Weekend Finds: 11/7 - 11/9

[josekortez]

Once again, I'm proud to start this off with my afternoon finds:

Blockbuster
RTX Red Rock (PS2, previously viewed) - $3.99
Freaky Flyers (Xbox, previously viewed) - $11.99

EB Games
Galidor (GBA, new) - $2.99
Iridion 3D (GBA, new) - $4.99
Fade to Black (PS1, used) - $1.79
Bomberman Generations (GC, used) - $10.79

Also, I got 2 Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart PS2 Demo Discs and a free Xbox case from the EB employee. Now, Freaky Flyers won't look so ugly next to the other Xbox games.

Like DrJustin said in his thread, never underestimate the power of Blockbuster...

[ARCZero]

$30 for TMNT Tournament Fighters NES (paid so much because I've been looking for this one for a while)

$15 for a View-Master Interactive Vision VHS console in box. This system dates from 1988 and I think it's pretty rare. It's kind of like an Action Max console, but it has this really bizarre joystick. Anyone interested in trading for it?

- ARCZero

[AlanD]

$5 for a stack of 2600 manuals including Plaque Attack, Crypts of Chaos, Earth Dies Screaming, both Tron games and a few other unusual ones.
$10 for a loose Speed Racer/Mountain Bike Rally for SNES.
$7 for boxed complete Genesis Wimbledon, Cal Ripken, Pink goes to Hollywood, World Champ Soccer 1 & 2 and Mystical Fighter - only 356 more Genny games to go :)

[Querjek]

$10 for a loose Speed Racer/Mountain Bike Rally for SNES.

Nothing major this weekend -

Complete Sparkster & Sonic 2 (I sold all my copies of that damn game) for £5
Boxed Action Replay VI with instructions - free. The seller wanted £2.50 for a C64 and a good few tapes. I just wanted the Cartridge and he said I could have it for nothing. :)

Incidentally, the box for the Action Replay has room to hold a tape - should there be one included?

[CRaCKeRJaCK1980]

5 Zellers games for the 2600 and a Atari Jr. With all the hookups. All for 10 bucks.

bunch of other crap

somehow I spent 180 bux this week

Was too late on a really nice set of atari games, got there the same time as another guy doing his usual e-bay sweep. For some reason they were almost all r5's and up, I believe the rarest of in the bunch was an r8 Apollo game (don't remember the title right now)
Oh well, still a good day

[VACRMH]

Meh, nothing big.

Picked up a sealed copy of Point Blank 3 with Guncon on PSX.

Today, I found the following Game Gear games loose with dust covers for $1.49 each at Salvation Army:

James Pond
NBA Jam Tournament Edition
Space Invaders

Salvation Army any good? For some reason, there's something that tells me not to go in...

[Classicgamesdepot]

I have had pretty good luck with salvation army's, they don't sell their better items online like goodwill

[Half Japanese]

Blockbuster:

Contra: Shattered Soldier (ps2) - $2.09



Gamestop:

Metal SLug X (ps1) - $20.99


Local shop:

Metal Slug X (ps1 import) - $19.99



I scored well this week in my opinion :D!

[o2william]

Had a good day today:

Wing Commander (original 1990 IBM-PC version, complete in box) - $.50
Atari 2600 4-switch console - $2.50
NES Donkey Kong 3 (boxed) - $3
NES Commando (boxed) - $3
NES Elevator Action (loose) - $2

And my first Famiclone system. Called the "Power Player 3" on the box, the console itself is sort of steering-wheel shaped and is labeled "Power Playey" (gotta love that Engrish!). It has 15 built-in Famicom games, including stuff that wasn't released in America like Galaxian, a Macross shooter, a weird Athena-like game starring Pikachu, and some shooter called "Aladdin III." It has a port for Famicom carts, but it's so poorly fitted I probably won't use it. Still, not bad for $2.50.

[Classicgamesdepot]

Where's everyone's Sunday Finds? Anyhow today I got:

Sega Nomad with ac (no battery holder perfect screen) 20 bux
Ninja gaiden 3 (3 bux)
Atari 5200 with 20 5200 games w/manuals and about 10 other games inlcudind Diner (intv. loose) (35 bux)
Seems all Worth mentioning I can remember right now

[josekortez]

Sorry to post again, but this weekend, I seem to have a streak of luck. Nothing rare, but more games than I've found all at once in a while. I think I need to approach some really hot women...fast. LOL

Anyway, I found these Genesis games for $3 total at a yard sale with cases, but no manuals today:

Batman Returns
Bulls vs. Blazers
Robocop vs. Terminator
Streets of Rage 2

I was about to pay, and the lady insisted that I take a bare Genesis Model 1 with the games. Otherwise, she was going to toss it. It's missing the external cover, and there's some weird metal plate attached to the bottom. Is it for the Sega CD?

@Sofa King Gud - Salvation Army is no better, no worse. In fact, Goodwill here only sells women's clothing. They don't even take games.

[ARCZero]

My good luck streak continues ...

Picked up a boxed SMS with 23 boxed-complete games, including Alex Kidd in Shinobi World and Castle of Illusions. Combined together its DP book value is $284. I paid $50 for it :).

I also found a 20" NEC monitor for $13, which I'm going to give to my mother who has bad eye-sight

Lastly I found a bunch of GB and GBA games for $5 each including Metroid II and Spiderman GBA.

Now I won't be able to pay as much as I wanted to on my credit card bill :(

If anyone is interested in trading for the SMS stuff let me know. I also have a bunch of G&W games including the rare version of Egg. I'm looking for very rare NES games, such as the Panesians, Action 52, 6 in 1, and Flinstones 2. Rare Vectrex and Atari 5200 items would be good too.

[esquire]

Just got back from my corner Gamestop and picked up a new in box Super 8 by Innovation for the Super Nintendo for $9.99. I guess it lets you play NES, Famicom and Super Famicom games on your SNES. Never tried one. Anyone know if these things actually work, i.e. are they 100% compatible?

[VinnyT]

A flea market today had the Superman arcade game for $630, but 1. i'm poor
2. I have no room for it and 3. It was next to no casing.

Also, I found Soul Caliber II for $25 at Half Price books.

[WizDawg]

I found King of Kings at Goodwill for $1 loose

At an indoor flea I bought Super Cobra (box, manual, cart) for the Atari 800 for $5
