This weekend's finds (1/24-1/26)

[icbrkr]

Figure I'll start this one.

Nothing too exciting, though I did find a flea market booth that had literally hundreds of 2600 carts, 40-50 INTV carts, 60+ TI carts, 30 5200 carts and NES and more.... the only problem is, it was stuffed in a booth the size of a bedroom, and was stacked. So there was probably a shitload more that I couldn't see, but I couldn't get to the majority of it (I did take note to the Commodore 1541 "tower-o-disk drives"). Anyways, I had the majority of the stuff, and came home with:

[2600]

Squeezebox
Gopher
Gangster Alley

[Coleco]

Burgertime

[NES]

Startropics
Solistice
Anticipation

And also, I found 3 books:

Vic-20 Programmer's Reference Guide
Vic-20 An Introduction to Basic Part 1
Vic-20 An Introduction to Basic Part 2

Off-road

[DDCecil]

First found a mint Alundra (PSX) for $5. It seems the store I found it at is having "Trade 3 games in, get a brand new game for free" deal going on, so I hope the shelves will be filled with some cheap games!

Then, got plenty of good stuff in some trades coming my way:

Gitaroo Man (PS2)
Conflict Zone (DC)
Twinbee Puzzle Dama, Paro Wars, Robo Pit 2 (Import PSX)
Baseball and Bowling (Microvision)
Blue Blink (PC Engine)
And some various NES games and manuals.

[maxlords]

Actually, I've done good so far this weekend. Got a few things I never expected

Genesis:
Air Buster (complete) $5.00 Cdn
Vapor Trail (complete) $5.00 Cdn

TG16:
Vigilante (card only) $5.00 Cdn

NES:
dogbone controller $2.00 Cdn
toaster NES w/SMB/Duck Hunt, no hookups $2.00 Cdn

In the mail:
Wonderswan + games and JSRF For XBox
Gekioh Shooting King (which isn't bloody well available in Canada!!!)

and I bought an XBox! yay! Now I have all the major consoles there are! I must add that I had NO idea that Vapor Trail and Air Buster were rare...but I'd never seen em before and I love shooters! I realized that Air Buster is really Aeroblasters and Vapor Trail is really Kuuga once I took a closer look at em. I didn't know either of those had ever been ported to the US!

I finally found a copy of jet grind radio at a local EBX near me.

$1 a piece at Goodwill today:

All 2600 loose carts:
-Solar Fox
-Eggomania
-Miner 2049er Vol. II
-Star Wars Jedi Arena
-Super Cobra
-Mountain King

Oh yeah, I also went to a local video game shop and was going to buy 5200 Super Breakout, and 5200 Moon Patrol, both commons I dont have. The labels were peeling off, and they were real dirty. I asked how much and the shop keeper acted like he was doing me a favor when he said "I'll give you both for $12.50". I passed on that great deal, I'll probably regret it later. @_@

[kevincure]

Mad Maestro - 9
Splashdown - 16.50
SSX - 7
Metal Gear Sold non-GH - 9
Micro Machines V3 PSX - 3

I also grabbed another copy of Samurai Shodown III and Konami Arcade Classics to sell so I can pay for that stuff above.

[kainemaxwell]

Earlier in the week I picked up a complete Videomation for the NES at my local Babagges for $1.99.

[Metrackle]

Megaman Battle Network 2 (GBA, used, manual, no box, $24.99)

[Phosphor Dot Fossils]

I went thrifting today for the first time in a LONG time. No games, just nice clean systems:

Vic-20 (boxed, with docs)
Commodore 64 (boxed, with docs)
NES Advantage Joystick (working)
...and a damn-near-mint copy of the Tron novelization for $.50!

As my wife said when I brought these puppies home (even the boxes are in good shape!), to quote a character from the aforementioned novelized movie, "Great...another mouth to feed."


5200 Super Breakout, and 5200 Moon Patrol, both commons I dont have. The labels were peeling off, and they were real dirty. I asked how much and the shop keeper acted like he was doing me a favor when he said "I'll give you both for $12.50".

Oh hell, if you want to trade some commons (and I've got some of the damnedest gaps in my commons), I'm pretty sure I have good clean working dupes of both of these. PM me, dude.[/u]

Ok my finds for today (sunday) include the following thing I know nothing about and would appreciate any information as to it's worth and what I can do with it.

Pioneer PAC-S10 Laseractive Control Pack. It's basically some sort of Sega Genesis/Sega CD unit that must be part of a bigger thing. Complete in box with a controller, VERY interesting peice of equipment. Picked it up for $10 at a flea. What's it worth?

Thanks. I'm in Elkhart County. I'm guessing your in southern Indiana because I have not seen one member on these boards anywhere close to me. If you don't know Elkhart County, I'm about 10 minutes drive from Notre Dame college.

I'm guessing you hit the wrong emoticon because that sounds like a good deal to me! Or did you not have $0.50 on you? That would suck.

I did really well yesterday. Picked up a Sega 32X system like new for $30. Not a great deal, but I was just about to buy one on eBay and I would have ended up paying that much plus shipping (plus the general hastle of eBay).
The best part, though, was the other stuff I got for $16.51:
Defender of the Crown (C64) complete
Wasteland (C64) complete
Knuckles Chaotix (32X) complete
Fantasy Zone III: The Maze (SMS)
Castle of Illusion (SMS)

assorted NES manuals
Atari 1010 recorder manual
Sonic 2 "Secret Admirer" children's book
