I've passed on multiple copies of this at the Flea Market during the summer, it just looked too horrible for me to risk it. It was tempting though.

Though it's Robocop on the cover, he doesn't look anything like that in the film. More like duct tape and pie plates. And apparently you can weld with sparklers.

That's almost as cheesy as Kung Fu From Beyond the Grave (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTJlMtuXnjc).

Err... Okay. Kinda odd posting after myself.

This morning, lot sale.

I got 4 things, 2 of which are worth mentioning. Nothing video game related but I found a Sansui "Six" model stereo receiver and a NAD 7125 stereo receiver. In my 7 (so far) years of going to garage sales, this is the first Sansui I've had a chance to buy. It's not one of the super fancy $1200 models but hey, it's still worth $100! It was kinda odd finding a Sansui receiver in the bottom of a giant box of broken coffee makers and corded phone, but sometimes it happens that way.

I really need more of these receivers like I need a hole in the head, but at $5 a piece I really can't complain. I currently have the Pioneer SX-780 from the other week, a 1970s Marantz, and the 2 I got today. I'm going to choose one for personal use. The NAD is looking pretty attractive because it isn't that big and doesn't weigh 5000 pounds like the other ones. My plan is to clean up, fully test, and list the ones I have on eBay this week so I hope it works out that way.

Some weird super famicom games, one called soulblader and this DBZ one that from the instruction manual appears to be an rpg. Both came in the box, the DBZ has the plastic insert and instructions and another small paper thing.

$2 each from goodwill. First imports found in the wild, and first imports I purchased.

Soul Blazer is an Enix game and was released in the US under the same name.

I have that DBZ game and about ten years ago it was considered one of the two best Dragon Ball Z games out there(the other one being Dragon Ball Z Legends for the PS1 and Saturn). I've only played the DBZ rpg you have once and just couldn't get into it so it now sits neatly on my gaming shelf.

its been quite a while, probably over a year since i've posted here due to the birth of my twin sons just over a year ago. but i just recently have gotten back into gaming...

Just picked up COD Black Ops today...but over the last several months have picked up titles such as SSFIV, Halo Reach, Transformers WFC, among others...all for the 360

My love lies truly among the classic consoles, but every playntrade around has closed practically and i have not tried ebay in a long time

Been awhile since I actually took the time to take a picture of what I've bought but I figured this was worth it.
I picked these up on Friday:
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb141/jcalder8/IMG_0301.jpg
I got the GC games for 20 but none of them have manuals.
Mario Bros Wii was 20 and complete.
The shirt was 15 and the tag says that it's 1 of 1000.

I got these 3 for free from a store that was closing down:
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb141/jcalder8/IMG_0304.jpg

Got this home today:
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb141/jcalder8/IMG_0303.jpg
Cost was only 25 and it came with 2 glass shelves that I still need to put back in. My fiancee was pretty excited about it and is looking forward to putting some lights inside.

Soul Blader was known as Soul Blazer in the US. Yeah, they changed one letter in the title for the localization.

Well, today was super productive!

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j238/foxhack/DP/dp-2010-11-10b.jpg
Felix & the BuzzCatz (new)
Columbia Jazz Masterpieces Sampler Volume 5
Bjork - Selmasongs: Music from the Motion Picture Soundtrack Dancer in the Dark
Louis Armstrong: The Hot Fives & Hot Sevens Volume III
Hank Jones, Mads Vindling, Billy Hart - Great Jazz Trio Standard Collection Volume 1
Los Panchos + V/A - Los Panchos y sus voces
Man� + Enanitos Verdes - Combinaciones Premiadas

What's this? I bought two albums in SPANISH?! :o The first two albums were $3 for both, the rest were $1 each. The Felix album is apparently officially sanctioned by the owners of Felix The Cat, and I'm curious to see what that's about. The Louis Armstrong CD has a bit of wear on the booklet but is otherwise fine. Apparently.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j238/foxhack/DP/dp-2010-11-10a.jpg
2001 Maniacs: Field of Screams promo CD-R soundtrack + Score
Ani DiFranco: Living in Clip (CD + booklet in slipcover)
AD&D Masterpiece Collection (first print?)
$1 each. $5 total. What's funny is that I saw that same Ani DiFranco CD at another booth.

Oh yeah, and this thing.
http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j238/foxhack/DP/dp-2010-11-10c.jpg
The Great Civil War (Robert E. Lee: Civil War General, Grant - Lee - Sherman: Civil War 2: Generals, Edward Grabowski's The Blue & The Gray) complete in box - $5. I see this sold for $50... but I'm going to hold onto it for a few weeks and sell it during the Christmas sales. :D

Hey,
I was looking into getting something like this for my collectible/memorabilia crap, but my worry is that they are suppose to be "counter tops" and I want to push it against the wall; meaning I dont have access to the doors to put stuff in and out. Any further thoughts there?

Got Red Faction: Guerrilla for the PC for $2 sealed at Goodwill today. Amazing how a game goes from $60 to $2 in little over a year. It's not a bad game either, but before Target gave it to Goodwill, it was $5.

I've just put my collectibles in it so that I don't need to pull items in or out very often.

See that is what I was thinking, but my gf said that was stupid and I should have better access. Because If you need to slide it in and out things move, fall, etc.

But I thought I could put stuff how I want it and carefully slide it in and out as need. i woulnd't be accessing it all the time. Was that your thinking then too?

Think you're missing a disc there in the AD&D Masterpiece Collection....Ravenloft: Stone Prophet

No, I don't think so. I think there were two releases, because I had an incomplete Masterpiece Collection, and they were supposed to be 4 discs, with the hints in the 4th disc.

I think this is either an earlier or later release that didn't include Ravenloft. I need to find the CDs to make sure.

I ended up putting mine in the middle of the room and put a small couch on the back side of it to hide the doors. When I want to get into it, I just move the couch and leave the display where it is (too heavy to move anyway).

I knew I'd seen one on here, must have been yours. My place couldn't have it in the middle of the room but backing a couch is a good idea.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j238/foxhack/DP/dp-2010-11-11.jpg
Tetris Plus (PS1, GH)
Nina Simone's Finest Hour
Phil Collins: Serious Hits... Live!
Ozzy Osbourne - Scream (brand new)

Right off the bat, a GH copy of Tetris Plus for the PS1 for $2. Score. The other CDs were $1 and found at a booth in the middle of the flea market. They were in a picnic basket. (WTF) That Ozzy CD is from 2010, so I figured, what the hell. :P

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j238/foxhack/DP/comics-2010-11-11.jpg
I didn't find much of anything until I hit a booth where you can get everything you can fit into a bag for $3. I wasn't going in there until I noticed a familiar face in a table. Lucky Luke?! There were three French Pilote comics there, and one Tintin anthology - all from 1968. Two are regular magazines, the others are a digest books that have duct tape on the spines to hold 'em together. I kept digging and found those two issues of Rip Off Comix (#6, #10) from the 1980's. Bwah?! Oh yeah, I also picked up a complete copy of Age of Empires III: The War Chiefs, which I didn't put in the picture. I'm cartin' that off to Goozex.

Time for another round-up of my finds. These actually range from late October to now. Nothing as exciting as last time but still some good additions:

http://inverteddungeon.com/triacesuperfan/storage/finds103110.JPG

http://inverteddungeon.com/triacesuperfan/storage/finds111110.JPG

Kid Klown in Crazy Chase (SNES) - 2.99
Dragon Warrior I & II (GBC) - 3.99

Duke Nukem 64 (N64) - 2.99

Columns (GG) - 2.99
Shinobi (GG) - 2.99

Kingdom Hearts (PS2) - 3.99

MediEvil (PS) - 3.99

Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles - Ring of Fates guide - 0.99

Yo! Noid (NES) - 2.99
Maniac Mansion (NES) - 2.99 (I don't know why I got this considering I have it already and it's not worth much, but it's too good of a game to leave behind, haha.)

It's getting kind of frustrating that many of the stores I visit seem to have higher prices than in the past. 2.99 has always been my comfort zone, where I'll buy just about any game as long as it's not sports. I had to debate with myself a little on the 3.99 games I bought, but I figured they were worth it. In fact, MediEvil I didn't even pick up the first time, but I saw that it was valuable enough on eBay to be worthwhile. Ironically, somebody nabbed the MediEvil II that was also there, even though that's the cheaper game, but MediEvil was still around for my return trip. Maybe they were turned off by the cracked case, but big whoop about that.

Even though it's not a find from the wild, I also want to show off my recent acquisition of the Collector's Edition of Solatorobo, with all its lovely bits and pieces. :) For the near 100 bucks it set me back, I deserve to show it off, haha.

I went on a pretty wide ranging thrift hunt today. At my favorite thrift I found the Intellivision II, the Dreamcast (without a modem or BBA, just a blank piece of plastic) and the Atari six-switch. I grabbed the Intellivision II but I never thought to look for the power supply until a couple of hours later. I was hoping the Dreamcast was a Japanese model, since there wasn't a modem or ethernet port on it. Turns out it's just a regular US model with a blank covering over the expansion port. It also has something smeared on it that looks vaguely like shit. Ewwww. I don't even know why I bought the Atari 2600, I've got a few too many to begin with. They had three of them, and this one was in the best shape. The Intelly was $3.93, and the DC and Atari were $4.94 each.

The weird looking toy marked Pong Extreme is an LED based device. Kind of like the ones companies like Tomy put out in the late '70s. I just thought it was so cool that someone was still making LED based Pong games, I shelled out the whopping $1.49 for it. At the Console Game Exchange in Frisco, I bought Heart of the Alien for $19.95 and Undeadline for the Mega Drive (Japanese import) for $6.95.

That is, if it works. I have really bad luck with Dreamcasts bought in the wild. I've only found one in a thrift that actually worked out of four bad ones.

Goodwill Hunter

A two-bagger from Goodwill this week. First, earlier this week, saw what I thought was an Atari 7800 in a bag with some games in the glass case….close, but not quite:

http://img837.imageshack.us/img837/7036/searsbag.jpg

Turned out to be a late model sears 2600 console, one I had never seen in the wild before. All the red LEDs light up, and it’s in great condition. Came with 9 rather common games in the bag, all for $19.99. A little more than I like to pay for a 2600 lot, but given it’s condition and relative rarity (at least for me), I thought it was a good deal.

Then, the next day, in a different Goodwill, stumbled across this bagged lot for $14.99:

http://img809.imageshack.us/img809/8256/n64bag.jpg

An N64 console with 2 controllers and cables, all in nice shape, with 6 games. The only standout amongst the games is Earthworm Jim 3D, which coincidentally I bought a few weeks ago for nearly half the cost of this entire lot!...oh well, one of them will be for sale at the 2011 MWGC.

Found a few more games on the shelves at that Goodwill….SNES Space Invaders & Marvel Super Heroes: War of the Gems for $2.99 each…WOTG goes right into the collection. Then found an oddly shaped gameboy cart called Robopon for .99. It has a little external battery door (I’m assuming), but other than that, know nothing about it.

On a completely unrelated note, one of my non gaming finds from a while back ended its ebay auction last night:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Steve-Zodiacs-Fireball-XL5-Space-City-Playset-1963-MPC-/250720596741

Pretty happy with the return on my initial 5 dollar investment!

and Undeadline for the Mega Drive (Japanese import) for $6.95.

NICE

Unfortunate that it's cart only but for just under $7 you got one hell of a deal. That game goes for $100+ complete, and it's a damn awesome game to boot.

Kitsune Sniper

11-12-2010, 01:42 PM

God DAMN, Goodwill Hunter, that was a helluva profit.

Anyway, I'm lazy and don't want to take pictures. One guy beat me to a complete retail Office 2003 Professional and a few OEM Office sets by five seconds. :( I only found one thing today:

http://static.rateyourmusic.com/album_images/s434187.jpg (http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/various_artists_f2/beauty_and_the_beast__of_love_and_hope/)
Beauty and the Beast: Of Love and Hope (TV soundtrack.) Yeah. That cost me $2.

That's a hell of a good deal. I've been wondering how much that puppy might go for after Kitsune mentioned the last one sold for something like $1500. That was such a batguano crazy good deal!

I had tried to buy that game from the store a couple of months ago for $19.99, but they wouldn't let me have the box. Apparently, the CGX stores won't give you boxes unless it's a disc-based game. So I went back there and they had marked all of their Genesis games down to try and move them, including Undeadline. I could justify buying a boxless game for only seven bucks, so I grabbed it. I mainly bought it because it didn't look like it was heavy on Japanese text like a couple of the other Mega Drive imports they had. I'm glad to know it's worth a little something.

I saw that one you mentioned, and I think it went for so much because it was complete. The set I found was missing a lot of the figures, the instruction sheet, and part of the die-cut building. I think much of the value in my set came from the condition of the box and the main space ship. Either way, I think the winning bidder and I are both pretty pleased.

I have the 4 disc release with Ravenloft: Stone Prophet as disc 4. My disc 3 is Menzoberranzan and does not have the hint books on disc as yours does. Mine has a printed book and some other inserts are in the box, codes I think. Also my discs are all yellow where yours are different colors. I bought mine new in 95' or 96'....didn't know they re-released it.

Rescue Rangers 2 for about $10.

It was awhile ago, but I managed to get a great condition complete Arkanoid DS, Japanese version with paddle for about $30 on half.com. Looking at ebay, that was probably a good deal.

The game got remade fairly recently too. It's a very, VERY simplistic FPS, but it's all about shooting stuff. Who needs a story or character development? :)

Kiosk Models also just say "Demo Unit" or "Kiosk Unit" (one of the 2, I forget) on the bottom sticker. Seems to me that would just be easier ;)

All I found in my limited search today was Time Pilot for the Colecovision plus Squeeze Box and Crystal Castles for the Atari 2600. All were $1.79 each at a local Play N' Trade.

I went back to the store where I bought the Dreamcast/Atari 2600/Intellivision II and looked for the power supplies, but there weren't any. Whoever traded the consoles in also didn't trade in any games, either. That's weird to me. There were a few Atari joysticks (Gemsticks - it always seems to be K-Mart's 'Gemini' brand Gemsticks) but nothing else for any of these consoles. I'm hoping maybe they'll find the cables and games later on and they'll get donated. I don't know where I'll find another Intellivision II power supply anywhere in the wild otherwise. I stopped at a few retro game stores a couple days ago and couldn't find one. Hell, I find Atari 7800 power supplies more often than Intelly II ones. I guess I'll have to turn to the interwebz to get one. Not as much fun, though.

My finds for the last two weeks:

http://i494.photobucket.com/albums/rr306/THE-1-2-P/GEDC0174.jpg

Uncharted 2 x3
Dante's Inferno x2
Alan Wake x3
Alan Wake limited edition bundle
God of War 3 x3
Bioshock 2 x4
Super Streetfighter IV
White Knight Chronicles
Lego Indiana Jones x3
UFC Undisputed 2010 x3
Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands x3
Assassin's Creed 2 limited edition x2
Alpha Protocol x2
Splinter Cell Conviction x6
The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Trackers limited edition
Transformers: War For Cybertron
The God of War Collection x3
Borderlands
Little Big Planet: Game of The Year edition x2(not pictured)

Grand total of 45 cents

Not bad for $300-500 worth of strategy guides(if sold at retail of course). The only things I didn't find were a MW2 and Batman: AA strategy guide. I also left a GOW 3 limited edition guide behind but I'm going back for that next week.

http://i494.photobucket.com/albums/rr306/THE-1-2-P/GEDC0208.jpg

Halo Reach: Legendary Edition $5
Farcry Instincts: Predator $15
Split Second $20
XBL 1 Year Subscription $30
Halo Reach shirt $5

This was the first decent priced copy of Farcry for the 360 I've found new. The majority of people on ebay and amazon want $35-50 for it. Split Second was on sale for a week at Best Buy so I grabbed it and have been enjoying it ever since. The XBL year subscription at the low cost of $30 was another perk of being a rewards zone gamers club member at Best Buy. And I couldn't resist the Halo Reach shirt for $5 on clearance.

Now I know you are all wondering how I got a new copy of Halo Reach legendary edition for a mere $5. Well technically I paid $105 since it was on clearance. But I've been following prices on ebay for the last several weeks so I bought it knowing full well I could easily make my money back. All I did was take the included code(found only in legendary editions of Reach) for the flamming skull and listed it on ebay for a "buy it now" price of $100. It sold in about three days. So I still have the game, statue, and all the other extra trinkets for the low cost of $5.

my friend gave me one of those that he won in a contest, its still sealed maybe i should try to sell that code thing too?

You have nothing to lose. List it but don't open your copy. If it sells then open it. If not then keep it like that until you are ready to play it. Either way once the legendary edition starts to get put on clearance at the majority of stores next year(as all special/limited editions do the following year) that code will start to be worth less and less. So if you are going to list it for the big bucks now is the time.

Flea market finds, Sunday November 14, 2010.

Soo, I was at the flea market, I walked by my favorite overpriced video game vendor, the one with the booth full of sunfaded NES games. He had some new games at a "not buttrape" price for once. I got Mega Man and Castlevania Adventures, he had marked them each $5 but I offered $8 for both and that was accepted.

At another booth I got that monstrosity of an Xbox 360 that you see here, and yes the cover on the disc drive has been broken off. The guy had it marked $25, which is pretty expensive to begin with, since it's an as-is unit. He assured me it worked but I really don't trust these flea market folks. I talked him down to $15 for it, and component cables were included. Why did I buy it? I have 2 RRoD 360 systems in my closet, and I'm hoping I can make one good system. This one turns on, and it has a rapidly flashing green ring... not sure what that means. Also, the drive doesn't open when the button is pressed, although like I said I have 2 more systems with good drives, and I may have to do a replacement, hopefully that's all it needs. And yes, the black parts of the system is where some little brat colored in with marker LOL.

You could call my last bit my "Kitsune finds" LOL, there's this one vendor that always has a pile of weird audio CDs and PC games, I got what you see here for $1 a piece. I was walking around the booth, not really looking, but about had a heart attack when I saw the Big Top Pee Wee soundtrack (I love me some Danny Elfman!). Also, Empire of the Sun soundtrack, Stubbs the Zombie, and Catching Up with Depeche Mode. The single CD in the plastic sleeve is an unused copy of Cubase LE, version 1.07. Too bad it's OEM, I don't think I can use it because of that. I wonder what it originally came with, because I'd love to have it!

You guys remember my $3 Xbox (http://box422.bluehost.com/~videogc7/forum/showthread.php?t=130086&highlight=xbox)???

Well I still had it in my closet so I took out it's drive and compared it to the one in this fugly system I got today. They have the same drives! The previous owner really messed up the drive on this system getting the game out so I basically switched the drive controller board from the broken drive with the one in the working drive. Each Xbox has a drive specifically keyed to it so it's not so easy as taking a drive from one and putting it in another. I installed it into this recently found Xbox and viola! I now have a working Xbox 360 that cost me a whopping $18!

God DAMN I want that Pee Wee soundtrack. *shakes fist*
LOL Glad I made you jealous.

A couple of quick Sunday Finds:

http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/5885/sunday.jpg

Had a 50% off Half Price Books coupon burning a hole in my pocket, so I ran out at halftime of the Bears/Vikings game and found a like new copy of Hexyz Force for the PSP for $7.49 w/coupon...always good to find an Atlus game at that price.

Then on the way back, stopped at a Goodwill, and a quick scan of the CD shelf resulted in only one PSX game...that game just happened to be FF VII. Had all 3 discs and the manual...no brainer at $2.99. And got back in time to see most of the 2nd half of what turned out to be a Bear's victory...not a bad Sunday at all!

Also, if it matters *at-all* I got Serious Sam (original Xbox) and Rebel Raiders: Operation Nighthawk (which is an XS games budget release on the PS2) for $0.50 a piece yesterday at the lot sale. That's all :/

Dude, Serious Sam is fucking awesome!

Yes, that's why I got it! I've heard good things about it but never played it.

I also picked up Serious Sam yesterday, but on PC. I may have it already, but I've never played it and have heard good things. I think I have Serious Sam II and not the first.

I recently found a 360 controller that looks like it goes with ryaan's xbox, and no battery pack. It was less than 2 bucks, so wth. I've picked up some other stuff but we've been without power for 30 hours so I'm all discombobulated and can't remember what I've posted and what I haven't

I've been out of town a lot (why I haven't been posting on here) but here are some recent finds.

- Fallout 3 GOTY, Fallout: New Vegas, Heavy Rain (Target's Buy Two, Get One Free) - ~$130 after taxes, excellent deal. I'll make a good bit back when I sell GOTY and Heavy Rain.
- Spyro Ripto's Rage - $1.50 (Mint)
- Spyro Year of the Dragon - $1.50 (Mint)
- Metal Gear Solid 3 (not retail, part of the MGS Set, been wanting to play this again) - $8
- Sealed copy of Tekken 5 GH (Uncle gave me this to sell for him, so technically not free, but still a neat find) - Free
- Microsoft Train Simulator Complete (Like new with strategy guide, mint disc) - $5 (sells on eBay for a nice amount, actually bought it to play as I've always wanted to try it out)
- Sim City (the original for CD-ROM, not 2000 or 3000) - $2
- Warcraft III Battle Chest (CD jewel case and games only) - $2
- Command & Conquer: The Covert Operations - $1

Finds are drying up here. It's nearing Christmas and it's getting cold. :(

Still, I made $70 at the flea market the other week selling worthless N64 and SNES games (among other things) for $3 each. :D

Man, does anyone else have problems with these forums? I login and can read stuff until I try to post, then it sends me back to the login page where I get in a continuous loop. When are the "real" forums going to come back - any word?

Anyway, I haven't been doing much hunting as work and other stuff are making my life crazy right now. I have found a few things though:

At OVGE, made lots of great trades and deals but I haven't been able to post since then. If this works I'll try to find the pics. Otherwise, I've passed on lots of stuff including a SNES console bare for $3 and some Atari 400 carts at a local half price books.

Today I used my 50% off coupons to get this stuff:
NES Power Pad $7
Harry Potter Half Blood Prince (Blu Ray) $9
Star Trek (Blu ray) $7.50
Hangover (blu ray) $7.50
I love you man (Blu ray) $6

And at a game shop with "generic pricing" on Atari carts ($1.99 each - no matter what) I picked up:
Tapeworm
Skeet Shoot
Coco Nuts (regular cart)
Cosmic Creeps (Handle cart)
Lost Luggage
and Miner 2049er for the Colecovision

11-15-2010, 05:55 PM

picked up a few guides today, $10 total:
FF crisis core
Breath of Fire 3
Castlevania SOTN
prince of persia sands of time
banjo tooie

and only one game that could be called a find, but a good one:
Mega Man Legends 2 (complete) - $15

glad to find it, we've had a copy sitting around at my work for $55, and that was real tempting...

Found this today at a Goodwill for $7.99. Makes a nice companion piece to the MS store NFR version of Halo (http://box422.bluehost.com/~videogc7/forum/showthread.php?p=1697739&highlight=halo#post1697739) that I found at a separate Goodwill...

I might as well do a little blurb at what I got at the lot sale this morning.

A got a small pile of stuff, and FINALLY found a Technics turntable, model SL-1950. It doesn't work right though :/. The tone arm goes in to the correct position to play when started, makes a clicking noise, and doesn't drop down to play.... Not sure what's up but I'll have to mess with it later. Otherwise it's in nice shape. That was $5.

A few records... My bad habit of buying albums for unusual cover art and odd names continues, and my 80s music library gets bigger: Chaz Jankel's Questionnaire, Howard Jones' New Songs (Holy crap at that Jupiter 8 on the cover! O_O), and Erasure's Blue Savannah. I believe all three of the albums I got today were UK-only releases, although they aren't worth much at all. $1 a piece on those.

Also, a Sony CDX-GT640UI car stereo. I swore off car stereos because I can't test them, but this one was a definite buy! It's in brand new condition in the original box; it looks like it had never been used! I couldn't resist it at $3 and it will be listed on eBay either later today or later this week. It comes with all the wires, hook ups, original box, although it's missing the remote. It should be a pretty easy sell.

Aaand because I'm stupid I had a copy of "Tales of Horror: Christopher Lee reads the stories of Edgar Allen Poe" (or something like that) in my basket. I looked at it and figured something so awesome probably would have gotten a CD release and I chucked it back. (It was a 2 audio cassette set). I see that it's available online as a "bootleg" release, but apparently it didn't get anything other than a cassette release. The one time I don't make a stupid impulse buy...

Not much today, just a random headset for $3 and this.

These were $4 for the pair. They're a bit yellowed, which sucks - I intend to sell them, I already have like eight DC guns...

Why do I get the feeling that those guns went with my copy of HotD 2? That thing reeked of smoke for weeks after I got it.

The guns are in pretty decent shape, and they don't smell anything like tobacco. I think the yellowing was caused by a long period of exposure to sunlight; only the top of one gun, and the side of the other, are colored yellow, the other parts look fine.

I hope a bit of cleaning will help. The guns work amazingly well in spite of their appearance!

Wow, November's been a great month for me! At the beginning of month, I snagged a few more Jazwares Sonic figures on sale:

Sonic Super Pack for $15.97 - It comes with Super Sonic (with the corrected head sculpt), Super Shadow, Super Silver, and all 7 Chaos emeralds.

Eggman & Metal Sonic Pack for $19.97 - I managed to salvage part of the packaging to create a neat little diorama!

Espio & Vector Pack for $17.99

Then today I picked up a copy of Sonic Colors (Wii version) for $49.99. And in my opinion, it's the best 3D Sonic game I've played in years! I also stopped in at my local Value Village and found some awesome stuff:

Chrono Cross Music Selection for $5.99 (Used, CIB) - Even though this is basically a sampler disc, I though it would be a nice addition to my collection. The interior artwork is really beautiful!

Incredible Crisis for $5.99 (Used, CIB) - I'm a sucker for quirky games, so I wanted to check this out.

AND...

Valkyrie Profile for $7.99 (Used, CIB):o - This ranks as the best find I've ever gotten a thrift store. Heck, I think it might be my best find ever!

I haven't posted in one of these threads in quite some time so I won't exactly try to catch up, but I will post everything I've gotten this month.

I've had some pretty interesting finds this month, really. River City Ransom, Shadowrun, and Bubble Bobble cart only, complete in box Ogre Battle 64, $5 or less each? :)

Nov. 1
--Goodwill.

PC
--
The Space Bar - $10, complete and unopened large box game
Mystery Quest: Secret Island - $2, Mumbo Jumbo casual game (jewelcase in paper cover), looks like half Solitaire and half find-the-hidden-object or something like that.
Hot Wheels: Stunt Track Driver - $2, jewelcase only
SimCity 3000 Unlimited - $2, disc only (technically it did come in a case, but it was in a SimCity 2000 Special Edition jewelcase... except the game inside wasn't that one, it was SC3KU. For that price I'd have bought either of them, as I only have the original floppy disc version of SC2K and the first version of SC3K (not Unlimited), but it is kind of funny, I wonder if there's a copy of SC3KU out there with SC2KSE in it...

Nov. 3
--
Genesis (cart only, used)
--
Shining Force - $9
Jurassic Park: The Lost World - $5

Nov. 4
--
Goodwill (a different store from the last post)

PC (used)
--
-SimCity 2000: Special Edition and Streets of SimCity- in a papersleeve, $2. Yeah, the very disc not in that jewelcase I got yesterday, that actually had SC3KU in it, shows up at a different store... pretty cool. I've never owned the Windows version of SC2k before, only the original DOS floppy version. And not only that, but Streets of SimCity was in the sleeve with it too. That game got poor reviews, but still it might be fun to check out. SC2k SE is awesome, great version of this all-time classic.
-Europa Universalis II - jewelcase only, $2. Paradox game -- that is a very complex strategy title.
-Legion - jewelcase only, $2. Decent but not great Lord of the Realms/Total War-ish game. Minimal control over battles, which is annoying.
-The Simpsons: Hit & Run - complete in box, $2. I've heard it's sort of Crazy Taxi, we'll see.

In addition to the (complete) PC version of The Simpsons Hit & Run, two extra discs were also in the game's jewelcase: The PS2 version of The Simpsons Hit & Run (disc only), and an American Idol game for the PC (in papersleeve). Huh. Somehow I don't think I'll have much use for that last one.

Nov. 5
--
N64
--
Lego Racers - $4, cart only - Decent Mario Kart clone.

Also, I got a GBA SP. Blue color, original style (not the "with brighter screen" model), with the original charger. I got it because it was only $15, way under the average price for one of them around here, and looked like it was in good shape. Either for GC-GBA linking (hard to find the right light location when sitting in front of the TV (that is for using my original-model GB), to have a backlit GBA (other than the DS), etc. I think that the original GBA, and the DS, are more comfortable to use than the more cramped SP, but still it's not bad.

Nov. 7
--
N64
--
MRC (Multi Racing Championship) - $2.50, cart only -- Not one of the better considered N64 racing games, but I'm sort of collecting N64 racing games. It's an okay game, but one of the weaker racing games on the system. Just not enough content, and poor graphics too.

NES (all cart only, used)
--
River City Ransom - $3 - !!! Yeah, great find, worth a good bit more than this...
Rad Racer - $3
Quattro Sports - $3 - four awful games, one low price!

SNES
--
Shadowrun - $4 -- Another very good find...

PS2
--
Top Gear Daredevil - $4 -- The SNES and N64 Top Gear games were great, but I haven't heard much good about the PS2 and Xbox ones (there was one for each)... we'll see.

Xbox
--
Metal Dungeon - $5 - Looks generic, but hopefully decent.

Nov. 9
--

All games were used.

Wii
--
-Klonoa - $13, complete - What I've played of the PSX original was great, but that was just the demo... I've really been wanting to play this game.
-Vertigo - $4, complete - Marble Madness/Kororinpa/etc. style ball-rolling game. With tilt controls this should be pretty fun.

DS
--
Space Invaders Revolution - $5, cart only. Early DS Space Invaders game, fairly basic compared to newer, impressively awesome stuff like Space Invaders Extreme or Infinity Gene, but fun and with a bit of variety in the New mode's games -- there's one where you fight enemies who fade in and out, one where you fight another ship just like your own, and more.

Gamecube
--
Chibi-Robo! - Plug In to Adventure! (complete) - Part of a buy 2 get 1 free deal; this one was $18 on the sticker, but I got two $15 games too (Steambot Chronicles and Faria, below), one free, so it was effectively three games for $33, or $11 each -- not bad! This is one of the Gamecube games I missed and isn't that common, so I picked it up. Interesting take on a 3d platformer. :)

NES
--
Faria - cart only -- As I said in the conveniently recent Faria thread, I like this game. Lots of fun.

PS2
--
Steambot Chronicles - complete, part of package above. I've thought this game looked interesting since it was released -- it's an open-ended anime-ish mech action-RPG, and is pretty good. It's actually got dialog choices that mean something, a branching story, and more! Definitely a good game.
-Sky Odyssey - $2, complete - Pilotwings-ish flying game. We'll see.
-World Destruction League: WarJetz - $2, disc in Gamestop case - Yeah, the other WDL game... it's one I've been meaning to get but haven't seen often, so I got it this time. It's a flight combat game, instead of a tank game like Thunder Tanks or the BattleTanx games. Bad graphics, good gameplay.

Genesis
--
-Columns III - cart only. This, DKL2, and Super Ghouls & Ghosts were $20 total (three $10 games, buy two get one free).

Game Boy
--
-Donkey Kong Land 2 (see above) - Port of DKC2 from the SNES. DKL1 and DKL3 are more original games, with all-new levels and designs, but DKL2 holds closely to DKC2. That's probably why it's the least interesting of the three DKL games, it does the least new, but the levels are modified to fit the smaller screen, and it's still a fantastic game.
-Taz-Mania - cart only, this and the next two games (3D Ultra Thrillride, Sigma Star Saga) were $6 total -- three $3 games, buy two get one free.) - Sunsoft Looney Tunes game. Sunsoft's original GB Looney Tunes games were pretty solid and fun platformers.

GBC
--
-3-D Ultra Pinball - Thrillride - cart only (rumble cart) - The only '90s console 3D Ultra game... the PC 3D Ultra Pinball games were alright, but no match for Pro Pinball and such. This one's good though, it's one of the better '90s handheld pinball games I've played. Only one main table but it's a good one.

GBA

-Sigma Star Saga - for $2 and part of buy 2 get one free, why not... the story at least sounds a little interesting, even if gameplay is average.
Rayman: Hoodlum's Revenge - cart only, $4 -- Isometric platformer. The sidescrolling Rayman handheld games I've played (Rayman and Rayman 2 GBC, Rayman 3 GBA) are pretty good, we'll see about this one. Graphics are good at least.
-Super Ghouls & Ghosts - cart only, see above for pricing. This version has saving, so even though the audio, etc. is downgraded from the SNES, it's much more possible, though still extremely hard -- I've never gotten past level 2 in the SNES game (though for comparison I've beaten Ghouls & Ghosts on the Genesis, that game is much much easier). Saving helps a lot, though it's still hard.
-Phalanx - cart only, $3. I have the original SNES version of the game (that of the infamous banjo-playing-guy cover), but while that is surely the better version, this one has saving instead of infinite continues, and it's a good game and very cheap. Seems to be a solid port too.

Motocross Championship - $4, cart only -- Not a good game, but it's a 32X game I don't have (that isn't a sports or wrestling game), so I had to get it anyway.

DS
--
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Ring of Fates - $12, card only - we'll see.

GBA
--
Final Fantasy V Advance - $8, cart only - I played a little of this emulated and it seemed alright for an old FF, kind of dull of course like all of them but at least the job system adds a bit of interest.
Iridion II - $5, cart only - Good but not great shmup with great graphics, from Shin'en (Nanostray, Iridion, etc.). Shin'en's shmups all have better graphics than gameplay, but are fun enough to be worth playing.

Game Boy
--
Conker's Pocket Tales - $5, cart in plastic case only
Qarth - $5, cart in plastic case only - somewhat unique game

PSX
--
Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage - $2, complete - Now I have all three of them. Haven't played any yet though.

NES
--
Codename Viper - $5, cart in sleeve - heard this one was good.
Bubble Bobble - $5 - worth more than that for sure...
Ninja Crusaders - $5, cart only - mediocre to average game

N64
--
Duke Nukem: Zero Hour - $5, cart only

Also I got a complete (game with box, manual, and cardboard insert) copy of Ogre Battle 64, for $5. I own this already of course, but it's worth a lot more than that (the box isn't in great shape, but it's there at least), so either I'll give it to my cousins as a gift if they don't have it already or sell it. Even cart only copies of this game go for at least $20 on ebay, so it could be worth $30-40 at least...
