[Amy Rose]

Steemps, I'm going to assume this is Willetton. :P The sales they have on at the moment are excellent, aren't they?

I nabbed a complete Parappa the Rapper for PSX and a complete Castlevania DS. Yay for great games!

[Steempy]

If I didn't have a blazing headache, a bad memory and a small budget, I'd probably get a few more of them PS1 games... 50% off = great times!

A friend contacted me out of the blue last night, offered me a few games. So I bought Popful Mail: $20, Final Fantasy Dawn of Souls (new): $5, and Golden Sun (new): Lost Age: $5.

Already had the GBA games, but for $10 could use the bait.

BF 1942 $10
Pac n Roll NEW $20

[MarkMan]

Just got this in a few hours ago. Had to hurry to tote it over to my place because it was startin' to rain. Thankfully it just started pouring after we got to my place instead of while we were en route.

It used to be a Tekken 2 cabinet. Now it houses good old Tekken Tag. Everything is in good working order from what I tested at the former owner's place.

The only thing I want to do is replace the stick/buttons and the plexiglass on the control panel. After that it should be good to go for regular play!

Price? Just had to trade some shoes for it(I collect sneakers as well)... :)

[Captain Wrong]

Real deals from real thrifts:

Neo Geo Pocket games! Never seen these in the thrifts before!
Got Sonic Pocket in a case with the cover torn off and the manual for Japanese Pocket Tennis and a complete Japanese Soccer game (something '98). $6.50 for both of those.

Sealed Joshua and Spiritual Warfare for Genny. $7 for both of those.

Walked away from a $10 Colecovision because it had no power supply. Also passed on two Sega CD model 2 units, one loose for $10, another with a Model 2 Genny, all the works and some crap games for $29, I think.

Unrelated, but a damn good deal, got a near mint first season of the Sopranos for $19 at the pawns. Also picked up a really nice Superscope 8-track deck for $6.50.

Good day.

Price? Just had to trade some shoes for it(I collect sneakers as well)... :)
First off, very nice find. Second, were these shoes golden? I didn't think anyone would/could collect shoes, and after some thought the only thing I could come up with were perhaps a ton of variations of Converse All-Stars. So, what ever were they?

[jeffg]

Went to Salvation Army and got 7 complete boxed SMS games for $.99 each, nothing great but some ok games

Castlevania Double Pack for GBA

Rez at EB Games for $40.49

Nothing super but some good games

They were some Jordan shoes... shoes actually go for... A LOT of money.

Look up on ebay Jordan Nike and Nike SB... you'll see how much collectibility there is for those darned things.

Things can get as crazy as 5 digits if ppl have the rare stuff.

BF 1942 $10
Pac n Roll NEW $20

Very good choice picking up Pac 'N Roll. One of the best DS games avaliable currently in the U.S.

Unfortunately, it seems to have flown in under the radar. Plenty of fun (and frustration) to be had in this gem from Namco.

[VG_Maniac]

Picked up Guilty Gear X2 - $14.99, and Klonoa 2 - $19.99 for PS2 at my local GameCrazy today. Both were complete and in excellent condition.

Halo Xbox with halo controller and hookups - $50
Taiko Drum - Free

[nintendan]

Hey there, I have the exact same Xbox as that, but it's not a Halo one. The authentic Halo Boxes have the Halo emblem on them.

dan

edit - maybe it's the controller's that have the emblem.

edit again - nevermind, I didnt see the Halo writing on the box until i viewed the pic full-sized. I wish I had that writing on mine, cuz i know that ups the value of it.

True, loving it so far. Wish I would've picked it up sooner, but I was kinda waiting for a price drop. Wasn't gonna pass on it at that price :)

Anyone that has a DS should try this game. Most fun I've had next to Mario Kart :P

Was looking for a copy of GC Ikaruga and the only place I could find it was on the Gamestop web site. They said that a store in a town near me had a copy, so I went there this weekend and supprise! supprise! they actualy had a copy. A first for Gamestop. Their databases are not realtime so when the web says they have it the chances are not good it is still there. Anyway Picked up:

IKaruga (GC) $25.
Aqua Aqua (PS2) $6.00.

Passed on an orange N64 for $20. Are the colored N64s worth collecting?

[Rejinx]

I had two awesome finds.
Friday I found a Joycard Sansui SSS (a rare NES controller)
In a wrecked car in a junkyard, I was looking for parts for my wife's car and ended up saving this cool controller from destruction for free.
Today I found a Sega Genisus and 2 controllers (no TV cable) for $8 from Goodwill. I also picked up NBA Jam for $2.

Later I stopped by Gamestop while Ms. Jibba went to look in a department store. I have never played Metroid Prime, but everyone says it is a very good game. Got a complete copy with Metroid 2 bonus disk for $14. No now I have 2 Metroid Prime bonus disks, since I got one free from the big N a while back.

When I got home, the Rebel Strike demo disk was waiting for me in the mail box. Got this for $9 shipped from some dude on another message board. Anyone know if this originally came with any docs or anything inside?

Metroid Prime Pinball. Wooo, this is one of the best video pinballs I have played. Very pleased, and the DS is the perfect home for this game.

[Dimitri]

Got some nice Japanese MD games recently:

Columns, Devil Crash MD, Dynamite Headdy, El Viento, Gaiares, Gunstar Heroes, and Heavy Unit.

Cost? Too much, but still somehow worth it. I'd never actually played Gunstar Heroes before... @_@
