I also picked up Viewtiful Joe 2 for $14.44 or whatever as well. Impulsive buy there.

On a side note, bought some watch made by Bum Equipment. Man, hadn't heard of their brands in years so just had to get it since I needed a watch and the ones behind the glass counter were locked up for the night.

It was half off plastic stuff today. Now the best find is this: A computer that is faster then mine for 15 dollars. It was an Emachines 2.6ghz Intel Celeron with 256mb RAM(that is less then mine) and a 40gb HD. Well I got home and tested it: Power Supply is shot.

http://64.159.77.51/~helmet/perkar/images/jdshelf.jpg

not really a "video game find" per se, but i suppose it will be once it's set up next to my tv with a buttload of systems on it. the open front/back make it perfect.... and i got it from craigslist for free :) just had to pick it up.

also, snagged a copy of 1080 avalanche for gamecube from the thrift for $5 the other day that i didn't bother taking a pic of. \m/

[Kroogah]

[7th lutz]

I bought the following at my local state fair:

qix-nes

[Mr.FoodMonster]

Got these from a rental place

Command and Conquer N64 (with ratty box, instructions, and 3 stickers on the cart) 2 bucks
Endgame PS2 (not too bad a case, ratty inst. sticker on disc) 2

The Endgame purchase was mostly for use at a Gamestop '3 or 4 PS2 games gets an extra $10' deal

[ryborg]

Not the greatest find (and absolutely not the rarest), but I got a near-mint and extremely clean Genesis with all the hookups and two controllers for $14.99 at a local thrift. It also came with the Power Base Converter, which was the entire reason I bought it.

I've always wanted one of these, but I didn't feel like paying ebay prices because I knew I'd eventually find it in the wild. I wish it hadn't taken 8 years, but so be it.

They also had some incredibly common, loose NES/Genesis games, but they wanted $3.99 each. What gives? This is a thrift store, not GameCrazy. I love the arbitrary pricing for everything, but come on.

[McBacon]

http://www.britishgaming.co.uk/wp-content/augus3t.jpg

I got a encyclopediatic magazine of Retro games for £2, really nice presentation and good read, but saving for my holiday :)

Total Wars Era isn't my 'thing', I won it in a competition at the History Channel, nice people.

Woolies was having a 2 for £26 on DS titles, and seeing as Trauma Centre wasn't in the deal, I picked up two Phoenix Wrights.

Total Wars Era and the second Phoenix Wright will be going to GameStation for trade-in later this week, I'll use the approx £35 trade credit towards Saints Row on 360! :)

Happy finding people.

I bought it and at home, I discovered that the PSP was the one I returned last year because of burned pixels LOL It still has my nickname on it ! It's missing the charger and the memory card, but I'll have one soon, so no problem. Until that time I'm using the memory card from my other PSP (who will now be upgraded without fearing of not being able to downgrade).

[Mayhem]

Neo Pocket Color Ogre Battle Special Box. Got it nice and minty for around $60 (guide has it at $130). Prolly worth it for the game and system at $60, even if it wasn't pretty rare!

Price is probably a bit lower now, I never got the chance to change much of the hardware rarity/value before the Advance Guide came out. Still worth $100 I say. If you're interested in selling, I might be interested in buying :)

[DKTheArcadeRat]

[Cauterize]

Stuff from the last few days

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v366/cauterize4/101-0163_IMGCustom.jpg

eBay Megadrive collection fillers :)


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v366/cauterize4/101-0164_IMGCustom.jpg

Woodruff, looks like Monkey Island, £1, so it was bought :)


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v366/cauterize4/101-0165_IMGCustom.jpg

Aladdin was given to me free by my good mate, who happens to be the manager of the local Gamestation...
The others cost me a total of £3.98
I know theyre in horrid horrid condition but i wanted these purely for playing purposes, not display ;)


and boot sale finds.... not much, weather was shite, no transport, had to walk about 40mins to get there...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v366/cauterize4/101-0166_IMGCustom.jpg

Still a Coleco Galaxian Tabletop, not the best condition but at £1.50 i cant complain... All i need now are some size C batteries!!! grrr!

5 Ps1 games at 5p each, YES! 5p each :D lol
Shame 2 of them are worthless and wont be played at all...

2 Game and Watches for £1.50 (further research into one unit needs to be made, ill do a separate thread)

Hamtaro, some Shump Plug n Play (tried, disliked, off to eBay) Mario & Tetris singles on tape (remix stuff), Dreamcast Mouse (New) and DC Mad Catz Light Gun

Overall i spent about £7 today... mostly disapointing, but not too bad considering the LCD/Handheld stuff in there :)

Adam

[johno590]

I went to the flea market for the first time since last year, and I found some pretty good stuff.

1 DC Controller - $1
Unreal Tournament (DC) -$5
Crazy Taxi (DC) - $5

Super Metroid (SNES) - $8
Super R-Type (SNES) - $8

The best part of the deal was a dreamcast system. He wasn't sure if it worked or not, but for 2 bucks I took a chance. Ordered some cables for it off ebay last night.

Dreamcast (system only) - $2

You can't really see how DIRTY it was before I cleaned it... It was a mess.

[Xexyz]

Aheh. Today was a weird day.


Bases Loaded (NES, boxed, no manual) - $1... has a sticker on the box, though :(


Sticker eh? I've recently aquired a few boxed NES games that had stickers on them. The good old blow dryer trick worked like a charm for me. You should heat that sticker up nice and good and it should peel off without taking the boxart with it. I recommend that you still peel slowly though, just to be safe.

My finds for the week:

Attended another Flea Market..

Spent $10.00 for the items below..

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v21/Chris1/pinballshow204.jpg


And $5.00 on a little Buddy L School bus that my Son had to have..
(damn crazy priced vendors) x_x

You should heat that sticker up nice and good and it should peel off without taking the boxart with it. I recommend that you still peel slowly though, just to be safe.
I've actually been looking for a cheap hairdryer at the flea market, but everyone wants $10 or more for 'em! And $3 more if they test them! Stupid vendors.

Good finds on those Namco Museum discs, by the way! I love old Namco games and I'm actually surprised those were released stateside. :)

I went to a flea that I have not been to before(for you New Jersey folks, it was the Tacony-Palmyra Flea Market).

What I got:

CIB Beavis & Butthead for Genesis - $1

What I experienced for the first time:

The type of dealer most people encounter at nearly every flea market. The jerk of a vendor that overprices common stuff and won't let you look at half the stuff that he has. I asked a price on a game and he told me, then I went to look in a bag full of other loose games(game gear stuff), and he started flipping out, saying something about the stuff being the same price and etc. I couldn't understand him that well cause of his thick asian accent. :hmm: But he was one of the general "JERK" vendors, and that was the first time I have ever had to deal with one of those, needless to say I did not make a purchase.

At the Goodwill:

Sega Game Gear w/Bust-A-Move and Battery Pack $1.99
Batman: The Video Game (w/box) $0.99
Batman Forever (CIB) $0.99
Batman Revenge of the Joker (cart only) $0.99
Dinosaurs For Hire (cart only) $0.99
Jurassic Park (CIB) $0.99
Justice League Task Force (came in X-Men box. Have to go back and buy the x-man cart there tomorrow) $0.99
Primal Rage (CIB) $0.99



What's weird about the Game Gear is that I found it against the wall with all the other electronics (like the tv's, blenders, and stereos). They had another one in a glass display case (where they usually put the game systems, dvds, and camcorders) for $9.99. I guess they just price it with whatever price sticker they currently have in their pricing gun.
