I'll start this off. Went to the fleamarket for the first time this year, but they only had games that were wet from the rain :/ Found G.Darius for PS1 at EB though, as well as Sanvein, but I didn't pick it up because I didn't know that it only had a budget release. I'll grab it next week, need more shmups :D

Had my first ever Super Famicom find in the wild!

http://img86.exs.cx/img86/549/sfc0rv.jpg

The boxed SNES adapter and complete DBZ 3 were shrinked together for $9.99, I found the loose Street Fighter for $4.99 in another part of the store. No other SFC stuff to be found in the store, but I'm not complaining. I also picked up a PS2 game I had never heard of before...Life Line. A survival/horror game that's completely microphone controlled...I'm thinking Resident Evil meets Seaman. LOL Anyway, for seven bucks I figured it would be worth a try, and possibly a future rarity.

Got a PSP pre-order from Gamerush after trading in a bunch of crap games thanks to the "trade 3, get an extra $5 per game" deal going on right now. Racked up $75 in credit alone from that. :P

Can't wait 'till the 24th!

My original PS2 finally bit the dust after 4 years and two trips to Sony to be fixed.
So went out and got the slim model version at my local Wally World (Wal-Mart)
They had a Sony rep demoing GT4 with a bunch of freebies for the customers. So I picked up:

Rise of the Kasai demo
Jak 3 demo
World Tour Soccer 2006 demo
GT4 lanyard
Playstation pen

He was also giving away hats and t-shirts for people playing the game but I didn't have the time.

Anyway freebies rock!!! :)

Well didn't physically go out and hunt for games. But a large box came in today with the latest wave of my online finds.. Note all this stuff came in ONE BOX! So it was like christmas sifting through the box seeing what came in. :D

First off are the boxed famicom games. Got another star wars because my original one was in kinda bad shape. Also wanted to get a boxed complete Legend of Kage II.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/jviloria/Misc/boxed.jpg

Here are the loose games. Any duplicates are due to game lots/sets:

Just some Genesis and SNES games. I also am thinking about boycotting GameCraze (not GameCrazy) after getting yet more dirty SNES games (the place is a dump, the leave their carts out on shelves which isn't wierd or anything but the filth and dust just collects and they never clean the place)

Thunder Spirits (SNES, loose)
Final Fight (SNES, loose)
Raiden Trad (SNES, loose)
World Heroes (SNES, loose, eek gad! what was I thinking when I purchased this!)
Atomic Runner (Genesis, loose)
Robocop vs. the Terminator (Genesis, complete, this game USED to be fun when I was young and impressionable but now its meh)
Mega Turrican (Genesis, with instruction manual and box inserts, but in a blue video rental case)

And Mega Turrican is the last straw as to why I might stop shopping at said GameCraze. The cart is in perfect shape but no matter how hard I try, it won't boot up! It was my most favorite find today, more so than Thunder Spirits even! ARGH!

beeshu ultimate arcade controller TG-16 $4
(the guy had a box with 4 loose TG-16 controller, this and a chopped up TG-16 CD add on power supply, yes i badgered him hoping to find the console and games but no luck. had their been a turbo tap in there i might bit, he wanted $15 for the whole lot)

i got this from it -

NES micro machines
SNES castlevania, tetris/mario, great circus
GEN battletoads, wacky worlds, golden axe II, virtual bart, mutant league hockey

Today at EB I bought Firefighter F18 for the PS2, extremely hard game to find, first time I had seen it in the wild. Considering I have seen it for $75 and up on ebay. I only spent $30 on it, complete and mint condition.

Sorry to hear that, it's such a great game, I love it to death. I've always wondered about randomly non working genesis carts. My golden axe 2 (until I replaced it) would show the boot up credits and then nothing. I played Grind Stormer today as well and whenever I get a powerup it freezes :*(.

Spent a lot at the K-Mart sales today, nothing of collector's interest, but did snag a $10 new Final Fight One on GBA.

At EB:
Tecmo's Deception - $4.99
Evil Zone - $2.99

another EB
G-Darius - $4.99

G-Darius had me the most giddy...been looking for that one for awhile at a decent price, and this one doesn't even look used. Someone must have recently traded it in, because I've looked there for it about 5 times.

Haven't been looking this weekend but I did scam EB Games and pick up Vice City for the Xbox that had been mislabeled as the PS2 version. Therefore, instead of $30, it only cost me $9. 8-) Sounds awesome with my new surround system, which I got for free... well I got the Denon receiver for free and a set of Sharp surround sound speakers for $12 from Goodwill. So actually, not a bad weekend!

Then I found a complete Ultra Bust-A-Move (Xbox) for $9.99, passed on a Gauntlet Legends for Game Cube for $19.99 at Hastings. Is the Gauntlet rare?

As soon as I walked in the crowded flea Market saw a kid putting a SNES boxed DKC system in a bag..I just missed it..But,I asked her how much she/the vendor wanted $45.00 for a trashed N64 system so I don't thnk the kid got a great deal on it...

I spent about $100.00 at the Flea market on Misc Stuff plus..$30.00 on my Son on Misc Diecast Cars..One box I bought had over 50 new condition Hotwheel and Matchbox cars in it..That was $15.00
Looking through it afterward I found a car with NINTENDO on it..(That's for Daddy)

The Atari Video Pinball was a haggle for $2.00 with the Commodore Modem and Cart.
((Finally I found an Atari Video Pinball for my dad and can keep mine..))

Two Famiclones for $10.00..
Sealed Gamegear game $3.00(he had tons of the same)
Gameboy $3.00(another added to the pile)
Radica Sub Chase& Nascar Handhelds /2 for $5.00

Loose DC discs..(2 for $1.00

$2.00 Cassette player thingy for my Dad.
Switch Board AC Plugs...5 for $5.00

4 Head Stereo VCR for $5.00/works (Read below)
I spend a lot of time at this one vendor who had masses of stuff,Thousands of loose CDs Tons of DVDs/Tons of VCR tapes/Tons of Cassettes/TVs..All kinds of stuff,From Car Tires to a Go Cart and 4 Wheeler.
This guy couldn't get rid of me he had so much stuff....
He had stacks of these VCR's..all the Same types/Models.. Sharp & Panasonics...The more you buy the less they are..
Crazy thing is..Every VCR had these Evidence Sticker on the side..Mine had a Japanese VHSTape in it..Looks to be either Japanese Soaps or Porno.(I have to look)
They had the Japanese VHS sets of what looked to be soaps or..they also had Porno flicks so...
After looking at the mass amounts of stuff these people had I think they bought out some sort of Police Auction.

I've been doing really well w/ thrift stores the past few weeks. Today I decided to hit my first flea market of the season and boy was it worth it.

I've got a bunch of pictires but rather than post them I'll just provide links to them for those who are on dial up connections.

When I got to the flea market I asked one of the regulars that I often visit if he'd gotten anything new over the winter that I'd be interested in. He told me that he had a few boxes of stuff that someone esle was supposed to have picked up but never did and that I can take them if I wanted them. Everything for $50.00. :evil:

Upon my first glane I saw a few things that instantly told me that this was well worth it. So without even digging further into the boxes to see what else was there I did my best to hold back the drool and paid the man. Here's wat I ended up with.

Here's everything still boxed up. What could be inside? (The bags were from another vendor, more on that later)
Link 1 (http://home.comcast.net/~griking/Finds/P3200001.JPG)

It turns out there were four Intellivision consoles within all of the boxes, an InteliVoice module and a bunch of brand new controller accessories still in the packages.
Link 2 (http://home.comcast.net/~griking/Finds/P3200013.JPG)

But the games....
Link 3 (http://home.comcast.net/~griking/Finds/P3200014.JPG)

...and more games
Link 4 (http://home.comcast.net/~griking/Finds/P3200015.JPG)

...and more games
Link 5 (http://home.comcast.net/~griking/Finds/P3200016.JPG)

...and yet more games
Link 6 (http://home.comcast.net/~griking/Finds/P3200019.JPG)

But were there any rares in the lot? I don't think there were any holy grails but I was happy to find these
Link 7 (http://home.comcast.net/~griking/Finds/P3200018.JPG)


As I said earlier, All for $50

As for the bag, small find from another vendor. I paid $20 for all of these. A needed a few still and some of the others are good for trades.
Link 8 (http://home.comcast.net/~griking/Finds/P3200002.JPG)


So what does everyone think?

I'm still sorting things out and putting away things right now so I'm not totally sure. :D

There are 89 loose carts but there's a huge manilla envelope that I found thats full of manuals. There are 78 game boxes, most have games in them and some of them belond to some of the loose games. Again, I don't know for sure but there are easily 125+.

*hopes that he recieves some goodness in the mail on Monday...well, as good as Action 52 can be, anyway...*

Yeah Yahoo Japan is where I mostly get my stuff these days, unless there's a really good deal domestically.... however some of the stuff I'm looking for never pops up on ebay here so it's a must I go look over there or ask my favorite importer if he's got one locked away. It may be a pain to pay the excessive middle man fees and "double" shipping costs but it's an utter gold mine of stuff over there.

These days I don't care too much for US/Euro versions of games (unless I really want to play it and don't want to pay too much or... it's an RPG). IMHO can't beat the packaging/art and sometimes better untampered with game itself on a jpn version. Example: the butchered version of Contra on the US 8bit NES or what could be Legend of Kage II as Demon Sword here in the US? Geeze come on.... what kind of bullshit is that? Oh and the utterly lame pseudo-realistic cover art.... who's the tasteless manager that approves this crap? Once again, this is just my opinion... some people might actually like all this "conversion".

At a local EB:

Snes:

Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen - Complete w/ "Official Power Play Guide"

Illusion of Gaia - Complete

Everything is in MINT condition. Grabbed then for $5.99 each. Someone had just traded them in an hour or so before I got there, the guy was saying. I love it when EB puts complete SNES games out for good prices. Grabbed a Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel complete at this same store a month or so ago!

My weekend was saved at the last minute (in a manner of speaking). Yesterday, went to K-Mart. Nothing. Went to TRU. Nothing. Went to EB & all they had was Threads of Fate (PSX) for $15, so I snapped it up. Not a bargain, but I don't see it around here much & it was mint, so fuquit. Couldn't go to my flea mkt 'cause it's on the same route as the St. Pattys parade which was going on today so I resigned to call the weekend lame. Later on today, at a buddy's poker game, my bud Mike shows up with this system he said he was gonna give me for the last month. He kept telling me it was a Dreamcast & I could always use a spare, so that was cool. Mike gets knocked out of the game early & leaves me with a backpack. So I peek inside & this Dreamcast turns out to be a Genesis Model 1 "High Definition Graphics" with no copyright screen under which sat a completely operational Model 1 Sega CD & to top off the dessert, a Power Base Convertor as well as a Great Footbal (SMS) cart and a nifty Sewer Shark coaster, which was still in the Sega CD. And after all that, I won $80 from the game. Just when I thought the weekend sucked... :bday:

Today I got a loose working Mega Turrican at EB!!!! YAY! Also, at the same store I finally bought one of those like new used copies of F-Zero GX. You know, those ones that people who had no idea how challenging the game was played it once, maybe twice, then brought it back for store credit?

More Game Hunting today..

Scratching more games off my list of buy later cheap/wanted games.

I took advantage of Gamestops Buy two used games get one free..Getting the PDO free.
(Plus savings with Discount Card)($34.32 total)

Blowout I bought separately Used for $5.00-$4.76 & they gave me a new/sealed copy but the guy stuck a Used Sticker on the back)on the factory seal wrapper.
I guess he didn't want to go fetch the used copy but had to put a used sticker on it for some reason.(??)
When I open it I won't have to peel it off since it's on the factory seal wrapper.

ARCADIA:
In that same Mall I bought the Arcadia at Kay Bee,.. I saw it last week,but didn't want to lug around.(It's a big Box)
$14.99 (Clearance/Around 6 left)
I have a cart for this that I bought off Ebay way back when I first started buying stuff on Ebay..

E Reader..
I took a ride to a never been to Target and tank's to DP I remembered someone saying something about them being $10.00 at Target.
I looked around and found 4 on a shelf..It says $19.99 on the Red Sticker but scans at $10.00
Sweeet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Other Targets I've been to don't have any..
