Weekend Finds 1/9 - 1/11

[DDCecil]

Haven't really found anything, just got the following for my B-Day:

Neo Geo Pocket w/ KOF R1
Digital Dance Mix Namie Amuro (Saturn)
Jissen Stock Market Game (PC Engine)
Street Fighter II Super Famicom Hintbook
Sega Saturn Magazine Review Book (Eve Burst Error is the #1 game, Death Crimson is #945!)

(Pics in the Off-Topic Forum under my B-Day post)

Stopped in a new pawn shop today. Looks like someone just dumped their PSX rpg collection there because they had a ton of killer stuff. The amazing thing is that they were all totally mint and scratch-free. For $50 I got the following:

Valkyrie Profile + strategy guide (both for trade)
Legend Of Mana + strategy guide
Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure
Tales Of Destiny
Final Fantasy Anthology (sure, it's a GH title now, but I like the originals and this version seems to go for $40 still)
Final Fantasy Tactics strategy guide (1st printing, for trade)

$10 a pop for PS1 games is almost double what I usually pay for them at pawns, but considering the titles I got, I really didn't mind paying extra. :P Anyway, Hit a few thrifts afterwards and got a couple more things:

(Complete NES/$3 each)
Magic Darts
Double Strike

(Complete Saturn/$2 each)
Virtua Fighter Remix
Nights Into Dreams

[Querjek]

Arrived in the mail today:
2 blue VMUs

Mario RPG manual (!!--been trying to get one for a LONG time. If anyone has the box FS/T, PM ME NOW!)

I'm going to do the "trade-in 4 games for Sonic Heroes" thing tomorrow, and pick up an N64 for $15 at EB.

Error on Best Buy's part. I've got 2 Splinter Cells, and 1 Simpsons Road Rage from this. Actually, I don't need both SCs...

[josekortez]

Querjek, I just traded for Splinter Cell this morning, but I have PS2 Breath of Fire, Gungrave, and Mad Maestro and Xbox Mace Griffin and Soccer Slam up for trade in my trade forum post, and I'd like to get Dead to Rights, Need for Speed, and Simpsons' Road Rage among others...

Just a bit of self-promotion. And Querjek can vouch for me.

Anyway, you may now return to your regularly scheduled weekend finds thread already in progress...

[Dahne]

Today was my very first time garage sale hunting. Didn't get anything great though. Only found a couple that even had games.

First thing I found was Mortal Kombat (boxed) and Mortal Kombat 3 (loose) for the Genesis. Also found a blue Konami lightgun. I asked the lady how much she wanted for em. She shouts at somebody in Spainish, then says, "Twenty." I'm thinking "Huh? You mean as in cents?", and my dad starts getting out his wallet. I start walking away, and end up getting the lot for 10. Not great, but my very first (albeit uniontentional) haggle. :)

Then I found at Goodwill:

NES:
Bad Dudes (loose) - $2 (Couldn't pass it up)
Ninja Gaiden 2 (loose)- $2

Sega CD
Echo the Dolphin (boxed, with instructions) - $5

My very first game for a system I don't even own. :)

I don't know how you guys do it.

Achika, did you pick any of those up at Circuit City? I'm going there tonight before they close to get some more cheap stuff...

Wipeout Fusion, Legaia 2, and Defender were all at Circuit City. Namco Museum was on sale at Target (so was Pac Man Collection for the same price)

I forgot to add that at CC I also found the Elmo Letter Adventure/Number Journey two pack for $10.

for 70 dollars I got a new Neo geo pocket color with these games:
Metal slug first mission,King of Fighters, Fatal Fury, Dark Arms, Neo Turf Masters, and Pac Man....I think I might have overpaid...it came in a pack that looked extremely low budget, and it had Japanese instructions :hmm:

[nesuser2]

last night I picked up:

Official Dreamcast Maracas - NIB

Super Cars for NES - Sealed

3 - Starfox64 Manuals at KB for $1.99ea.


And what was the deal somebody mentioned, 4 games for sonic heroes deal.....at EB perhaps? Can I get some info on that so I know the drill when I want it :D

EDIT: Both the Toys R Us's within driving distance from me are selling their old display stuff and putting new out. Most of it isn't much of a deal....like, GBA SP Gold(SMA4 Bundle, withouth SMA4) for $79.....deals mostly like that. But the one I went to last night had the Xbox Intec Screen(5.4) for $49.......I figured it was broken in one way or another and wasn't worth the hassle.....might check out your TRU if you're interested in stuff like that.

[ClubNinja]

Finally, the first time outside of the house in 11 days...

Phalanx and Strike Force Hydra - GBA
Gekioh: Shooting King - PSX
Wipeout Fusion - PS2

Some atari Computer and XL games @ 1.00 each

About 20 empty snes boxes (free) ... A video game dealer at my swap meet always gives me manuals/boxes/dust covers for nes / snes games...Looks like he scored today ...I figured he picked up some good titles when I showed up to the swap meet late and saw a huge stack of boxed sport games

Him and his wife are my biggest competition there but at least they hook up the extras once in a while..


Some other stuff I can't think of right now

[Rogmeister]

On Saturday I got Total Carnage for the SNES and then on Sunday I "refound" a game I'd misplaced...it had fallen behind my floor console TV. I had to pull it out to hook up a new DVD player to it and I found the game cartridge that had fallen behind it...Lester The Unlikely. I hadn't marked it down so this gives me one more SNES game than I thought I had...I'm up to 187 now...just 13 more to reach my goal of 200 for that system.
