September 2012 finds

[Jaruff]

It won't work. That "Intel only" thing just means it won't work on PowerPC based Macs.

Try selling it on eBay, Mac users love to pay way too much money for games. :P

Edit: I got some stuff yesterday and today.

Yesterday: An Iomega Zip drive baggie, Paper Mario (N64 cart only) for $3, Alpha Centauri for Mac and an Iomega SCSI Zip PCMCIA card for $3.

Today: Warcraft II Battle.net and III w/Expansion for $4.

Oh yes they are and I love it. My NIB copy of Doom II finally sold last month for $40. I'll just throw it on for something with Best Offer attached. Good find on that Alpha Centauri. I know those SCSI cards are worth a bit too; I had one a few years ago. Very useful for music production.


Over paid

;)

Trust me, I know. I remember playing that game briefly back in the late 90's. However, I'm going to the flea market tomorrow with a carload of stuff I don't want at my new house and common SNES games are always an easy sale for me at $2-3 apiece.

[DigitalSpace]

Got a couple PS1 games today:

NBA Showtime: NBA on NBC (complete) - 50 cents
Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus (complete) - $2

Motion Gravure: Harumi Nemoto(PS2) $30
Sailor Moon Super S: Pegasus Collection II dvd $3
Rumble Roses(PS2) $3.33
Deus Ex(PS2) $3.33
Super Real Mahjong VII(SAT) $10
Bust A Move 2 variant cover(PS1) $17
Marvel Vs. Capcom(DC) $2
Di Gi Charat Fantasy(DC) $3.33

The two PS2 and import Dreamcast game were $10 total(marked down from their original $12). They were from a yard sale and I've been looking for a copy of Deus Ex to play for awhile. But right now I still have my import PS2 system hooked up so it will still be awhile before I get to play it. And I picked up the import game because it was the only one there but I know nothing about it. The Sailor Moon dvd was another Goodwill find and the third Sailor Moon dvd I've found there the last few weeks. I just hope some of these are worth something.

Motion Gravure and Super Real Mahjong were online finds, as was Bust A Move 2. I own US and Japanese copies of Bust A Groove/Move 1 and 2, including the limited edition Japanese version of Bust A Move 1 but I never even knew there was a variant cover to Bust A Move 2. Well technically it's a variant manual and alternate back case color but still something unique for the collection.

http://i494.photobucket.com/albums/rr306/THE-1-2-P/GEDC1944_zpsc1581cf4.jpg

Sorority Row dvd $2
I Know Who Killed Me dvd $2
Kick Ass dvd $1
Microsoft Money Premium 2005 50 cents
Trinity Blood: The Complete Collection $3
Luigi toy 25 cents
DDR: Mario Mix(GC)
Sonic Adventure DX(GC)
Super Mario Sunshine(GC)
Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door(GC)
Gameshark 2(PS2) 25 cents
Bangles cd $1
Assassin's Creed II strategy guide $2
Magna Carta 2 strategy guide $2
Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion strategy guide $2
Fallout 3 strategy guide $2

I got all of this stuff from a community yard sale today and a flea market on the way back. The four Gamecube games were $5 total, marked down from $8(they were $2 each). I wish the games for those strategy guides had also been for sale since I still need Assassin's Creed II and have been looking for Magna Carta 2 as well. There was no key for the Microsoft Money software and I can't remember if the last one I sold had one or not(it was sometime last year) but I hope it's still ok to sell.

And the most memorable moment of today was when I bought Kick Ass for $1 from a kid who couldn't have been any older than 9, though I would have probably pegged him at 7. His mom was sitting on the porch while he was on the lawn watching all the merchandise. After I bought it he ran running to his mom saying "I just sold Kick Ass for $1" but she couldn't hear him so he kept repeating it over and over. So here's this little kid running around yelling how he just sold Kick Ass and his mom just looking at him as if he always talks that wayLOL

<EDIT> Never mind

[Kitsune Sniper]

The pink one works on Genesis and SNES. It was very rarely found in the wild, Konami mostly sold it via mail order according to other threads I've seen here over the years. I have one too but I haven't tested it yet.

[The Adventurer]

Fourth time wasn't quite the charm at the Drive-In. I had toyed with the idea of going to another local flea market this morning, instead of my usual. But my opinion of it is kinda mixed, as its mostly an indoors/semi-permanent stall flea market. Which means it can be tough to find deals. I was going to go if it was raining, but it cleared up. So I did my usual run, and... this was probably my worst week. I think I got disheartened when I didn't find much in the way of scores early on. So I tried a little too hard, when I should have saved my money for next time.

Anyway, this is what I scored...

http://imageshack.us/a/img841/3817/mansfielddrivein4.jpg

Street Fighter IV (PS3) $10 - I don't really know why I bought this. I don't have a PS3, and if I did Super Street Fighter IV is the current standard. I guess I got kinda caught up in bargining for it. I picked it up, and the guy said 20, I said 10. He said 15, I didn't budge and started putting it back, then he said 10. So I felt obligated to pay for it.
Ms. Pac-Man (GEN) w/ manual $1 - Hey, it was a buck.
Dino Crisis (PS1) $2 - Briefly thought I goofed on buying this game, as the back said 2-disc set, and it only had the one game disc. Turns out the second disc was a demo. So at least I have the full game, if not the full set. *phew*
Tekken 2 (PS1) $3
Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back (PS1) $2 - Been wanting to play this game since The Completionist talked about it.
Kingdom Hearts 2 (PS2) wo/case $2 - Found it loose in a binder full of disc based games. Its scratched up a bit, but for $2 I figured it was worth a shot in the dark to have a copy handy.
Sega Genesis Model 2 w/controller $5 - For five bucks I figured it was a steal. No AV or RF connector though. Which sucks because I'm hunting for a Gen AV cable and having no luck. Probably gonna have to buy online if I want it.
Sega Dreamcast Controller $5 - Felt I over payed on this one, and because I still don't have an AV cable for the Dreamcast I got last week its not like I NEEDED it very badly yet. Also bought it from a seller I rather loath (over priced, dirty equipment, never haggles, etc...)

So yeah... kind of a dud of a day. Got some stuff, but nothing too exciting. Gotta learn to relax and not jump at the first 'deal' I run across if I'm running dry. Next week I think I'll try the other flea market, just to change things up a bit. though I have my doubts about what I'll find there.

EDIT: Apparently that's Kingdom Hearts 2, not 1.

[Cornelius]

Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back (PS1) $2 - Been wanting to play this game since The Completionist talked about it.


You should play it, and if you plan to get through it quickly, you could lock-in an Amazon trade-in on it. It has an unusually high value right now.

[Videogamerdaryll]

I need to look into this: Amazon trade-in (I never heard of it)

I am pretty sure I have this game in a big box of ps1 games waiting for me to get the time to list them on ebay..
Maybe I could do better on Amazon with the games?

[Collector_Gaming]

Another non video game purchase. I know i know I been making alot of those lately. But gotta admit these are some pretty cool purchases i think.

This one probably one of the more creepier items I have ever bought.

Who is ready for the post appocalypse world? Is your child ready? If not better get one of these

http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc6/267526_4629573055684_234710827_n.jpg

Yes its a real working childs sized gas mask. Bought it for 15 bucks at a local pickers store. Saw it in a case and the size and what it was pulled me in next i knew a 20 dollar bill was on the counter with me yelling "TAKE MY MONEY!"

I am always looking for a shock factor in events I goto and I think this will be a great ornament for car shows i goto

[Jaruff]

Picked up a couple of things at the flea market I sold at today.

- Sega Genesis Model 1 (HD Graphics) with Sega power supply and Sonic 1 - $10 (easy money for me as I'll AV mod it and I have a box of controllers).
- Black Vintage Western Electric Phone - $5
- Dremel Multi Pro 395 with some extras - $20
- Old car audio components: one sub and one equalizer - $6
- An old Tomy Digital Derby - $2
- Traded a worthless ($10-15 max) Yamaha turntable for some PC games and two of those Jakks Pacific TV games. One is shaped like a cocktail table and the other is a 5-in-1 I believe. Still in my car. I hate shipping turntables so I'm more than happy with what I received.
- Bought Ico/Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid HD Edition, and Brink at my local GameStop. I had $60 in pre-orders I had to cancel (moving 2+ hours away) and those are three games I've been wanting to play. Plus, the GameStop prices were surprisingly within the current eBay market pries.
- Cheap pair of Vivitar binoculars for $1. Good for resale.

[plaidbrad3141]

Some recent finds. Yoshi's Story $1 from a local pawn. Airlock (2600) from a garage sale run by another collector, $5 complete. He had some good stuff with good for him prices.:) X-Men for Saturn (complete) $12 from game store. Guardian Heroes for Saturn (complete)was $35 but after some trade in was about $18. Xenoblade was full price at Gamestop $50, had to bite the bullet as it is a Gamestop exclusive.

[Baloo]

Man, the game store priced Guardian Heroes CIB at $35? I'm surprised that wasn't bought right after it hit the floor.

It was...by me. The girl that rung it up said it had just gone out.

[Sailorneorune]

Reasonably-priced Guardian Heroes? Cool. I picked up Ogre Battle 64 (cart only, and required quite a bit of cleaning on its connectors) for $10. One of my friends doesn't have a Wii yet, so no Virtual Console for her until November (Wii U time!), where she'd be able to get OB64 for the same price. Been looking for some good games to tide us over until then (can't read AAI2 and Xenoblade is pissing me off).

This weekend goodwill finds. Recently moved to the Memphis area, and my first few visits yielded nothing, however things are looking up.

Everything picture was $.99 each.

Craigslist with Contra for 25.

Nice Crystalis find. I just got back from the goodwill myself, nothing very exciting.

http://imageshack.us/a/img11/1656/goodwill1.jpg
A buck each. Got Tiger Woods to cannibalis the case

Also picked up a bigger old TV. One with S-Video and Component hook-ups. $3. It didn't have a remote, but as luck would have it, my old TV's remote worked. I figured they were same-brand-enough to be compatible.

http://imageshack.us/a/img9/2763/goodwill2i.jpg

$2.99. Though as I was walking out the door there was a PA announcement that 'all TVs .99 cents'... so... fartz

If finding Shaq-Fu is your idea of "things looking up" I'd hate to be around when you hit rock bottom :D ;)

Hey its complete. At least its not E.T. for Atari.

[camarotuner]

E.T. is better lol

[Enmity]

Not when it comes to being a find.

A complete Shaq Fu is worth more than a complete E.T.? I actually find that surprising.

[Enmity]

A complete Shaq Fu is worth more than a complete E.T.? I actually find that surprising.

I never said anything about worth, but I would rather find a complete Shaq-FU then an ET. I don't normally buy just to flip so when I come across something in the wild its an interest thing. E.T. as a game is far worse then Shaq-Fu making it worse to come by to me. Neither of them are good either way.

I actually think ET is a better game than Shaq Fu. But we're now debating being shit in the head vs being hit in the head by an axe. Either way it sucks lol.

[Cornelius]

Haven't been out for any serious hunting for a couple weeks. Fortunately Amazon has been a bonanza for trade-ins, so I've done very well with my gaming fund! And I was able to stop by Goodwill yesterday and pulled this PS2 out of the bins before they were unloaded to the shelves (14.99 haven't tested yet, do they still sell for more if broken?). Warcraft was in with the CDs (2.99). And then stopped at a garage sale on the way home and got the converter box for $1.

http://i707.photobucket.com/albums/ww75/evanwink42/Snapbucket/BF29D95F-orig.jpg

[theclaw]

Fat PS2 is more desirable. With patience broken ones on ebay can get about $30 before shipping. Rumor goes people hack and resell them, or something. I dunno.

[Kitsune Sniper]

I haven't been posting stuff lately, so here's all my weekly finds:

Monday:
http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j238/foxhack/DP/dp-2012-09-24.jpg
Quest for Glory V
Monkey Island Madness
Maniac Mansion: Day of the Tentacle / Sam and Max Hit The Road
$6 for all four

Tuesday:
http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j238/foxhack/DP/dp-2012-09-25.jpg
Wallobee Jack: The Thai Sun Adventure - $1
Paper Planes - $1
Basia - Time and Tide - $1
Gamecube Component Cable - not telling :P Someone's already asked to buy it.

So, that cable. I made a reseller get really pissed off because I grabbed it before he did. I saw it, asked for a price, paid, and walked away. A few minutes later I'm looking at a nearby booth and the seller tells some other guy that she sold me the cable, and she points at me. He looks at me and is PISSED. Man, that made my day. XD

Wednesday:
http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j238/foxhack/DP/dp-2012-09-26.jpg
Windows Vista Home Premium with 32/64 bit discs - $10
Menopause: The Musical (new) - $2
V/A - Superstar OST - $1
Fantastic 4 PS2 Greatest Hits - $5

I've been looking for Fantastic 4 for a while, and since I had a bit of extra cash, I splurged. Menopause... I already bought it a while back, but it was an entirely different package, so maybe it's another performance. Superstar, I dunno. SNL movie. :P And Vista? That was down from $20, the seller got pissed off because another reseller (a complete fucking moron) supposedly -opened- the item when he was told to leave it alone. So she said $20. Her brother told me $10 and I jumped on it.

Funny thing about that, Vista was left out for about 45 minutes and nobody grabbed it. Not the resellers, not the computer builders... nobody wanted it. I bought it so I could resell it and have enough money for a Windows 7 Pro full install since I want to dual-boot my next PC, but...

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j238/foxhack/DP/dp-2012-09-28.jpg
Windows 7 Home Premium to Professional Anytime Upgrade
Office 2003 Small Business with Outlook BCM x2
$10 total.

So what do you know. I got the upgrade for less than four bucks. Woohoo. 'Course, now I need a cheapy Windows XP so I can use the 7 Home Premium upgrade legally... or something.

[SEGA_Queen]

Man, this month has been full of great finds for me! Here's today's gem:

The Misadventures of Tron Bonne with Guide for $34.00 credit (Used, Missing Manual) - I was in a local shop to trade a few games, and I spotted the guide in the display case for $3.99. I thought to myself "Maybe I should grab it, in case I find the game later." I looked in another display case, and there was the game for $30.00! @_@

[Tupin]

A new thrift store opened near me called Savers, it's apparently part of a chain. I picked up Mafia for $2, DOOM 3 for $3, a VTech Simon clone for $3 and a sealed copy of Spyro for $2.

I'll have to keep an eye on this place, some of the stuff is pretty cheap, definitely cheaper than Goodwill...

[Cornelius]

Monkey Island Madness

jelous!


Gamecube Component Cable - not telling :P Someone's already asked to buy it.
:eek 2:



Windows Vista Home Premium with 32/64 bit discs - $10

Windows 7 Home Premium to Professional Anytime Upgrade

@_@



Menopause: The Musical (new) - $2

... damn, I'm out of emotes.

[Kitsune Sniper]

... damn, I'm out of emotes.

And the cable's been sold already. XD I'm keeping the Anytime Upgrade, so there was no real profit on that one! Except maybe being able to use the money I didn't spend on that to buy a new motherboard and CPU.

I also forgot to mention something else I picked up on Wednesday - a Karat Action Replay (parallel port version) for the PS1 for $5. I've tried googling but I can find no info on this particular variant other than "KARAT" being the name of the Japanese branch of Datel. The text on the sticker is in Japanese... hope the damn thing isn't in Japanese. :|

Edit: Oh right - I also found a Paper Mario for N64 on Monday for a buck. It's an ex-rental so it'll be up for trade instead of sale later on.

It depends on the location. Savers is the same chain as Value Village, it's a pretty large chain and the pricing can either be really cheap or super expensive. Since that location just opened up, they're probably pricing stuff cheaper than normal to convince people to visit often as they don't have regular shoppers yet. Then they'll raise the prices once people keep coming to see what's new.

How bad is the condition? If the label isn't ripped you could clean it up, use a hair dryer to remove rental stickers and Goo Gone to clean it up nice. Rubbing alcohol to remove any permanent marker and it'll look as good as any other cart.

Sid Meier's Colonization was $1.50. I've been looking for a CED player for a very long time, and $20 for one that's fully working means I can finally watch my copy of Tron that I've had for years.

[camarotuner]

What's a CED player?

[InsaneDavid]

What's a CED player?

Capacitance Electronic Disc. Think of a vinyl record but instead of audio, audio and video.

[The Adventurer]

Capacitance Electronic Disc. Think of a vinyl record but instead of audio, audio and video.

You can put Video... on a vinyl disc?

Like, how many seconds of footage?

[Tokimemofan]

You can put Video... on a vinyl disc?

Like, how many seconds of footage?

1 hour, however this format is known to be unreliable due to the groove tracking, it would get clogged and skip like a broken record

[Tupin]

Yeah, it didn't do too well. Who wants a video format that skips when you could get literally any of its competitors and get superior video quality.

It's a collector's item, not the best way to watch movies.

[Tokimemofan]

Yeah all other competitors were better, even VHD, a format that used the same technology and is usually collected alongside CED got it right by putting in a proper servo system.
BTW VHD offered stereoscopic 3d almost 30 years ago, I sold a VHD player to a collector for about $150 a 2-3 years ago. I'd say that CED is probably the least collected of the 5 formats of the day. I am still embarrassed that I passed on the Little Women CED last year only to find out that it was one of the rarest releases and one of only 3 (i think, maybe even less) anime ever released on CED, that said it isn't worth much.

[The Adventurer]

Finished the month out right with a solid score from the Slater Mill Flea Market in Jewet City, CT. I haven't been there in over a month, and never at opening time. It was kinda drizzly out, so I figured I'd give the in-doors flea market a shot. I think I'm glad I did...

http://imageshack.us/a/img411/4021/saddermill1.jpg

Robotrek (SNES) + Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES) + Total Carnage (SNES) $20 - Spotted Robotrek and about lost my composure. I've been wanting that game for like 20 years. It was priced $15. Which on one hand felt expensive, but on the other hand my gut told me it was obscure enough to probably be worth more. So I pulled it out, and started rooting for more stuff. The lady behind the counter (a regular reseller. everything is behind glass, individually priced etc...) pulls out this box labled '$5 Games'. I thumb through it and spit-take when I see a copy of Link to the Past in there (its even got a $15 sticker on it). I know this lady knows what Zelda is, I figure no way she's gonna let this go for $5. And she does catch it, but instead of snatching it away she sighs and says, its in the box its $5. Sweeeeeeeet. Total Carnage was in the box too (sticker $8), been told its fun. On, and I got her to knock another $5 off by buying all three. Robotrek+Zelda is apparently $60 worth of game... I so I think I did alright. Still flaburgasted I got this past a reseller (who was actually talking me up about how E-bay prices have been going up and up on games lately, minutes before!)

F-Zero (SNES) $3
Super Mario World (SNES) $3
Chrono Cross (PS1) $1 - Thought I had found a huge score when I dug this up and got told 'all games three dollars'. Unfortunately when I opened it it was missing Disc 2. Rats. Got the lady to knock it down to a buck, and I've got the inserts and manual in case I find a loose set some day.
Resident Evil Code: Veronica (DC) + Sega Dreamcast Web Browser (PS1) + Alien Trilogy (PS1) $8 - Just filler stuff in the same pile as Chrono Cross. Not sure why I bothered on the Web Browser disc, when will I EVER us it?

Ms. Pac-Man case only (GEN) $.50 - Just randomly found an empty Ms. Pac-Man case. Lady let me have it for fifty cents, and my loose cart and manual from last week now have a home.

I definitely feel like I made out this week on those SNES scores. Still bummed Chrono Cross is missing that disc.

No pictures today, but I found a complete copy of Pharaoh for the PC for $2, and some Kingdom Hearts figurines for $3 for two.

Not too familiar with Kingdom Hearts, but I know that I have Roxas and Riku. Can't seem to find a price value anywhere, are they worth anything even if they don't have their accessories?

Probably for the best. It'll deter the scumbags from swiping the discs. BTW good score on Grandia II.

Here's the figurines I got, couldn't find them anywhere except for Amazon selling Riku for $60 and Roxas for $169 (?!?!):

Is there actually a demand for these?

I made a reseller get really pissed off because I grabbed it before he did. I saw it, asked for a price, paid, and walked away. A few minutes later I'm looking at a nearby booth and the seller tells some other guy that she sold me the cable, and she points at me. He looks at me and is PISSED. Man, that made my day. XD

Yeah, score one for the good guys! Stupid resellers!!!


And the cable's been sold already. XD

Errrrr....

Errrrr....

I know right? :P

I'm a reseller. But if I lose out to someone because I didn't get there in time, I don't get angry. Sad, maybe, but not angry. I dunno. :p

thats what makes the adventure fun i think. Its that satisfaction of scoring something before some else does.

I get it actually, and I wasn't trying to troll you or anything, I just found the original post humorous. It seems like being a "reseller" these days is just a step above being a one-eyed child molester according to most video game forums and youtube videos that I frequent...but I know that many of these people complaining are resellers themselves. They're always the "right" kind of reseller (loves the hobby, has a collection, etc) while the other resellers are always the "wrong" kind that are greedy and only care about money and shafting us out of our rightful deals (that we may turn around and sell anyway).

Anyway, thanks for taking my post as it was intended :)

SATURDAY RACE DAY(NINTENDO POWER) PICK UPS 9 29 2012

Ok someone may remember me mentioning here after I lost so many magazines in flood IRENE ,that I was given a bunch of Nintendo Power Magazines from an old friend who bought one of my Neo Geo MVS cabs years ago.... I just had to drive to MD to get them,that trip an easy $120.00 with just gas and tolls..
It’s been awhile,I have been traveling to MD to race but never had the room in the van nor time to go pick up the stuff.
My friend kept on me about it(thank goodness)..He bought a very expensive Camera and wanted to test it t by taking pictures of the race..So to kill two birds with one stone he met me at the track with all the bins filled with stuff,I almost fell over when I saw it all,Everything
was meticulously organized ..He had more Nintendo Power Magazines but also lost some to flooding..All the magazines are Nintendo Power,in various conditions...
I didn’t know the other stuff he was bringing me..He told me about the Manga books as I sold some had a few months ago,some of these say $9.95 on the back...Comics,Toys,Anime,Games Complete,AES BOXES EMPTY...Flat Screen Monitor etc..
I didn’t have the room to fit the bins in the van so after the race I had to bag everything up in 20 bags and fit things n every nick and cranny I could finds..This stuff weighs more then my race bikes..
My yard isn’t big enough for me to spread this stuff all out..Right now it’s all spread as in the pictures in my living room but I am putting it all away in boxes until I can get to selling it..

Everything is for sale...I Plan to sell the Nintendo Power Magazines in lots to what fits in flat rate boxes..I gotta sort the Manga books out and list them on ebay .I got a good price for he last lot of 13 I sold..I just don’t have the time to nickel and dime this stuff..
