Although I traded in a couple things and got it with credit and got money back. They also had Cubivore but that was $27.99, a bit too much for me.

[McBacon]

All this stuff was from winning DrWily008's Compo. i mean, I was supposed to win a TurbroGrafx16 a JVC X'Eye and a bunch of games for both, but to make up for his short delay, he added.... tonnes of stuff! What a dude!

Not a find per se, but I was able to trade in the SP2 that I used to give my Classic NES SP a new screen at Gamestop. Used the $30 credit for a nice brand new copy of Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap.

Yeah I didnt even know they were having a 50% off sale. No signs anywhere, except for one small 6" x 12" sign right above the NES games saying they were 50% off. If you werent looking for it, you would have missed it totally

I've wanted Super R.C. Pro-AM for a while, and the other two were too cheap to pass up. Also, Road Rash puts me at 40 Genesis games. :)

[mills]

went to game crazy and got super metroid and donkey kong country for 16 dollars.

I've been trying to find super metroid cheap, last time I saw it at EB games they were charging 29.99, and someone bought it that week @_@ . Still I got it cheaper than I would have if I used eBay.

[NESVIDIOT]

Not a lot, but you gotta love when you find a game like Donkey Kong Land 2 - in a mint box with all the original docs, cart like new, for 6.50 CAN. At EB games. How did the rest of the world miss that- and I rarely shop EB!

Also picked up:
GC- Call of Duty- Finest Hour
XB- Doom 3
- Tron 2.0 Killer App

All for about 40.00 CAN, from one of my fav retail stores MicroPlay

[shaggy]

Well, I went to the Waukesha Goodwill and found a Magnavox Odyssey 2 system with the voice add-on for $10. Than I got 13 games at $3 a piece but they only charged me $1 for 10 of the 13 games so BONUS!! 2 of the games were Quest For the Rings and Conquest of the World complete!!! So I was quit happy with that. I also picked up 5 Saturn games for $3 a piece.

[McBacon]

Anyways, nice finds Bacon, Have u been to Leeds recently then? If so you should have said, we could have met up for a mini gaming sesh!

Sorry dude, I've just noticed the stickers in your photos ;)

[jcheatle]

I hit the local Goodwill today, surprisingly fruitful. There was a stack of about 6 complete Genesis games, although mostly all old EA Sports though. Since the rarity guide is down, does anybody know anything about Salmon King? Is it rare? I've never seen it, but that doesn't mean much... I assume it's common.

I also passed on a stack of 5 Saturn games mostly because I don't know much about the system or games. All had cases, but no inserts. Nothing that jumped out at me.

So what did I get? For 2.99, a boxed Coleco Vision controller. The box is in good shape, but possibly retaped, not sure how they were originally packaged. The controller itself has some scratches on the silver knob, but seems to also be in good shape; I don't have my Coleco here to test it. It even had the original price sticker from Child World, $29.97 proving that controllers have always been overpriced.

Lastly, albeit last week's find, I picked up some more games at the EB sale... something like 18 games for 39 bucks. Among them Mighty Bomb Jack and Mega Man 3 and 6 (each a double for me, but for the price, had to get them).

[Niku-Sama]

Yeah I didnt even know they were having a 50% off sale. No signs anywhere, except for one small 6" x 12" sign right above the NES games saying they were 50% off. If you werent looking for it, you would have missed it totally

my EB has their N64, SNES, and NES games behind the counter no signs or any thing

Haven't posted in this type of thread in awhile... Got quite a few things this week... here's a wrap up so far...

http://video.vgonetwork.com/SDTEKKEN_PICS/geekmode/DSC02748.JPG
Custom arcade stick made from Korean/Japanese(Sanwa) parts. Came in this week. I got it for my brother.


http://video.vgonetwork.com/SDTEKKEN_PICS/geekmode/DSC02750.JPG
Another shot.


http://video.vgonetwork.com/SDTEKKEN_PICS/geekmode/DSC02753.JPG
I was sad when I didn't get my Dragon Quest Slime keychains in with the 2 demos that were sent to me... but I checked the mail today and behold! :)


http://video.vgonetwork.com/SDTEKKEN_PICS/geekmode/DSC02755.JPG
Some games I got this week. Don't ask about Dora... lol.


http://video.vgonetwork.com/SDTEKKEN_PICS/geekmode/DSC02756.JPG
Fun game! Need to import the Japanese versions!!!

[Cauterize]

http://video.vgonetwork.com/SDTEKKEN_PICS/geekmode/DSC02750.JPG
Another shot.

That is quite possibly the coolest Arcade Stick i have ever seen! How much did it cost you?
Shame he plastered his name on it in the bottom corner!

[MarkMan]

With all parts, Sanwa buttons, Korean joystick, custom case/artwork, metal base... it cost about $150...

I know that sounds like a lot, but it's a decent price for a custom...

[THATinkjar]

On Wednesday, I picked up SSX On Tour (PS2 - pretty good fun), Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault (PC), Thief: Deadly Shadows (PC) and Worms Forts Under Siege (PC).

And yesterday, Trauma Center: Under the Knife (US DS) arrived. That, and Phoenix Wright, kept me entertained most of the evening :)

[Howie6925]

Picked up these today at a couple pawnshops today:
Tactics Ogre-PS1-$20
Knights of the old Republic 2 -Xbox-$20
Gauntlet 4-Gen-$5

As soon as I saw that picture, I thought "man, Cauterize would love to have that."
Then I scroll down and my theory becomes a reality.

[Biff_McFresh]

Not exactly a find per say, but I renewed my gamefly account today. Oh how I missed it.

[drewbrim]

Some great stuff this week

NES
Tecmo Bowl x2 $1 each
Snake Rattle and Roll $1
Castlevania 3 $1

SNES
Robotrek $5
E.V.O. $5
Zombies ate my neighbors $1

PS1
Suikoden II (no really!) $25
Legend of Mana $10
Chrono Cross $10


That was the stuff I was happiest about. I couldn't believe the Suikoden snag. Not that it was there but because it was only $25. This place usually knows what they're doing as far as what they have and how much it's worth.

Sure, plus $35 shipping LOL . Sorry to shoot down your offer but I've never even played it, so I'll be giving it a go for a while before I sell it. If I even decide to.

[Sailorneorune]

Congrats on the cheap Suikoden II. I'll admit, what little I played of it didn't catch on with me, but it's still something to brag about.

The Castlevania III for a buck is cool as well.
