Weekend Finds - 5/8 - 5/9

[AB Positive]

sort of blah day for VG stuff, although I got 5 Little Mermaid promo signs for $5, she's pretty psyched about that. As for me:

SNES system in box, box has Mario All Stars promo sticker on it (no games though) - $8

Genesis 2/Sega CD 2 combo, no wires - $1


I have spare plugs and AV for the sega combo, should it work I'd happily look to swap it with a loose 1/1 combo...

@davidleeroth

Mr. Gimmick ! HoLy ShIt !!!!!!

One of the rarest PAL game

I have to agree, davidleeroth made one hell of a find. That Mr. Gimmick on eBay should pull in a hell of a lot more than $200, too (over 4 days to go).

[sisko]

w00t! Upon closer inspection, there were actually two complete sets of Looney Tunes Volume 4 in the same box!

Seeing how other sets have been going for $30-$75 on eBay, I decided to list the second one :)

To the person who got the gba for a buck: what the hell? Why would somebody sell it for 1 dollar?

was waiting for someone to spot that :D...yea so i was walking thru the spring fair and it was just sitting there marked for a dollar....at first I thought it was some sort of cheap toy (it WAS in the toy section), but i grabbed it, and after about 5 seconds i realized it was in fact real...so i rushed with it (and with my 2 DDR pads for 50cents) to the cashier and bought it...one of the parents must have just thrown a sticker on it and they never thought twice...im going to sell it to my friend for 50 bucks...ALL the stuff in my pics i got for a total of 25 dollars, so im coming out of this 25 dollars ahead :D

[tholly]

I got a

Zelda T-Shirt that has a picture of Link from the NES days holding a piece of the triforce and it says Hero under him. I got it for free from my buddy that works at EB.

I also got a little plastic thing for Mario & Luigi's Superstar Saga. It was on the GBA demo unit, but it fell off, so my EB buddy gave me that for free also.

Well, despite my current crippling poverty, I had a nice find on Saturday that was too good to pass up:

Intellivision (original version) w/ The Voice unit & Golf cart - £19.99

Not the cheapest deal, but it's the first Inty I've seen in the wild, and it's been too long (nearly a year) since I had a new system, so I couldn't resist snapping this one up. Works nicely aswell. Better get reading up on it, I guess... :D

[QBert]

I stopped by a garage sale and while they didnt have anything there, I did ask the lady and she said her husband had a Intellitable at home he wanted to sell.
Intellitable eh? ;) ok I'll call him.
Anyways turns out to be an Intelly III with like 20+ games in boxes and even 2 still wrapped. Im sure they are original wrapped, and they still have $19.99 sticker on them. I payed $40 for all, although he wanted $45. Most of the games I had but I did get box upgrades and I got to complete a few games I didnt have complete before.
New games I never had before are:

Vectron
Locomotion
Super Pro Football
Math Fun - Red box, NOT Electric Company - This I didn't see on the DP guide, hmmmm.
And the others I dont want to list here I had already.
