I got Dragon Warrior IV complete and mint condition. Book is mint, maps
show little wear at all, game and box minty too.

I traded
Zone of Enders 2
Mega Man Anniversary (GC)
Finding Nemo
Champions of Norrath


I thought this was a good trade considering the above games aren't anything
spectacular.

Also got my

Elevator Action Returns for Saturn in the mail and
Warsong for Genesis

[jajaja]

I won it off ebay last week and it arrived today

[thegreatescape]

I suppose i should post my finds from my trip to America......2 weeks ago ^^;

Playstation Megaman 8 greatest hits- $6 US
Playstation Legend of legaia- $6 US
2 minty brand new Saturn 3D controllers- $15 US for the pair
PS2 shadowblade arcade stick- $8 US
Quickman (from megaman) action figure- $5 US

For the record, PAL Platinum re-releases are heaps sexier than Greatest hits and I enjoyed the trip ;)

[Cmosfm]

Today was fair, I got a lot of decent stuff but not much I really needed...

Ka-Ge-Ki - Fists Of Steel - Genesis Complete - 2.50
Task Force Harrier EX - Genesis Complete - 2.50
Rampart - Genesis Complete - 3.00

Gitaroo Man - PS2 Sealed - 10.00
Ico - PS2 Non-GH - 5.00
Unison - PS2 - 6.00

Ninja Gaiden - Xbox Loose - 6.00 (IF ANYONE HAS AN EXTRA BOX/MANUAL PM ME)

Clock Tower - PS1 - 3.00

Infiltrator - NES Boxed - 2.00

6 Sealed copies of Mortal Combat Annihilation Soundtrack - 5.00 total (I honestly don't know what the hell I'm gonna do with these)

Gitaroo Man, Ico, Unison and Clock Tower should be up for trade/sale on here or eBay sometime. I just have to decide if I want to keep the sealed Gitaroo Man or my open/mint copy.

[Simply Dave]

Gitaroo Man, Ico, Unison and Clock Tower should be up for trade/sale on here or eBay sometime. I just have to decide if I want to keep the sealed Gitaroo Man or my open/mint copy.

Personally, I'd have to sell the sealed copy. In the last few months I've seen some sealed copies go for 100+ dollars. I have a sealed copy and it's getting sold as soon as I find a opened copy to replace it with.

Anyway, it's a great find. :)

[josekortez]

Friday, I went to EB Games and got the following PS1 games complete:

Driver 2
Frogger (GH)
Mega Man 8 (GH)
Mega Man X4 (GH)
Metal Gear Solid
Tetris Plus (GH)

Last night, I got these complete:

Choro Q (PS2)
SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos (XB)
Technic Beat (PS2)

By trading in cheap Toys R Us games I bought, I would estimate that all this cost roughly $15.

Wow, you're right! I was thinking it was still hitting 50.00. :eek 2:

Yep, I'm selling the new one

[Big Papa Husker]

Where did you find Guitaroo?

[Cmosfm]

Where did you find Guitaroo?

Flea Market, some guy had a bunch of PS2 games he was clearing out from a store he owned, nothing else worthwhile really other than waht I bought.

I honestly thought Unison sold for more than it did, it's a pretty rare game, and seems to only get a few bucks on eBay. :(

[Big Papa Husker]

I passed on Unison at TRU for 2.29 or something....

[Cmosfm]

I passed on Unison at TRU for 2.29 or something....

Why? It's a fun game, and any PS2 game is worth 2.29.

[Aussie2B]

My Raystorm from eBay arrived today:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=8168529304

One of the hinges of the case were broken, so I had swap in a new lid. Other than that, it's in great condition. :) This is the second R7 in my collection (both are for PlayStation, oddly enough). I'm dirt broke, so this will be about it for the time being. Now the only games I'll be looking for are Saga Frontier and Einhander without manuals, which I'm only casually keeping an eye out for (since it can be a bit hard to specifically find copies that are missing manuals; most copies are either loose or complete).

[Kai]

Boxed Mega Man for IBM/Tandy

So far, I just picked up Soldiers of Fortune for the SNES (R6) for $2 on ebay. I've got a whole mess of rarities on my watch list though.

Oh, and afterwards I stopped by GameCrazy and got a weird Tyco SNES thing called the 'Power Plug'. Basically sits between the SNES and a regular SNES controller and gives you turbo functions etc. Haven't tested it yet. Was meant to be $2.99 but the guy rang it up wrong so it was $1.99.

I actually found something this week! after MONTHS of dead silence!

Sega Genesis Model 1 w/ all parts- $5
Solider of Fortune for PC- 75 cents

everything else I found this week, I put up for sale

[zektor]

Although I should not be buying anything right now, I found King Of Fighters Extreme and X-Men for the N-Gage today, and of course picked them up.

[Xexyz]

Today I purchased the following (loose unless noted):

Sonic Adventure (DC,complete)
Gradius (NES)
Double Dragon II (NES)
Ghosts N Goblins (NES)
Castlevania II (NES)
Pacman, Tengen (NES, licenced?)
Genghis Khan II (Genesis)

Total: $25

Basically got a couple of must have commons for my NES today. Also, I got a strange Tengen Pacman. The store I bought it from had 2 versions of the Tengen Pacman. One that was the usual Tengen black cart, and the other was in a regular licenced NES cart but still had Tengen on the cart art (I purchased this one instead. Is this one more uncommon or something?). The rarity guide only lists 1 Tengen Pacman and then the much rarer Namco Pacman for NES.

Tengen did that with Pac-Man, Gauntlet, and RBI Baseball. Licensed versions are harder to find, especially RBI Baseball which I haven't seen very much at all. I wouldn't exactly call them RARE though.

It's not rare....the dp guide mentions it under the tengen description of pacman and basically says it's equal in rarity, and the licensed one was released first.

[dreamcaster]

Official Japanese Dreamcast Controller (Green) - $5 AUD

:-P

*is jealous over how cheap games are in the States*

[-hellvin-]

Did this game come with a manual?

Yes it sure did. I wondered this until I found my copy at eb for 5.

Hey Hellvin, I'll be in Apache Junction next week, how is this place for 8 bit and under stuff? I saw you got some complete NES games here. I don't mean to horn in on your turf, but I gots me the buying urges, if you know what I mean. ;) Any other good places you can recommend? Thanks!

[Nez]

Bookmans has a great selection of NES games, but there all loose. They sometime have SMS games but nothing great. As for atari and anything older then NES forget about it.

You could check Games+ in Mesa (intersection of Alma School & University), they have some boxed NES stuff. Bookman's is really hit & miss on boxed items - most NES there will be loose. The thrifts in the East Valley are fairly well picked through too but the ones in Apache Junction occassionally turn up goodies - I got about 20 CIB Intellivision games there on one trip.
Good luck!

Hey guys, thanks a lot for the info, I really appreciate it. I'm kind of on a budget, so there isn't going to be any cleaning out on my trip. Plus I have to convince everyone else to go also, unless I can get away by myself or with my wife (she looooves thrifts). Thanks again!

:rocker: :hail:

[WanganRunner]

My Raystorm from eBay arrived today:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=8168529304

I had that on my watch list. Nice catch, if I hadn't been out of town and away from my PC as the auction was ending I'd have been bidding for it.
