Some good deals at the Gamestop sale today:

http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/405/gh360.jpg

360 Aerosmith GH $9.98 (wired guitar $0.01 :D) x2
360 Namco Museum Virtual Arcade $14.99
PSP Silent Hill Origins $9.99
PS2 Persona 3 FES $19.99

Although none of the Gamestops were aware of it, when you ring up the Aerosmith game and WIRED guitar controller, the game comes up at $9.98, and the X-plorer guitar (normally $39.99) comes up as $0.01. The stores I went to had these guitars (normally free with a wireless Aerosmith bundle) in the back, so you'll have to ask for them. Looking to trade the second Aerosmith game (sealed) for a used 360 Guitar Hero II in good condition. Lots of other good deals there...there is a list with prices on CheapAssGamer if you're interested.

PS2 Network adaptor - $1.99 at gamecrazy
mana khemia rosenqueen deluxe edition thing with large box and figure - $17.99 used at gamestop
I was really surprised to see that traded in. It was still the same price as a used mana khemia and everything was there so I'm happy.

[VACRMH]

Hit a flea market and nabbed Midevil for PS1, Yanya Caballista for PS2 and a Wavebird with no sensor (:() Only paid $1.25 for it all though.

And hit the Gamestop sale too. Valkyria Chronicles, Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles, Final Fantasy 1 for PSP and Metal Slug 7.

Best part is that my Leisure Suit Larry: Ultimate Pleasure Pack arrived in the mail yesterday :D

I was going to pick up that game for a friend, but I didn't have a chance to go there today. I backed out. If they still have some tomorrow then I'll drop by and buy it for him. I really wanted to buy P3:FES... :(

[jeffg]

Mad Catz 7.0 LCD Screen New from Gamestop $39.99 (Well $18.88 after trading in Wii Music and a recharge cable for 360 controller).

It is great to have this screen that I can use my Modded Xbox on, and also with my Saturn, and my other systems since it has universal clamp to connect to the systems.

I might have to go back and get the other one they had.

+1 I knw riet?!

Actually, it has every Larry game out there (Save for the 2 non Al Lowe ones). I think it also includes the original game that was later turned into the first LSL - "Softporn Adventure"

YOIKS! I've got those at home!...somewhere!...And they say PC games don't appreciate in value. Nyuk nyuk..Ebay, here I come. lol.

[Porksta]

I got the metal slug 7 and persona fe,valkaria, I also picked up 2 street fighter 4 360 tournament sticks this month. Great gamer game sale. I passed on the Wii resident evil umbrella.

[Steve W]

Today I had to drive my half-blind mother down to Waco, TX, so on the way back I hit a few thrifts and things.

First off, I went to the FX GameXchange store in Richland Mall, and picked up (all loose): Killer Bees, Sid the Spellbinder!, and Smithereens!, all for the Odyssey2, for $1.95 each. I also picked up Gremlins for the Atari 5200 for $2.95.

At a Goodwill, I bought a Ms. Pac-Man plug-and-play wireless version for $5. And later, at a Goodwill Computer Center, I bought (also loose) Dungeons of Daggorath for the TRS-80 CoCo for $2, TI-99/4A Demonstration cartridge for $2, and a TI cassette game called Night Mission. It felt weirdly good to have the opportunity to buy a TI game on cassette again, like back in the olden days. :)

Firstly, I remember seeing that exact copy of 5200 Gremlins. I don't have a 5200 so I'm glad someone that could use it bought that.

Did you know, at the Goodwill Computer Works, they throw out 5.25" floppies? It's true. I saved Battle Chess from there one time. They were going to throw it out. Anyway, I'm also glad you found something there. They rarely have any interesting video game related stuff.

And yes, I live in Waco and I know the places you went to. You should've checked out the Goodwills on Valley Mills Drive and Hewitt Drive. They have the best stuff out of the 5 Goodwills here.

I wish I had hit all the other Goodwills, but I didn't know where all of them were. I had put screengrabs of thrift locations from Google Maps on my iPod, but I didn't get everything. And I didn't even know about that Goodwill Computer Works, I was there because there's a thrift next door that I found on Google Maps (which turned out to be a women's clothing thrift).

I used to live in Waco when I was a kid, but I couldn't recognize anything this time, all the landmarks have changed. Even when I drove through in 2003 to go to the Austin Game Expo, I still sort of could tell where I was. The place has blown up since I was there! Couldn't even find my old house. Still, I have to go back again to pick my mom up on Thursday, I might hit a thrift or two I missed today. And I'll probably eat at Buzzard Billy's again. Great little restaurant. EDIT: About Buzzard Billy's... my gut's been rebelling against their food since I got home, I've been in the bathroom six times since I got back. I think I'd like to retract my recommendation of that place.

[InsaneDavid]

Just a couple quick pickups.

First, a bunch of Wii / NDS information cards from a Nintendo Retailer Reference binder...

http://www.classicplastic.net/digitalpress/finds/DP-Finds-2009-04-06(01).jpg

I don't have / care to work on collecting a Nintendo RRG, so they're all going to be up for sale.

Second, three brand new sealed copies of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon - Red Rescue Team for the GBA, $10.00 for all three...

http://www.classicplastic.net/digitalpress/finds/DP-Finds-2009-04-06(02).jpg

One for me, the others will go in my sale / trade box.

[Tenjikuronin]

Went shopping on ebay again....won this lot for $61.66....

[Deadman]

Went shopping on ebay again....won this lot for $61.66....




WOW! Apparently I don't know how to use ebay correctly.....


Nice find!

[Tenjikuronin]

WOW! Apparently I don't know how to use ebay correctly.....


Nice find!

Thanks......I've just gotten lucky lately with two big finds....usually though I don't find anything on Ebay.....

[Steve W]

What's the X68000 box in the middle? Is it a component for the computer or is it a software box?

[Tenjikuronin]

What's the X68000 box in the middle? Is it a component for the computer or is it a software box?

Its a software box, it has these floppy disks inside.....

[Steve W]

Ooooh, even that thing's floppy disks look classy!

[darkslime]

That's a cool lot. What do you search on ebay to find those?

[hellfire]

I went to the gamestop sale, for 30$ I got
guitar hero aerosmith (xbox 360)
castlevania the dracula x chronicles (psp)
silent hill origins (psp)

[VACRMH]

Used some giftcards to pick up a few cheap DS games from Best Buy.

Dynasty Warriors
Naruto....one of them. Looks like an RPG. If not, it's probably going back.
Retro Gaming Challenge

Also bought MGS Portable Ops Plus from Gamestop. Not sure if this has any real single player stuff so I may return that one too.

[The 1 2 P]

Just got a special edition Star Wars special dvd and LOTM cd from Goodwill.

[wufners]

I only ended up with 3 common O2 games ($1.99 each) that it turned out I already had and a loose Seaquest DSV for the Genesis ($0.99.)

But the guy who got to Goodwill just moments before me . . .

He walked out with a 2600 and a pile of games, and much more interestingly, a Turbografx16 with controller. We spoke a little bit, and it only cost $6.99.

Man! The Turbografx and the Neo Geo are the only two systems left I'm hoping to pick up. In 4+ years of collecting, I've only seen a Turbo in the wild ONCE. At a used record store. For $75. And then it shows up at a Goodwill that 15 minutes earlier I was complaining to my wife never has anything good anymore. So close!

I'm happy for the guy, though. He was excited. Glad to see it going to someone who wants it, rather than the ebay/craigslist sellers who have pillaged this Goodwill over the past couple of years.

[Tupin]

I got my Power Player 3D Station famiclone in the mail today. Pretty fun little thing.

[darkslime]

I got my Power Player 3D Station famiclone in the mail today. Pretty fun little thing. I got the controller for one of those thrown into a lot a few months ago, and have no use for it. It's yours for the cost of shipping.

Ouch, I feel your pain. Seriously if that were me I'd be physically ill. :(

http://www.andygames.jp/images/03-05-09/CIMG6751.jpg

Now I have been scouring ebay for 10 yearsLOL and I have seen 3 mega lots on the cheap 2 being yours. I am amazed it slipped through. . Please forward item number so I can see where this holy grail was placed. so I can kick myself. LOL

[wufners]

Ouch, I feel your pain. Seriously if that were me I'd be physically ill. :(

For a day afterward I would randomly shake my fists at the sky and cry out "Turbografx!"

At least it went to someone that was really happy to find it.

Never the less . . .

Turbografx!

[Tupin]

I got the controller for one of those thrown into a lot a few months ago, and have no use for it. It's yours for the cost of shipping.
No thanks, I already have two controllers for it.

[darkslime]

No thanks, I already have two controllers for it.
Alright, no problem. I have no idea what to do with the thing, might just throw it out.

[Tupin]

Alright, no problem. I have no idea what to do with the thing, might just throw it out.
You could take it apart and use the LED/rumble for something.

[Game Freak]

And later, at a Goodwill Computer Center, I bought (also loose) Dungeons of Daggorath for the TRS-80 CoCo for $2.

Nice, i love that game!




Second, three brand new sealed copies of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon - Red Rescue Team for the GBA, $10.00 for all three...

http://www.classicplastic.net/digitalpress/finds/DP-Finds-2009-04-06(02).jpg

ummm....could i trouble you for one :P thats one of the few Pokemon games im missing




and as for my finds, last weekend i only got two measly cables at yard sales :\ a 3' RCA stereo audio cable, and a humongously long coaxial cable

[Tenjikuronin]

That's a cool lot. What do you search on ebay to find those?

In this lot's case, I was simply looking for some controllers/wires for the neo geo system I won in another lot. I came across this lot that was ending late in the day and bid on it.

[SEGA_Queen]

My Dad wanted to do some shopping out of town, so had him drop me off at a game shop in the same area. I discovered that the shop had moved to a new location just down the road. Anyway, I bought only one game, a complete copy of Phantasy Star Collection (GBA) for $10.

[tubeway]

Received my State Tax Refund, so my girlfriend and I hit pretty much every local thrift over the course of the weekend. I also typed my purchases up for my own reference, so there are a few non-game related items in here.

About 50 games for $5 each.

So today I decided to go back today to see what kind of deal I could get on the rest of his stuff. So I got 125 games for $250. Here are the pics, about 50 or so are sports, but rest are not, nothing great, but for $2 each what the heck.

Woah, nice find. I would've personally cherry picked it though because there is a high amount of crap.

it was $5 each if I cherry picked some or $2 each for the whole lot, so I just did the whole lot.

I figured the guy was great to me on the find I had 18 months ago. I bought 50 games for $250 then and kept about 10 of them and sold the rest and made about $1K off that deal, then I bought about 30 N64 and 20 PS1 games from him too and made a bunch more off of him. He needed the money so I figured what the heck.

Monster Madness and Jampack 15 were both from Sears. Despite Jampack only costing 75 cents the clerk actually tried to sell me an extended two year warranty for 11 cents:? After I told him that extended warranties were rarely ever needed for games, I reminded him that this was a clearance game that they didn't have any more copies of. He went on about how I could use the purchase price towards something else and I told him getting 75 cents(if the game broke down) off my my next $20-40 purchase wouldn't be worth it. I think the final thing he said was I could get 15% off my next purchase if something happened to the game but I kind of tuned out by that point.

Thank god I'm no longer the only person in this forum that owns that CD.

I was excited to find that on cassette a few months ago. Sadly, the tape must have been demagnetized, as several songs fade into silence, with the other side of the tape audibly playing backwards (faintly).

It's a good album, no shame in owning it. :rocker:
