Midweek finds (June 30 - July 4)

[dreamcaster]

Donkey Kong Country (SNES) - loose cart, $7 AUS

Interesting how no one's started the 'midweek finds' topic yet! Has everyone just plain forgot, or hasn't anyone actually bought anything this week?!?!? :/

[Scoots]

I haven't been able to do any hunting this week but a guy at work gave me a complete Genesis with Sonic 2 and Fifa 96. Not like I needed a fourth Genny, but for free, I won't complain.

[Gamereviewgod]

I got Raiden Trad, Wonderboy, Deadly Moves, and Decap Attack on the Genesis (all loose) for a grand total of $8. I kick ass.

[congobongo]

Found a nice "PRO-5 Professional joystick" today for $3! Unfortunately it didn't have the cables with it. Now I'll be hunting for the pinouts. Anyone else have one of these?

Layout is exactly like this one. Different colors and name

[thekeepr]

The Keeper :/ LOL :roll:

[hezeuschrist]

Hopefully I should have one hell of a 4th of July deal. The bastard hasn't emailed me yet though :(

[Scoots]

I found a Virtual Boy at the Sal for $4. No controller, AC adapter, or stand, but what the hell. I had to buy it on general principle.

They had about a dozen complete TI99 games/utilities too, but priced at $3-$8 each. I don't think I need to worry about someone scooping those up before they hit 75% off....

[liquidmetal]

hey congo, whats that controller for?

[maxlords]

So far, all I've found were:

Guncom 2 - $4.62 Cdn! Yay!

Sly Cooper And the Thievius Racoonus - $25 Cdn

Not bad this week :)

[congobongo]

hey congo, whats that controller for?

On the back of the controller there is two ports. One says mega drive/Genesis the other says super famicom/super nintendo. Unfortunately I don't have the cables though so if anyone happens to have the piouts please let me know.

[ubersaurus]

I think that is all for this week so far... last weekend tho i hit it nice. I picked up a vadar atari with 20 games (some common some not so common) for 5 bucks at a garage sale... but it does not have the ac adapter, instead with it, the kids had a SNES adapter. Also at the same sale I picked up a Factory Sealed Battle Toads for 5 bucks :D. Later that day went to another sale and bought a bunch of NES games for a buck a piece... but there were only two that I didn't have (bump n jump and rc pro am) oh well... can't wait until saturday.... I'm going to a WHO WA town with towns of thrift shops.

Went to my local Funco last night, found a few things of interest:
Lunar Legend (GBA) - $19.99

Also some guy apparently left two Dreamcast games he didn't want there, and since I'm a "prefered customer" ( :D I help keep them in business) the guy just game them to me: Crazy Taxi and NFL 2K1. Since I already have 2K1, should I bring it for trade at CGE?
