weirdguy - is it an ordinary GB link cable that works with the GB Printer and Camera?

If so, I've got an excellent-conditioned, working Nyko combination GB/GBC/GBA(?) link cable that I haven't used since I got my SP.

If interested, I'll find or take a picture of this really colorful cable and send it your way.

Flea Market:.......Nothing special but WAY overpriced items...
My Dad picked up a vintage(80's) midsize Pinball machine for $50.00..I set it up(legs on it)..It needs some bulbs to be replaced.


One vendor had a bunch of sealed and opened Sega Master System Games..I tried to grab the whole box for $50.00 but he wanted $100.00 firm..
I'm not up on the rare SMS game prices and what's rare..so I passed it up and just grabbed three games/two sealed..
As I estimated the price per game,if I had spent the $100.00 I would of had to sell each game for more then $3.00 each to break even..
He must of had 4 or 5 sealed "Wanted"SMS games and Kenseiden

PS2 Nascar Thunder 20003 complete $3.00..(I didn't buy all the footbal titles there.

Coca Cola items for my wife $8.00....and a fold up work table for my Pocket Bikes $10.00

[Fighter17]

Sorry for my language, but I was fucking luckly today. I was in the flea market and, just read:

Five Sega CD games (all complete):

Sonic CD: $6.85
Ecco The Dolphin: $1.85
Android Assault - The Revenge of Bari-Arm: $1.85
Dark Wizard: $8.85 X_x
Heart of the Alien - Out Of This World Part I and II: $6.85 X_x

I was only looking to buy Sonic CD, Ecco, and Android Assault, but the prices of Dark Wizard and Heart of the Alien were so good, that I purchase them both. I'm not even a RPG fan, but I herd Dark Wizard was good, so I purchase it. The game goes high on eBay (at around $30 or even higher), and Heart of the Alien is rare according to the DP rarity guide ($25).

So what do you think, Dark Wizard and Heart of the Alien are great games?

[jeffg]

It was a good finds today for me.

Video game store:

All 3 were mint and complete for $30 total

Alundra
Diablo 2 player for PS1
Final Fantasy VII Original release

Then goodwill day today:

TI-99 4A system complete in box $6 had tombstone city, and early learning fun, along with Basic book

Then Non video game but cool games, all complete:

Dungeon! Fantasy Boardgame by TSR 1981
Dragon Master board game
Battle Quest Board Game
Hero Quest Board Game
Dragon Strike Board Game

All games were $3.00 each, I thought they looked cool, so I figured what the heck. I checked ebay and most of them sell around the $30 range each, so not too bad of a deal

I might trade them if anyone is interested in any

Thanks
Jeff

[Damaniel]

I went to a local game store that was having a 50% off sale on their used games. Normally, their prices are pretty high, but they're much better at half off. :) Among other stuff, I got:

Shenmue II: $5
Xenosaga Episode 2: $12

[Joker T]

Dark Cloud $14
ICO $14

2 Excellent games :)

Dark Cloud is one of my favorite RPG games ever made. It really sticks with you. Much more innovative and fun than any other RPG I have played.

[-hellvin-]

Headed down to Bookman's and MAN oh man was I surprised how much stuff I picked up. I was grabbing things left and right and found some great deals!

Pretty damn decent run. Really happy about the pc games.

http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/6886/dcp01623og.th.jpg (http://img29.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dcp01623og.jpg)

Most of the manuals will eventually end up for sale here on DP after I sort through them some more.

[keiblerfan69]

I can already tell I'm gonna need to buy some of those N64 manuals from you.

[Nate Nanjo]

I can already tell I'm gonna need to buy some of those N64 manuals from you.

[Dimitri]

Fry's Electronics:
GBA Sigma Star Saga
GCN TimeSplitters Future Perfect

I picked up Sigma Star Saga because the last I'd heard of it was a tiny preview over a year ago and thought it looked cool. It's certainly a weird experience playing a game without having ever heard anything at all about it, no preview, reviews, screenshots, biased professional opitions, etc...

And I grabbed TimeSplitters so I could give my friend his copy that I've had for about two months now back. ^^;

[oleanhosting]

Found this lot at the Goodwill in Jamestown, NY.

$1 Each for the TI 994/A carts
$1 for the 2600 Carts
$2.50 for the Nintentdo and the SMS Carts

Good find as I been going there for years and found just the stray Genesis Game.

OMG, great finds!!! (just wanted to tell ya that :))

[jeffg]

Well yesterday I had a great find on some cool old board games that I posted on the first page, today's find takes the cake. I went to Goodwill in Coldwater MI and got the following:

Sonic CD, Silpheed, Rise of the DRagon for sega CD all compelte $3.99

AND NOW THE GREAT FIND BEHIND THE SEGA CD GAMES WAS:

AEROFIGHTERS FOR THE SNES COMPLETE WITH BOX AND MANUAL

If anyone would like to host the pic and post it for me, I would be greatly appreciative. I don't like to sign up for those websites and upload pictures, I am a little leary of that stuff?

I can email pic to someone if you would like to upload and show it??

It isn't for sale as of right now. I am going to display it with my complete Radiant Silvergun

What a great weekend

[roushimsx]

rescued some titles from the thrift store this weekend:

Yar's Revenge - 80 cents
Longbow Limited edition (disc only) - $4
Trophy Rivers - $1.50
Nascar Racing - $4
Rally Championship - $4

I've heard great things about Rally Championship and just couldn't pass it up. Nascar I had to pick up because I had way, way, WAY too many fond memories of playing it in the mid 90s and when Papyrus and Sierra were on top of their game. Ditto for Trophy Rivers.

Longbow I picked up to play around with in dgvoodoo, and Yar's Revenge...well I remember coming home from Sears with that game for the first time and being amazed by it. Figured it deserved a better home than some dirty thrift store!

You don't have to sign up for imageshack, you just point it to a file, upload it, and copy and paste the forum thumbnail code. like this:

[roushimsx]

Just turned up something in the bargain bin of the BX:

http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/9412/dw7deal8ea.th.jpg (http://img230.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dw7deal8ea.jpg)

I'm pretty happy about finding it. Ended up picking up a copy for ebay as well. There was a third copy there, but I would have felt like a complete asshole grabbing the last copy with the intention of ebaying it. Better to leave it there for someone else to find in the hopes that they'll actually play it.

[Blitzwing256]
