Quite happy with that run ;D.

[josekortez]

I got Wild 9 (PS1, complete) at Gamestop for $2.79. I got Aggressive Inline (PS2, new) for $3.29 after using up $1.79 in store credit.

I passed up Axelay and Super Castlevania IV (SNES) loose at EB yesterday. I will probably go back today while the BOGO coupon is still good...

[Rogmeister]

Stuff I got today...all complete unless noted...

D-2 (Dreamcast)
San Francisco Rush 2049 (Dreamcast) I keep wanting to call it 2049er LOL
Worms Armageddon (Dreamcast)
Kao the Kangaroo (Dreamcast)

Tobal No. 1 (PS1)--Minus the FFVII sampler CD
The Italian Job (PS1)--New and sealed

[Sniderman]

Picked up a full set of Tron trading cards from 1982. Full set, including stickers - $10. Plus one unopened pack of those same cards and an unopened pack of Donkey Kong trading cards. - .25 each.

Here's what I passed up - a tabletop Coleco Donkey Kong. Fantastic shape, worked great, had the battery cover, etc. I was stunned to see it at a flea market. Guy was asking $45 for it. I offered $40. "I can get three times that for it on eBay!" he said. And "eBay" just happens to be the magic word that will cause me to walk away from a flea vendor.

[Cauterize]

Mega Man 3 - NES - £7.99

[Kevin H]

Goodwill I picked up the first version of the Intellivision console for 6 bucks.
I got Reel Fishing for Playstation for free from a store.

[MK_Man]

NES
Cybernoid (in box, no manuel) - 2.50
Top Secret Episode (in box, no manuel)-2.50
Pac-man (Namco, Complete in box good cond.) -8.00

I know the pac-man's kinda rare but was that a really good deal or just so-so?I'm new to having rare or even semi-rare games.

[-hellvin-]

Decided to do some eb buy one get one cleaning snes style:

Eb Games 1

SNES - Super Turrican
SNES - Secret Of Evermore
SNES - Robotrek
SNES - Lemmings

About 12 bucks

Eb Games 2

SNES - Breath Of Fire
SNES - Final Fight 3

6 bucks.

What's even better is I have the boxes for all of these and manuals for most of em ;D. The second EB had a SHITLOAD of carts that they took off the floor and the guy wouldn't print me a list cause he said they were all repeats and would only search for specific titles....sigh....I'll have to go back when the other guy is there.

[Habeeb Hamusta]

Games I got today...


:(




...Damn i hate High School

[Saabmeister]

Went on a thrift store run and got...

R.O.B for only 2.40 :D

Its missing the battery cover but it had a Gyro spinner and 2 red gyro discs.

[Howie6925]

not much for deals but i got:

Gyromite-nes-free
dragon warrior-nes-free


spider(ps)- $10

Clonewars/tetris-xbox-$15
Resident evil and Resident evil zero - GCN - $15each

[Ed Oscuro]

Ninja Gaiden Shadow ($9.99 sticker price, one cent better than the guide) and an original Game Boy game carrying case (the string of the Game Boy logo was coming out in just one place at the end, nothing major, and this was the cleanest of the ones there, so...), for $2.99 I believe.

Total, $13.76 I believe.

I might've gotten the Game Boy Color game case, but oh well. I'm pretty happy with what I got.

They had a few copies of Megaman 2 and 3 each, but at $16 or so each I passed. I'm rather surprised the Game Boy MM games don't go for more, as I heard they DID go for a bit of money on eBay.

Could always pick a copy up for somebody if they wanted, though.

[dreamcaster]

Good luck finding games for it though. Especially in the wild @_@

I had time to kill while waiting for the bus so i went and picked up:

Master System:
-Taito Chase HQ cart only: $3 AU
-Robocop 3 complete $11.95 AU

Psone:
Klonoa beach Volleyball, cd only $9 AU

Robocop 3 is an R9, but sucks to play (like most R9's i guess) and i have a feeling i only bought klonoa because i was playing it with a cute chick that worked at the pawn store. Chase HQ has the worlds evilest sticker on the front that is going to take industrial cleaner to remove. Hopefully i get it off before it smothers me in my sleep.

[Cauterize]

[-hellvin-]

Now I need to find the best lightgun to use for this game...

DON'T buy the "Starfire" gun. Ugh, I didn't really know which gun to buy a little while back so I tried this one and it broke on me after about an hour. The one that I wanna try is the small pistol looking one by SEGA.

[Kilik Kurosawa]

Thanks...but I don't have a GBA so I'll not bother looking for that one...

[josekortez]

I bought a complete copy of Ninja Gaiden for Xbox from a guy I know before he traded it in at GameCrazy. I saw him in the parking lot, and it only cost $20. :-P

[FlufflePuff]

Hexen (N64, complete)
Dracula: Resurrection (PSX, w/ instructions)

Picked up this at Gamecrazy today:

Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (Gamecube, sealed) - $29.99

I figure that's not too bad of a price, since eBay prices for sealed copies have been fluctuating from $45-90 lately. I'm hoping this becomes a rarity in the future.

AH, go buy Saturn games, even if you don't have a Saturn. I mean, they're Saturn games...

That is if they're good or cheap.

[Crush Crawfish]

Won MarioKart 64 sunday on ebay, and received it this afternoon. Got it for $30.

Does Mario kart 64 really go for that much these days? I'm assuming it was complete, right? That just seems a little high to me.

Anyway, I got Bonk's Revenge for TG16 in the mail today. It's missing the side label on the case though. Are all Bonk's revenges missing the side label, like Astal on the saturn? It's damned annoying. Anyway, the game rocks, though I got totally PWN'd by the ballerina boss. :o

[cbroddy]

Today I found

Playstation 2

Robin Hood Defender of the crown-$20
Rayman 3-$12

In one game store that was closed had several Sega Saturn games and many Sega Saturn imports that I was curious about.

holy crap. I see those all over the place. Maybe I should buy them to sell for some extra cash. Or maybe you just overpaid?

[Aussie2B]

I sold a loose Mario Kart 64 not long ago for about 11 bucks. $30 seems a bit high for a complete copy.

Clayfighter: Tournament Edition (SNES, loose)
Revenge of Shinobi (Genesis, loose)

Nothing spectacular, but not bad for $6.

The real surprise of the night was seeing that the EB sold used CDs....I have an EB about two minutes from my house, and they don't participate in this, so I was surprised. Amongst garbage like Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, rap, etc. I saw a couple of Iron Maiden CDs that I already had, so I decided to look through them. The real finds of the night were the CDs I found there:

Manowar - Hail to England - 5.99 (been looking for this forever)
Manowar - Into Glory Ride - 4.99 (have it on vinyl, but what the hell)
Manowar - Fighting the World - 4.99 (finally upgrading from my cassette)

Type O Negative - World Coming Down - 3.99
Celtic Frost - Into the Pandemonium - 2.99
Bolt Thrower - War Master - 2.99
Mortiis - Fodt til a Herske - 2.99

Plus I got a 10% discount with my discount card.....my friend bought a couple of other good Manowar CDs that I already had (plus a Dio and a Judas Priest album) for like 3.99 each. A nice surprise for the night.
