Weekend Finds 11/12 & 11/13

[Masco73]

These were technically found last Saturday, but I wanted to get a pic up.
I found these at a garage sale and they were covered in dust on a table.

In figured $2 each since they didn't even wipe them off. I ask the woman how much and she feeds me the typical ebay line which drives me insane. You have to have heard the line by now, " They probably go for a lot on ebay" and says $10 each. Now I know that is actually a fair price especially in good shape with clean battery compartments and covers intact, but its just the pricipal of the thing. She obviously didn't care about them not even wiping them off . I almost walked away because she wouldn't budge, but cooler heads prevailed because I actually use ebay and look things up and know they sell from $40-50 each. So these go directly into my collection.

[swlovinist]

Fair Price? That is a steal of a deal for $10 each! More like cheap-ass price. Nice find. Personally, I scored at the game crazy sale, and walked away with :


Zero the Kamakaze Squirrel-Snes
Theme Park-Genesis -Genesis

[josekortez]

EB Games
Tsugunai (PS2, new) - $36.99 (Hey, it's an Atlus release...)

Went to Home Depot to pick up a dozen bales of pine straw and decided to hit the Goodwill while I was close by. I found the case/manual to DC Unreal Tournament, but no disc. So I went searching through the CD area to find the disc and came across the two below. And WALL STREET KID! YAH! OK find for 7 bucks :)

I don't know the value, but I know Biker Mice From Mars is an R4. I'd assume Joe and Mac 2 is around R4, R5 status too.

[PrototypeFC3S]

I'm not a Saturn collector by any means but I went into my Bookman's today just too look around. I went straight for the Dreamcast stuff, because thats what I collect. Right above was the Saturn stuff so I went ahead and picked some stuff that looked interesting.

Black GBA SP (brand new almost) + 40 games- given to me by a close friend..he said he found them in a cardboard box in the trash in a alley, he knew I liked games so he picked it up and bought it over to my house and gave it to me for nothing :D..I'm in totally shock right now X_x O_O

The flea was a big disappointment today... $10 NES Advantage sticks, $4 NES commons, $30 SNES's, $25 NES's, $20 Genesis'!? I did manage to find something interesting.

It's a 24 slot Genesis cart holder I picked up for $4. Seemed like a good buy to me. Not sure if it's worth anything (guides down again), but it definately helps in storing SOME of my loose Genesis games (no, those games didn't come with the cart holder).

[smokehouse]

I picked up some interesting things this week. I really can’t call anything “finds” as some were purchases from other boards but who cares.

Region modded Duo R (with blue LED upgrade), also Y’s Book I&II

[DKTheArcadeRat]

Someone who stole them - some type of clepto-thief.

That's really the only situation where I could see someone throwing them in the alley would be if they were stolen property.

[YoshiM]

Been pretty dry game wise. Only thing I snagged that was remotely technology related:

Microsoft Office 2000 Professional (promotional copy-legit): $1

Let's hope they are NOT stolen.

Instead, let's hope that some little kid threw them away because s/he thought the GBA + Games didn't work.

I'm not saying that they were stolen, i'm just saying that let's hope some 5-year old threw them into the trash.
