[kafa111]

Well i wanted to make the thread, but i also found NES Teenage mutant ninja turtle arcade game

[sfchakan]

Got some decently cheap stuff today. I apologize about the poor photos. The lighting in the room sucks and they came out blurry. Oh well. :P

I struck out at all of the yard sales, no games. The majority of this stuff came from a Pawn Shop doing a sidewalk sale to dump a lot of inventory.

Everything in the first photo was $1 each

A couple shirts arrived today that I had been waiting for.

The first one was one of the $10 daily shirts from TeeFury from a week or so ago...

Yes, I'm well aware Samus Aran isn't one of his creations but who else would the three of them work for these days? I just really liked the design and how close it comes to the source material...

http://sjisasillyboy.tripod.com/tour/logo4.jpg

Also the California Extreme 15 shirts I had on order since like early August finally arrived. I learned at the 2010 show it was just easier to order any shirts when they go on reprint rather than blow an hour in line to buy one at the show and then hope they still have the design you want.

Got these for $6 total today. Vice: Project Doom is awesome. The Genesis game is Gods.

[joshnickerson]

Picked up this gem at a yard sale I almost skipped.

$5 :D

My only problem with him is that he keeps asking me for a gyro, and then he didn't even eat the damn sandwich.

[Steve W]

I was planning on going flea market hunting today, but slept badly, stayed in bed too late, and just goofed off the rest of the day. I ended up going to a Movie Trading Company and buying ThunderFox and Skeleton Krew (loose) for the Genesis, and an Atari 5200 power supply. $4.99, $9.99, and $7.99 respectively.

[The 1 2 P]

http://i494.photobucket.com/albums/rr306/THE-1-2-P/GEDC0866.jpg

Marvel Ultimate Alliance(PS3) $4.98
Metroid: Other M kiosk demo(Wii) $3
Sin & Punishment kiosk demo(Wii) $3
Super Mario Bros. Deluxe(GBC) $3
Halo: The Fall of Reach novel 50 cents
Halo: The Flood novel 50 cents
Halo: First Strike novel 50 cents

Most of these were Goodwill finds. Super Mario Bros Deluxe was complete.....with a copy of Mortal Kombat 2 inside. But atleast I looked into the box before buying it. I just need to find a cheap copy of the cart. I saw one at a flea market yesterday but he wanted $10 for it and I could only talk him down to $8. That was still too much considering it goes for around $15 complete on the high end. MUA reminded me that almost every version of this game has something different about it. The back of the case says that the PS3 version received two exclusive characters. As for the kiosk demos, they are more show than go. But I'm keeping the sleeves.

http://i494.photobucket.com/albums/rr306/THE-1-2-P/GEDC0871.jpg

Hooking Up With Tila Tequila hardcover $2.50
Halo: The Cole Protocol novel $1.50
Halo: Ghost of Onxy novel $1.50
Star Wars: Knights of The Old Republic(Xbox) $5
Star Wars: Knights of The Old Republic 2(Xbox) $5
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind Game of The Year Edition(Xbox) $5
Mario Party 7(GC) sealed with mic $20

The books were all from Goodwill. Now I get to find out all about Tila Tequila....whoever she is. The games were from two seperate craigslist finds. One chic was selling a bunch of Xbox games for $5 each. She had tons of good games but I already owned most of them so I just took the things that interested me the most. Mario Party 7 and the mic was from another craigs list ad. He told me it was sealed with the mic but it turned out to be sealed with the mic included seperately(there are two versions of this game). But for $20 I still took it since thats how much Gamestop sells it for used. And it's actually worth alot more than $20 sealed.

I'm finally starting to get some good craigslist deals. For the longest time I either just missed them or they ended up being fake(where a person keeps listing the samething over and over and never gets back to you when you send him a message). But lately there have been a constant stream of good finds from legit people. Hopefully that continues. But what hopefully does not continue is all the bootlegg dvds and games I have found at some Goodwills lately. My local one knows me so well that they will throw them away as soon as I bring them to the register. One day they had 20 bootlegg Dreamcast games on the shelves that I got them to throw away.

F-Zero PC - $3
Jungle Green N64 w/ Expansion pack - $5
Dreamcast - $5

The drive in the dreamcast doesn't load games but the unit turns on and will load to the dashboard.

I found the opposite N64 not long ago. Normal black shell, but a jungle green slot protector (that part blocking Japan games). Weird...

Castlevania $2.50
Magna Carta $2.50
Robotica $1.99


http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h143/MaxAxe78/DSC01331.jpg

Did you find castlevania/Magna Carta in an online store or something cause those are awesome prices and I'd nab em :o

[Steve W]

Trader's Village or all the way out in Canton?
Neither... I went to the MTC in Fort Worth. I've never actually gone out to Canton before, mainly because I've heard it's not all that great for video games.

[maxlords]

Picked these up today:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v251/maxlords/DSC02396.jpg

And this....it's a 1st edition (2nd print possibly) and not a book club edition...:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v251/maxlords/DSC02383.jpg

I suspect it will fetch a few dollars....

[Collector_Gaming]

http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd158/car_show_fan/carshows2/GameGenieandharddrivinfinds.jpg

Was in Danbury CT for a car meet/show thing this past weekend. Looked on my iphone seeing if there was any game stores/goodwills or whatever to hit up in the area while i was around. And i found a Play n Trade game store. After hearing about these places from you guys and gals i been wanting to check it out. So i went to this one.
They had some SNES's (really nice condition) and genesis's (model 1's) for sale, Saw all kinds of NES controllers. Some i never even heard about. a nice selection of NES, SNES, Genesis games. Had some atari 2600. Even a handful of Odyssey 2 games (few CIB's!)

Didn't bring a million dollars with me so all i picked up were these 2 items. A Game Genie for the Genesis (paid 5 bucks for it and saw they were going for 10+ on ebay so thought i got a alright deal on it.)
Hard Drivin for the genesis (also 5 bucks which seems to be the going rate for a lose copy in alright shape).

[Jaruff]

Grabbed a lot of stuff on Saturday.

Boxed NES Games (they all look brand new, original Styrofoam and everything in the box)

Airwolf
Q*bert
Rad Racer (even came with those annoying 3D glasses)
Donkey Kong Classics
Gradius

Paid $30 for the set, also came with two controllers (also looked new), a light gun (once again, great condition) and all of the paper work for a NES. Basically, I got everything but a NES console and the box. I even have two old Toys R' Us receipts, one for $112 (games) and another for $200+ (console I guess). If anyone knows the value of DK Classics, I'd love to know. I know the other ones (besides Gradius) are worth ~$10. I wouldn't have got this but good karma paid off; I had helped this guy price some NES games he had (a few Zelda games, etc) and the guy selling beside him had the box of NES goodies. Guy showed him, the guy I helped directed him to me, and we made a deal.

Also picked up two of the old Donkey Kong drum sets for $1 each and a copy of Super Mario Sunshine (Gamecube) for $1. Then I grabbed this Oregon Scientific Weather Station module for $3. I was going to use it as an enclosure for a project but apparently these things still go for $40-50. Luck I guess. Oh yea, and a Wiimote for $5.

Here's a picture of the boxed Donkey Kong:

Genesis Games, All for 4.94
Toe Jam & Earl
Sonic 1
Ms Pac-Man

WordTris - 2.92

Professor Layton and Pandora's Box $3 (lady at the pawn shop thought it was a ps2 game, and they were having a sale on all ps2 games @ $3. her loss my gain:D)

[Steve W]

All I picked up today is a copy of Thunder and Lightning by Romstar for the NES, boxed. It also has the original shrinkwrap on it, badly damaged and with the top slit open to get the cartridge out of the box. $9.99.

[Dreadstar]

Dreamcast with cables, original controller, Pelican controller, working VMU and a copy of Soul Calibur for 21.98 at Goodwill yesterday. Probably paid a little too much but everything's clean and works great.

[InsaneDavid]

WordTris - 2.92

LOL Oh, Wordtris. My brother was playing that last year and there were all these seemingly non-words that it would take.

After waiting almost a month, my Castlevania hoodie came from RIPT...

http://www.classicplastic.net/digitalpress/finds/DP-Finds-2011-10-03%2801%29.jpg

It's a hair tight but should relax out, forgot how small American Apparel crap runs. RIPT has a great printer they use but the stock they print on isn't my preferred quality for shirts and whatnot.

[Collector_Gaming]

not gonna bother taking a pic again and uploading it again

picked up at goodwill a black label copy of Gran Turismo in good condition for 3 bucks.

[Sunnyvale]

A quick jaunt to the thrift store yielded this:
http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n629/ConneticutLeatherCompany/Picture408.jpg
Guardian War is Sealed, as is Speedball. The PS1 games w the silver price tag were .99, so I got them both. Zombies was $3. The rest were proced as marked.

[pollmonster]

I found them at Salvation Army

[Zama]

Today, I received my package from Amazon:

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a54/Zamioa/051760c7.jpg

- Dark Souls Collector's Edition (Brand New and Sealed)

I'm so excited to open it later tonight and check it out :popcorn:

[SpaceFlea]

Today, the elusive "clean cover" variant (on the right) of Speed Devils officially became a member of my collection.

http://i456.photobucket.com/albums/qq284/SpaceFlea/001-10.jpg

[SEGA_Queen]

Picked up two things so far:

Solatorobo: Red the Hunter $34.99 (New) - Xseed Games went the extra mile again, and released a lovely 1st print package. I've already ripped the music cd, and I'm listening to it as I type this!

Goof Troop for SNES $4.99 (Used, Cart Only) - I've been looking for this game for a while, and finally got lucky at Value Village.

[PapaStu]

Pic of only retail DC variant i'm missing

Where did you snag that, and sells it to me.

[theclaw]

Stayed on budget prices this time. Don't want to repeat the clutter build up I'm still fixing.

$10 Halo ODST / Forza 3
$10 black Gamecube with power supply
$2 silver GBA SP unit
$5 Battalion Wars
$3 Armored Core 2 Another Age
$5 A Boy and his Blob wii
$5 Space Bust A Move
$10 Invizimals disc with camera
$4 DSi car charge cable

[SpaceFlea]

Where did you snag that, and sells it to me.

Ebay, for a whopping $1.76 ($4.75 shipped). I happened upon it just 10 hours before auction end. Oh, the things that slip through the cracks these days. :)

If I come across another one you'd certainly be the first person I contact about it. But, as for the fate of this one, it will have to remain in my set for now. It's been a long time since something like this has fallen in my lap.

Works for me! A few have shown up on these forums of late. I check the Speed Devils stuff that shows up, and dig though lots (great way to find Sonic LE's by the way) on occasion. I guess I really need to do that more than I have been.

More finds:

StarTropics - $2
Zelda Majora's Mask - $6
Uniracers - $2

Dr. Mario/Tetris box and manual - $3
Pac Man - Free, it was inside the Dr. Mario Box, and didn't check it before i bought it.

[Kitsune Sniper]

z0mg I finally found stuff. Actually I picked up a bunch of House of Miniatures model kits for $12 but it's not worth showing them. Today, though...

Fall just got here. It was 105 on Sunday. On Monday we had a surprise storm which caused the usual flooding, knocked down some billboards onto cars, blew the roof off some buildings, and brought the temperatures to low to mid 80s.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j238/foxhack/DP/dp-2011-10-05a.jpg
Kill Chiba Collection (The Bullet Train, The Executioner, Golgo 13: Kowloon Assignment) Too bad they're dubbed, but eh.
Office: Mac 2004 Student Teacher Edition
Alvin and The Chipmunks: The Squeakwel (new)
Total: $5. Forgive me, for I have sinned and bought something beyond my level of "crap music"... I couldn't resist.

And I resisted buying the Bratz soundtrack later that morning. Then again, it had a hole through the UPC, which is a big no-no for me. Aheh. Um.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j238/foxhack/DP/dp-2011-10-05b.jpg
Streets of Rage CIB (some box damage)
Ryuichi Sakamoto: Sweet Revenge
The Jimmy Bruno Group: Midnight Blue
The Trip (motion picture score to a Roger Corman flick)
Limpopo: Give Us A Break
$5 total.

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j238/foxhack/DP/dp-2011-10-05c.jpg
Microsoft Home and Student 2007 - $5
Curtis Salgado / Terry Robb: Hit It 'n Quit It! (new) $1
Charles Wilson - Why? (new) - $1

... So the stupid find of the day was that Charles Wilson album. With song titles like "Part Time Lover, Full Time Fool", "Home Wrecker" and "Ain't Nothing Wrong With Cheating"... how could I not want this?

[camarotuner]

Nearly crapped myself when I walked into the pawn shop as I haven't found jack there in months...

http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu277/camarotuner13/Photo192.jpg

Paid 2 bucks per game. Blaster Master, Mega Man 2, 3, 4 and 6, SMB3, GI Joe Atlantis Factor, and 3 wisdom tree black carts King of Kings, Exodus, and Bible Adventures. I've never seen the wisdom tree games in the wild before. Pretty cool to find them.

All my local pawn shops would have charged $15 to $20....per game.

[camarotuner]

We have a couple local "dealers" who are so overpriced it's actually hilarious because all they do is complain they can't sell anything. No they never do seem to draw a line between those two things. Hell if the one was clean organized and intelligent he'd have one of the best stocked vintage gaming stores anywhere. But it's all gross disorganized mess that you don't want to touch without gloves on and he's about as sharp as a mallet. Our pawn shops did go high priced for a while (about a year) but realized shit wasn't selling at those prices so everythings gone back to "normal" now.

Solatorobo - $35 from EB Games

Finally got my hands on a copy! After some trouble with the store I ordered from online, I was able to get the last copy from a local EB. They got in three copies, and two were preorders. Interestingly the outer box was sealed - I saw some Americans complain their Gamestop copies weren't.

[Jaruff]

All my local pawn shops would have charged $15 to $20....per game.

Mine charge $10 each, $15 for Mario games. Also charges $35 for the original Gameboy. Actually works out because I take him all of the common/worthless games I find. I've received two solid guns and good money out of trades involving shit games. The funny thing; he finds a way to sell these things.

Funny. The local flea market does that too. Anything with Mario on it, all the Mexicans try to push fpor $20+, even a cart only copy of Mario Paint. I bought a copy of Legend of Dragoon there from the same guy for $5, missing the manual, and it sold on eBay for $25. Lulz was had.

I'm not sure if they realize Mario is Italian and not Mexican.

[NCN]

Stopped by Half Price Books yesterday to pick up a few PS2 games to start my collection. I headed to the clearance area and found these, all complete:

Gallop Racer 2006 (in 2004 case)
Kessen
Metal Gear Solid 2
Metal Gear Solid 3
Phantasy Star Universe


...$2 each. Not a bad start.

I also hit GameStop to pick up a Sony memory card for $10 and a Logitech Wireless for $13. I think I'm pretty well set for a while.

[ownerizer]

I really enjoyed the Metal Gear Solid series.

[Sunnyvale]

As yard sale season dies down, those of us who make our livings off Ebay n whatnot can expect to find many of ourselves selling off the 'Ebay losers' as I call them in yard sales of their own. Those things they couldn't sell, they try to get rid of for a little cash. I ran into one of these guys today and got all this for $1 each:
http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n629/ConneticutLeatherCompany/Picture458.jpg
As I was leaving, he handed my the '9/11 was an inside job' flyer. Now I'm a skeptic, not religious, spiritual, no aliens visiting earth, any of that. I do realize, however, many aren't. Specially in the locale this was produced:
http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n629/ConneticutLeatherCompany/Picture459.jpg
It was destined for the trash, but, being a good human, I couldn't waste the paper:

Go Green!

[NCN]

I really enjoyed the Metal Gear Solid series.

I never really played much of the series. Played through the original MGS and am thus far about half way through Peace Walker. I am going to start 2 tonight. =D

[SparTonberry]

Interestingly the outer box was sealed - I saw some Americans complain their Gamestop copies weren't.

Oh mine was sealed... because I pre-ordered it online.
BUT it was a bit dented because GameStop decided to mail it in a padded envelope that's like quadruple the size of the game.
Makes me want to shop amazon next time. Seems they've heard of cardboard, appropriately sized and/or with air-cushion bags.

Go Green!

Thats one of the best uses for propaganda that I've seen in a long time. Go green indeed.

[Baloo]

First video game find in a while for me:

Thunder Force 3 Genesis (With Box, no manual)
2 Copies of Pokemon Sapphire
Pokemon Blue
Pokemon Red
Pokemon Silver
Pokemon Leafgreen

$28 At my church's flea market. Pokemon games were cart only.

[Jaruff]

Fuck yea!

Not my find but just got off the phone with my uncle. He found me a working Sega CDX with a lot of games and stuff for ...

$20

I finally have one of these bastards in my collection. I'll have it in a few weeks when I see him. Great day.

I didn't find anything that awesome but did pick up a Game Boy Pocket for $1 and GTALCS (PSP) for $3. Also picked up the other non-gaming stuff that I usually get around here such as tools.

But damn, a CDX. I just happened to call him and he was about to call me because he was looking at one. The hilarious part; the guy was selling this because he bought a PS3. ROFL

Makes up for the Craigslist deal that fell through for me earlier in the week.

Picked these up yesterday from Value Village for about $2 each. I've never found bootleg Genesis games before, which is what I'm assuming they are unless someone tells me something different. I ended up leaving 2 or 3 but I grabbed the most interesting of the bunch that they had.

Sorry for the crappy picture. I'm most excited about Sonic & Knuckles, Castlevania and the 2 in 1 with Socket and Spinball.

You're not crazy, those are all boots. Nice finds all the same - I too am interested to hear about the boot S&K since it doesn't appear to have lock-on technology, hah.

[Gameguy]

I too am interested to hear about the boot S&K since it doesn't appear to have lock-on technology, hah.
I have that same bootleg with the box, there is no lock-on so it can only be played by itself. I also have a bootleg Sonic 3 in box with no save feature, the box art for this actually looks close to the real one. You can only tell the box is fake when it's beside a real one. I'm actually trying to sell my bootlegs on Kijiji if you're interested, I don't really need them so I'm clearing space. In case anyone is wondering I'm clearly telling people that they're bootlegs when I get replies for them, even though I posted pics some people still think they're legit until I tell them otherwise.

[joshnickerson]

Only thing of note this week is a copy of Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past I found at the flea market for $3. It was marked as an "unknown" game, since nearly all of the label had been torn off, but I was able to recognize the top corner of the "Z" in the tiny scrap of label that was left.

Hmm, I'm not sure if that can be considered impressive or just SAD that I was able to do that...

[Sunnyvale]

Thats one of the best uses for propaganda that I've seen in a long time. Go green indeed.

Thanks, but not nearly as absorbent as I'd like :ass:

Not a bad day today:

All that for $45. Skitchin' is missing the manual, the rest are complete. Also got a handful of loose carts, but eh. And the Super Soaker... If it says 'Larami' on it, get it. You'll thank me later. And these:
http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n629/ConneticutLeatherCompany/Picture463.jpg
Finding these with the original headphones is rare, but 2 in the same day?!? Never for me. $1 for the dirty one, $2 for the clean.

2 PC Games (CIJ) - 1
The Morrowind Prophecies GOTYE Guide .25
Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Complete) - 15
Playstation 2 With Controller & Hookups - 2
Red Dead Redemption (360, Complete Including Map) - 5
Crash Games - 4ish
4 SNES, 2 N64 & Mario Kart Double Dash (No Manual) - 15

The 2 PC games were actually from the regular at the flea market on 9-25-11 and were asking .50 each. Guide was asking price at a church sale and SMG2 was marked 25 offerd to do 15 and I bit. SMG2 and the guide were actually from 9-24-11.

Playstation 2 was asking price, RDR was asking 10 to which I offered 5....check inside with Jr and while reluctant it was accepted. The crash games were 2 each and I got a .50 CD added in with them, Crash Bash is actually Crash 2 (GH) with the wrong manual. The last bundle I actually offered 10 for 4 games that were marked 12 then got Doom 64 added in for 2 (marked 3) then actaully stoppped back and offered 3 for both of the Star Wars games (marked 3 each) by this time only a younger kid out watching the sale and for some unknow reason he told me that 2 for both would be ok from my offer of 3 but I wasen't going to complain.

Boxed NES With Hookups Controllers, 13 Games & Super Mario 3 Guide - 51

Asked about video games and this was brought out along with some Game Boy stuff. I was ready for trouble as it was brought out and put down and the one lady was counting the games while the other lady told me to hold on as the other tallied it up and it wasen't like I wasen't giving them space I was planing on staying back and giving them space till the lady looking at the stuff was done. After I looked it over I was told 25 for each (original) Game Boy system, 35 for the NES and 5 per a game....cutting to the end of it after a long battle I ended up just going with the NES stuff for 50, the guide was put aside and I mentioned that it goes with the NES stuff to which I wasen't allowed to take it with the NES stuff and pointed out that it goes with Mario 3 to which the lady said she realized this but that it didn't come with the game and you would have to buy it seperately at a store.....I did want it since I don't have one and she only asked another dollar for it but I told her that she is one tough cookie after all this to which she appropriately shot back at me with I was tough also.

Xbox 360 Box Only - Free
Image Fight & Caliber .50 - 5
Sonic & Knuckles Collection (CIJ) - .50
Interact CD Holder Thing - 1
TI-86 With Packaging, Book & Cord - 1
Bill Goldberg I'm Next - 1
Star Wars Shadows of The Empire - 1
Game Boy Advance System With Some Misc - 2
PSone System Boxed (No A/V Cord but it did have a generic memory card), 5 PS1 Games, Grabbed By The Ghoulies (Disk Only) & A Quarter - 6

I got the empty Xbox box last Sunday when I helped a friend move, it was in the attic at his new place. The next two cart only games I got this past Monday at the pawn shop and was spared the tax on them. Sonic & Knuckles was asking price, the CD Wallet was at a sale with no prices (donate what you want for it) and was all going to a cat shelter. TI-86 asked 3 and took a buck. The last four were all from a flea market they do twice a year around here, the book and GBA system were both asking price. N64 game asked 2 took 1. The last find I was told all of the games were .50 each so I picked out 6 and asked about the PSone and was told it was 5 and I noticed no A/V cord and offered 6 for all. The box seems to be missing 1 half of the styrofoam and minor things like bags for the controller, cords etc but it did include the paperwork that came with the system. The quarter I found when I got home in the plastic bag I was given for the system :D

So these are from yardsales thru out the week and a flea market visit or two:

http://i494.photobucket.com/albums/rr306/THE-1-2-P/GEDC0873.jpg

Castlevania: Lament of Innocence(PS2) and strategy guide $5
Final Fantasy Chronicles(PS1) $4
Third Party Saturn Controller $1
Mega Man 64(N64) $1
Rampage 2: Universal Tour(N64) 50 cents
Fatal Fury(Gen) 50 cents
Castlevania: Circle of The Moon(GBA) $2
Castlevania: Circle of The Moon(GBA) $1

This was from a yardsale. There were two big video game themed yard sales advertised on craigs list so I figured the majority of my competition would go to one of those places. And I was right. So I got to pick and choose what I wanted from this place. I passed on a few other things(including Metroid 2 with a torn beat up lable and a few 360 games) but I got the majority of what I wanted. I wish the GBA games were boxed but I suppose I can always pick up an orphan for it later. The mad cats controller looks exactly like the normal Saturn controllers except for the slow and turbo buttons.

http://i494.photobucket.com/albums/rr306/THE-1-2-P/GEDC0872.jpg

Bring It On: Again dvd $1

Microsoft Office 97 Small Business Edition(Pc) 50 cents
Microsoft Office 97 Professional Edition(Pc) 50 cents

Photo Play(Pc) 50 cents

Grand total: $11(they gave me a discount for some reason)

Before I get into the actual finds I need to tell you about the yardsale. In other words: story time. So I was heading to a yardsale where there was going to be a complete cd-i system for $10 with one game. On the way there I passed a church on a main road where cars were lined up thru out the road because there were too many in the parking lot. I'd actually been down this way before so it was no big deal seeing lots of people here for a yardsale. But there was something strange at the front door: a waiting line to get in that stretched around the church. When's the last time you saw a waiting line to get into a normal yardsale?

But I kept going because the place I was going to was another few miles up the road. I got there and there was no one outside and no merchandise. There was a women in a minivan behind me and she too was there for the yardsale. But this person either canceled last minute or didn't wake up. I hate when people do that shit. So I had went all that way for nothing. On the way back I decided to check out the church yardsale, as to atleast try to savage something for my trip that took me around an hour to arrive.

So I park on the far end of the street(which was smart because the other end were being ticketed by a cop as I left who was working his way up) and head to the door, which thankfully no longer had a line. As soon as I walk in I am giving two big ass shopping bags. I'm thinking "how do yall even know I'm going to get anything?" I go into what appears to be the main room and it's crowded with people and has tables filled with merchandise. The first thing I see of interest is the GBA SP special edition for $4. I grab it and look around for who I pay. Theres no one at the table so I ask the gentleman in front of me and he seems even more clueless than me. No more than 2 minutes later theres a voice over the PA system saying that the way this works is that you grab what ever you want while shopping room to room and can pay either the cashiers at the doors of each room or when you leave. Say what?

So basically you were to go from room to room and fill your bag with merchandise and didn't have to pay until you left. To give you another example of what this was like: imagine shopping at your local mall. But instead of paying at Gamestop once you pick out what you want you go directly to Macy's and then Hot Topic and then to Victoria's Secret(my favorite). I kept feeling like I was stealing from them each time I stuffed more stuff in my bag and took off to the next room. I asked one of the volunteers what kind of sale this was(I thought it was the fabled rummage sale) but she told me they just call it a normal yardsale. Definitely not like any I've been to before.

So onto my finds. The GBA is in excellent condition except that it's missing the Donkey Kong game and it's adapter/charger. I don't care about the DK game but I wish the charger was there. Now I need to search out a new one. But for $4 I can't really complain. Halo 2 had everything inside except the game disc. It even has a 2 month code for XBL. I didn't know the disc was missing when I picked it up but thats because I was just happy to find more Bring It On movies. But it was only a $1 so the disc isn't a biggie. I thought Silent Hill was a demo disc. The disc was taped to the front of what I thought was the disc sleeve and at a mere $1 I was going to get it anyway. It wasn't until I got home that I realized it was actually the whole game.

The Teen Titans game is sealed but smashed. And the Pc software was cool but I'm wondering how much better software I would have found had I gotten there earlier. And then theres the Pertelian X2040 thingie. I couldn't find any on ebay or amazon(I might have searched wrong though). Inside the box it's sealed so it's definitely new but I don't know what it is. It has a long list of bullet points on the back like chatting in game thru IM's, media player controls, Stock ticker and US weather forecast but I'm still clueless as to what it's ultimately suppose to be.

Original Xbox controller S sealed $10
Action Replay(PS2) $10
Gameshark 2(PS2) $5
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow(DS) $5
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin(DS) $5
Jump: Ultimate Stars(DS) $5
Pokemon Soul Silver(DS) $5

Next was a flea market. Those were good DS finds but I actually passed on two Phoenix Wright games for the same price because I didn't know if they were worth anything. Big mistake because I found out later online that they were. Those original Xbox controllers are really hard to come by sealed but luckily this is my third one. I wasn't sure how much the AR goes for but I sold a similiar GS2 before for $70 so I grabbed them both.

http://i494.photobucket.com/albums/rr306/THE-1-2-P/GEDC0875.jpg

Counter Strike(Xbox) $3
Conker: Live And Reloaded(Xbox) $3
Underworld: Blood Enemy novel 50 cents
Shinobi III(Gen) $5
Streets of Rage III(Gen) $5
Gunstar Heroes(Gen) $5

The Genesis games were a craigslist find. The two Xbox games were from Goodwill. It's the first time I've seen Conker in the wild after learning that it's worth some money. And I've always wanted to check out Counter Strike because of it's popularity and the fact that I love shooters. And I'm currently reading the Underworld novel, which is the basis for the third movie Rise of The Lycans.

http://i494.photobucket.com/albums/rr306/THE-1-2-P/GEDC0909.jpg

Crysis strategy guide sealed $5
Action Replay(PS2) $10
Angel vhs movie $1
Hacker's Toolkit 2.0 $3

I went back to that flea market the next day to see if the dude with the DS games would return but he didn't. So I grabbed a few other things, including the Crysis strategy guide. Now that the game just released on XBL it might come in handy. The Hacker's Toolkit is suppose to teach people how to hack like the pro's. Somehow I don't think it works that easily.

http://i494.photobucket.com/albums/rr306/THE-1-2-P/GEDC0921.jpg

Kingdom Hearts(PS2) $3
Link's Crossbow Training(Wii) $3
Megaman X5(PS1) $3
God of War: Origin Collection(PS3) $15

These were my final two stops. Everything but the GOW collection was found at Goodwill. The GOW collection was on sale at Best Buy and I used a coupon to make it even cheaper.

So the local flea market (indoor type) was having a "garage sale" today. Always interesting stuff to find so off I went. One guy had a TON of video games and ALL of them were so insanely overpriced it wasn't even funny. But all was not lost as I found...

http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu277/camarotuner13/Photo195.jpg

20 bucks. A/V cable, first party small controller and the power supply. It's very very clean with very little scratches to it. Finally caved in and bought one since I now own around 50 xbox titles and no system lol.

http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu277/camarotuner13/Photo197.jpg

10 bucks. A/V cable, first party controller, power supply, gameboy player with the all important startup disc in it's own storage case with a slip cover. This thing is freaking MINT it doesn't look like it was ever used much.

http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu277/camarotuner13/Photo198.jpg

20 bucks. Pioneer laserdisc player. Last one I bought on ebay was DOA. This is an "industrial" model or something like that. Whatever it is it's in nearly flawless shape and works perfectly. No controller but I really don't care. Been trying to nab a LD player for a while now without going back to ebay and was *just* about to give up and buy one when I found this.

http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu277/camarotuner13/Photo196.jpg

35 bucks. This came from a DP user who's name I forgot. If youre the guy who sold it to me PM me so I can leave you good feedback as it's in great condition all it needed was a 1 dollar watch battery.

So productive day adding to my hardware collection but not a single game. Oh well.

[Jaruff]

Reminds me that I have a couple of Saturn systems I need to sell on here.


Congrats.

Thanks. I just finished speaking to him again and here is what I got:

CDX system
CDX instruction manual
NBA Jam
Sega Classics
Sonic CD
SNES Super Mario World manual
Legend of Zelda manual
SNES instruction manual
2x Winning Tips for the NES
Old copy of Gamepro - he told me it had a NES on the cover for anyone familiar with those magazines

I asked him if the guy had any SNES stuff there and apparently he sold it or didn't want to get rid of it. He told me it was a collection so I assumed a bunch of old common games but I'll happily take the manuals and magazines.

[theclaw]

CDX is epic. Be sure to grab a right power supply. And yes, Power Base Converter will fit. Don't need to open the CD tray in Master System games.

Oh yea, I mentioned in my first post (I think I did anyway) that the power supply came with it. :D

The guy told my uncle that he and his kids used it until a few weeks ago. A PS3 apparently replaced it. Go figure.

I'm selling at the flea market tomorrow with my uncle so he'll give it to me then. If I'm not too tired I'll get some pictures online tomorrow afternoon.

Pretty good week for me last week. On one day I went to a retro game store and picked up some games for that system and they were a great deal! Then I stopped by that used movie/game chain store and picked up some other games for a different old system. Those prices weren't as good but the games are really awesome. All in all it's been so dry here that finding these cool games for those awesome systems is totally great - plus they were so cheap!

This is totally one of the best joke posts I've ever seen. Er, or maybe one of the best drunk posts I've ever seen? It is just so vague and promising that it has to be one of those two options. Maybe I'm missing a third? I happen to be at least tipsy posting, so I could be missing something. Ooooh, it just occurred to me that we who post in this thread are being mocked! That's totally fantastic! I love it!

Doooood!!!!
I totally need that stuff for that one system that you got a good dry deal on! I'll trade you whatever you need for that other system, I got a better deal than you I think on those. Maybe we could just both combine our shit n make a lot and sell on the bay of shit n poo?
Do these posts actually count towards my (or his) next level?

[Porksta]

Decided to go to the Yongsan Electronics Market today, which is essentially Korea's Akihabara. After I waded through all the Korean games, and all the Japanese games, and all the bootlegs I found nothing but high prices. ~$30 for a cart only Ocarina of Time? ~$20 for Pokemon Gold? After a while I just stopped asking people the prices unless it was something really valuable. I saw US versions for every system except oddly the PS1. I also saw the Blu Ray for Oldboy that I wanted but the guy wanted ~$17 for it, after I left the guy next to him said he could burn it for me right then and there for less. I passed. But I did find one thing. One of the few US Dreamcast games I saw. This game is pretty much mint, I think the only problem was that the manual had a few specks of dust on it. Paid about $13 for it, so I should make some money.

4 Switch Atari 2600 With Hookups, 2 Controllers & 4 Games (Starmaster Complete, Other 3 Boxed) - 20
6 NES Games - 5

Atari with games was 35 I offered 15 to which the lady said she didn't want to go lower then 25, I started to walk away and her Husband said to her that 20 would be ok so I ended up doing that. The NES games were marked 2 each from a regular that hasen't really had any older cart games this year but used to pretty regularly, took 5 for all of them.

Sadly, I was just sitting and reading and realizing that I haven't posted this month yet, and off the top of my head I couldn't remember the specifics of my recent finds, so this is what came out instead. The stories are actually true - I did find different stuff at different stores, just don't have the details handy!

[Deadman]

Damn you! I've been looking for that one forever! If you ever decide to sell it PLEASE message me!

Sorry brother. I know that you know how hard that one is to find so it's probably staying here for a while. Remember that last time, when I spotted it (along with that add-on part thing) at that store where people sell stuff that other people don't want anymore? I mean, come on, that was a once in a lifetime deal but I just couldn't do it then, so I'm very happy now that I got a second chance at it. Good luck at the game store place looking for yours copy of it.
