2 nintendos (neither had ac adapter and only one had the av cable), grey zapper, offbrand nes joystick, 2 controllers, 3 hard cases for the games, 10 sleeves, and 17 games for 9 bucks from a friend at school. The games were worth from 3-9 dollars each. Not a super great deal but better then what it would have been on ebay for sure!

As for the story on the 3.00 Atari with controllers and all that stuff, It was at the Salvation Army, it has 3 parts, boutique, clothes and housewares & electronics...all in different sections. I grabbed up all this in electronics and over there you have to find someone to give you a price...but I knew these jackasses would try to charge me 5.00 for the Atari, and 1.00-2.00 each for the cords which I wasn't paying cause it would have been too much. Anyways, once you got your ticket you take it up to the counter in housewares and tell them....I decided to skip the ticket part and head straight to the counter. Once I get up there....

Me: Hi, the guy in the back told me 3.00 for all this

Cashier: 3.00!! That's all!?!?!?

Me: Yeah, he said it all goes together, and since it was old it was only 3.00

Cashier: Do you have your ticket?

Me: No, he was pretty busy back there with some boxes or something, so he just game me a price.

Cashier: Oh well, whatever they say. 3.00 please

And I walked out with all that for 3.00! Yeah....Ummm, I know I lied, but oh well....it's in a good home now. That is all the finds so far this week...bad weather has hindered my finds

There might also be some other great Genny titles there. It's a Gamestop I've never been to, so I had to have them set the games aside for me. :evil:

[Packerfan66]

I remember my little sister had a socrates. It isn't a video game system. It is was a learning tool for pre school kids. I think it also alllowed you to color and answer simple questions. I can't remember everything but maybe there was a way to play other software on it. I think it was a flop.

Hmmmm, maybe it was the countless amount of times I've been overcharged on items, been told an item I wanted wasn't for sale even though it was out on the floor, been treated like shit for no reason, had prices raised from the sticker price at the cash register. I wouldn't do this to any other Salvation Army, but this one is shit. I know 2 wrongs don't make a right, but 2 wrongs do make me feel better.

[SegaAges]

as far as i know, they are all common, but for the price i paid, i don't really care:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3076107565&category=3528&sspagename=STRK%3AMEBWN%3AIT&rd=1

3.25 for 10 games, come on, thats not bad at all, even if they are all common.

I noticed this one had pole position when i was looking through games. i have pole position 2, and i figured i might as well get the original.

[NintendoMan]

Well, I just paid out the ass on ebay ($160) for an NES top loader. But, it came with about 10 games and accessories. The deck was in near PREFECT condition though. I have been looking for one for about 6 months now, around the flea markets, game shops and no one ever had them.

NEW Genesis 2
Castlvania 3 Sealed (NES)
Super Gameboy
Mission Impossible (N64)
Mario Paint

[Cmosfm]

3.25 for 10 games, come on, thats not bad at all, even if they are all common.

TECHNICALLY after shipping you paid 8.20 for them, which still isn't that bad assuming you don't have them all. I normally pay up for 1.00 for Atari games, common ones, and you paid .82 each for them. Pretty decent, nothing to throw a part over, but not bad nonetheless

[charitycasegreg]

I got 27 genesis games for 15 bucks. Most had boxes and a few had instructions. Some games include battletoads, the duel test drive 2, american gladiatorss, some sports games, x-men 2, sonic 3d blast, phantasy star 2 which is complete. AND THAT ONE person said that nine bucks for the nes stuff WAS A STEAL but i said it wasnt that great for me< jsut bcause i have had better deals but whatever im glad im still in highschool since so many people have their old stuff and i JUST HAPPEN to sometimes stumble upon those people

[Raccoon Lad]
