[understatement]

I got one thing last night it’s nothing as UnpluggedClone-ish as $1 for Web of Fire but it was something I had been hunting for a long time, Metal Warriors loose for $25.

[DreadIsReal]

I found these two PC games, very mint and 100% complete. Railroad Tycoon and Lost Treasures of Infocom. Anyone know if they are worth anything?

[Kitsune Sniper]

Lost Treasures is worth a bit of money, especially if it's got every single piece of paperwork included. Even more if it's the CD version. Even MORE if it's the hybrid DOS/Mac version.

Railroad Tycoon... I think it's pretty worthless. It's a Sid Meier game, those always get high print runs.

[Rogmeister]

One more game arrived today...it was a new (still sealed) copy...

Catwoman for the GameCube

My quest to get all the DC Comics games for systems I own is nearly complete... :D

It looks like it is the hybrid version but not the CD version. Thanks for the help.

[Kitsune Sniper]

Uh... what? The only hybrid version that exists is on CD. Unless that thing includes two sets of floppies.

[DreadIsReal]

Uh... what? The only hybrid version that exists is on CD. Unless that thing includes two sets of floppies.

Here is a pic of everything that it came with, the hint book, the manual, a ton of pamphlets, and fifteen total floppys.

[Kitsune Sniper]

*delete, double post*

[Kitsune Sniper]

I was talking about a version with DOS / Mac versions of the games on one CD. Those discs are for one platform only, I'm guessing DOS. And you have a variant I wasn't aware of. Wow.

Well damn. Thanks for your help, I appreciate it. I have no idea what to price this at.

Railroad Tycoon... I think it's pretty worthless. It's a Sid Meier game, those always get high print runs.

But it's still one of my favorite pieces of PC game box art. :)

Garage sales, 10/28/10
http://i880.photobucket.com/albums/ac5/Ryaan2000/Finds102910-1.jpg
Okay... Sooooo.... Went to one garage sale and they had a TON of cool old stuff, made a little pile of things and got the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom (Education version... requires an academic ID, WTF can I resale this?) for $1, and Quicken Deluxe 2000 and iLife '08 for $0.50 a pop. Also, The B-52's album for $1.

At a moving sale I browsed a pile of software and picked up the 2 top disc-only games (Fallout 1 & 2 :D), Civ III, and Dark Colony (2 disc, Mac/Windows) for $2 a piece. I found Sim City on the bookshelf at that sale (Odd...) which was also $2, it's the 5.25" PC version.



The most interesting thing I found is NOT pictured. I saw a tub filled with old photos at the "cool stuff" sale with a little sign on it that read "10 cents each". I saw a few Keystone Stereoview pictures in it and figured I'd buy the whole thing. The lady told me $5 for it all and I got it. When I got the tub to the car I noticed a clear plastic folder in the back of the tub, and it contains old press photos from Gunsmoke, Mary Tyler Moore, Doctors and Nurses, and several other TV shows and films. O_O O_O O_O There's at least a dozen sheets that have different "takes" of a different photo on them as well, almost like "test" sheets (They say "Kodak Safety Film" on their sides and some have marker writing on them). There's some great stuff in here like a press photo of Gregory Peck, and a whole sheet of test pictures (of "Doctors and Nurses") that feature William Shatner! I have no idea what these things are worth but I'm going to do additional research, they seem interesting and hopefully valuable!

Hi-res scans or it didn't happen.

[Kitsune Sniper]

Well damn. Thanks for your help, I appreciate it. I have no idea what to price this at.Me neither. The weight of the item will make the shipping go up a lot (unless you use Media Mail) so that'll drive some buyers away. :(


... got the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom (Education version... requires an academic ID, WTF can I resale this?) for $1

Um. Yes, and no. You can try to resell it on eBay, but if Adobe finds out they'll take it down and you'll get a warning from eBay.

[Ryaan1234]

Hi-res scans or it didn't happen.
I can't scan them now... But here's some pics if that's acceptable. (Sorry, no carpet in the background and receipt though)
http://i880.photobucket.com/albums/ac5/Ryaan2000/MaryTylerTest.jpg?t=1288384531
(Sorry about the large size, but it's necessary to see) This is the only Mary Tyler Moore picture I have like this, although there is one or two additional enlarged press pictures.

http://i880.photobucket.com/albums/ac5/Ryaan2000/GunsmokeTest.jpg
Gunsmoke, I have 3 actual CBS press photos and a whole stack of pictures that look like the above (but different subjects of course)

http://i880.photobucket.com/albums/ac5/Ryaan2000/DrNurseTest.jpg
Doctors and Nurses. This is the show I have the second most of these, but of course this is the most interesting because The Shat is in it (Not sure why a pic is cut out the corner).

http://i880.photobucket.com/albums/ac5/Ryaan2000/DrNurseShatner.jpg
In case you didn't believe it was Shatner :D
LOL I'm not too sure what's going on in this picture, but knowing William Shatner...

But like I said I have a whole folder of these things, not sure what to do with them. I have one press photo in particular that simply has "Gregory Peck" written on back... And some other stuff from movies I can't identify. I hope I'm not cluttering up the video game finds forum with this, it's just too cool and I'm really excited to have found all these pictures.

Oooh.


Um. Yes, and no. You can try to resell it on eBay, but if Adobe finds out they'll take it down and you'll get a warning from eBay.
Well that's a darn shame... I kinda had a feeling it was something like that.

[Rogmeister]

I got three Xbox games today...the first is used and the others, though new, are Platinum Hits editions...

ESPN NFL 2K5
Halo
Halo 2

Yuck, Terrell Owens is on the cover of the first...maybe someone can make me up a new cover featuring Hines Ward? :D

I LOVE the old Sim City box. The game is pretty awesome too.

I've had decent luck selling education and NFR software, but can't say that'll be universal. That NFR XP Media Center edition I had a while back sold without issue, and I've seen plenty of other education and NFR versions listed. But any of it could be pulled. One option to consider is listing it at a low BIN so it goes quick and all is done before it is noticed. I listed a DVD set that turned out to be a bootleg (it was sealed in plastic and looked fine to me) and it was up for several days before it got pulled... if I had had a low BIN instead of auction it might never have been noticed.

[Jaruff]

I took some things to donate today and picked up Sid Meier's Gettysburg! for $.25 and Civil War 2 Generals for $.50. Disc only for both but a disc only of Generals sold on eBay for $20 recently.

Probably sell Generals; wasn't feeling it too much and I've yet to try Gettysburg.

Also picked up a book on Programming Controllers (wrote in '83, it's for old PC chips), Vladimir Nabokov's Ada (published in '69), and Andropov in Power (Cold War book about the former Soviet leader).

I *did* put those pictures up because you asked, you could at least acknowledge that you saw them.

[Tupin]

A few things today:

Fester's Quest- $0.95
X-Men (Genesis)- $1
Alex Kidd: The Lost Stars- $4.95

[Cornelius]

Yeah, that's the key... *pictures*. No, I need high resolution scans so I can print them out and sell them as originals!!! :angel:

LOL... Okay I get it!
Neuropolitique told me they are called "Contact prints", small pictures meant for enlarging for publicity shots. Interesting!

and lol, I wanted to show them off anyway!

It's been a few years since I've played them but I enjoyed Gettysburg much more than Generals 2. You've reminded me that I actually found a complete copy of Sid Meier's Civil War Collection last week which includes Gettysburg and Antietam. I should try to play them when I get a chance. :)

I actually had a spare copy of Generals 2 with case and instructions listed on ebay with a $19.99 starting bid and it didn't sell, it'll probably get listed again within a week or so(a friend of mine is helping sell some stuff for me on ebay).

[Kitsune Sniper]

... Generals 2 is worth money?!

God damnit I always skip it because it's a Sid Meier game!

[Blanka789]

I picked up a decent lot at the flea market today, but there wasn't much to be found. I got all of this for $35. All the Playstation games are complete.

Croc-Legend of the Gobbos (Playstation)
Fantastic Four (Playstation)
Rival Schools (Playstation) Wanted this for a while, can't wait to play!
Eternal Eyes (Playstation) Sealed
Keith Courage (TG16) First turbo game I've seen in the wild
Zoda's Revenge: Startropics II NES
Zelda: Link's Awakening DX

Are there any differences between Link's Awakening DX and the original besides the color? Also, is Eternal Eyes worth playing or should it go up for sale?

[Gameguy]

... Generals 2 is worth money?!

God damnit I always skip it because it's a Sid Meier game!
Uh, Civil War Generals 2 isn't a Sid Meier game. Generals 2 is made by Sierra, Gettysburg is by Sid Meier. I don't think Gettysburg is worth that much but for $2 I picked up the boxed set that has Gettysburg and Antietam. I'll just quote you from the Rare PC games thread....where you told me what it was worth.

http://box422.bluehost.com/~videogc7/forum/showpost.php?p=1587856&postcount=139

I can sell Civil War 2 disc only for $35-45, and I sold a complete copy sold $65 two years ago (when sales were much better). There's a pack with both Civil War games that goes for good prices too (but that one was reprinted in Europe so it's not as uncommon) - and there's an even rarer pack out there that I stumbled upon earlier this year called The Great Civil War (http://www.mobygames.com/game/great-civil-war), which includes both those games and "Edward Grabowski's The Blue & The Gray". The DOS/Windows 3.1 version of the game is common, but the Windows 95 version (included in this pack) is not. I managed to sell that one for $60 loose (and that one took a while to sell because nobody knows about it!).


Are there any differences between Link's Awakening DX and the original besides the color?
The DX version has an extra dungeon.

Nice find on the Xbox. To my knowledge, those are worth a few hundred dollars. I'd check to see if it has anything on the HD.

Not really finds but first new games I've bought in a while and on a whim no less.
Patapon 2 UMD version - saw a few of these at my local BestBuy while I was there buying printer ink. I noticed there were voucher and UMD models so I opted for UMD. Cannot go wrong for $9.99
Red Orchestra Ostfront 41-45 - $8.77 at WalMart, looks like a good game and from what I've heard it is.

.........this thing works and all I can say is it has a TON of stuff on it..

I took pictures but I'm not sure what I can show.

Curious to know,do these things require special controllers=how do I back out menus.reset.

Red Orchestra is freaking incredible. They're working on a second right now that might come out next year. It's VERY realistic and isn't your typical FPS but I loved it back in the day. I need to find my disc and start playing it again.

$8.77 you say? Hell, I might just go to my Wal-mart and see if I can find a copy.

Normal controller. It's a debug unit; intended to test games made with a development kit. IIRC, they were sold for $1200 when they first came out while the actual dev kits went for $10k+. I don't know if you'll be able to play retail games but you can try. If you were to have any incomplete full games on there, I'd say your value would go up some more.

http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/160159-fsft-xbox-debug-unit-with-build-of-stargate-sg1-the-alliance-on-hdd/

I had this bookmarked. Might help you to establish a value.

[Rogmeister]

Batman & Robin for the original Playstation. Unfortunately, now that I have it...I have to play it! :D

[Gooch3008]

This weekends haul so far:
Super Ghouls and Ghosts $3

CIB Aladdin $2

I should have written that more clearly, I didn't spend that much time on it. You had me worried there. LOL


All I found today was a copy of Samurai Pizza Cats: The Movie on VHS. Pretty cool as it's long out of print and apparently had a low print run. I found some stuff yesterday and last week but haven't sorted through it yet, if I get around to it I'll post what I got.

The Samurai Pizza Cats almost made it into Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, so close yet still not close enough. I've got to look up some episodes now.

Are there any differences between Link's Awakening DX and the original besides the color? Also, is Eternal Eyes worth playing or should it go up for sale?

There's an extra dungeon in Link's Awakening DX I think. Also, Eternal Eyes isn't worth playing, but good luck on selling it as well.

[Gooch3008]

These were all 50 cents apiece! A somewhat decent close to the month of October. Shadow Madness is minty fresh.

Nice Finds..

I really enjoy checking out this thread..

Yesterday was a good day,For once everything I bought works perfectly..

[Fatalstar64]

Not a very active month but ever since I started college money is tight and I have to really prioritize what games I really want to buy. Am now up to 50 games in my Snes collection.

Contra 3 (Snes)
Ninja Gaiden (NES)

$25

[Dreadstar]

Decent haul yesterday, picked up a stack of loose cheap N64 carts:

Army Men Sarge's Heroes
Hey You Pikachu
Mario Kart 64
Mario Tennis
Ms Pac Man Maze Madness
Pokemon Snap
Pokemon Stadium
Space Station Silicon Valley
Turok
Tom and Jerry Fists of Furry

And I also picked up Mutant League Football and Mutant League Hockey, cheap but sadly incomplete. Both are just box, cart, and poster. No manuals, no trading cards. Le sigh.

[Ryaan1234]

Well flea market today and not even worth pics.

I picked up a copy of Jupiter Strike (PS1 longbox) for $3. I also got a broken 3.1 MP digital camera of a generic brand for $1. Why did I buy a broken digital camera? There was a 1 GB SD card in it LOL

That's it, no epic finds or anything today.

[vintagegamecrazy]

My somewhat epic find this month from a Goodwill on opening day 10/24 for a whopping $4.99. Happy days for me!!
