Thats a nice dreamcast haul :)

[Masco73]

What I didn't realize is that I left big league baseball boxed and complete. I thought it was a worthless baseball title. I get home and look it up and its a R7/ $15 box variation in the DP guide. I got to remeber to keep the guide in the car. I guess I will be going back tomorrow. :D

[dreamcaster]

[DigitalSpace]

PS2 8MB Memory Card (first party) - $19.99

^ On sale at Target through today. I've been meaning to get a new one for a while, as the amount of PS2 games in my collection has been increasing in the past months, and I'm almost completely out of space on my other card.

[josekortez]

Even if someone else finds a boxed, gold-plated, jewel-encrusted Neo-Geo cartridge system for 3 cents, I'd still give icarwngs55 the find of the week. @_@

Anyway, after trading in both of Sony's 2004 basketball games and Microsoft's Inside Drive 2004, I got the following used and complete at Gamestop:

Bomberman Jetters (GC) (it just came out this week!)
Headhunter (PS2)
Rollcage (PS1)
Xbox Music Mixer (sans microphone)

Not much of a find, but no money changed hands! :D

Also, I found new Ultimate Codes discs for Silent Hill 3, Soul Calibur 2, and Tomb Raider: A of D for $.01 each.

[gamegirl79]

I got a couple loose N64 games:

Pokemon Snap: $3.99
Goldeneye 007: $4.99

[AB Positive]

no video games, but I did come up with 2 CLASSIC Cds for a buck a piece.

[Cmosfm]

Super Soccer - Snes - .99

Carnival - Atari 2600 - .99

Nothing special, my bro picked these up for me.

[orrimarrko]

International Cricket (NES) - cart. only, $5 AU

And it's an Australian only release too :D .

I have that boxed!

I so want to play. I hope it will work on a US NES system. Someone told me that it would work on a Top Loader, but I don't have one to try.

[crashdummycow01]

bomberman jetters just came out this week? i saw it at walmart for $14

[josekortez]

Damn it! My Jetters was $18, but like I said, I didn't spend any cash for it. When I got to Gamestop, they said they never received any new copies of it. Also, Wal-Mart is so far away, I probably would have blown $2 on gas trying to get to one. Oh well!

This EXACT same thing happened to me with Cool Boarders 3 for PSone. I didn't feel like arguing much so I just slammed the case on the counter and told the ass hole to keep it, I don't want a worthless disk in a sleeve.

No luck at any garage sales, thrifts all dry, and even some of the gamestops that used to have TONS of snes/gen/nes games w/ boxes got rid of EVERYTHING cart based so I couldn't do the buy 2, get 1 free + 40% off. =(

[captain nintendo]

Its a privately owned store. Tynstar also bought a bunch of stuff, but I wont spoil his post. Anyhow, I have bought a small lot from him in the past and decided to ask if he would sell me everything he had left. Well I walked away pretty happy ;)

[Crush Crawfish]

Well...It's not really a find, but today I got Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life for GCN as a Gift from my parents. It rules, probably the best Harvest moon ever.

[wufners]

I usually don't post here 'cuz y'all make me sick with your spectacular finds, while I toil away with meager pickins. ;)

Ah but Saturday was good to me. I'm not so sure the money side was anything to brag about ( it was nothing to hang my head about either), but it had been such a long dry spell that I was one giddy kitty about my finds.

At the local flea market I snagged an Atari 2600 Jr (long rainbow) and 15 games for $20. I also found a Sega Master System with a Phantasy Star cart, Spy vs. Spy card, light gun, and two wrong controllers (they were for the Genesis) for $20. Finally, I dropped another $20 on a Genesis 3. I tried like crazy to talk the guy down to $15 or throw something else in, but he wouldn't budge. In the end, the Genny 3 was just too cute to pass up. Man, those things are small!

Flush with conquest, I continued my treasure hunt at a Goodwill store. While browsing the CD players, I stumbled back-asswards into a Goldstar 3DO for $17!

That's pretty darn good for me! 4 systems I had never seen in the wild before all on one day.

Back to reality now--6 weeks of no finds sandwhiched in between weekends with meager finds.
