[ARCZero]

* XBox Silent Scope Light Rifle + House of The Dead III new for $50 (Fry's special)
* Two MAS systems super sticks (uses actual arcade parts) for the Genesis, fo $10 each! They're older versions of this joystick: http://www.massystems.com/ProStick.html I'm hoping the company still sells adapters for these sticks so I can use them on my GameCube and XBox. I'd consider trading one of them for very rare NES game(s) that I'm lookig for.

"4/29 - 5/1"

Yes I know, I just noticed that, oops. Then the 30-the 2nd.

[roxybaby]

The 30th was Friday, silly. ;)

Anyway, I found a boxed Flicky, and complete versions of Sonic & Knuckles and Road Rash (all for Genesis) at a garage sale this morning. All three together were $6.

Those Nightmare games alone are worth probably $200 US easy...every one of them is near mint and complete! :D Basically....I made some GREAT scores today!

[Mythik]

I have been going gamecube game crazy over the past couple of weeks, after today I have a stack of about 20 brand new games that I am making a dent in.
Friday night and Sat. Morning I got:
ALL for GC and of course Brand New

Circuit City
Beyond Good + Evil
Capcom Vs. SNK EO
Spyro: Unleash the Dragon
Piglet's Big Game
Freedom Fighters
Freekstyle
Resident Evil
Matt Hoffman Pro BMX


Best Buy
Hitman
TimeSplitters 2
NBA 2K2

And there still is Sunday - A local gamestore is having a 50% off sale, so can't wait to get some deals on some older games! Shitty weather here in MO will keep the flea markets closed though:(

I think I am going to try and complete a whole gamecube game library. I have never tried to do that with any system, I mean never try and collect all the games. Next to the NES, second the most games I have come from the GC.

The main reason I guess I have never tried, I mean i thought it would be cool, but never saw the point in getting a bunch of games that I don't like just to complete a library.

[AB Positive]

I got 148 DewU points today... that'll take me a while to enter



As for the Nightmare games, I'm a collector so let me clear these up:

Nightmare I is the origional, it goes for maybe $10. The 'sequels' are really expansions, used with the origional game but with new time and fate cards, and a new tape with one of the characters from the original taking the place of the gatekeeper.

II is hard to get

III is really hard

IV... has gone on eBay for upwards of $200 USD.


I hate you maxlords *shakes fist*


-AG

[Crush Crawfish]

Went garage sailing today. Not much but, interesting.

Defender: the Board Game- $3 (does anyone have a checklist of all the pieces)

An atari 7800 w/ hat trick- $2
One catch, though. It has no controllers or wires to hook it up with. Can you use atari 2600 wires by any chance?

I also got a good laugh. I asked this old lady if she had any games, just like I always do, and she replied "No, and I'm proud of it!" Then she started ranting about how her grandkids are addicted.....God forbid they should read a book blah blah.....15 miles in the snow blah blah blah....It was hilarious! LOL

[DigitalSpace]

I had to work most of the day, so I had no time to stop at garage sales. However, I did find the time during a break to visit a nearby Gamestop.

Genesis:
6 Pak (loose) - $5.60
Joshua (loose) - .63

Joshua was the highlight of the day. I just found out it's an R7. :D
Also, the price tag on the game was mismarked as "Cal Ripken Jr. Baseball" for .89 (before the 30% off discount). Being a Wisdom Tree cart, it's my first unlicensed game.

Might go to a few garage sales tormorrow.

[esquire]

Rockman Battle & Fighters (NGPC) new and complete $29.95

[shopkins]

Today was pretty good for me. I had to work but I stopped in a couple flea markets and yard sales after my assignment.

The first place I went to a guy sold me a box of NES stuff for $3, including an NES, two regular controllers and a Quickshot joystick and a Turbotouch pad.

At the flea market I found a PSONE with the LCD screen and a bag full of controllers and adaptors for $20, but I didn't have it on me at the time and when I went back it had been sold. I did get Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for NES.

I also found my best find of the day, my Afterburner 32X cartridge that I lost three years ago. I bought it from my brother's ex-wife for a dollar. He must have taken it to her house and never brought it back and, years after the divorce, it ended up in her fleamarket pile. She just charged me a dollar for it.

I also met a guy who used to sell videogame stuff at the flea market but doesn't anymore. Later that day I visited his other junk store, now closed, which is like a museum of overpriced old console stuff. He had boxed Jaguar games, a hard-wired Atari console and a bunch of other neat stuff, but it wasn't priced to move and he didn't care to haggle. Since I had him open the store just for me I didn't want to come away empty-handed, so I bought Metroid, Bonk's Adventure, Kasumi Ninja and a Game Genie for more than I care to admit to. He had Bonks Revenge, but wouldn't sell it to me because he was saving it as a pack-in for a console.

Friday, I visited a store in Virginia that had all of its old stuff priced at a flat $5. I got Wonder Boy, Wonder Boy in Monster Land (label reads Super Wonder Boy Super Monster Land), Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap, Aztec Adventure, Rescue Mission, Alex Kidd and the Lost Stars (label read Alex Kidd The Lost Star) and Altered Beast for SMS, Sword of Vermillion for Genesis, Snake's Revenge and Mission Impossible for NES and Body Harvest for N64. I was really happy to find those Wonder Boy games.

[ubersaurus]

Not much, but I did get a copy of Lode Runner 3D for 5 bucks.

[Ed Oscuro]

Not much, but I did get a copy of Lode Runner 3D for 5 bucks.
Hey, there's a series I've been paying some attention to recently.

I found a loose Wheel of Fortune for N64 manual that had fallen in the gap behind some computers at a Goodwill...a number of common NES carts, three of them baseball titles, SMB/Duck Hunt and plain SMB...I did find a Namco/Soul Calibur 2 shirt with the character I guess is named Ivy (after doing a search) on the back.
