Weekday Finds 8-25-03 to 8-28-03

[Shadysmurf]

I had my best pawn shop finds EVER I got a complete near mint Suikoden 2 for 7.99 plus 20% off my greatest find ever, then I dug threw thier box of controllers and handhelds etc.. and found a Mega Man 2 Handheld for 1.79, and I found 2 more that im going back to buy by Activision...Narc, and Ironsword: Might and Magic 2

[Pantechnicon]

(mods - I posted this at the tail end of the current "weekend finds" thread but it's more appropriate here. Please delete the old one, sorry)

This one doesn't count as a find, per se, but the PS2 I found three weeks ago at Goodwill for $10 and was still under warranty has been returned from Sony today completely repaired and working. Mad props to Sony for honoring the warranty on this thing!

Weekly trade has also netted me a Dreamcast system. All hookups, one game and a couple of "extras" the nice fella on the other end said he was throwing in. Should be here soon...

Meanwhile, back at Goodwill...

Genesis - Road Rash 3, complete - $2. -_-

Maganvox Odyssey2 System - $10 complete in the box O_O with the following loose games:
UFO!
Alien Invaders Plus!
Bowling!/Basketball!
Pachinko!
Showdown In 2100 AD!
Invaders From Hyperspace!
KC Munchkin!
Blackjack!
Sub Chase!/Armored Encounter!
Speedway!/Spin Out!/Crypto-Logic!

Not bad! Good price! Some of these games are dupes but what the hell! Geez, Magnavox sure had a thing for exclamation points! Seems that way to me anyway!

So now I have two extra loose Odyssey2's: one with detachable sticks and one without (I forget which is the rarer of the two). I'll probably try to trade these along with the duplicate titles I got. PM if you're interested or wait the eventual post in the trade thread.

One more for the road !

When you say mega man 2 handheld, are you talking about the one made by TIGER in 1988? its like a miniature handheld with a pre-rendered screen? if so, what is the rarity and value of this thing? i have one, but i am not aware of its value...i also have one for sonic 2 and sonic 3...which i lost somewhere x_x and i have2 find them!

Let's see, I've been acquiring rare (expensive) stuff lately.
Recieved in the mail today: Alex Kidd in Shinobi World (US VERSION, NEAR MINT) $45 shipped ( a little spendy, but it's the going price these days)

And just payed a collector 30 GBP (about $48) for SMS Masters of Combat, (one of the top 5 Euro SMS rares), and Sonic Chaos (which is fairly common, but EVERYONE on ebay seems to want one, which drives up the price)

4 N64's--1 Dreamcast--a CRAPLOAD of controllers for various systems(DC,PS.N64), power supplies for the N64's,rumble packs, and RF and RCA outputs for the various systems.

Daaaamn, Pete! You've muscled up. So did you find all that when two boulders smashed together?

[ManekiNeko]

Now's the perfect time to find games thanks to all the Labor Day garage sales. I found a Space Invaders reflective handheld game for ten cents, and two Saturn games (Panzer Dragoon and Street Fighter Alpha) for $1.50 each.
I also picked up a California Raisins watch for a buck, just because I was inspired by the California Raisins NES game that was recently released on the Internet. I have no use for it, but I'm thinking of giving it away on The Gameroom Blitz to promote the site.
