POST IMAGES THIS WEEK INSTEAD OF LISTING YOUR FINDS! :angry: LOL

use www.photobucket.com!


CAPS ARE ANNOYING!

And I think people don't usually post pics (at least not alot) because it's hard for people on dialup to browse.

Edit: And, large pictures screw up the thread where you have to scroll left and right to read a persons message. Also a tad annoying.

[captain nintendo]

Congrats.

I was going to pick up more....Is it worth it to?

They also have some PS2 Sharkport Hubs for $9.99..and other Misc gaming items.

[AFGiant]

Today was a good day. Clearance sale at Toys R Us. Everything was all ready reduced, and THEN 50% off. All of it was new and sealed. Here was my grab. I'll probably go back with a price guide.

N64:
Perfect Dark---I got it for $5

Dreamcast:
Maken X----I got it for $5
The Typing of the Dead---I got it for $5 again. I don't have the DC keyboard yet, but I'll pick up the one that's been collecting dust in the back room of my dad's videostore.

PS2:
Magic Pengel---Ok, this was strange but awesome. They had it marked for $40. Half off would be $20 right? Well, they only charged me 10 :D I won't complain :evil:

That stuff would have cost me $70 at there prices, but I got it for $25
:P

This was also interesting: all those games, except for Magic Pengel, were M rated, making those three the first M rated games I've ever owned @_@
I never really realized that I hadn't owned any before...guess I never felt the need, eh?

My brother also got the Platinum/Onyx GBA:SP for his birthday today.

Now, I have a few questions:
How much would these go for on ebay?
Perfect Dark, sealed
Pokemon Stadium 1 pack, new
there was also this bass fishing game for the DC. I don't know if you can tell me just from that.

Thanks!

Perfect Dark, sealed


See for yourself, http://search.ebay.com/perfect-dark-n64-sealed_W0QQsokeywordredirectZ1QQfromZR8

on ebay it goes for 5 bucks BIN sealed, so you wont make profit from that, just open it up and play it, its a fun game.

[SegaAges]

you guys are a bad influence on me :)

every since i started coming here, i have been making at least 1 trip a week to the 2 goodwills in my area. now that i see that somebody got a 7200 and all those games for 9.99, it makes me want to go right now, but too bad they are closed. i guess an early morning goodwill trip is set to go. anybody know what time goodwill opens during the week?

9am. I don't like going that early cause I think my locations don't put out most stuff until a little later.

Sorry, my internet is under siege right now, and ebay was a little more than it could handle right then. I guess I should have said that in my post LOL

Awesome score man.

[josekortez]

At EB, I bought the following games and put $5 down on Guilty Gear XX Reloaded:

Apocalypse (PS1, complete) - $2.69
Rascal (PS1, complete) - $1.79

I found Uprising X (PS1) for $2.99 at Gamestop last night. I might go back and buy it.

At this time, I'm still waiting on Street Fighter Collection (PS2) to arrive at the FYE I work at part time. :angry:

Edit Post:

After I entered this last night, I bought Uprising X at Gamestop and Castlevania: Lament of Innocence for $10 from Target.

[potatobob]

I picked up StarOcean: Till the End of Time at EB and i got a complete Pokemon Snap for $4.00.

[pookninja]

[GrayFox]

Picked up

PSX
WarHawk (Longbox) - $2.99
R-Types - $9.99

PS2
Gran Turismo (GH *ah well*) - $7.99

[-hellvin-]

More Genesis games. All loose, but I have the necessities to complete them ;D.

Gamecrazy

Trouble Shooter - 2
Fatal Labyrinth - 3
F15 Strike Eagle II - 3
Shove It! - 2
Cybercop - 2

Gamezone

The Immortal - 4

Eb Games

Midnight Resistance - 2
Socket - 5

Well, I didn't think I'd find anything today I needed but I did! I think I have officially exhausted my every last source of places to get genesis carts. With the sudden disappearance of Gamedude and the closing of his store it's another sad blow to my list of places to get carts....

Guess I gotta resort to flea's, thrifts and ebay =\.

[DigitalSpace]

SNES carts:
Earthbound $6
Super Noah's Ark 3D $1 :hmm:

Noah's Ark is a strange looking, looks like it can be piggy-backed like Genesis' Sonic and Knuckles. Any ideas?

Super 3D Noah's Ark is the only unlicensed SNES game released in the US, and you have to place Wolfenstein 3D or Doom on top of the game to play it. It plays like those two games, but you play as Noah throwing fruit at animals to get them back into the ark. Rumor has it that id gave Wisdom Tree the Wolfenstein 3D game engine as revenge because Nintendo (which was still "family friendly" back then) changed some of the content in the game. It's an R6 in the rarity guide. I wish I could find a copy somewhere.

Nice score on that Earthbound too. I found a loose cart for $4 earlier this year and I was a little surprised that I got it so cheap, since I found it at a store that normally charges anywhere from $10-$25 for SNES RPG's.

[tholly]

Ballon Fight
M.C. Kids
Pac-Man (Tengen)
Destination Earthstar
Mega Man 6
Bomberman
Darkman w/ Box & Instructions

$26 for it all

[potatobob]

Legend of Mana for PSX - $29.99

[AFGiant]

I went to my local goodwill today, because they have this stack of NES/SNES games there. I didn't have enough time to look through them all last week when I went, so I figured I'd hit them up this time.
Gone @_@
Someone cleaned them out. All that was left was a mario/duck hunt and a super-gameboy.
I still ended up grabbing Pac-Man and Space Invaders for the 2600 for 1.99 each.

But, there was 1 oddity left. The guy who was there (I guess he used to have a SNES back in the day) told me it was a SNES cleaning kit. It looked like a dark grey SNES cart, but it had this little button on that side that popped the cart in 2 when pushed. There were slots inside that looked like parts went there, but the only thing inside was a piece of flexible plastic-y styrophome-y thing that probably didn't do anything important. What's the deal with that cleaning kit thing? Anything special?

[wufners]

Yeah, you got to be fast at those Goodwills. Only Genesis sports titles seem to have a long shelf life.

A few weeks back I stopped off at a Goodwill during my lunchbreak and they had a whole pile of Saturn stuff including: Steet Figher something, Resident Evil, and House of the Dead amongst others. I was tempted by all all of 'em, but was trying to keep my spending under $10. So I gambled and took an unidentified import cartridge and some other game I had never heard of (games were $2.99 a piece and the cart was $3.99.)

Later I was kind of wishing I had grabbed House of the Dead and then when I looked it up in the Rarity Guide, I couldn't believe it!! Of all the games there, I had chosen the second least valuable (there was also a Hockey game.)

The next day I rushed back on my lunch only to find everything was gone, except for the lone Hockey game. Ah well.

[max 330 mega]

sux to be you :)

i actually snagged a complete in box SNES cleaning kit at salvation army awhile back for 99 cents. they're not exceptionally rare or anything, you can snag one off ebay for less than $10. but, here's a scan i took...

Lol...I was actually going to buy this for 25 at gamezone (bastard prices off the dp guide) and when I saw the manual it was a sideways. Then I noticed on the back it was in all different languages and he had the pal version....damn!

[CRV]

Then I noticed on the back it was in all different languages and he had the pal version....damn!

I think all Sega of America did was take the European version and slap a new barcode sticker on it (please correct me if I'm wrong).

http://spaceballsthewebsite.com/perkar/snescleaning.jpg

ah. Thanks for the help. I guess its not worth picking up for $2 if its missing stuff and not boxed.

[tededfred]

I went for a long bike ride today to 2 thirfts. Only saw a couple things which I've been passing up for awhile now. I forgot my backpack anyways so unless it was something i really wanted, I wasn't going to get it. But then a bastard bee stung me on the hand about 5 blocks from my house. :X

[Aussie2B]

Today I got Tales of Symphonia. :) It was a slightly late birthday present from my boyfriend.

Oh, and yesterday I managed to get the GameStop Star Ocean 3 poster for free (which I also have my boyfriend to thank for). :) When we ask if they had any, the guy there was talking about how we had to pre-order the game, then he was corrected by some other guy who said it already came out, so he was saying that we had to buy it. I said I didn't have much on me, and we were almost about to leave empty-handed, but then some lady in the store said to go ahead and just give me one because they were going to throw them out soon anyway. Then we hauled ass out of there with it before they changed their mind. :P We didn't even buy a single thing while we were in there, haha (but we have spent A LOT there over the years). Now I just need to find a way to get the EB poster. :P Probably will have to go with eBay since there are no EB stores around here.

That's it for me, and it's probably going to stay that way for a long time. I'm back in NYC and back to school, so the summer and all the garage sales and game hunting is pretty much over for me (especially now that GameStop no longer sells NES, SNES, and Genesis carts). For the rest of the year it'll likely be some imports now and then from eBay and online stores and maybe some stuff from the Salvation Army if I'm brave enough to face that horrid smell once again.
