Weekend Finds (Sept. 24th - 25th)

[Mattiekrome]

Wow, hard to beleive there wasnt one of these up already.

Well, the story is kind of cool. I found these at my neighbors house this morning. She has been living there by herself ever since I have moved into the neighborhood. Just this past week, an older woman moved in with her. I guess it's her mother, but anyways... She had a yard sale this morning and I found these NES games there. Took them all for $5. Apparently, the old woman who moved in had one for the grandchildren back in the day. The boxes are pretty rough, but all manuals were included

[-hellvin-]

Well, I failed yet again at all the yard/estate sales I hit. Oh well, next time perhaps. I hate the flea markets out here so I skipped those today and just hit some game stores early:

Game Crazy

Genesis - Art of Fighting - 2
Genesis - Championship Pool - 2
Genesis - Haunting: Starring Polterguy - 2
Genesis - Incredible Hulk - 2
Genesis - Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - 2

All loose...but I have the boxes/manuals for all. I accidentally bought championship POOL and not BOWLING. Oh well, my copy of cham. pool is factory sealed so it works out fine.

Some Pawn...

SNES - Secret of Mana (loose) - 5

SWEET! I sold my cart a while back. I have the box/manual/map in mint condition for this as well.

Game World

Genesis - Pro Moves Soccer (complete) - 3
Genesis - Race Drivin (complete) - 3
Genesis - Zoop (complete) - 3

Btw Tynstar...if you read this before you go there, I wouldn't even bother. The games you need are rediculously expensive and they're all nasty rental copies. Would be better off going ebay. I was able to get those in decent condition but that's about it.

I was looking through the stuff when I got home and some things were teasing me like the Turbo Duo Controllers and then the Turbo Duo System Manual then...no Turbo Duo. I was like....Dammit!!! :(

[krbrunn]

http://www3.telus.net/krbrunn/images/finds/Picture%20058.jpg

All games $4.99 each from Value Village, there were a few other boxed golf games but I passed on them.

Not too shabby I suppose.

[poopnes]

Not really a find but I did win a Xbox 360 from the Mountain Dew contest on Thursday. Didn't want to create a new thread so I decided to post it here. Yes it's true, people do win these contests. =) Party, my house, November 19th.

:eek 2:

Holy shit, that rules! Congrats on the free 360. Party one day after my birthday ehhh, that 360 sure would make a nice gift :P

[Nez]

DC games

NHL 2K2 $3
POD $8

[XianXi]

I just got back from my friend's store and she has some old Neo Geo Pocket stuff. She only had 3 games

Neo Geo Turf Masters
Puyo Pocket
Pac Man

all $10 each and sealed.

I picked up 2 Sealed Neo Geo Pockets for $30 each.

Good Deal? How much are these worth if they're sealed?

Dude, that's freaking awesome! I never hear of anyone winning these damn things. Mayhaps I need to pick up a mountain dew ;D. Maybe I'll get lucky as well. Would be nice since my xbox DIED. Anyhow, I headed out to Bookman's and picked up these:

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y20/hellvin/nes1.jpg

NES - Immortal (complete) - 10
NES - James Bond Jr (complete) - 8
NES - Swords & Serpents (complete) - 10
NES - Ultima: Exodus (complete) - 10

Man...a lot more than I was really hoping to spend but I have such a damn hard time resisting complete NES games. The three they had in the glass case are in IMMACULATE condition. The shrink wrap makes em look factory sealed. James Bond Jr isn't too bad but I got it as well since it's a slighly uncommon. Oh well, it's not like I'd be likely to score em any cheaper so what the hell....

Damn NES temptations! Supposed to be concentrating on genesis ;D.

[Sailorneorune]

Congrats on the Xbox 360 and the nice games...

No finds to report here, but I do wish to track down We Love Katamari... maybe some of your collective good luck will rub off on this poor girl.

It sure would, wouldn't it. =)

We're supposed to get the 360's on the Saturday before the release date so that would be the 19th. So I'm throwing a small 360 party. Hopefully the controllers and some of the games will be available the week before like I hear. Having just one controller for the party would suck, but hey its the 360 early. I'm also recieving Madden '06 in the package. I'm looking to pick up either Perfect Dark or Need for Speed.

You know I had no interest at all in the 360 before, I had even pondered selling it if I won. But now I think I'm going to keep it for at least a month. Get a month of Live and rock out. Might even keep it for all the 3rd party games cross platform games so I won't have to buy a PS3.

Of course now I feel the need to own a HDTV. Argh.

Every one should at least attempt to play the sweepstakes. It took me 56 caps to win (2 per drawing). I think my odds were close to 1:700+ when I won. I had everyone at my work saving caps for me. Its exciting and everyone at work is jealous or at least can't believe I actually won. Now I'm working on getting a friend one. Have to spread the love.

[icarwngs55]

If you get the 360 a week early I would put it up on ebay that day under a 3 day auction and offer over night shipping. People go nuts for stuff like this esp on ebay...you may be able to double or triple the actual cost and then just go buy a new one on release day.

Just a thought

[Joker T]

Nice that you Won a 360 :)

No finds for me yet except a Crappy PS2 book thing LOL

[BrokenFlight]

I got a Mega CD 1 loose for £5 with Sol-Feace/Cobra Command and Sega Arcade Classics for £1.50 each

They aren't the best games ever but I'm sure there are at least a few decent games on the Mega CD, although the good ones seem to go for over £20 :(

I had a chat with the person I bought it off and he said he had 200 Megadrive games. He seemed to be proud that he spent £30 on SoR 3. I told him someone I know (Cauterize) Has over 300 MD games and about as many Master System games LOL

[Promophile]

Believe it or not I found not one but two rare and valuable PSX games at EB. Using the B2G1F deal I picked up X-com (without manual but only 8 dollars!) Bust a groove, and Capcom VS SNK pro. yay for the rare finds.

Pic one: Cost me $40 total. It was 2 big bins full of dirty consoles,cords, adaptors & controllers all tangled up. This photo was taken after I sorted it all out.

Box 2:

Saw the 2 3do games on top. The lady was trying to get rid of bulk not 1 or 2 items she told me $5 for the whole box and I said sold. After I went through it found about 10-15 cds, 6 dvd movies, 6 snes games, various vhs movies, 2 game gear games, 3 loose dreamcast manuals, 2 sega cd games

http://imagehost.vendio.com/preview/ma/masco/dplot3.jpg

[donkeykong1]

Finally the shitty Best Buy in Burbank paid off. I went in there for some other business and as I am walking I see a bunch of used NES games so I stop to look. They were all prety common so I didn't get any. But I look to the left and there are about 15 Gameboy games. They were all $8.00 or less. As I look through them I find seven games that I will buy, here they are:
Final Fantasy Adventure
Final Fantasy Legend
Final Fantasy Legend III
Tiny Toon Adv. Wacky Sports
Caesars Palace
Conkers Pocket Tales
Pokemon Silver

All except for Caesars were 5 bucks, it was $4.00

I guess someone had come in and dumped alot of games at once. There were a couple of SNES and Dreamcast games but I left them. I thought the Gameboy games were a deal.

-Speedy

Thanks for the info!! I thought it was wireless controller. The only problem now is finding those controllers loose to complete the set. If anybody needs that reciever for the superscope or the aklaim controllers, they are up for trade.





Nice finds Masco73. You weren't by any chance at the Regional Market were you?

Uh oh, competition (if yes)!

I don't think so, I was at a local church flea market near Troy, NY. WHere is your flea located??

[Policenaut]

Wow, with all the good stuff you all got I feel a little bit ashamed to list my finds, but here they are LOL :

City of Villains demo for PC
Brothers in Arms demo for XBox
OXM #48 demo disc

at least they all were free :D

[videogameking26]

Not really a find but I did win a Xbox 360 from the Mountain Dew contest on Thursday. Didn't want to create a new thread so I decided to post it here. Yes it's true, people do win these contests. =) Party, my house, November 19th.

Congrats man on the Xbox 360..but funny you would say that because I myself just entered for the 5th time last night, also won :). I can't believe I actually won something as I never have good luck but for some reason everthing was going good yesterday, winning the 360 just capped it off. I was going to buy one eventually but just not this year the Xbox 360 that is, got NFS: Most Wanted coming with it, not sure what I want to add with it..maybe Full-Auto or Test Drive maybe.

I'm in Syracuse and so is this particular flea. Troy is a little ways away from here. I was just curious because those were some nice finds and nice deals and it's almost impossible to find anything good here, let alone at a good price.

[diskoboy]

Defender - $5
Shenmue 2 - $5
Jet Set Radio Future - $5
Unreal Championship 2: The Liandry Conflict - $12
