Weekday Finds 3/7 - 3/10

[Pantechnicon]

Goodwill today:

Paperboy 2 for Game Gear - $5
Castlevania Adventure for Game Boy - $2
Weird looking PSX controller with what looks like half a steering wheel in lieu of analog sticks - $4
Krups Espresso Maker - $6 (My beloved Salton died this week after ten years of daily faithful service :( ) - $7

I was pretty happy about the Castlevania because I used to have it a long time ago and could never beat it. Traded it in with a few other duds to upgrade to GBC. Now that I've got it again I'm going to beat the damn thing once and for all.

I haven't been to the 122nd store yet. I gotta check it out sometime.

Most of my searching is done in NE Portland.

I do most of mine in SE Portland.

PlayStation:

Ape Escape (complete, non-GH) - $4.99

[DigitalSpace]

Rockaway Records

Nothingface - Audio Guide to an Everyday Atrocity - 6
Nothingface - Pacifier - 7

YES!!!

Man, I've been looking for these albums EVERYWHERE. Really hard to find. Thank you Rockaway Records!

Congrats! Those albums kick ass. About two years ago, I was looking for both of those myself, and I can vouch that they are hard to find - especially Pacifier. I wound up finding a new copy at a Wherehouse records one day for $16.99. I went back later that day and traded in a few CDs I didn't care about and got it with store credit.

Speaking of Nothingface, I have a story about when I got Skeletons the day it was released. I went to Circuit City because it was cheaper than any other store in town, and I couldn't find it. So I ask an employee about it, and he goes to check the back. While he was gone, I noticed a stack of CD's sitting at the counter he was at, and I found a lone copy of Skeletons is in the middle of stack. The guy comes out and tells me he couldn't find anything and it must not have been released that week. I show him the CD and told him I found it in the stack and we had a good laugh and he rung it up.

FINALLY acquired a copy of Indiana Jones And The Infernal Machine for my N64 collection (Blockbuster rental-only exclusive). It's been a long time coming but our local Blockbuster put it up for sale at last and a sharp-eyed friend spotted it.

Marginally beat up box, filthy rental cart (that I had to glue back together since the locking tabs were broken) and no instructions....but I'm happy.

[EndlessChris]

Found some great deals.

Bust-A-Groove 2 - $25 (Yes! One of my most needed games)
Xevious 3D/G - $3
Megaman 6 w> Box - $10
Playstation 1 official multitap - $1

And best of all

Playstation 1 complete with original box and Tales of Mana, Saga Frontier 2, Breath of Fire IV, Threads of Fate, and the strategy guides for Xenogears and Tales of Destiny II, only $40.

Woo!

[Balloon Fight]

Got it from the same person I bought my box lot from a couple of weeks ago. I was wanting some NES boxes for some of my loose carts so I gave her my list and got those boxes. I didn't even ask for that Flintstones box. She just threw it in with the others. I paid $1 a piece for each of those boxes and most are mint. :)

Right now I'm not planning on selling it. I don't have the game but maybe I might luck out. ;)

Haha, ok. Well if you ever plan on selling it, send me a price. ;)

@Hellvin: Very nice pick up on that Slap Shot. Thats a freaking steal for a complete.

Just got these from ebay:

SNES:

War 3010 sealed

No escape complete - Been looking for this game with the box for about 4 months now.

WOOHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

I was bored and out and about today, filled out a job app for Pizza hut, somethng told me to go to gamestop for once. I went and dug through all of the loose PSX games and I got tothe bottom of the stack and thought why am I wasting my time looking for crap, then in the last few games I pulled out

A.........

Pyschic Detective

No box just the three discs, some scuffs and for only 7.19 with the discount card. :D

Not worth too much but rare as all heck. and definately my find of the year so far.

Also found some Mcdonalds toys and small handhelds and a Spyro toy and the thriftshop today, I had to buy a big bag of crap to get them though but it was worth it.

Turned into a great day today.

Woohoo. :D
