Here's my NWCGE 2K6 Vancouver haul - 27 games in all.

$4. Works fine. It's a bit weird, though... I have a burned image of The House of The Dead 2 and tried to play it, but my TV is lower than my arm when pointing at the screen (not to mention the TV is located about four feet away from my chair!).

Playing games with it is very, very tiring. It also has a switch at the top but I have no idea what the settings are supposed to do.

[cyberfluxor]

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j238/foxhack/Sales/lightgun.jpg
I have 2 of those. They are pretty decent guns and the switch at the top changes the auto-fire settings. Downside is if you have 2 hooked up and set on auto-fire they can cancle each other out in a wierd fashion to where your gun won't reload unless you fire off the screen. It may sound wierd but when you get use to having it auto-reload without firing off the screen it can be a little annoying not realising your gun is jammed.

Yestday I returned Simcity 2k for the Playstation because I couldn't stand it. The Saturn version is so much better in many ways, but that doesn't match up to a computer. :-P I got G Darius for the PS as a replacement and I'm already preferring that. :D

[Slate]

I got a lot of stuff, But most of it goes back into august as i haven't posted my finds for awhile.

A Year at pooh corner (Red cart, complete)
Disney's Liok King: Adventures At Pride Rock (Purple cart, complete)
Huckle And Lowley's busiest day ever. (Yellow cart, loose)
Math Antics with disney's 101 dalmations (Purple cart, complete)
Mickey's blast into the past (Yellow cart, complete)
Sonic The Hedgehog's Gameworld (Cyan cart, complete)

The entire pico lot was $1. Wierd, though, All the pico items that i bought (2 picos, 8 pico games) Cost me $2 so far. $1 per lot. Bought it at a yard sale.


Super Nintendo Lot:


I was in EBGames, And some people wanted to trade this SNES lot in, But SNES is no longer tradable, So i got it instead. And before you ask, Yes i bought it outside of the store.

1 Super NES console (Both halves of it are yellow) With hookups (Don't know if i tested the RFU..) And 2 controllers, one controller not working. 14 games included, all loose:


Animaniacs
Dennis The menace (Some kid scribbled on the label with a pen)
Kid Klown In Krazy Chase (R5!)
Kirby's Dream Course ("C Lowery" Is written on it in permanent marker)
On The Ball ("Pick a flick greer plaza" Is on the front and back in permanent marker)
MS. Pac Man
Pac-Attack
Porky Pig's Haunted Holiday (This one makes me want an RGB TV)
Rocky Rodent
Super James Pond
Super Mario All-Stars
Super Mario World
Super Pinball Behind the mask (I think that is what it's called, there is a sticker on the top label)
Zoop


7 out of 14 of these have price stickers from EB or blockbuster on them, but i can't tell the prices of five of them as the price tags are half ripped off, But i can see that Rocky rodent was $5 and Kirby's dream course was $7.

I paid $15 for this SNES lot.

This SNES is the third SNES i found in 2 month's time! well, 10 week's time.


I also bought an Atari XE system for $2, Came with the controller and a light gun and one of those plastic crates that stores use.


And My most recent find: A Nintendo Virtual boy with the stand, controller, battery pack (VB is Missing foam part) And Virtual baseball, Wich is an import game! The cost, with tax, $2.53!

This is very nice as the manager of that goodwill and 2 other goodwills prices things through the roof, up into the sky, And clear to the moon.

Also, considering this virtual boy came with Virtual Baseball, i imagine it was bought off ebay.

Why it was donated is probably because someone spilled soda pop on the controller, Wich, after it dried up, Caused the buttons to be hard to press. I just cleaned the controller out with Q tips and rubbing alcohol, There was no damage done to the internal components, Only dried pepsi on the buttons.

... or seduce you. LOL

[fairyland]

Two Friday's ago during a neighborhood sale, I managed to snag a PS1 Valkyre Profile almost mint for $3.00. >.<! I could not believe it! It was in the middle of a pile of crappy PS1 games. I was calmly going though the pile thinking to myself it's another group of lousy sport games and then I came across VP and my eyes bugged out. LOL! It was so out of place with the rest of the games in the pile.

Also that day I got two Yugioh and one DBZ GBA games for $2.00 each (yeah I know lame stuff, but I was curious about them as I had never played anything from those anime series before and surprisenly they was more fun than I had expected), a N64 South Park for $1.00 that someone obviously tried to kill:

http://www.magicalgirl.com/save/Forum/001.JPG
http://www.magicalgirl.com/save/Forum/002.JPG

I've yet to try it, but I assume it'll work as I had owned a Metroid NES game with the same damage that worked fine.

Oh, the images are from a used 3 Megabyte camera that I bought for $30.00. LOL I literally had this Bosnian chick named Ulga hovering over me while I was testing it out as she wanted it as well. I spent at least 10 minutes testing it out (learning how to work it), which she probably found terribly annoying as she eventually asked me if I was going to buy it. LOL

I also managed to buy 2 Gamecube games for $1.00 each. Haunted Mansion and some lame Nicktoons sports game that looked like some form of bootleg Rugrats, which I went and resold on Half.com without even trying them out. Snagged $13.00 for the pair. :)

The week before that I was in Gamestop for their 75% off sale on SNES and I snagged Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV for 2.50 (no box nor book) and Total Carnage for 1.75 (with box and book). The Downside was that RotTK4 was really goobered up covered in filthy unidentifible crud of some sort. I was rather surprised they accepted a game in such a bad shape. It took me about 15 minutes to clean up. I'm glad I did not get some disease off of it. >.<! Now all I need is a SNES to play them on. A friend borrowed mine a year ago and I did not get one this year in a garage sale like I thought I would...(although I did manage to get a spare of just about every other common system out there) Sad to say winter is almost upon us here in New York, so I probably won't find any other gaming goodies until May. ;.;

[Sam]

I lurve retro game art. :D

[cyberfluxor]

Went by the pawn shop. I found a very nice complete Gundam Battle Assault 2 that was flawless, except those dang Gamestop stickers on it. I'll attack it someday with a stack of others games that need sticker removal, but GS sold it for $15, the pawn sold it for $3. I liked the first one and the second is already looking like the hotness. :onfire:

Uh-oh, local competition! I think I know exactly what GS you're talking about. It's the relatively new one right next to the Wal-Mart super center in Cicero. That RoTK IV was so ugly, I couldn't get myself to pick it up. I just went with the realitvely clean RoTK III only about 2 months ago when they were still just 50%. Actually IIRC, there were two copies of IV back then, but the other one was also in shit condition (torn label and very yellow).

[Kitsune Sniper]

I got two of these. Yes, it's a movie poster with a 35 minute audio tape based on the movie. Even though the front features lookalikes for Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo, the guys on the poster look nothing like them. Oh, and the poster is in 3D, and the thing includes a pair of glasses! I'm not sure what to do with them, other than perhaps sell them off. Wonder if they're worth anything. This brings my Insane Collection Of Super Mario Bros. Movie Stuff to two (okay three) items! (Remember, I bought the coloring book a while back.)

Phew.

Looking to unload if anyone wants it.

[Chainsaw_Charlie]

In the mail

Modded snes

[Jumpman Jr.]

I've been getting a lot of empty NES boxes that I need in the mail lately. Too lazy to list them all, but it is pushing me closer to my goal of having a complete boxed NES set.

I also got the box for Galactic Pinball (Virtual Boy), which puts me one box away from having a CIB Virtual Boy collection.

If anybody has the box for Nester's Funky Bowling... pm me :D

[Slate]

Also found a 12 or so good nes games (smb3, metroid, yellow label metroid, etc. etc), but they were 7 bucks at the damn goodwill!!! talked her down to 5, but still felt hosed.

What did they want, $7 for all or each?

If they were each, my local goodwill is expensive too!

$8 for a copy of NFL 97 for saturn? Wha? It's been there for 3 years if not longer...

I tried so hard to get this woman to lower the prices! I even found another nes game in the store that had a sticker for 3.99, brought it to her and she was like "oh thats wrong" *rips off the label in front of me* - *slap in the face*

I was so peeved at that point!

On the other hand, theres another goodwill with a really nice staff member who has been more than fair in those situations. I'm going to bake him a tin of cookies at xmas. ha.

These 3 games are among the best that PC gaming has to offer. I really love Alpha Centauri and these packs are hard to find today. I'm going to love having these in my collection.

What the heck does that Diablo II pack contain? o_O

[geneshifter]

What the heck does that Diablo II pack contain? o_O

It's got Diablo 1 and 2 complete copies plus the Diablo 1 and 2 full strategy guides. I do not remember seeing this in the stores when it came out. I remember the Diablo 2 complete pack or something but this is different. Everything was near mint and the CDs were mint.

Those 3 packs are the large size boxes that you all may remember. Some of these were re-released in the smaller boxes that you see in Gamestop and Target today.

I always loved those big boxes and the goodies inside :)

Ya, there was a tripple set of Diablo 1, 2, and LoD all together with manuals. It came out a few years ago and a few friends of mine got it. It's really nifty just like when they released the Warcraft I, II, and ToD tripple pack awhile back (Too bad it was before B.Net edition). It was something like $20-30 last time I saw it.

[dgordon86]

OK, where is this one located?

It's in SF, ca. :P

[nintendan]

Got these today (my first finds in a long time)....

Sega Dreamcast system
Official A/V cord for the Sega Dreamcast
Official AC Power Supply cord for the Sega Dreamcast
Official Sega VMU for the Sega Dreamcast
Official Sega controller for the Sega Dreamcast
Half-Life game (loose)

All the above for $20.00 at "Sally Ann's" (thrift store). Keep in mind, the Half-Life game was NEVER commercially released for the Dreamcast. Digital Press says it's an R10.

Also got the Nintendo Book u see pictured for $1.99 (at Value Village). This is my third copy of the book, so if anyone is in need of it, lemme know...

Keep in mind, the Half-Life game was NEVER commercially released for the Dreamcast. Digital Press says it's an R10.

That's if you can find an actual prototype copy. The code has been leaked for quite some time and that's just a CD-R burn of it. Still a game that should have been released on the Dreamcast.

Finally, got a hold of this game after the insane price gouge lately

$13 for Marvel Vs. Capcom DC that I got at the local FX store, just happy this one works, the last copy I purchased from them didn't even boot up.

Then went to a local yard sale and found these for $5

Original PSX controller
SG 6 button pad (Off brand, but works decently)
DC Tremor Pak

total spent $18

[Kitsune Sniper]

I went to the flea market on a whim yesterday and found Werewolf: The Last Warrior (NES) boxed, with foam piece and sleeve. It's got the comic, but it doesn't have the manual. :( It's up for trade, if anyone wants it.

I also picked up a boxed, used Windows XP Home Edition (with SP2) for $4. I'll try to eBay it, but knowing Microsoft, they'll just cancel my auctions again...

[scott21]

Sailorneorune how far are you from evansville? my gf lives in robards. B&M is a pretty neat place, been in there a time or two but they definitely check ebay prices before they put anything on the shelf. :(

i was able to grab my gf a few grisham books from there for cheap though.

[Sailorneorune]

about 45 minutes or so... I went up there this morning to take advantage of the sale. There wasn't a lot in the tent sale, but they had LOTS of Game Gear stuff (but alas, I am Game Gear-less), Game Boy stuff, and an extremely repetitive supply of cart games.

.hack and Capcom vs. SNK were pretty much the best stuff to come out of it.

[Slate]

OK, where is this one located?

It's in SF, ca. :P

Several thousand miles away from me.

Anyway, today's finds didn't bring Firefighter FD. 18 but next week's will, however i got some SNES games:

2 SNES controllers
1 SNES Reciever (For super scope)

4 SNES Games:

Battleclash (W Manual)
Super NES Super Scope 6
Troy Alkman Football
Wing Commander

1 NES Game:

Muppet Adventure "Chaos at the Carnival"

1 Atari 2600 Game:

E.T.

And all for $4... At the salvation army! I was like "This better not be too expensive..." And what do you know, $4 for the lot. Must be because they got new employees in.

Oh and my security bits for SNES games and Nintendo systems arrived. Not very pleased with the seller though..

Which Capcom Vs. SNK? PSX or DC? Either way, solid good price

[Sailorneorune]

Dreamcast version. It's an extra copy, as is .hack//Quarantine... so they will be added to the tradelist once I am able to bump.

Stopped by Toys R' Us and picked this up for my daughter. I'm glad to see it's an SP-2!

[Sailorneorune]

That's so CUTE! o^_____^o

How much was it? Are they hard to find?

/Pikachu fan ^^;

[dgordon86]

Also found a 12 or so good nes games (smb3, metroid, yellow label metroid, etc. etc), but they were 7 bucks at the damn goodwill!!! talked her down to 5, but still felt hosed.

good day!

Went back and talked with another supervisor on dut. She sold me...

Mega Man 2
Zelda
SMB 3
Yellow label Metroid
Metroid
Micro Machines

for 3.50 each

the other games were 2 double dribbles :P
a space shooter I had never seen
rbi baseball 2
umm..can't remember the other titles.


Then I found a nes action set complete at another thrift store for 15.00.

... 5 days till my sealed action set w/ 14 boxed games arrives!!! can't wait!

[SarKenobi]

Two sealed copies of Fire Emblem for the cube. That GameCrazy still had another sealed copy and a manual-less used copy when I left.

[fergojisan]

Today I found an N64 at a hospital rummage sale for 2 bucks (I gave them 5, because I felt bad). And it had everything to make it work except a game. And then I find out that today is the 10th anniversary of the N64's release! Yay for me! And yay for Joe too, since I will be heading to his store tomorrow looking for N64 games. :)

I also found a brown label 2600 Infiltrate, and I picked up Pokemon Snap for the N64, because they only had loose games, and I didn't want a sports game, and I didn't want to pay too much for a game if the system didn't work. But it works. :D

[cyberfluxor]

Down at the pawn shop:
Playstation:
Wing Commander IV: The Price of Freedom (C $1)
Nintendo:
Monopoly (L $1)

All 4 discs of Wing Commander were flawless but the 2 manuals had a small bit of wear, I believe the original owner flipped through them a few times, but nothing bad.

Also they had the DMX double album "Grand Champ" for $0.25. It was in nearly brand new condition and has 19 tracks total. There's a tiny sticker on the front that says "FOR PROMOTION ONLY" "NOT FOR SALE".

Knabbed .hack//SIGN Complete Collection at Best Buy for $40. I'll be quite satisfied with it because I saw the first few episodes on Adult Swim last year or so ago and just never got to catch the whole thing.

[Jimmy Yakapucci]

Went to a flea market and a couple yard sales and only came up with one buy. I picked up Batman Forver, Sub-terrania, Power Monger and Risk for the Genesis all complete for a total of $5.

[Goodwill Hunter]

Fire Emblem: PoR, Battalion Wars & Chibi-Robo were $14.99 each at Gamecrazy earlier this week. Went to a KofC flea market today and found an RCA Studio II with the all-important switchbox for 2 bucks! Now I just need to figure out the specs for the 9v power supply. Also picked up 7 goodies from a toy vendor's 25 cent bins...including a Tomy Pac-Man pocket game...

http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/4421/fleafindsmy2.jpg

But as the surrounding figures paying proper homage illustrate, the 25 cent find of the week has to be the Tiger M. C. Hammer "U Can't Touch This" handheld. I am breathless in anticipation of the LCD parachute pant goodness!

[ig88vsbobafett]

Total Cost $4

[Sailorneorune]

Nice find on the NES and Genesis goodies!

I'm sure Streets of Rage 3 more than pays for that lot.

Bad news regarding my finds from yesterday:

.hack//QUARANTINE has the case, manual, and anime DVD from Quarantine, but has the OUTBREAK GAME DISC! GAH! :angry:

Capcom vs. SNK doesn't work. :(

So I have to contact those people at the B&ME and yell at them. :eek 2:

[snes_collector]

Complete Speed Devils for Dreamcast, $2

-_-

[Simply Dave]

Stopped in my local Goodwill today.

Found:

Breath Of Fire III (PSX) complete

$2.99

Pretty good deal. :)

[MarkMan]

That's so CUTE! o^_____^o

How much was it? Are they hard to find?

/Pikachu fan ^^;

It's a Toys 'R Us exclusive... so pretty much any TRU will have it. $79.99 :)

Stopped by a garage sale this morning. Ended up picking up Final Fantasy II(SNES) and a NES system with a new 72 pin connector put in for $15 for both.

I should have got that Sega Master System he had too T.T

[scott21]

lol Sailorneorune.. i'm not very suprised :)

[Sailorneorune]

Not surprised about what? That I got two messed-up games from the B&ME, or that I like cutesy things that shoot electricity?

[scott21]

the B&M mixup

[InsaneDavid]

But as the surrounding figures paying proper homage illustrate, the 25 cent find of the week has to be the Tiger M. C. Hammer "U Can't Touch This" handheld. I am breathless in anticipation of the LCD parachute pant goodness!

That has to be the greatest find on the boards for the month of September. ROFL

Been a few weeks since I've last visited a flea market, but here I am today, very happy. First up are my sparse buys from the past two weeks from various stores:

http://img501.imageshack.us/img501/3760/im000424py6.jpg

- Capcom vs. SNK 2, Guilty Gear X, and KoF 2002/2003 were each bought at different EB stores, at $19.99 each new. The EB I got GGX from still had three more sealed copies :eek 2:. I found that strange seeing as how this game came out quite a few years ago and that the series has quite the cult following. Capcom vs. SNK 2 was new, and was a funny buy when the clerk started pushing the used copies. He stopped halfway through his sentence when he saw that the used copies go for $10 more. I saw him make a big WTF face, funny stuff :).

- Nightshade and Rygar were $7.19 each from Game Crazy.

- R-Type III was a must buy despite being $6.99 at a local Game Craze. I'm a big shmup fan.

Today I stopped at the Syracuse Regional Flea Market and was pleasently introduced to some worthy additions to my collection:

http://img436.imageshack.us/img436/1103/im000425as6.jpg

- Micky Mousecapade (NES, complete): $4
- Robocop (NES, complete): $4
- Captain America and the Avengers (SNES, complete): $4
- In the Hunt (PS1, complete, R7 baby!!! @_@): $3.50
- Super Nova, Uncharted Waters: New Horizon :D, Battle Blaze, and Super Turrican (with unremovable paint... I needed a filler pick) for $10.

All I missed out on that I wanted was a clean Super Double Dragon at a different vendor. Another guy picked it up after I moved over to the next box. No biggie since I already have the game, I was just on the look out for one to replace my slightly label damaged copy.
