Midweek finds - April 14 to 18

[dreamcaster]

Got Conker's Bad Fur Day (N64) today for $24.95 AUS brand new. It was on a throw out table and I thought I'd grab it. I think it's a bargain considering the game went for about $120 AUS when released in 2001.

Plus it's also nice to get a brand new game after so long. I'd forgotten what it's like! The box, the manual, the related paraphernalia and best of all - no cleaning!

[brandver3]

Got Turnabout, and Rush 2049 on the DC, for under 20 dollars.

[WiseSalesman]

You guys all suck. :-D The salvation army around here never has a damn thing.

Are you talking about the Salvation Army on Euclid Ave. near E.55? It's like I was saying in the other thread. Cleveland seems to be mostly BONE DRY. I just gotta get more persistent, I guess.

[WiseSalesman]

Actually, I'm talking about the one in strongsville on pearl, and I might as well be toalking about the goodwill on w. bagley in berea too. I've never seen a single game at either of them.

Man, I can't wait for garage sale season.....and I gotta find some flea markets too....

[Pop Culture Portal]

I must brag a bit of an unearthly find here in KY. I found a box of 3DO and Intellivision games in the back of an antique store, underneath some quilts my mom was looking at. Nothing rare as far as Intv. games go, but I did manage to snag Vol. 1-3 of the 3DO Woody Woodpecker series and a few of the Vivid adult titles...all for $10, including the Intv. stuff. This never happens to me, and probably never will again. My 15 minutes of fame are shot. The lady that sold the stuff to me said she couldn't give it away for years and finally just stuffed it under some junk and forgot about it. O_O

[WizDawg]

I sometimes do some thrifting in Cleveland and usually find overpriced common NES games. What was your guys best thrift store find in and around Cleveland? I found a 3D0 flight stick for $1. They probably thought it was a computer joystick. Anything marked Atari or Nintendo is way overpriced.

Mike

ps. Do you guys have a secret spot? hehe

[icbrkr]

Today,

I picked up a Sega Game Gear carrying case for $3.50, and AvP for the Jaguar for $7 :) Not a bad little find.

@wizdawg: I've never found a single damn thing in the cleveland area at any of the thrifts I've visited.

[vintagegamecrazy]

You guys are doing all right. The best way to do it is to stay persistant. I work odd hours and don't get much time to get out. The other day at the Music "Ripoff" Recyclery in Gurnee Mills mall I found Pooyan, Shark Attack, and Trick Shot for a buck each and Magic Carpet for the PSX for $7. Not great but good stuff for cheap.

[Charlie]

Not classic gaming finds, but I got Two Towers for the Gamecube for 19.99 at Fred Meyers and Sonic Mega Collection for 19.99. Need one more GC game to have 75 total.

[Starcade]

Final Fantasy Origins New for $30.00

[Jestr]

I bought a turbo express from a guy at work for 40.00. It was in the box with the original packaging. Did I get a good deal or did I ovepay?

[syzygy]

Well I picked up Atari 5200 Congo Bongo. No box, just the cart and it is clean for 99 cents. Thats all for this week so far.

If it works, you got a great deal.

[digitalpress]

TurboExpress for under $80 = great deal. However, if some of the pixels are dead that really kills the value for me personally. I can't deal with that!

I didn't do any hunting this week, though I had a terrible negative vibe when I passed up a Goodwill in Jersey City yesterday.

[dan2357]

Taking advantage of the funco sale I picked up some nes games
Rad Racer
Track and Field 2
Tiger Heli
Adven of tom sawyer
Amagon
Back to the future
Hunt for Red Oct
Cybernoid
Peter Pan
Thunderbirds
Short Order/ Eggsplode
Flying Dragon
Deadly Towers
Karate Champ
Athletic world
I paid about $20 for everything a little less.
Side Note:
The NES Power Pad is the DEVIL >)
I almost had a heart attack after playing eggsplode for about 5 mins. The running games you got to be kidding me I make it a quater of the way down the track then have to sit down to catch my breath.......

[MarkM2112]

All I found this week was "Final Fantasy Legend" for the GameBoy - $9.00 loose.

[123forever]

Today's finds:

Duke Nukem 64 - $2.50 loose
Lego Racers (64) - $1.00 loose
Desert Commander (NES) - $2.50 loose

They had a ton of games dirt cheap that I would love to pick up if I had the money. They're kind of a weird store... they have a lot of games priced from fifty cents to five bucks, but then they'll price a PS1 game that went for $10 new at $15 used. My best finds there have been Raiden Project for $2.50 and FF Tactics original cover for $5.

[mitmoe]

SOCOM Navy SEALS $35 complete used


DREAMCAST

Razor Scooter
ESPN Track & Field
SEGA Bass Fishing
Unreal Tournament

All used and complete $20

[chadtower]

That's $15 games for $20... how did you manage that one? Even with the sale I'm not getting any of them for ~$1 each... or is it that the gamespot here just has a tremendously crappy selection?

[mitmoe]

Unreal was $8 and the rest were $4 each. Electronics Boutique. They were a few I didn't bother to buy before. This is the cheapest I have seen them around here.

[brandver3]

I picked up a minty new Ikaruga for GC for $32.

And I got REZ for 28.32

I love Rez!!!!!
