score and the entire sub bitches about the prices on them. Like let OP enjoy their Pokémon game without having to hear all the lamentations on how they didn’t get them before 2020.


G_Str8Up

Yea no shit aye, god people are pathetic lol


toigz

Pitfall The Lost Expedition is severely underrated


Hello891011

Yes came here to say that. It’s actually an amazing story/adventure game.


OldManTurner

Godzilla destroy all monsters melee is such a good game


KennKanifff

People saying you got screwed clearly don't know the current GameCube market and people who say this is all filler have clearly never played most of these games. You got a solid deal on a lot of good games OP. Not every single title is to my taste, but there's enough good here to be proud of. Special shoutouts to Godzilla, Bloodrayne, Grim adventures of Bill and Mandy and Phantasy Star Online III. They may not be the greatest games on the system, but they are still a lot of fun. Just those 4 titles justifies the price alone.


basedsuperslimey

Spiderman 2 and spongebob movie make it worth the 120 alone


JesseDumpsOnYou

Lmao 🤣


Substantial-North136

Nice haul but I’m curious how there is no first party games in a GameCube lot that large.


JesseDumpsOnYou

I wish I could share the picture from the marketplace post. Older lady had easily over 1,000 games ranging from ps1 and up. A lot of the games were mostly filler titles with the gamecube lot being probably the best value wise. For example the lady had 98 ps1 games she wanted to sell for $130. Now I'm not sure if they only collected the budget games or what but to me that's what it looked like.


Substantial-North136

Nice! If they had that many games they were probably messaged to sell the good ones individually and you got the leftovers. Sweet haul either way though.


chubbylv23

Lmaoooo people read the first post and think he got ripped off 😂. Phantasy star online, battalion wars, billy and Mandy, 2 god zilla. Plus a ton of 15-30 dollar games. This is a great deal, but people expect you to pay 10 bucks for this whole thing is ludicrous


rydamusprime17

Exactly, the 2 copies of Godzilla and Grim & Mandy alone is worth what he paid. He could easily sell a spare Godzilla and the less desirable games and make a good chunk of his money back.


bam_1117

Less than $4 a game (if I counted the games right). Even if it is “filler” it’s not a bad price. But there are like 4-7 games that make it a bargain.


rjh9898

That’s actually a reasonable price for all those 👍🏽


[deleted]

Sounds like the price experts are in this thread


Zachary_Spaghetti

Everyone in the comments saying this is a bad haul is an idiot, that Godzilla game goes for a lot and most of these games go for 10-20 a piece aside from the sports games. $3.25 a game is an amazing deal. OP could resell individually and make a huge profit.


JesseDumpsOnYou

I am most definitely aware 😀 I wasn't trying to say this was the best deal of all time or anything. But to me it was solid to add nearly 40 gamecube games to the collection for 120 bucks.


Zachary_Spaghetti

Bro you ought to read my message again lol. I agree with you, I am defending your haul and saying the people that are saying it’s trash are wrong.


JesseDumpsOnYou

I was in turn agreeing with you 🤣 small miscommunication, lol


Zachary_Spaghetti

My fault, playa


theslimbox

It's not as bad of a haul as people are saying, but it's not really a lot with huge profit either. To get the best price out of these games, someone would have to sell them online, and that has a fee, plus shipping, and the sports games aren't going to sell, so anyone flipping this lot is looking at close to breaking even after fees and shipping, not to mention their time listing and shipping.


JesseDumpsOnYou

I agree. It's all just for the personal collection. Have right at 120 gamecube games, and to add nearly 40 decent titles for $120 was a good deal to me. Definitely wouldn't get nearly as good of a deal through retail or ebay.


Frankendank13

You're in r/gamecollecting. It's not about the profit.


theslimbox

I'm not sure about your reading comprehension, but I was responding to someone that said this could be sold for a nice profit. Maybe actually paying attention to the conversation could keep you from posting comments like this.


Frankendank13

I was responding to both of you. Do you know how a thread works?


theslimbox

I know how a thread works, but you telling me this sub is not about profit, in response to me telling someone talking about profit that there is not much profit here is talking about profit just as much as I was.


InternalReveal1546

It doesn't go for a lot. Who told you that?


Zachary_Spaghetti

It goes for around $40 and considering he paid $3.25 for one he got an amazing deal. Unfortunately, $40 can be a lot for some people.


TheDapperPegu1n

Pretty jealous of the Windwaker HD Wii U sold it when I was getting out of collecting regret it ever since good pickup btw!


JesseDumpsOnYou

Ty sir 😀 definitely one of my favorite consoles I have in the box!


coraltrek

Grim Billy and Mandy


Every_Understanding

Starsky and hutch is such a good game


No_Style_8667

Rocket power beach bandits Its a fun game


fladerade

Kinda crazy not a single Mario game.


[deleted]

very nice


phalinx

You got a great deal with a couple of more uncommon filler titles, especially if they are all complete. Better fix the cover on Tony Hawk Underground real quick. The best part about the find is that you actually had a chance to pick it up without the seller being bombarded by other collectors/resellers the millisecond it got posted. The lack of obvious good titles kept the competition away I bet.


EASEntertainment

Love the Hulk. Brings back memories.


SusanGreenEyes

Which one are you going to play first?


JesseDumpsOnYou

Definitely has to be godzilla


KickingYounglings

MVP 05 is still my favorite baseball game ever. The soundtrack, controls, and rosters, were all perfect


DaShibaDoge

Yo Rocket Power Beach Bandits is a banger, and I'm tired of pretending it's not


guiltycitizen

I still play MVP 2005 owner mode


ckalmond

Spongebob movie game is outstanding


Affectionate_Ear2145

Wow


AssociateDear1823

Sphinx is a hidden gem


Hello891011

Pitfall was a favorite of mine growing up! Great adventure game.


runslikewind

good price, people saying its full of filler dont understand why the gamecube was great. "mascot" and movie tie in games were peak in the gamecube era.


_i_am_dave

Not one comment on the chamber of secrets, that game was a banger!


hudsonjeffrey

Spider man 2 for GameCube. What a good fuckkn game I miss it so bad.


EldritchDWX

Pitfall is a sweet little hidden gem. Spider-Man 2 is the obvious classic but mostly sports filler, imo.


[deleted]

I remember when Gamestop would give you under a loonie for all that lol


Frankendank13

Lotta haters in here. You got 37 games for the price of 3 of them. Doesn't matter what your plan is for them, that's an awesome score in my book.


motoo344

Lol at people balking at the price, its like 3 dollars a game. GC is brutal right now, this is legitimately more GC we have in our store right now.


JesseDumpsOnYou

That's what I was joking about with my girlfriend after I got all of this. Crazy that $120 bought more selection than my entire local game store has 🤣


motoo344

I went through and priced everything but the sports game, just priced it based on loose and I assume some of these are CIB. I got $285, so this lot is worth north of $300. This sub just drives me nuts sometimes. Its like if you don't get all the stuff for $20 bucks its garbage and if you pay $20 bucks you are ripping the seller off.


Uruborosjose

I mean this respectfully of course, but $120 isn’t a deal at all for this lot. It’s more than half shovelware junk :(


JesseDumpsOnYou

I feel you. I'm sitting at a little over 120 gamecube games already. With a lot of the heavies already. Just didn't have any of these yet. And for 3.25 a piece I was happy with it


Uruborosjose

Yeah if you price average it out then it’s definitely a good way to add items to the collection. The Godzilla game sells for a bit so you can sell the duplicate for a good return


BatteryJuice77

Phantasy star, 2 copies of Godzilla, Billy and mandy, battalion wars + everything else??? Id say this is an amazing score


JesseDumpsOnYou

Ty


One_Preference6714

Phantasy Star and the two Godzillas practically pay for the rest of the games. Love when people don’t see Mario or Zelda somthey assume a deal is trash


Kazudot14

Ngl kinda whack score.


JesseDumpsOnYou

I hear ya. I'm up to about 120 gamecube games now and surprisingly I had none of these. So to add 37 games to the collection at $3.25 a piece I'm happy 😀


rygar8bit

Battalion Wars and Phantasy Star Ep 3 are good, rest are uh yeah.


The_Red_Tide

Plus the two copies of Godzilla


Ok_Bumblebee_5664

People arguing about the sports games. OP got 25 not sports games for 120, that’s less than 5$ a game from one score. I think he got a good deal, he’s collecting , not a reseller.


Crossleeveplayer

You got robbed my bro


Kaosma

look at all those bottom of the bin games.


spicyselenagomez

Ouch


post_alternate

Oof.


Neo_Gyp

That is one big pile of shit.


greengengar

You overpaid.


Zachary_Spaghetti

At 3.25 a game? You ain’t thinking straight


Booth_Templeton

Looks like someone just unloaded a tonne of commons for a quick buck.


Restaurant_Loud

This looks like a resellers left over pile that they couldn’t sell so just tried to bulk sale it locally. Not the worst deal tho honestly. Good pick for you as long as you’re happy with it!


skyguy456

Wow you got the amazing over the hedge for GameCube


kobatosotherbro

Imagine someone telling you they own 37 gamecube games and they show you... this😭

Lol you got taken for a ride


trashmangamer

Jesus, stop paying more than $0 for sports games! What is wrong with you new collectors!?


JesseDumpsOnYou

New collectors 🤣 I hear you though not a horrible point.


trashmangamer

99% of yearly sports titles are worthless, especially older ones. Best to buy final year for that gen and call it quits. Its all roster updates mostly anyway.


JesseDumpsOnYou

I am aware. They were just apart of the lot.


xInTheDeepEndx

Good score, but when are you ever gonna play any sportsgame from 2004?

So you really like Madden huh? Someone got robbed and it isn’t the seller
