nvm couldn't get the picture to fit

[Damaniel]

I went to the only Gamerush within 100 miles of me (Blockbuster game store, for those who don't have one around), and found out they were having a 50 percent off sale on some new games.

I picked up (all new):

- Lego Star Wars II (XBox 360) - $25
- Mortal Kombat: Deception Kollector's Edition (XBox) - $10
- Unreal Championship (Xbox) - $3

I've also been working on doing some organization of my game stuff, so yesterday I bought one of those storage systems that's meant to hang on a closet door, which I'm using to hold all of my controllers and other accessories. The area around my consoles looks a whole lot cleaner now... :)

[DigitalSpace]

What a great way to kick off a month. :D

First off, I hung out with Sarkenobi for a little bit in the afternoon and we hit up Stuff and a EBGames. Didn't get anything at EB, but I did manage to get something at Stuff:

NES:
Abadox (cart only) - $1.48

After we parted ways, I decided to hit up a couple more places. I wound up visiting two Goodwills and a CD/Game Exchange. At the first Goodwill, I found a black PS2 DualShock 2 controller for $2.99. That was pretty nice since I've been wanting to get another PS2 controller to replace one that broke last year. Now I have two again, and it couldn't have happened at a better time since I have a friend coming over tormorrow and we'll actually be able to play some multiplayer PS2 if she wishes.

The next stop was the CD/Game Exchange, where I got the following:

NES:
Crystalis (cart only) - $2.50 :D
Fantasy Zone (cart only) - $2.50 :D

Genesis:
David Robinson's Supreme Court (cart only) - free
NBA Live '96 (cart only) - free
NFL '95 (cart only) - free

The Genny carts were in a free box near the door that usually only has promo posters, old concert flyers, and the like. Couldn't turn them down. Also, Fantasy Zone is my first unlicensed NES cart.

At first, it seemed like the second Goodwill had nothing for me, and with my other finds of the day I wouldn't have been bummed. Overpriced Genesis sports games, bare Genny 2 and PlayStation units, and even a first party white Dreamcast controller priced at $39.99 (WTF?). But then as I was going through the game guides in the book section, I spotted an Earthbound Official Nintendo Player's Guide for 49 cents. :D
That will go great with the Earthbound cart I got for $4 in 2004. :)

Finally, late last night (so it technically was March), I was doing some cleaning and was going through some junk, and I found the SNES mouse pad that came with my original copy of Mario Paint. I thought I lost that years ago. :)

TMNT 1 and 2, both boxed but with ratty boxes, for a buck each.
That game thing? I got it for a buck, I have no idea what it is but it's mint so yeah.


That game thing is a programmable Master Mind game. With over 1 million possible combinations! And sound! And so on :-) I assume it's from Germany, as the writing is in German. IIRC you're in the States, so it has traveled quite a bit :-)
I could tell you more with some better pictures, as the small writing is unreadable to me :-)

[Scrimble]

First find of March for me. Where in time is Carmen Sandiego CIB for NES. I know it's not that rare but it's the first one i've seen in the wild.

[Slate]

Yesterday, I bought a Xbox 360 HD DVD Player. $196 W/O Tax. It's hard to believe how good the picture quality is. @_@

[thejaz]

Picked up Grandia for PS1 without the book yesterday for $7.00.

Well, I know that now. :p

Seriously though, the box has English and German instructions - so who knows why the hell it ended up in Calexico of all places. (Then again, I've bought Scandinavian stuff here, so eh.) The English instructions have a Pressman trademark on them. Totally weird.

[joshnickerson]

Not a bad day I must say...

When I got home I found a Play-Asia package waiting for me, with goodies from their recent Chinese New Years sale.

Legend of Starfi - Complete
Dialhex - Complete (LOVE that box!)
New Super Mario Bros Sound Drops ('Miss' and 'Clear')

Then at Best Buy I picked up Rave Master for $10 because, well, it was ten bucks (and I was a bit sore that I completely missed out on the $1.99 sale). Then I stopped at Goodwill and found the same SNES Madden carts that have been collecting dust for the past month in the game bin. I start to leave, but happen to glance into the VHS bin and I find

Tiny Toons Cartoon Workshop (Complete) - $3

The box is a bit beat up, but I was surprised to find the cart was in pristine shape, as well as all of the paperwork (including warranty card)!

[Drag0nsfyre]

Just some stuff in the mail today. :)
http://i19.ebayimg.com/03/i/08/b3/85/d2_1.JPG

[cyberfluxor]

PS:
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 (C $2)

I didn't realise they made a PS2 release, I'm thinking about trading this one in for it.

[GuyinGA]

With the 50% sale at Blockbuster, I got:

Xenosaga II - $14.99 Used
Capcom Collection 1 & 2 - 50% Off
Suikoden Tactics - 50% off
Xenosaga III - 50% off

I paid over $60, but saved $50 with the discounts

[ncman071]

i went to tradengames.com and ordered loose carts of secret of mana and street fighter alpha 2 both for snes. it cost $41 total with shipping. i'm not sure if this is a good deal but secret of mana was $26. i usually see it for at least $40 on ebay/amazon/flea markets etc. what do you guys think?

[Steve W]

Hit the flea market today. Didn't find anything out in the open lots where people sell junk out of their cars (best place to find games, most of the time they have no idea what they have and how much it's worth). So I went into the booth areas to the collector guy in the back. I picked up Chip Shot Super Pro Golf, complete, for $25, and a bare Miner 2049'er for the Colecovision for $10.

There's so many booths out at the flea market, I sometimes lose track of good shops. On my way out, I finally re-located the booth of the guy who I bought a Myriad 6-in-1 NES game from. He's got a lot of stuff, but nothing as good as that Myriad cart. He did have an INTV III console, along with a power-supply-less Atari 7800, amongst other things. I might end up picking that INTV III from him some time. I've been getting the urge to start looking for Intellivision stuff lately, and I don't have a model 3 console.

[damerush]

went to a flea market today in the uk and got a boxed snes advantage controller with super putty game, unscratched megadrive arcade stick, megadrive mk1 and mega cd mk1, ferrari wheel and pedals for ps1, 3xn64 controllers, a rumble pack, superscope with sensor, snes mouse and a snes competition pro joypad all for £13.91

Then when i got home my friend wanted to trade 60 of my game gear games for an atari jaguar with cybermorph, wolfenstein, kasumi ninja and tempest. a neo geo cd (top loading version) with 15 games kof 94-97 karnovs revenge, art of fighting, world heroes etc, a gameboy advance sp, a ps one with lcd screen. a boxed nes control deck which is in excellent condition long with other gaminhg bits and bobs. he wanted them pretty bad.

[Videogamerdaryll]

Flea Market..Pretty Big but not as big as I expected..I was sweating in a T shirt out there today..

The first thing I found was a Boxed Coleco Vision..$35.00 but when I asked someone had already asked.He grabbed it and gave the vendor the money.
10 minutes later I look and the same(not another) system is back on the ground in the same spot.(?)
Before I left the place I went back and offered him $25.00 and got it...


Ran into a vendor I know with usual $15.00 NES and SNES systems..I grabbed a SNES thinking it was $15.00(it wasn't the nicest,the second one was real dark faded.
Upon asking how much I noticed he needed help getting sewing machine working.
I placed the SNES back down to help and got it going right..A flea market game buying friend of mine walked up and grabbed the SNES..I cringed as I knew I messed up and put it down..I walked over to him while asking price and the vendor now wants $25.00 each,with 1 controller..
I said to my friend that "that" is what I was looking to buy but you take it,you take it..
..When I heard $25.00 I would not of bought it anyway..Upon inspecting the items the RF was broke and it had other issues that unless checked you were getting taken.
My freind did get it,as some things needed like the plug and other RF were found..

The 150-to 200 NES,N64,SNES games he has were all out on the ground but SOLD...I was grabbing this and that only to be told that everything was sold/as I watched her box everything up..
Good though as the same games I was grabbing two vendors down had the same for a lesser price.

Got my Pocket Bike-MinimotoGP Racing Boots in the mail today,scheduled for delivery on Monday via Fed-Ex.

If you play it can you tell me if that Shannara game is any good. I loved the Terry Brooks books. Awesome deals btw.

[Kitsune Sniper]

I bought and sold a copy of that game a while back - I'm fairly sure it included the novel inside. So if anything he got a book out of the deal. ;P

[Vinnysdad]

Lousy day today. All I found was a complete NUON game. Now I HAVE to find a NUON player just so I can play this game. Oh well LOL

Ballistic-NUON-$2.00

[Blitzwing256]

found these at a yard sale today:

http://www.green-ranger.com/nes/finds/finalfantasystuff.jpg

those are just the video game related things, I also picked up 2 tubs filled with transformers powerrangers and asorted other toys.
I talked to the people and they said they probably had some more that wa still stored in the house, I got thier number and when they get em out they'll give me a call (hopefully they have the rest of the parts to some of those final fantasy figures)

overall a good find for me.

[Xexyz]

Slim pickings at specialty stores... Man, I can't wait for Spring to roll around.

New Stuff:

http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/3424/im000479zc8.jpg

- Street Fighter Alpha Anthology is normally $29.99 new still... but GameStop/EB has dropped the price down to $19.99. Same story applies to Super Robot Taisen: Original Generation 2. If you're a GBA fan, and want any of the Banpresto/Atlus deal releases before they completely disappear, they're all marked down to $19.99 (B-Daman games are down to $14.99) now at the GameStop/EB chain. Lunar Knights was full $29.99 MSRP.

- Best Buy clearence was a bust for me. However, a certain title not listed on the clearence list, Klonoa 2: Dream Champ Tournament, was seven copies in stock, at the very affordable price of $9.99. You just can't pass a gem like this up for that price.

Old Stuff:

http://img478.imageshack.us/img478/4712/im000480wh9.jpg

Rares are the theme here. Trampoline Terror and Super Turrican 2 were $2.99 each, Twisted Tales of Spike McFang was $4.99, and Nectaris: Military Madness was too much :(

I'm amazed at the FF NES prices. I bought mine when Game Stop was clearing out NES games and grabbed it for under $10. There were some good games for nice prices at that time, I miss it. Game Crazy though has buy 3 games for $10 on N64, PS1, SNES, NES, GEN and other 8/16/32 bit systems.

I found a whole bunch of VHS anime at Cash Converters today!

Roujin 2
Robot Carnival
Royal Space Force the Wings of Honneamise
Bounty Dog
3x3 Eyes Perfect Collection
Wicked City
Mad 34 Bull Part 1: Scandal
Tenchi the Movie: Tenchi Muto in Love
Armitage the Third: Poly-matrix

All 9 tapes came to $6 so now I have a bunch of videos to watch. :)

Also I picked up:
Genesis:
Sunset Riders (L - $3)


A friend looks at me wierd because I'm buying all these classic animes on VHS when some are available on DVD. I'm going to watch them and most likely keep for awhile. I might sell my VHS tapes back to another store or something later in the summer, we'll have to see.

Oh, and a thrift store they had a Power Mac 3 desktop with tons of memory and all the drives and all intact. I might go back it pick it up for the $10.

Yesterday I found this at the flea market

"Omega Race" ColecoVision cart- 50 cents

Most of the other stuff was random RF Switches and power supplies. Slim pickings...

[RegSNES]

I only planned to get one game today but ended up walking out of Vac's & Videos with three.

Joe & Mac, loose, SNES $6.20
Virtua Cop, loose, Saturn $3.60
Gargyole's Quest II, loose, NES $9.10

[Kitsune Sniper]

Today was really crappy, I'm probably going to go back tomorrow and raid the booths for cheap CDs...

All I got was stuff to sell.

$10 for the DVDs, $3 for the games. I've been wanting Soldier of Fortune for the PC for a while. :)

Lunar was $25 and is complete, Alundra 2 was $8 and it's minty/ The 32x games were $10.

A couple days ago, I went to a local Fry's Electronics and bought some Xbox games knocked down cheap.

High Rollers Casino $5.03
The Suffering: Ties That Bind $4.90
Malice $4.90
Dead to Rights $5.03
Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy $4.90
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers $5.23
From Russia with Love $6.54

The thing is, several games I've bought at Fry's that already have cheap prices end up ringing up slightly cheaper at the register. For example, Malice is actually priced at $5.31, and Dead to Rights is $5.59. They've been doing that a lot lately, not that I mind. I love to pick stuff up, mentally calculate how much I'm spending, and find out I've spent even less.

I used to never buy Xbox games, preferring to pick up titles for the GC or PS2 whenever possible, but now that the 360's made the original Xbox obsolete, I'm coming across piles of new games in stores for next to nothing. I'm wondering if I might have already passed the 100 title mark.

Are you sure you're not thinking of Sales Tax markup?

No, they don't put sales tax on the price stickers. I think they're slowly marking stuff down by percentages, and their somewhat incompetent sales staff don't always keep up with new stickers. For example, a while back I picked up Metal Slug 4 & 5 because it had been dropped from $39.99 down to $24.90. When it rang up, it was $21.50. When I went a few days ago, they had lowered it to $17.50. I just don't think their staff keep up with price drops that well. Still, it's a good surprise when you plan on spending a certain amount, and come to find out it's even less at the counter.

I think its official I am the only person cleaning out the PSone games at my local Rhino...oh wait "gamestop", because I have bought about every complete game they have left with the exception of FF7 and BOF 4 but they will probably be next. I got the following today for 13 bucks and some change:

Spec Ops: Ranger Elite
Army Men: Air Attack
Syphon Filter 2
ESPN X Games ProBoarder
Dare Devil Derby
Gran Theft Auto: London
Driver 2

WWF Smackdown!
Cool Boarder 2

Man, Awesome find, How much would a factory sealed copy of Paper mario go for? I haven't any idea, But I know that it would go for a good amount.
