June 2007 Finds

[Nate Nanjo]

I got Johnny Bazookatone Longbox complete - $5.00

[Masco73]

Holy shit you're right. You know I throw those out by the dozens? ME, 98, 2K CDs...

Time to abuse a cheap listing day and see if I can make some dough

You have to watch out with those. I tried to sell a original windows ME that came with a computer and ebay pulled the auction. They claim you can't sell the software that came with your computer because it was only liscenced for use on the computer you bought it with. The only ones you can re-sell are retail box versions.

Tell me about it. Heh.

As long as the disc does not say "Not for Resale", "OEM" or "Only for sale with a new computer", you're fine.

The Neverhood (PC) - 2.99 in case with inserts but no cardboard box and such (This is probably one of the best finds I've ever had, and it was a complete fluke. I almost didn't buy it since I had no idea it was actually worth good money, but I had read about it in the past and it seemed intriguing and I thought maybe there was a slim chance it would be worth something. Even if it wasn't, I figured it would be cool to own, like Wizardry, and I'm glad I took the chance.)

Glad you posted this! I just ran across this game (jewel case, manual, and CD) for 2 bucks at a garage sale and picked it up because you said it was good. And it was 2 bucks, so hard to go wrong.

Also picked up The Incredibles and MegaManX Command Mission (GCN) for $5 total (actually, all three of those games were at the same sale). And then NES Legends of th Diamond (Daimond?) for 1.80 at a thrift.

Finally found some stuff today.

RBI Baseball 2
RBI Baseball 3
Double Dragon 2
Double Dragon 3
Stinger
Gradius
-All $1 each.

SNES:
Cliffhanger ($1)
Pitfall ($2)
Raiden Trad ($2)
Ys III ($2)

All NES & SNES games are loose with minor to no physical issues.

Picked up the complete 6-DVD collection of Berserk for $20 and is only missing one of those paper/cardboard box cases to house the set. The 5th DVD case has some bonus preview DVD from Anime Works. I've only had the chance to watch the first episode long ago and it left an impression good enough to be worth a pick-up one day.

[PentiumMMX]

Now I finally have my Xbox, plus Soul Calibur II.

[PapaStu]

Nice! I thought those army training setups were still used today, or top-secret, or something. I have just rarely heard of anyone getting ahold of one.

The carts and guns have been showing up on ebay lately. They arn't cheap, but they are out there.

First Stop, Yard sale. Bought "The Spanish Guitar" CD For 25 cents.

Second stop, Goodwill Bought a "The Police' CD for $1 and Mega Force (Atari 2600, Loose) For 65 cents.

Third good stop, A yard aale, Where I got a copy of killer instinct (SNES, Loose) For a dime.

And then I got a brand new copy of Ballblazer for the atari 7800 For $1.50!

Final find, Well, Not exactly a find, But I replaced my broken whammy bar in my GH Xplorer controller with the one from my PS2 SG controller. Thank god, Now I can play thunderhorse again!

[animallyson]

I found a Vectrex, 19 boxed games, 3 controllers & the light pen for $200 yesterday. Woot!

[briskbc]

Lumies for the PSP for 10 cents. Brand new from Walmart. Not sure why is scanned so low, not that I'm complaning.

Nice find! Berserk is one of my all time favorite anime and manga series. If you like the anime, definitely check out the manga since it continues after where the anime leaves off.

Flea Market:
Tons and Tons of Crap..Same old,same old common stuff and overprices.
$100.00 for a Boxed(used condition) Nintendo Action set..WTH!!!
(Seller="We'll,I'm asking $100.00 for it"-like he's giving me a deal)


After searching isle to isle over and over I bought this Smashed SNES System with hookups for $6.00
The internals are fine and I have an empty shell to put them in..


Frustrated and having spent so much time searching for some sort of find I didn't even go to Englishtowns-Raceway Parks Pocketbike Racing practice today.



Decided to go hit some Garage sales in my area...
It was late already and I wasn't finding nothing video game related in them ..

Until>
I made the wrong turn going down into a dead end street..At the end of the street was a Garage Sale.

I go check it out and I find this bin under a table..


Hmm,What's in this..


I start sorting through the top,finding T16 Games.NES games and some crushed Atari boxed games...Saw a NES,SNES System on the bottom of the Bin..

Not sure what to buy ,too much in the bin to decide....I start to grab what looks worthwhile..(All the wires etc were tangled up,games out of boxes/Mega Man 3 was in the NES)
My initial interest was the TG-16 games ...Asking all game prices some were 2 to $5.00 each..
Frustrated with people NOW hoarding over the pile I'm making(sometimes I just want to do some sort of Ninja spin kick on these people)..I throw everything back in the bin..With a bit of anger toward the people climbing on my back I asked the home owner.."How much for the whole Bin"..
$40.00..Ding!!!,I take it and walk away..

Getting it home and searching through it was the most fun at all..
