Weekday Finds: 5/3 - 5/7

[-hellvin-]

I decided to kick off the weekday finds thread as I did not see another.

Decided to go out huntin with Nez under the scourge of the Arizona sun and started off the monday with a bang:

Commodore 64 in box - 8
Commodore 64 1541 Floppy Drive - 6
Commodore 64 Model 1702 Monitor - 20

Bunch of commodore goodness at Goodwill. The monitor works great and kicks serious ass for playing NES games.

Gamecrazy:
SNES Cybernator - 5

Savers
SNES Super Metroid - 2
SNES Super R-Type - 2
NES Cleaning Kit w/ Manual - 4
NES Adventure Island 2 w/ Manual - 4
NES Amagon w/ Manual - 4
NES Galaga w/ Manual - 4
NES Codename Viper w/ Manual - 4
NES Kiwi Krazy w/ Manual - 4
GEN Sonic 3 w/ Box - 5

Not too bad of a day at all. Took me FOREVER to get metroid working. Just did not want to start up. Finally blew on the contacts a little bit and then it works perfect....hmm..whatever. Now it's time for some good ol' gamin.

[Nez]

IF ONLY I DIDNT HAVE TO TIE MY SHOE!!!!! THAT C 64 WOULD BE MINE!!!!! :frustrated: Just kidding.

[TheJuggala]

Not much of a find but i got:

OgreBattle 64 w/Box for 7.00

And a bunch of old wrestling videos for 5.99 each

Of course all this was at the Movie Gallery in town. Cause Maine sucks and theres never any finds.

Battle Arena Toshinden URA (SAT US complete sealed)
Earthbound (COMPLETE w/strat guide and scratch and sniff cards, guide isn't mint tho :( )

Got a package in the mail from Germany yesterday:

Corvette ZR-1 Challenge (NES) - complete
Die Schlumpfe (The Smurfs) (NES) - complete

With shipping from Germany to U.S., I think the total for everything was 27 or 28 bucks. Not too bad considering both of these games complete went on the U.S. eBay for $83 EACH a couple of months ago.

Anyone know why Die Schlumpfe isn't in listed in the online rarity guide?

[DigitalSpace]

Super NES:

Mr. Do! (loose) - $1

Playstation:

Grand Theft Auto 2 (GH, complete) - $2.50

Mr. Do! was the find of the day. It's listed on DP as an R4 at $15 (http://66.92.250.36:8080/DP/cmf/game.cmf?gameid=142136). Quite a steal.

[chadtower]

I saw two dreamcasts on the side of the road yesterday... I left them there, though.

Try under "Non-US" releases. There was no US release of the game, so unless you specify, it won't check. If it's still not there, it's probably because there is NO WAY to have a complete non-US list.

[chadtower]

WOOT I just picked up two Vectrexes and 9 boxed (possibly complete) games for $120...

Cubivore
Ikaruga
I-Ninja
F-Zero GX
Serious Sam

Yum.

Where did you turn up the Cubivore? I've been seeking that game like crazy.

[Flack]

Commodore 64 in box - 8
Commodore 64 1541 Floppy Drive - 6
Commodore 64 Model 1702 Monitor - 20

Serious score man! You will not regret buying that monitor, if you look through the room of doom pictures you will still see a lot of those being used.

[atari_overlord]

I dont know that I have ever posted in one of these threads. I also dont know if this is that great of a find but I am damn excited.

The Raiden Project (complete and Mint) PS1 14.99 Gamestop
I have wanted this game for so damn long.

[josekortez]

Circuit City

F-Zero GX (GC) - $14.99

Target

Max Payne (XB) - $4.99 (looking to trade this sucker for another Platinum Hits title, any takers?)

[-hellvin-]

More stuff for Wednesday....need to stop buying and start selling:

Colecovision w/ 2600 Adapter - 8

Found this at a thrift and at first saw the adapter and thought it was a broken colecovision until I saw the actual system a shelf higher. Snapped in the adapter since it had no price and picked it up for 8 bucks. Doesn't seem to work at all though, with the game it came with or any of the others I've had.

Then stopped by another thrift I hadn't been to in a WHILE:

NES
Dragon Warrior (Complete)
Dragon Warrior II (Box)
Final Fantasy (Box, Handbook)
Legacy Of The Wizard (Compete)
Pin Bot (Complete)
Shadowgate (Complete)
Ultima: Warriors Of Destiny (Complete)
Vegas Dream (Complete)

1.99 each. Has the price written in crayon on the boxes and cart labels tho...no idea how to get rid of that so....=\.

Think I'll be throwing up some stuff for sale that I don't need.

[leorange]

picked up a shrinkwrapped snes wild guns for $30 at a game store; figured that was a better deal than the loose copies of final fantasy II and super metroid that they were selling for $39.99 ;)

also got animal crossing, evolution worlds and resident evil for gamecube at a goodwill for $9.99 each. don't really know why, maybe because the novelty of seeing current-gen games at goodwill still hasn't worn off for me yet...

[sniperCCJVQ]

Anyone know why Die Schlumpfe isn't in listed in the online rarity guide?

Die Schlumpfe = The Smurf

[DigitalSpace]

Super NES:

Sparkster (loose) - $2.99

I've been looking for that one for a while. :)

[ClubNinja]

Where did you turn up the Cubivore? I've been seeking that game like crazy.

Actually, it was at a record store that has a small selection of used video games. Only $7, too.

[QBert]

NES powerpad - $10 in box with track and field

Brand new Pacman Classics and Frogger Adventures for Gameboy, $18 each.



Nothing super duper but I havent bought any gameboy games in a while.

[Qixmaster]

picked myself up a loose copy of twisted tales of spike mcfang for the SNES this morning for 2.50 :D

My SNES collection is looking bigger each day.

Also picked up a NES with mario/duckhunt, dr mario, duck tales all hookups for 6 bucks at goodwill.

[downfall]

Only one thing for me:

Legend of Zelda (Gold) - 99 cents + it came with the map to Link to the Past.. good stuff since I seem to be missing mine which would make my LttP game complete.

[DigitalSpace]

btw digitalspace, nice find on that snes mr. do! Was that at your local cd/game exchange?

Thanks! Yep, that would be the place. It's got to be one of my best SNES finds there, along with the $4 Earthbound and $5 Zero The Kamikaze Squirrel carts I found last month.

It's probably the only store where I don't remember the last time I left the place empty-handed. :)

Btw, nice find on Spike McFang as well.

[mizarkgram]

Just went on a little buying spree today.... picked up a few common items, most just for the sake of playing (non really for a collection)

N64:
Body Harvest (Complete)
Knife Edge NoseGunner (cart only)

Hybrid Heaven (cart only)

PSX:
Blast Chamber (Complete)
NBA Live '96 (Complete, Long Box)
Terry Pratchet's Discworld (Long Box, Complete)

SNES:
Super Bomberman

All of the PSX games look to have No scratches at all! I was impressed with discworld... 7.99 Canadian, and I have been watching these things gly away at around 20 bucks US for the last little while.... In total, I think I spent abouts 30 Canadian or so.... so not that bad of a deal for seven games

**edit** I found Super Bomberman for SNES this eveing at a Mom N Pop Video Store.... they had to search for the cart (it was somewhere in the back... but for 3.99 Canadian... it was worth it, loved that game as a kid

Very nice. Where'd you get it?

[Lucifersam1]

Actually I got it from a patron at the local library where I am curently working.. (sounds pitiful working at a library, eh? I used to be a programmer analyst but was laid off!). I have lots of conversations with people due to the nature of the job, and sometimes video games come up.. I tell them I love the old stuff.. so sometimes (not often) they bring stuff in. The kid said he wanted $25... so I took the stuff off his hands :) Two weeks before, another lady was cleaning her house and brought in a colecovision with the 2600 adapter, and a few games.. gave it to me for free! I think my luck has just about run its course there though!

Why thank you, I am indeed very happy with the find, great condition, works perfect and even has the door panel on it. Im just loving playing nes games on it. Would LOVE to hook up my 800xl again for it, but I can't find most of the cables for it, and think you can only hook up thing with AV cables, so I'll have to look more into it.
