Weekday Finds - March 22/2004 - 25/2004

[Cmosfm]

Looks like I'm the topic maker this time! :) My finds were good.

SEALED The Legend Of Zelda - NES - Original Gold version Mint - 20.00
SEALED Contra Force - NES - Mint - 20.00

Found these at a WESTERN AUTO! The guy up there was a real jerk though, he was wanting 50.00 each O_O Then after a little negotiating, which he turned into arguing, I got them at 20.00 each. He had 10 different ones up there (2 Super Team Games, Bartman Vs. Radioactiveman, Goonies 2, Track & Field 2, Burai Fighter & 2 more I can't remember) but nothing worth bothering with at 20.00 each, sealed or not. I've just never seen a guy act like such a JERK toward someone offering to give him money before. He at first told me 50.00 for those 2, I asked "how about 40.00", he gets cocky and says "how about 50.00". Ugh, I can't believe people act like such ass holes sometimes. :angry:

Rest of the finds were pretty blah in comparision.

King of the Fighters 99 - PS one - 5.00

Maken X - Dreamcast - 3.50

Bonkers - SNES - 2.00
Space Football - SNES - 1.50

PSone Mouse - 3.00

[Queen Of The Felines]

You must've been excited because somehow you've made three threads about it. LOL

I can't WAIT for the weather to get nicer so I can hit the fleas/garage sales...patience, must have patience.

[Ed Oscuro]

Looks like I'm the topic maker this time! :)
Not only once, but twice! LOL You aren't the only one to do this today :)

Wow, those are some great finds, even if one is Contra Force (I would love to find one in that condition)!

My find today was a Dreamcast controller, $1.58 after tax. Not too great, but my Kiosk DC needs hookups, starting with the controller :0

[Cmosfm]

O_O TRIPLE POSTED! Ugh....I keep getting that "website is not responding" error everytime I post, create a topic, edit, etc.

Sorry about that...My bad :(

[sisko]

Then you say "how about I walk and you never sell those over priced games because you wouldn't sell them to me"

Actually found this this weekend:

Saturn Virtual On: Netlink Edition loose - $13

I don't know what I'm going to do with it.....

[Cmosfm]

Then you say "how about I walk and you never sell those over priced games because you wouldn't sell them to me"

He said he was still selling them :o And that he'd loose money by selling them cheaper than that. Yeah, sure, people are still buying those games shoved in the corner of a shitty hardware store caked in dust...and I believe after you've had something for 15 years in the same store that "loosing money" is inevitable.

Some people....I just don't understand.

[Querjek]

Not really a true find, but I got my first issue of Cube today, and it came with an AR disk and a DVD. Pretty awesome mag compared to the US crap.

[Perkar]

had a couple of nice finds today, namely:

GEN - Toe Jam & Earl in a shitty ass box (regular box, but plastic is ripped off, cover tapped back on, and 25% of the back of the cover is torn off), but the cartrdige itself is beautiful, and it was $1.99 =)

...and i knew this would happen. after getting a saturn from jonjandran just 3 weeks ago, i found one in the wild today for $9.99. although, it has no hookups... it did have one official controller, one extension cord, and a loose copy of virtua fighter 2 inside. $9.99

A sealed copy of exertainment mountain bike rally for the snes

that's all

[roxybaby]

Found a copy of Sonic Adventure LE at a garage sale. Not in the original case, and the instruction manual is missing the back cover, but the disk is flawless. Not a bad investment at $3.50.

[QBert]

I found a Tengen Baseball for 1.99 loose and a gameboy booster boy.
never heard of it before, but I found a link to a pic.
http://www.marktnet.nl/Game-boy-classic-en-een-booster-96444.htm
It didn;t come with a power cord, but I can use a universal one.

Very large and ugly looking unit, seems it would be hard it play with, but it was 19.99, and I said WTF, with no power cord?? So they lowered it to 12.99 and I snagged it.


Meh, nothing super but still finds.

[brykasch]

EB Games-

[Rogmeister]

Yesterday I received a package I won via ebay. It featured a Super Nintendo console in really nice condition (looks better than mine) with the AC cord, a/v cables and two controllers. I also got 8 games with it. Considering I have over 180 games for the system (I bought this as a back-up to my regular console), I was pleasantly surprised that I only got 3 games that I already had: Super Street Fighter II Turbo, Super R-Type and Mortal Kombat II. The five games I got that I didn't have before: Wolfchild, RapJam Volume One (yeah, I know, there never was a volume two), Kendo Rage, Clue and Frank Thomas Big Hurt Baseball. Is RapJam considered rare? Video Game Bible says it is. Oh yes, these all came loose...no boxes or instructions for the games.

[Stewie]

Baseball Stars NES - $2.00

Video Games Express throw their common sports games and Mario/DuckHunt type stuff in a 2 dollar each or 6 for $10 bin, for some reason, they thought Baseball Stars was a common one? :)

[Reverend JagDiesel]

made a stop by Target on the way home yesterday and go:
Celebrity Deathmatch (xbox) $4.98
got home and tried it out. what a craptacular game, but it was worth the money

[Castelak]

Skies of Arcadia NEW GC $25~

FINALLY! Outpost.com fulfilled my order! *dances*

[sisko]

I stopped by a TRU on the way home today on the off chance they finally marked down their DC games. They didn't, but I couldn't read the price tag on Typing of the Dead so I asked, and the supervisor said they were 50% off the marked price. He said they may even be able to go 75% off with store manager approval. The store manager came over and said that 75% was too much, but he could do 50% of the 50% off....yeah...not a typo.

So I managed to get all of these at 75% off anyway:

F22 (Genesis) $1.25
Vectorman 2 (Genesis) $1.25
World Series 2K2 (DC) $2.50
Typing of the Dead (DC) $2.50

In retrospect, I probably should have snagged Pokemon Snap and Hey You Pikachu for $2.50 each, but oh well.

[esquire]

Castlevania Symphony of the Night - Original version (PS1)
The House of the Dead 2 (DC)

Both mint and complete for $13 total at a local resale shop.

[jonjandran]

He said they may even be able to go 75% off with store manager approval. The store manager came over and said that 75% was too much, but he could do 50% of the 50% off....yeah...not a typo.
.
HAHAHAHAAHa what a complete idiot. LOL

That made my day, Thanks .... :P

[TheSmirk]

On a whim, Goodwill stop:

$2 Tengen Pac-Man NES
$2 Ninja Gaiden 2 NES

Nothing spectacular, but I was happy to find SOMETHING :D

[DigitalSpace]

Is RapJam considered rare?

On the DP list, it's an R4, so it's scarce. From a personal viewpoint I've seen quite a few of these in the wild, but that's probably because its pretty much one of the worse SNES games ever.
