I stopped by Goodwill on a whim during my lunch break (it was either that or sit in the break room with an annoying jerk I can't stand). Turns out someone had just turned in their game collection or something.
http://www.rydia.net/joshnickerson/dp/wk1213.jpg
Scored Bible Adventures (with original sleeve!), Boulderdash, and another NES game case. I also scored 2 Master System games, which are going to a friend. And all of this for just five bucks! :D

[-hellvin-]

how exactly do you get those pics in your posts?

You have to host the images somewhere than link them. I recommend imageshak, it's quite nice. Just upload the ones you want on their website and after its done it'll even give you a nice link to copy/paste right into the thread ;D.

[evilmess]

$3.99 for a loose Earthbound I picked up at the Goodwill on my lunch break.

Incidentally, the EB manager gave me a sweet Knights of the Old Republic II standee, but it was too big to fit in my car, so I had to dump it. :(

[GamecubeFreek]

I went to EB and found some cool games at ok prices

Ogre Battle Limited Edition- PS/COMPLETE!!! and almost like new- $33
monster Rancher - PS/ complete - $7
Skeleton Warrior - PS/complete - $3
Zero Divide- PS/ complete -$2
Golden Axe 2- Genesis/loose- $5


I am used to finding hard to find games for ok prices, but never in good condition, let alone complete...For example, the same store has Phantasy Star 3 for 5 bucks, but I just never seem to get it because it has a big 3 written on it, and has a huge sticker covering almost the whole game.
-On a side note, I almost didnt buy Ogre Battle, because of the price, but I just couldnt help myself...would anyone else have bought it at that price?

[jdc]

I went to a video store looking to buy some Christmas movies. They had a game department as well.

I scored a brand new N64 memory card and a copy of Blue Stinger for my Dreamcast....both sealed. 99 cents for the memory card and Blue Stinger was free as part of a buy 2, get 1 free deal.

I also got near completes of Resident Evil 2 and Army Men Sarges Heroes, both for the N64 and both with cart and very clean box....but no instructions.

The Res Evil made my week! Didn't expect to find that one with box so easily. I had made a mental note just last week about needing to find it. You never know....... :D

[Cmosfm]

Picked up a couple NES games.

Side Pocket - 2.85
Super Spy Hunter - 4.85

I also could have had a boxed Buster Douglas Boxing for SMS for $9.99 on ebay, but like an idiot I forgot to bid on it :(

Cauterize I also envy you, another auction I lost a few months ago becuase of stupidity was a CIB Robocop 3 for SMS, it went for only $5.00

[Dimitri]

Picked up some stuff earlier today from Gamestop:
Blazing Dragons (PSX) free with B2G1F thingy...and only because they weren't doing that with PS2 games. >_>
Board Game Top Shop (PSX) $6...prolly could be had cheaper but it's a damn fun game so why not? :D
Final Fantasy Tactics (PSX non-GH) $12...mixed in with a stack of GH copies. Probably my favorite part of shopping these places.
Gekioh Shooting King (PSX) $8...another that could prolly be had much cheaper, but again I hear it's a great game.
Ico (PS2) $10

My friend also scored a free empty case for Einhander...he had the disc but no case for it, I was gonna buy it but they couldn't find the game. :/

Tub of NES games. $1.98 each, bought em all.

http://www.robohara.com/junk/koala.jpg
Commodore 64 Koala Pad. $4.98.

http://www.robohara.com/junk/atari410.jpg
Atari 410 Cassette Player. .79 cents.

http://www.robohara.com/junk/genesis.jpg
YAG (Yet Another Genesis) - $2.98

Then today I stop back by the same place and find:

http://www.robohara.com/junk/nes2.jpg
NES, 2 controllers, power supply and RF adapter - $12.96

http://www.robohara.com/junk/nes3.jpg
Gray NES Zapper - $1.98

So anyway, when I get to the front with all the NES stuff the lady behind the counter goes, "do you want one already in a case?" Then she pulls out another NES, also $12.96, in one of those old soft red and blue Nintendo carrying cases. So I got it, too. I'm hoping one of these doesn't blink.

[s1lence]

Saturn - Christmas Nights (complete)

hehe nice, i really want this, good xmas timing too!

[Flack]

Flack, where do you go to find all that stuff. You have the biggest scores from thrift store, what did you do tell them to hold everything for you? LOL

Icbrkr came to OKC not too long ago to go shopping with me and pretty much said the same thing. I don't know what it is, I guess there aren't a lot of retro gamers in these parts, but the thrifts are overflowing with this stuff here. I just went to this particular one yesterday, so you can see how much stuff is getting put out daily.

The worst part of thrifting for me is that it's so darn expensive, I find something every time I leave the house!!!

[joshnickerson]

http://www.rydia.net/joshnickerson/dp/wk1217.jpg
Another score at Goodwill, Super Gameboy with Tetris game, $3.
Oh, and my Messiah SNES Controllers came in! They're great, though I'm having trouble adjusting to the pseudo-analog control pad. O_O

720 - FREE
The Black Bass - FREE

It's the NTSC version. I'm glad I found this and Mutant League Football cheap, though. :) I've wanted both Mutant League games for a while.
