so far the only thing i got was a used STEEL BATTALION :o :o complete with all manuals and box inserts for $160 at EB Games. :D

[dreamcaster]

Daytona USA: Championship Circuit Edition (Saturn) - perfect condition, $13 AUS

THIS is the REAL Daytona - not that rubbish they originally released. You could almost consider this an apology from Sega for doing such a poor job with the original!

[AB Positive]

Well, it's cold, rainy, and dreary around here so yard sales are scarce and no fleas near me. However one yard sale came up with...

Sealed, new in box XEXYL for the NES for a whole quarter.

*shrugs* I have no clue what this is but it's sealed new and it cost a quarter. Can't argue that at all. Anyone know if it's good?

Hit a yard sale at random today! Got -

2 X Atari 5200, one boxed with docs (warranty card, owners manual 5200 poster ad, different owner's manual, installing the TV/game switchbox manual, and manual style ad)! Even had the foam!! One cord is rewired, the other is kinda messed up, but hey, I got em! Also came with the following games:

2 x mint Atari 5200 RFs

1 official Atari RF male to female convertor setup (the little tubular thing that has the two hooks on it for TVs with no RF in but just the screws)

2 5200 power supplies!

[Vroomfunkel]

Finally gave in and bought a PS2. I always said I wouldn't buy one until I could play less than £100. And today I passed the video shop down the road, and they had one for £95 - boxed. So then I went into town and splashed out, as Game had all their pre-owned at £15, and "buy two get one free". So I got Hurdy Gurdy, Devil May Cry, Wipeout Fusion, GTA3, Drakan, and Sega Bass Fishing Duel (with Thrustmaster Rod controller) And also Tony Hawks 3 for £8.

Phew!

Better sell some of that drawer full of stuff I've been meaning to put up on ebay for ages!
