weekend find dec11-12 !!

[racecar]

holy crap !! this week i saw a bunch of loose/part's/damage good's..i still have'nt decided to buy them or not x_x

i found one of them DREAMCAST __samba game controller (blue) (the 2 shaker thing only, it don't got no connector/mats to the DC) ...should i buy it ??($20) also found a bunch of atari floppy games for $1 each

then i saw a sega nomad with a crack screen( dime size burn -in spot) but it still work's... that game store still asking $50 for it..but that game store alway's ask too much for their crap's( all the game(ps2/XB/GCUBE) price are the same $39.99..and snes are 19.99 with some exception(rpg/rare item's)
i don't know if i should get them are not x_x
somehow i got a feeling that iam going to regret this(passed up/ buy it) either way !!

pick up complete(boxed) 3do system(smaller size one) w/3 game for 19.99 @ thrift store :D

[norkusa]

I wouldn't buy any of that stuff at those prices. $20 for incomplete Samba maracas and $50 for a Nomad with a cracked screen and burn-in? Way too much. If you are considering spending that much on janky items, you might as well go to Ebay and pay a little more to get 'em in better condition.

[Ed Oscuro]

I thought this was a finds thread? Uh...okay.

[Porkchop]

[AFGiant]

Picked up my bro's christmas gift at EBGames (used Time Crisis II. He love's those shooters and I've got some extra guncon2s :) )

[Famidrive-16]

eh.... I found this last night, but I got a free Ratchet and Clank: UYA demo disc.

Is this that game that corrupts the memory card? I'm scared to try it out. *_*

[-hellvin-]

Well, I stayed up doing too much after I got home late last night from work and I slept through my alarm thus missing the rummage sale and swap meet I wanted to go through. Lesson learned for next week. I did get up anyhow and hit some other places:

Pawn 2

Dreamcast - Sonic Adventure (complete) - 5
Dreamcast - Sonic Adventure 2 (complete) - 5

Finally used up my trade credit...been wanting to play the new gta and didn't feel like waiting for the xbox version.

[qbertandernie]

got a couple of boxed golf NES games for $2.50 each

a ps1 multitap for $1

a nintendo fusion tour cd for $1

another video game related cd i forget for $1

and a hotel n64 controller. this cant be too common as ive never seen one, and its licensed from 1997. worthless because it only works there, but cool nonetheless. probably worth about $30 less than i paid for it...($30)... but i like it!

[Cmosfm]

Thus, the "corrupt your card" rumors start.

The only demo disk to corrupt your memory card is the Holiday 2004 Demo Disk WITH Viewtiful Joe on it, and actually, it's only playing the Viewtiful Joe 2 demo that hurts your card.

Oh, did you know that you can take your memory cards out and still play games? :D

[qbertandernie]

running a search people have mentioned the hotel n64 systems in the past. if you care to dump the money on this nonworking controller, the hotel manager was very cool about selling one..he said they have several in the back for repalcements...still pretty pricey to look at, but thats what half of my stuff is anyways...

The wife and I went Christmas shopping and I was able to hit a few pawns on the way. I got:

Star Wars Battlefront PS2 $25
MST3K Volume 1 $15

And this controller for $5

http://home.ripway.com/2004-5/119502/control.JPG

It looks like Namco's Jogcon. The packaging is in Japanese and it has the Gran Turismo logo on the wheel. In fact it says GT 2000. I usually have no interest in cotrollers but this one was cool. I pretty much had to get it.

[98PaceCar]

Had some luck today. First time in a while.

Got what looks like a NIB Pikachu N64 for $20. This one is a bit different the others I've seen though. It doesn't have the pack in game and according to the box, isn't supposed to. Is this any more rare than the TRU one that does have the game? Regardless, I don't think this was ever used and is 100% complete!

Boxed SNES
Super Strike Eagle
Biometal
Ultraman
Alien 3

Boxed Megadrive
The Incredible Hulk

Boxed Genesis
Super Monaco GP 2
Bimini Run
Dick Tracey
Rambo 3
Talespin
Space Harrier 2
Phelios
Alien 3
Predator 2
Outrun 2019

Total for all the games was a hair over $50. They are all ex-rentals though, so not quite as nice as I'd like. Still, not a bad haul!

[Ryaan1234]

Yesterday, I bought a sealed Kirby's Adventure game.

Galaga Cab for $20 :eek 2: .

...but before anybody gets too excited, it's been completely painted over in black, and there is no marquee, monitor or control panel. Just shameful. So I'm going to MAME the cab and then hang on to that precious game board for the day that I eventually get an honest Galaga cab to add to the collection.

As an added bonus, there was a Super Mario Bros. marquee stuffed inside this thing. It'll go on the wall with the others.

Whoever said cabs were addictive hit it square on the head.

[shvnsth]

[VACRMH]

Walked into a local gamestore with my Dad and noticed they finally had some Sega CD games...

Dragon Rider: Chronicles of Pern -$1.00

Sega Saturn Bootleg Demo CD - $1.50

[jdc]

It wasn't so much what I found.....but what our local Walmart found. Our local Walmart finally discovered 3 cases of that PS2 3-game Racing Pack in the warehouse....so I was very happy to score one. $14 here in Canada...not a bad deal at all. I was wondering why the hell I hadn't seen it around.

(it's the one where you get Corvette, Ford Racing 2 and Super Trucks Racing)
