WEEKEND FINDS:limited edition..THIS THREAD IS WORTH MORE NOW

[icarwngs55]

I went to ToysRus and got:
Tomb Raider collectors Edition: I, II, III ($9.00)
Final Fantasy IX ($6.00) non-greatest hits

I don't know if I should open them for (I won't esp since I don't have a PS w/ me) and two I don't know if I should keep them or return them...was this a good price for them

Also at ToysRus they had one 5inch PS1 LCD (5 inch) screen left ($18.98) box was a bit dented and seal was ripped...Should I get it?

Also they had a combo lcd/ps1 pack for 59.98...Should I get it?

Goodwill had a dreamcast with a crapped up box and it came with a controller and a fishing controller (not official DC; BLUE) that had the wire taped together with black tape, also had instructions....Should I get it ($17.00)?

Yes friends...I had a hesitant day

i'LL GIVE YOU TEN CENTS FOR IT LOL

Well, the FFIX sounds decent but is the TR collection really worth anything? Not dissing those games, though...I've got III and I think it's alright, all things considered :P

[yoursisterspretty]

I bought my PSone/LCD combo for $39.99 at TRU and I have to say I do kind of regret it. It was an impulse buy that I have no use for at all. My 5501 PSX still works great, and if I ever go on a trip I have my N-Gage and GBA. But I guess it'll come in handy one day if the 'ol PSX dies, but otherwise it's just going to sit in its box. So ask yourself if you're ever going to use it first. And I still think $60 is a decent price, not great though.

[whoisKeel]

out of all that stuff, if you don't have a dreamcast...get one for $17. it may not have the most expansive library, but it has some truly golden (and cheap!) games.

[Jibbajaba]

I'm not a huge Tomb Raider fan, but for $9 I definitely would have bought that, too.

Aw man, come on! You gotta love how good PSX games look on the Sony LCD. Revitalized my interest. Mucho impressivo.

Oh, I'm not saying they don't look great, they do. Even high rez stuff like the Ridge Racer Turbo disk. But my PSX also looks great on my 27" TV through S-Video.

Cool.. DKC 3 Demo.. can i ask how much you got it for? ;) i picked up one just before christmas, it's a sweet game, and jus the existance of DKC3 demo leads me to think there most also be a DKC2 demo WITH the little white "not for resale" sign on the front of the cart label.

PS. I know there are DKC2 demo's but they don't have the "Not for resale" on the front label.

And I found a generic Video Game Cartridge Storage Unit with box for the Atari 2600, and Odyssey from 1981 made by Dimensions For Children, copyright 1981. $.99

[-hellvin-]

Went over to the nearby gamers and scored some killer stuff:

Bust A Move 4 Manual - free

Dreamcast - Worms World Party (complete) - 12

PSX - Devil Dice (complete) - 10
PSX - Jersey Devil (complete) - 5

[Qixmaster]

Well today i had next to nothing to do so i hit EVERY pawn in my town. I scored big today, but i will save that for last :)

Goodwill
Dreamcast
Marvel Vs. Capcom - $3
Ecco: Defener of the Future - $3

St. Vincent Depaul
Sega CD
Ecco The Dolphin - $3

4 Corners Cosignment Center
Colecovision
Cosmic Avenger - $3

Hwy 99 pawn shop
NES

A-American buyers in Glenwood Store
NES
Golf mint in box - $3
Ice Hockey mint in box - $3

A-American buyers Springfield Store
SNES
Zero: kamikazie Squirrel - $5


And the last find i made was by far the best i have pulled off this year.
The funny thing is, i was debating whether i should stop or not, but considering the luck i had had today i figured what the hell, one more couldn't hurt. Boy was i glad i stopped.

I managed to snag 31 Playstation 1 games for $90. So that sounds like a pretty good score... getting ps1 games for $2.90 (and half) per title... but the kicker is...22 of the 31 games are FACTORY SEALED :)

Since there was a Sony Plant right near my town, it seems that people who worked there got these games for free... and a good chunk of them never opened their games. And the ones that they did open look either unplayed or played once.

The titles are as follows... also, these are all non-greatist hits, so even better :)

Opened, but look brand new and are complete & minty fresh

Final Fantasy VII
Spyro the Dragon
Trap Gunner
ReBoot
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Pocket Fighter
D (jewel case version)
Beyond the Beyond
Bushido Blade

Factory Sealed Titles are Below
Shooter: Space Shot
Blaster master: Blasting Again
Battle Hunter
Razor Racing
Spec Ops: Covert Assault
Twisted Metal III
(C-12) Final Resistance
Razor Freestyle Scooter
R-Types
Skydiving: Extreme
MDK
Crime Killer
Rouge Trip
Gundam Battle Assault 2
Silent Bomber
Martian Gothic
Lode Runner
Pocket Fighter :D
Klonoa :D :D :D
Armored Core: Master Arena
Armored Core: Project Phantasma
Armored Core


Paid just under $3 each... a good deal methinks ;)

i found a copy of Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures at Blockbuster for $9.99, the funny thing is there was another copy of the same game for 29.99
i'm still in disbelief.

[Famidrive-16]

PS. I know there are DKC2 demo's but they don't have the "Not for resale" on the front label.



Is there a way to tell if it's a demo?

I'd be very interested in any complete genny games I don't have ;D. You remember what they have?

[ARCZero]

Found some cool stuff this weekend, including SNES Fun 'n Games, SNES S.O.S., and N64 Magical Tetris Challenge. They were around $10 each. Gotta love the Fun 'n Games (R8).

For $5 I got an interesting SNES game - Dragon Ball Z 3 Spanish version. I'd think it was a pirate but the label is professionally printed. Anyone ever hear of a SNES DBZ 3 game in Spanish? Maybe it was a South American release? It is in NTSC...

if this a genuine shrinkwrap and not a reseal, then i picked up a shrinkwrapped nes final fantasy for $4 at the swap meet today. :)

[Xexyz]

Well on Saturday I decided to get my lazy ass out to the local Toys R Us before the killer snow storm hit NY. Got 4 Dreamcast games:

Sonic Adventure 2- $12
The King of Fighters: Evolution- $4 :D
Sega Marine Fishing- $3
Death Crimson OX- $3

Okay, I bought Death Crimson OX knowing that I have no clue what type of game it is. Could someone tell me, what genre is it and is it any good. I'm too lazy to open the games up. They probably will stay sealed for a few weeks.

[Rugal]

I can check back monday.

It's very harsh to judge the Tomb Raider games unless you've played the first one. It's really a classic, and the series kind of goes to crap after that.

Anyway, my big find was "Home Improvement" for the SNES. I know it's terrible, but I honestly didn't even think it truly existed until I saw it at the store. 5 dollars, which is what it is worth by the Guide, so I didn't go wrong. (Except that it's a pretty boring game.)
