    Default August 2007 Finds

    It's August and it's pretty likely that it's going to be hot in your area. Fortunately, most thrift stores, game stores and pawn shops have air conditioning these days, so even if you don't find something cool, you'll get to cool off for a bit.

    (Okay, that was corny.)

    Anyways, after staying at 799 games for about a week, I kicked off the month with the purchase of my 800th:

    Gamecube:
    Resident Evil (complete, non-Player's Choice) - $7.50

    Collection List | Twitter
    Check out the new N64 Rumble Pak. See how it feels to feel what you see.

    Default Finds Today!

    I went to a garage sale for charity, so you name whatever price you wanna pay and they accept it, i found a box of old computer games, 4 dreamcast games, and then i found a box full of non video game stuff, so the computer stuff and dreamcast games were basicallly free because i got my moneys worth from the othe rstuff i bought. The computer games are oregon trail, rainbow six, carmen sandiego, risk, and there are about 5 more, they are in boxed, the dreamcast games are jet grind radio, sonic adventure 2, centipede, and crazy taxi, they are mint and are complete in the cases. I also got a shinobi handheld acrade game thrown in with the deal. Not bad!

    I got pirates gold and herzog zwei and Aerobiz for the genesis in a lot of stuff I bought for $41 at a goodwill. It also had the model 2 genesis and sega cd system and 21 other games along with a bunch of controllers and a justifier gun. Heck, they even gave me the big blue plastic tote it was all in. I didn't even look through it when I saw the sega cd I bought it.

    They didn't even say pirates gold or Herzog zwei was part of the lot either. I was thrilled.

    PS2 games are becoming more commonplace in the thrifts locally... but it's mostly all sports games.

    however, i entered one particular thrift yesterday, and they had ONE ps2 game sitting with their dvds.


    Fatal Frame. $2

    Well, our annual central Kentucky yard sale started today and here was my first find...$10 for the whole lot and the bartering began at $40:





    Hilite for me is Mario RPG which is my first copy. Also my first Superscope. There were about 8 original Transformers toys in the box that I gave to my daughter.

    considering the extremely poor quality of this item, i am surprised it even has any art left on it at all. must not have seen much use. its just a wood board with a thin plastic decal that looks to have a paper backing. certainly not designed for exterior use! i can even turn it back into a scooter if i want!

    $4.00

    Looking at what others have grabbed, already some nice finds this month! Actually, one of the pawn shops has 9 Odyssey2 games CIB for $2 each, but they're all sports games but I might go back tomorrow and pick a couple of cool looking ones up. Also they have some CIB VCS sports titles and 2 or 3 games non-sports, but nothing like Crazy Climber (I believe I found the only one I'll find in my life last year).

    So anyways, enough delay. I'll provide pictures tonight but I grabbed FINNALLY a 5200 system with 4 ports. Here's the dirty:
    controllers:
    3 Wico stick, 2 of which don't re-center and when the store employees tested them they claimed they didn't work.
    1 Wico numeric pad, apparently it works.
    CIB Atari tracball

    As for Games:
    Joust, Space Invaders, Moon Patrol, Frogger, Q*bert, Qix
    --All CIB
    For cables there is an official RC adaptor and 2 official power supplies.

    Total dent: $52.49 after tax. Not the best EVER deal but certainly withing my price point I've been looking for. I already own a controller that I don't know the state of but will be tested tonight but I'll need to at least own 4 working controllers eventually.

    Today at a thrift, I picked up a few complete Gamecube wrestling games for $1.98 each.

    The strange part is that they also had a copy of Mario/Duck Hunt for $2.49. What??

    I went to goodwill today to pick up a cib copy of vectorman I saw there last week. it was gone, but I did get

    metal gear solid, original black label, complete if anyone wants it
    battletoads/double dragon for genesis, cib if anyone wants it
    kings quest v for pc, jewelcase with artwork.

    i thought the kings quest would sell for a decent amount on ebay, but it looks to be practically worthless. luckily, mgs seems to have gone up a lot ($25+), and bt/dd is decent as well. not bad, but I wish I could have gotten vectorman.

    Over the past week, I've bought complete copies of Cyber Speedway, Fighter's Megamix, and Creature Shock for the Saturn, Eye of the Beholder for the Sega CD, an NES Dogbone controller, Biomotor Unitron and The Last Blade for the Neo-Geo Pocket Color, and an Atari Paddle plug-and-play. And a couple of odd things I picked up in the same Goodwill, a Mira Furlan music CD (she was on Babylon 5) and a two foot tall remote control Robot from Lost In Space.
